AND IN WITH THE NEW 2011 - AWOL HAS A NEW LOOK AND HIGH HOPES FOR HUA HIN
HUA HIN THAILAND A New Year is always a good time to freshen things up, whether it is resolutions to eat healthy, drink less and exercise more, or in our case, to present a fresh new face to you. It is also a time of optimism, as we all leave the bad news and sadness of the previous year behind and look to the coming months for hope and inspiration. Hua Hin is set for a cracking start to the year; already a major tennis exhibition match has been played between World No.1 Caroline Wozniacki and Kim Clijsters, while golf’s Royal Trophy between a team from Europe led by Colin Montgomorie and a team from Asia captained by Naomichi “Joe” Ozaki began today (7th January) at Black Mountain Golf Club. The trophy will be presented after play finishes on Sunday (9th January) and it should be a thrilling match. Arts and culture events will feature throughout the year as another attraction to the town, with well established events such as the Jazz Festival now joined by regular theatre, music and dance events at venues such as The Vic and Cicada Market (see Hua Hin Live on pages 16-18) Many people feared that this high season would be another damp squib after all the troubles over the last couple of years but early indications are that the tourists are coming in numbers, with as usual a strong Scandinavian contingent. All in all there is every reason to be optimistic about the year ahead for Hua Hin, and AWOL hopes that this proves to be the case. Welcome to 2011 and welcome to the new look AWOL.
