50m baht insurance fund for tourists

hua hin, THAILAND The Thai Tourism Ministry has announced this week that a 50 million baht insurance fund is to be set up on February 1, 2013, partly as an attempt to offset falling confidence of foreigners in visiting the kingdom after a number of high profile incidents.

It is aimed at aiding foreign visitors in distress, particularly those who are killed or injured while on holiday here, although the Finance Ministry still have to approve the budget. Tanittha Sawetsila Maneechot, deputy permanent secretary for the Tourism Ministry, made the announcement, while Pol General Vudh Liptapanlop from the National Police Office has had discussions with other agencies, including the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), Consumer Protection Board and Tourist Police about measures to protect foreign tourists from scams as part of preparations for the Asean Economic Community in 2015.

In addition to the threat to tourists from crime, Thailand’s Road Safety Centre has proposed that relevant agencies strive to be more accurate with accident statistics and cause of death, enforce rules about tour buses, drivers, security equipment and safety systems, provide a road safety handbook to tourists offering tips on staying safe, and encourage tourist destinations to improve road safety management through training and setting up consultancy units.

If all these measures are put in place it should mean that the rising numbers of foreigners caught up in road accidents and criminal activity is reduced, but as always the doubt remains whether the implementation will be executed as well as the announcement.

A section for all you budding etymologists where each week the origin of a word or phrase is investigated.

This week it is.... Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day; show him how to catch fish, and you feed him This week we bring you an additional phrase - Take with a grain of salt for a lifetime.

A proverbial saying which suggests that the ability to To take a statement with ‘a grain of salt’ or ‘a pinch of salt’ means to accept it but to maintain a degree of work is of greater benefit than a one-off handout.

This proverb has fallen foul of the spurious etymological skepticism about its truth. rule: ‘if you don’t know the origin of an enigmatic proverb, The idea comes from the fact that food is more easily say it is ancient Chinese’. May you live in interesting swallowed if taken with a small amount of salt. Pliny times and a picture is worth a thousand words suffer the Elder translated an ancient antidote for poison with the same fate. There’s no evidence to link ‘Give a man a the words ‘be taken fasting, plus a grain of salt’. Pliny’s fish...’ with China. A further confusion over the origin is Naturalis Historia, 77 A.D. translates thus: After the that the authoritative and generally trustworthy Oxford defeat of that mighty monarch, Mithridates, Gnaeus Dictionary of Quotations says it is of mid-20th century Pompeius found in his private cabinet a recipe for an antidote in his own handwriting; it was to the origin.

The expression actually originated in Britain in the mid following effect: Take two dried walnuts, two figs, and 19th century. Anne Isabella Ritchie, the daughter of twenty leaves of rue; pound them all together, with William Makepeace Thackeray, wrote a story titled Mrs. the addition of a grain of salt; if a person takes this Dymond, sometime in the 1880s and it includes this line. mixture fasting, he will be proof against all poisons “He certainly doesn’t practise his precepts, but I for that day. suppose the patron meant that if you give a man a The suggestion is that injurious effects can be moderated fish he is hungry again in an hour; if you teach him by the taking of a grain of salt.

The figurative meaning, i.e. that truth may require to catch a fish you do him a good turn.”

The book was published in 1890 but the story was put moderation by the notional application of ‘a grain of into print a few years earlier. The American magazine salt’, didn’t enter the language until much later, no doubt Littell’s Living Age printed the story in its September influenced by classical scholars’ study of Ancient Greek 1885 issue and it was taken from an earlier but undated texts like the works of Pliny. The phrase has been in use in English since the 17th century; for example, John issue of the British Macmillan’s Magazine.

So, the proverb dates from 1885 or shortly before and Trapp’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments, there’s every reason to suppose that it was coined by 1647: “This is to be taken with a grain of salt.”

Anne Ritchie.

The source of the mid-20th century and Chinese origin The ‘pinch of salt’ variant is more recent. The earliest theories are various US magazines from the 1960s, for printed citation found for it is F. R. Cowell’s Cicero & example The Rotarian, June 1964: ...the Chinese axiom the Roman Republic, 1948: “Give a man a fish, and you have fed him once. Teach “A more critical spirit slowly developed, so that Cicero and his friends took more than the proverbial pinch him how to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime.”

Publications of that sort were what brought the proverb of salt before swallowing everything written by these into general use but, as we have seen, weren’t the actual earlier authors.” source.

washington, usa Death Star petition rejected as ‘too expensive’ by White House officials A petition to build a real-life Death Star space station from the Star Wars film series has been officially rejected by the White House. More than 36,000 people signed the appeal calling for the US government to ‘secure resources and funding, and begin construction of a Death Star by 2016. Supporters argue the project, which would require an estimated $850quadrillion (£520q), would spur job growth and bolster national defences.

Yet it doesn’t look like fictional moon-sized super weapon will become part of the US military’s arsenal anytime soon after the proposals were rejected.

The White House, who must respond any petition that gets more than 25,000 signatures, said it already has an International Space Station in orbit around the Earth.

‘The administration shares your desire for job creation and a strong national defence, but a Death Star isn’t on the horizon,’ said White House space executive Paul Shawcross. ‘It has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000.We’re working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it.’ He added that the US government ‘does not support blowing up planets’. He signed off his letter by saying: ‘Remember, the Death Star’s power to destroy a planet, or even a whole star system, is insignificant next to the power of the Force.’

sydney, australia Bikini waxes putting ‘crabs’ on endangered species list Pubic lice, or ‘crabs’ as they are better known, could be on the way out because of the bikini wax. The parasites may now be an endangered species because of the female beauty treatment, which involves getting pubic hair removed. Doctors found as the hair disappeared so did the lice that inhabited it.

it had not dealt with women suffering from crabs since 2008 and cases in men had decreased by 80 per cent in ten years. ‘It used to be extremely common; it’s now rarely seen,’ said Basil Donovan, sexual health worker at the centre. ‘Without doubt, it’s better grooming.’

Medical entomologist Ian F Burgess added: ‘Pubic grooming has led to a severe depletion of crab louse populations. Add to that other aspects of body hair depilation, and you can see an environmental disaster in the making for this species.’ exeter, uk Couple discovers £50,000 Buddhist heirloom gathering moss outside their house Most people have a clear out before they move house which usually involves getting rid of those tired curtains or noisy fridge. But the Hickmotts are selling off their doorstep, which just happens to be a Buddhist temple step up to 1,300 years old and worth about £50,000.

The one tonne, 2.4m-long (8ft) granite artefact was left outside Bronwen Hickmott’s family home after her parents bought it from a tea planter who returned to Sussex from Sri Lanka in the 1950s.

The artefact, which she calls ‘the pebble’, has been gathering moss outside her and husband Mike’s home in Exeter since she inherited it. The couple, who are in the process of moving, discovered the heirloom was of ‘great historical interest’ after they happened to show a photograph to Bonham’s auctioneer Sam Tuke.

‘It is in amazing condition,’ Mr Tuke added. Alice Bailey, Bonhams head of Islamic and Indian art at Bonhams, said animal carvings on the museum piece ‘symbolise the four stages life; growth, energy, power and forbearance’.

The step is from the Anuradhapura period, between 400BC to 1017AD. Sri Lanka’s ancient city of Anuradhapura is now a Unesco world heritage site.

The auction takes place in London on April 23.

Happy events A chicken farmer went to a local bar, sat next to a woman and ordered a glass of champagne.

The woman perked up and said, ...’How about that?... I just ordered a glass of champagne too!’

‘What a coincidence’ the farmer said.... ‘This is a special day for me.... I am celebrating.’

This is a special day for me too, I am also celebrating,’ said the woman.’

‘What a coincidence!’ said the farmer... As they clinked glasses he added,... ‘What are you celebrating?’

‘My husband and I have been trying to have a child and today my gynecologist told me that I am pregnant!’

‘What a coincidence!’ said the man.... ‘I’m a chicken farmer and for years all of my hens were infertile, but today they are all laying fertilized eggs.’

‘That’s great!’ said the woman.... ‘How did your chickens become fertile?’

‘I used a different cock,’ he replied.

The woman smiled, clinked his glass and said...... ‘What a coincidence!’

Daily, weekly or long term we’ve all been there? (thanks to Karl) A guy goes to the supermarket and notices a very attractive woman waving at him. She says, ‘Hello.’

He’s rather taken aback because he can’t place where he knows her from.

So he asks, ‘Do you know me?’

To which she replies, ‘I think you’re the father of one of my kids.’

Now his mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful to his wife. So he asks: ‘Are you the stripper from the bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table, with all my buddies watching, while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery?’

She looks into his eyes and says calmly, ‘No, I’m your son’s teacher.’

Local Sports Street Map

ABSENT WITHOUT LEAVE IN CHA AM FOR THE EXPAT IN ALL OF US

ChaAm news Swiss Sheep Farm Opened in July 2012, it’s the latest addition to Cha-am’s attractions. It’s a park of about 20 rai, with animals in a western-like farm setting. It’s called the Swiss Sheep Farm, but with an old Dodge rusting in the sun, an English phone booth and a Dutch windmill, you feel more like you are in a Thai park filled with random western clichés! The main activity is to enter the sheep fold and feed the sheep with grass, or bottle-feed a calf. There are also a few rides for small children, and a restaurant. Just like Santorini Park, the Swiss Sheep Farm is one of those trendy, “exotic” places where Thai people like to stop on the way to their holiday destination, to

enjoy the scenery and take pictures.

The children will love it too, but don’t expect an educational trip, as nothing is said about sheep-farming, shearing or dairy produce.

The Swiss Sheep Farm is on Phetkasem road (highway #4) at kilometer 201, on the left side of the road when coming from Bangkok, just before the PTT gas station and 500 meters before the fork to Chaam and Hua Hin on the left (straight being the bypass to Pranburi).

Open everyday from 10am to 7pm.

Admission fee 50 bahts for adults, 30 bahts for children.

contact us Please direct any enquiries to Darren at the Cha Am Pub (see ad below), or you can of course also contact us direct by email on info@ awolonline.net or any of our other contact methods shown on page 32.

Eat in or Takeaway 081 455 5298 Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 Next week will be a time of great financial and emotional rewards.

It’s just too bad you won’t be there to see it.

Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 Your shocking decision to pose nude in Cosmopolitan may not have created such a stir had you asked the editors’ permission first.

Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 The stars indicate you shouldn’t forget the Lawn Bowls Hua Hin Open Day this Saturday, but make sure you have sturdy shoes.

Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20 Your life will be drab and gray until you discover that your stuffed animals can be posed in amusing sexual positions.

HUSH !!

Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Don’t be so sensitive. Sometimes, when people say “big, fat, flaming asshole,” they really just mean “fat asshole.”

Gemini May 22 – June 21 You’re the kind of person who likes to have the right tool for the job, so don’t be caught without a complete set of dental picks this week.

Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 Jupiter is in your sun sign this week, making it pretty crowded in there, what with Jupiter being the largest of the planets and all.

Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 You thought true love would last forever, but you’re shocked to discover an expiration date printed on the back, just below the consumer warnings.

Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 Financial reward could be in your future this week, as Gemini is offering limited-time zero-percent interest on all balances transferred from other Zodiac signs. Apply now.

Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 You will fall victim to a dangerous personality disorder that makes you believe that the personal lives of celebrities are interesting and important.

Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 Frankly, the stars don’t understand what your problem is with calamari. So what if it’s tentacles?

It’s delicious! Eat it already!

Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 You’ll feel cheated this week when you discover there’s no law that says you have to be nice to old ladies.

Don’t tell anyone but I live in an area just like Hua Hin used to be 20 or 30 years ago

We have miles and miles of empty beaches.

Wherever you live you are surrounded by trees and tropical shrubs and the sea may be at your doorstop or only a few minutes away.

Living is peaceful - no traffic jams, condos or pollution. All necessities are here but for special things we have Hua Hin or Chumphon to the North or South.

So why don’t you think of joining us in this little Paradise by buying inexpensive land for a holiday home,weekends or permanent move?

We are Sopha Land and Houses At Suang Luang Beach
