HUA HIN CITY PLAN BEING DRAFTED

HUA HIN, THAILAND In what many observers believe is long overdue, Prachuap Kiri Khan Provincial Governor Veera Sriwattanatrakul announced this week that a new city plan is in the process of being drafted for Hua Hin. Speaking on Monday, Mr Veera said that the new city plan will address regulations which restrict or prohibit commercial development in some areas to help the expansion of Hua Hin town.

He added that tourist numbers in Hua Hin surged 40% last year as the town welcomed 3 million visitors - both Thai and foreigners. That strong tourism growth is expected to continue, especially when the government’s planned Bangkok-Hua Hin high-speed train service becomes operational, tentatively set for 2017. The plan is likely to include proposals for a new bypass because of the traffic congestion problems that beset the town, although he added that sensitive areas, such as beaches and land near Klai Kangwon palace, will remain off-limits to commercial development.

Public hearings will be held although it is not clear if this will be a consultation process or just a presentation of the plan, while Mr Veera also said that the plan will be implemented within a year..

EDITORIAL COMMENT: While this may be seen as overdue, kudos must go to Mr Veera for making this happen, and it must be hoped that the plan is both sensitive to retaining the ‘feel’ of the town while at the same time ensuring residents, visitors and businesses get an infrastructure and opportunities that will allow Hua Hin to become a truly world class destination.

STORIES TO LIKE OR NOT TO LIKE?

By Roger Norwood A furore has broken out in Thailand over comments made by Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Minister Anudith Nakornthap this week stating that internet users need to be wary that clicking ‘like’ and sharing hearsay about possible coups and violence could be deemed as damaging national security, hence breaching the Internal Security Act and the Computer Crime Act. Some believe that this was timed to suppress anti-government groups led by the People’s Democratic Force to Overthrow Thaksinism, and while that may be true, there are genuine concerns that this is part of the government’s attempts to hold on to power by preventing political debate.

Thailand does have some fairly stringent laws in place related to freedom of expression, particularly the infamous ‘lese majeste’ law designed to protect HM The King, and this is one in particular that foreigners should be wary of transgressing. Several foreigners have been arrested and found guilty in recent years, although some have also been pardoned, but anyone who writes about Thailand and their comments are either published or viewable online in Thailand should be careful, particularly on internet forums and social media sites, as not only the writer but the owner of the website can land in hot water Many Thai-centric forums explicitly ban discussion of the monarchy to avoid problems.

The online communities have been generally scathing in their criticism of the minister’s comments, as most Westerners have grown up in countries where free speech is regarded as an absolute right, however there is a worrying trend worldwide to restrict this freedom, as well as a number of incidents that have exposed how much of our private lives are being monitored by the authorities.

Thailand does actually mean ‘Free Land’ and there is a great pride among the Thai people in their nation, but how free is it really?

NEWPORT, UK Cannabis plants ‘found in official Newport city flower pots’ Members of the public admiring flowers installed by the council around Newport city centre may have been surprised to discover some of the vegetation on display were cannabis plants. The rogue plants were apparently spotted in six separate plant pots in the Welsh city, with some of the 20 suspect herbs located close to a police station. It has not been confirmed whether the shrubs were indeed the illegal substance but Wales Online took several snaps of them before they were removed.

Shop owners Dean Beddis and Steve Reynolds said they saw the suspicious plants while walking home from the pub. ‘I had never seen cannabis growing in the wild before so it was crazy to see it,’ Mr Beddis told Wales Online. ‘We thought Newport was trying to be a new Amsterdam and doing its best to win City in Bloom. But they have gone now. I don’t know who took them.’

Rhys Hutchings, a Newport councillor and member of rap group Goldie Lookin Chain, blamed the alleged incident on the city’s ‘underworld.’ ‘Probably teenagers,’ he said. ‘I’m pretty sure it’s not Alan Titchmarsh.’

A Gwent police spokesman said they were unable to

take the matter further because they couldn’t determine if the plant was cannabis as it had disappeared.

KOMI, RUSSIA Thief caught after he ‘steals stretch of road’ Thieves normally steal objects that are easy to transport so it might have come as a surprise when one criminal reportedly made off with a whole stretch of road. Just as confusing was the fact that no-one seemingly noticed part of the Russian highway had gone until the man had dismantled a large portion of it and removed 82 slabs of concrete. The only possible explanations for this were he was either very quick when he made his getaway in the republic of Komi, or the place was deserted. The street pieces were apparently loaded on to three large trucks after being chiselled off by a machine thought to be an industrial manipulator (a combined forklift and bulldozer). The vehicles were later stopped by police.

The concrete was worth a total of £4,000 and a 40-yearold suspect from Syktyvkar has already confessed to the crime, according to the Russian government.

If he is prosecuted he could go to prison for a maximum of two years.

INTERNATIONAL RULES OF MANHOOD (PART 2) 10: You may flatulate in front of a woman, only after you have brought her to climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the purpose of flatulent entertainment, she’s officially your girlfriend.

11: It is permissible to drink a fruity alcohol drink only when you’re sunning on a tropical beach... and it’s delivered by a topless model and only when it’s free.

12: Only in situations of moral and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another guy in the nuts.

13: Unless you’re in prison, never fight naked.

14: Friends don’t let friends wear Speedos. Ever. Issue closed.

15: If a man’s fly is down, that’s his problem, you didn’t see anything.

16: Women who claim they “love to watch sports” must be treated as spies until they demonstrate knowledge of the game and the ability to drink as much as the other sports watchers.

17: A man in the company of a hot, suggestively dressed woman must remain sober enough to fight.

18: Never hesitate to reach for the last beer or the last slice of pizza, but not both, that’s just greedy.

19: If you compliment a guy on his six-pack, you’d better be talking about his choice of beer.

20: Never join your girlfriend or wife in discussing a friend of yours, except if she’s withholding sex pending your response.

21: Phrases that may NOT be uttered to another man while lifting weights: a) Yeah, Baby, Push it! b) C’mon, give me one more! Harder! c) Another set and we can hit the showers!

For all other situations, an almost imperceptible nod is all the conversation you need.

23: Never allow a telephone conversation with a woman to go on longer than you are able to have sex with her.

Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if necessary.

24: The morning after you and a girl who was formerly “just a friend” have carnal, drunken monkey sex, the fact that you’re feeling weird and guilty is no reason for you not to nail each other again before the discussion occurs about what a big mistake it was.

25: It is acceptable for you to drive her car. It is not acceptable for her to drive yours.

26: Thou shalt not buy a car in the colours of yellow, pink, lime green, orange or sky blue.

SURGERY As the doctor went through my notes, he said, “The surgery has risks. You will almost certainly regain the sight in your eyes but there is a chance it will affect your ability to maintain an erection.”

MAGS MEANDERINGS: FROM SOM TAM TO MUSHY PEAS

LIGHTING UP TIME Following on from Political Correctness and Equal Opportunities, our trilogy of annoying Western ways concludes this week with Health and Safety.

The first example from Julys’ crop of safety warnings is really just common sense when you think about it, yet it concerns a practice which most of us who have ever owned a dog will no doubt have engaged in. Throwing a stick.

Vets in the UK are now concerned about the number of quite horrific sounding injuries which dogs can suffer when they go to retrieve a stick. Either a fast moving dog meets a stick which has lodged in the ground, or a fast moving dog tries to catch a slower moving stick in mid-air. Either way a lot of damage can be done to the dogs’ mouth and throat which, apart from the stress caused to both dog and owner, can these days result in a veteranary bill of hundreds, if not thousands, of pounds.

On a less serious note one Local Authority in the UK, which should really remain anonymous to avoid embarrassment to its’ elected representatives, (but OK if you insist it is North Kesteven Council in Lincolnshire) has come up with a great way to enforce Health and Safety, while at the same time giving a much needed boost to its’ coffers.

This simple plan is to ban smoking in all vehicles.

UK employers have been able to enforce a smoking ban in their vehicles for quite some time now, but the debate about private drivers smoking habits has continued, mainly due to concerns over the effect of secondary smoking on children.

But of course the quite understandable ban on the use of hand held mobile phones while driving has opened up a whole can of worms. Is it safe to change a CD or fiddle with the MP3 player while driving? Can we be trusted to eat an apple, or rip the wrapper off a toffee with our teeth?

We all know deep down that our driving instructor was right. Hands on the wheel in the ‘10 to 2’ position served us well and felt safe - until that is we had passed our driving test and really begun to learn how to drive. Some common sense did still prevail. We didn’t attempt to unwrap the toffee or change the CD while negotiating a roundabout for example, and learned to make use of red traffic lights to carry out those more tricky tasks, which could also include lighting a cigarette. it wasn’t as if we were driving with a phone in one hand and a cigarette in the other while balancing a baby on the steering wheel.

If North Kesteven Council gets its’ way those days will be far behind us, and all drivers will be treated like irresponsible numpties in what used to be the sacred space of their own cars.

Quite how the ruling would be implemented without Local Authority border patrols though is anyones’ guess.

Every road into the area would need a sign warning unsuspecting drivers that they were about to enter a ‘No Smoking While Driving’ zone. Officers or cameras would need to be deployed on every road, and it would be only fair to provide signs on the way out as well - ‘You May Now Light Up.’ 15

AQUARIUS JAN 20 – FEB 18 You’re getting to the point where you’d kill for a cigarette, despite never having smoked in your life.

PISCES FEB 19 – MAR 20 You’ll finally find the answer you’ve been searching for, moments after ruling out A., B., and multiple choice C. ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20 Your emotional stasis, lack of imagination, and inability to tell right from wrong will continue to be valuable assets in the world of high finance.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21 Not that it’s really the Zodiac’s business, but most people take the dead goldfish out of the tank before adding new ones. The same goes for the drowned cats.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUNE 21 A bizarre misunderstanding on your part will result in your going to church every Sunday and speaking sincerely to invisible entities with the belief that it might do you some good.

CANCER JUN 22 – JUL 22 Your insistence that no one can know how you feel right now will only point out how pathetic it is to be dumped by three bearded ladies in a row.

LEO JUL 23 – AUG 22 The stars don’t think it would be fair to give you a new prediction until the one about finding happiness, love, or wealth comes true.

LIBRA SEP 23 – OCT 23 Personal growth looms large in your future as you are transformed into a 1,000-foot giant who blots out the sun.

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 21 Your hatred of the strange and unfamiliar leads you to open hundreds of identical fast-food restaurants.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 22 – DEC 21 It’ll be a nuisance wearing the Nielsen box on your head all week, but at least you’ll find out that your viewership goes up when you’re fighting or having sex.

TAKE THE PRECIOUS PETER JACKSON TO TURN BALE TRANSFER INTO TRILOGY

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND THE long-running saga of Gareth Bale’s journey from Spurs to Real Madrid is to be made into a film saga by Peter Jackson.

The director who turned short farmers on a walk into a box office hit has already begun pre-production on the first film, detailing Bale’s plucky battle against the tyrannical club that pays him £110,000 a week.

Jackson said: “The trilogy is essentially a race between simple, good-hearted Welshman Bale and feral, once-human Luis Suarez for a massive contract with Real Madrid.

“The opening shot pans across the verdant, unspoilt greenery of heavy-manufacturing heartland Cardiff where a poor-but-happy Bale lives in his burrow on a high-rise housing estate.

“Flaxen-haired Savage the elf and wise old wizard Giggs the Grey launch our hero on his

Left: Gareth Bale shows where his heart lies

quest for a mountain of gold. He escapes the bitebeast Suarez by tricking him into thinking he has his heart in his hands by doing his trademark goal celebration.

“There was some worry with the finance

people because, like with Harry Potter, we’re filming a story before it’s actually reached its conclusion. But Gareth has assured me the transfer will be completed by July 2015 at the very latest.”

Real Madrid, to be depicted as a giant glowing red eye in the heavens, said: “Can I just say that there’s no need for players to issue comeand-get-me statements through the media.

“We’re Real Madrid. It doesn’t matter what you or your agent or your club or your wife says, if we want you we’ll get you.

The film A Universally Expected Journey, will be released at Christmas, going up against comedy Wenger’s Millions about a football manager trying to spend a fortune by August 31st.
