staying healthy in hua hin - can you afford it? HUA HIN, THAILAND AWOL was contacted last week by a reader who was very disgruntled over the cost of the medicines he had been prescribed by one of the local private hospitals, and the reason for his unhappiness was that the drugs were up to ten times the price that they could be obtained for in a local pharmacy. This is not news to anyone who has been in Thailand for a long time, but there are still many people who are not aware that this is the case, and many who have no or insufficient insurance to foot the bill incurred. Insurance is something many expats eschew, particularly medical insurance, but there have been many cases in Hua Hin over the years where a medical bill has all but bankrupted people with many being forced to go back to their home country for further treatment or to try and pay off the debt. Given the average age of many foreigners that either live here permanently or for extended periods every year, the chances are that a high number are going to require hospitalisation at least once, and more likely several times as they get older, not just from getting ill but also from accidents. Several places in the area offer a variety of packages from different insurers that would be worth any expat looking into, and at least two of our current advertisers, Siam Consulting and the Observer, are licensed insurance brokers. Don’t wait until it is too late to buy insurance, and check your bill carefully before you pay it at the hospital - both could save you money in the long run, and allow your stay here to be longer and with greater peace of mind.

stories born to be wild By Roger Norwood A report in the Bangkok Post this week on the Kui Buri National Park, about an hour south of Hua Hin, made interesting reading as it revealed that the park is still closed while an investigation continues into the discovery of 18 mysterious deaths of gaurs (Indian bison) in December last year. The article hints at this being part of a political process to grab the lion’s share of the lucrative safari business that has been thriving at the park, currently carried out by the local people who have been instrumental in making the park what it is today. The locals are extremely frustrated at how long the investigation by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation

(DNP) is taking, and have raised by themselves 100,000 baht reward money for anyone who helps catch those responsible for the death of the gaurs. Another factor in this issue is the proposal by the DNP that the Park be turned into a Unesco World Heritage site and, if approved, this would mean a substantial increase in budget allocation. Interestingly, the previous Kui Buri National Park chief was recently relocated, much to the locals displeasure. Theerapat Prayurasiddhi, deputy secretary general of the DNP has dismissed the villagers ‘conspiracy theories’ and his office has said that the park will be reopened as soon as the case of the dead animals is cleared.
The park offers another tourist string to the bow of the Hua Hin area, and given its unique nature it would be a great shame if the model of the so-called “local villagers-inclusive conservation” is denied exposure by a long closure. By all accounts the park is absolutely stunning, with large herds of elephants to be seen grazing, along with a huge variety of other wildlife including the aforementioned gaurs as well as tigers, and a unique to Thailand 12,000 rai grass prairie, which is a designated food zone for the wild animals.

SERVED UP BY...
A section for all you budding etymologists where each week the origin of a word or phrase is investigated. This week it is..... Women and children first The seafaring command that women and children be the first to board the lifeboats when a ship abandoned. HMS Birkenhead sank off the coast of South Africa on 26th February 1852. This incident is widely believed to be the origin of the phrase women and children first. The ship was carrying 480 British troops and about 26 women and children. When the ship foundered the soldiers’ commander Colonel Seton told them to ‘Stand fast!’ and allow the women and children to make use of the few lifeboats. Most of the soldiers and sailors on board were drowned or eaten by sharks, but all the women and children survived. The women and children first ethos was later called the ‘Birkenhead Drill’ and was celebrated in verse by Rudyard Kipling in his moral boosting work Soldier an’ Sailor Too: To take your chance in the thick of a rush, with firing all about, Is nothing so bad when you’ve cover to ‘and, an’ leave an’ likin’ to shout; But to stand an’ be still to the Birken’ead drill is a damn tough bullet to chew, An’ they done it, the Jollies - ‘Er Majesty’s Jollies soldier an’ sailor too! Their work was done when it ‘adn’t begun; they was younger nor me an’ you; Their choice it was plain between drownin’ in ‘eaps an’ bein’ mopped by the screw, So they stood an’ was still to the Birken’ead drill, soldier an’ sailor too! There’s no reason to doubt that the events on HMS Birkenhead were the origin of the women and children first practise. It seems that the phrase wasn’t used until later though. It doesn’t appear in any of the contemporary reports of the wreck. Something very close is cited in reference to a later wreck - that of the Central America, which went down on a voyage to New York in 1857. This
reference is from the magazine Godey’s Lady’s Book, December 1857: “Captain Herndon’s first order, ‘Save the women and children!’ was the test of this Christian heroism... Every man on board that doomed ship knew the captain was acting rightly.” The first use of the precise phrase is from a work of fiction - W. D. O’Connor’s Harrington, 1860: “Back from the boats... The first man that touches a boat I’ll brain. Women and children first, men.”

Eat in or Takeaway 081 455 5298 Capricorn Dec 22 - Jan 19 In a complete reversal of conventional wisdom, you’ll find that you do in fact have to be crazy to work at your job, and that no, it doesn’t help. Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 No one knows what mysteries lie deep in the human heart, but you figure they’re just not rinsing it enough or using a bright enough flashlight. Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 You’ve always been a never-saydie type of person. Luckily, your impending death will be so obvious that words will be unnecessary. Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20 To be truly human is to never give up; however, to be truly human is also to know the meaning of sacrifice. That’s probably too deep for you to understand though.
Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Financial success continues to elude you as you have yet to determine the best way to advertise your enjoyable, affordable moustache rides. Gemini May 22 – June 21 An error in last week’s horoscope has probably resulted in you having a chance midnight encounter with a tall dark strangler. The stars regret any inconvenience. Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 Will you have the inner strength to deny a love that is no good for you? Do you have the courage to retry a project you’ve failed at before? Find out in next week’s Cancer! Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 When all’s been said and all’s been done and you finally look back on the entirety of your life, it will be about three PM next Wednesday.
Virgo Aug 23 – Sep 22 Although it’s true that the only tool you have is a hammer, everything you see looks a lot more like a sort of medium-sized box than a nail. Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 You’ve never been able to explain why, but you have a sneaking suspicion that the narrator of 10cc’s 1975 hit “I’m Not In Love” was in fact in love. Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 You’ll manage to get through the entire Helen Keller presentation with no hilarious slip-ups, but afterwards you’re complimented by a guy with no arms and no legs who likes to waterski. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 Sometimes you miss your days as part of a plucky band of mysterysolving teens, but hey, survivor guilt is like that.

what does your daddy do? The teacher asked her class to write down on a piece of paper the type of work their daddies did. The children, very excitedly, scribbled their answers. One by one, the teacher asked each child to stand and describe the job. There was much laughter and screaming, that is apart from little Tommy. ‘Tommy, why do you look so sad?’ asked the teacher. Tommy slowly rose to his feet, and replied: ‘My Dad’s a stripper in a gay bar.’ The other children remained silent, as Tommy continued. ‘Sometimes, he doesn’t come home, and my Mummy sits crying. Sometimes, he sells his body for other men’s pleasure.’ There were gasps around the classroom. The teacher acted quickly and dismissed the children, telling them to go out and play. She then walked up to little Tommy, put her arm around his shoulders, and asked: ‘Is all that true, Tommy?’ ‘No, not at all Miss. He really plays cricket for England, but I was too embarrassed to say.’

Daily, weekly or long term busted A small church had a very attractive big-busted organist, Linda, and her breasts were so large that they bounced and jiggled while she played the organ, distracting the congregation considerably. The very proper church ladies were appalled. They said something had to be done about this or they would have to get another organist. So one of the ladies approached Linda very discreetly about the problem, and told her to mash up some green persimmons and rub them on her breasts, which should cause them to shrink, but warned her not to taste any of the green persimmons, because they are so sour they will make your mouth pucker up, and you won’t be able to talk properly for a while. The voluptuous organist reluctantly agreed to try it. The following Sunday morning the minister walked up to the pulpit and said, “Due to thircumsthanthis bewond my contwol, we will not hab a thermon tewday”.

Mags Meanderings: From Som Tam To Mushy Peas
smoke gets in your eyes The best things about retirement in the UK are that (at least for the time being) you get to travel free on buses, and receive an annual winter fuel allowance just in time for Christmas. Also - against all the odds - ageing rock bands are still doing the rounds, and you finally have the time and inclination to catch up with them before it’s too late. On the downside the number of funerals to attend begins to outnumber the gigs. Februarys’ tally was two, prompting Mags’ Mum to speculate on the fate of her artificial hip post mortem. ‘Do they take false hips and things out before ...you know.....?’ she asked. I told her no - they have a big magnet to separate out the metal bits afterwards. ‘But my hip is plastic’ she replied. Fortunately I was about to rush off to catch my bus, courtesy of the State, but was left pondering what makes elderly people begin to ask the kind of awkward questions which children are prone to do. I realise that we are all under pressure to recycle as much as we can, and maybe, having just had a successful routine checkup of said hip, Mum thought that it would be wasteful to burn such a perfect prosthetic joint. Which in turn brought to mind an incident in HuaHin about 13 years ago. The new crematorium facility had just been installed in Wat Ampharam. Paid for by some generous local benefactor whose afterlife is no doubt assured, the then shiny new building boasting an equally shiny new big chimney still stands right in the middle of town. Within easy walking distance of the markets, Mall, and main bar area. Very soon after the facility opened however it was discovered that smoke from the shiny new chimney travelled even more easily over the town than pedestrians.

Much to the dismay of residents in the vicinity, a most peculiar and very unpleasant smell reached our nostrils. It was judged to be too early in the day for barbecuing pigs, but the mystery was finally solved when MamaSan returned from the market with the news that ‘they try to burn two at same time.’ No doubt a well intentioned effort to conserve energy and help save the planet, and one which has hopefully never been repeated. ........................................... Word of the week this week is ‘vexillologist’. This is not one to try repeating when you can no longer count the number of bins in that pot on the bar in front of you. For such a silly sounding word it has a quite simple meaning - a person who studies and collects information about flags, while Its’ pal ‘vexillology’ is the study of flags. More ‘ologys’ are sure to follow in the coming weeks.

can you keep secrets?
The menu also offers some unique items that many UK and other expats will miss from ‘back home’, including genuine lamb doner kebabs and British style Indian food, as well as some items that are often hard to find in the area such as cheesecake. With a British owner, Wayne, who has many years experience as a chef, on hand to both advise his staff and chat to customers, you can be sure that only quality ingredients and professional preparation are being used, but still being offered at hard to beat prices. Secrets also offers a takeaway and local delivery service, and is open from 9am for breakfasts, until late, with kebabs available from around 5.30pm.
26 A unique new concept has hit town in recent weeks with the opening of Secrets Bar and Restaurant (above) in Soi 80. Offering a secluded hideaway in the heart of town, some customers have compared it to a beach bar on one of Thailand’s resort islands, like Ko Samui. Set back from the soi down a small alleyway on the opposite side of the street to the majority of the venues in Soi 80, the bamboo themed decor, ambience, and the friendly and attentive service make it a lovely relaxing place for a quiet meal or a refreshing drink any time of day, although evenings are probably the best time to visit when the soft lighting and the surprisingly peaceful setting comes into its own.

stone cold crazy British curling hooligans decimate Sochi
sochi, russia
The centre of Sochi was left decimated after hordes of British curling hooligans wrought destruction on their surroundings in the run up to last weekend’s men’s final. With Britain taking on Canada in the 1:30pm final, so-called fans were seen drinking heavily and picking fights with locals and opposition fans alike. Running battles throughout the streets of Sochi saw bars and restaurants destroyed and numerous arrests made. A Sochi police spokesperson told us, “We had heard rumours of the infamous curling hooligans, but nothing had prepared us for this.” “They were shouting at passers-by, drinking heavily and abusing other nations in the form of song long before the violence broke out.” “We suspect some of these people are not even curling fans at all, they are just here to fight.” A member of the British curling ‘firm’ agreed to speak with us on the basis we didn’t print

his name. He told us, “We’re here to show these poncy foreigners how it’s done.” “I always said I’d never miss it if we made it to a major final, and here I am. I can’t wait to see the boys smash the Canadians, and if I get a chance to smash a few Canadians myself on the way to the ice-cube, then great!”
One Stop Service
Olympic officials appealed for calm before the final, but also admitted that it was proving difficult to root out hooliganism in the sport. A spokesperson told us, “We have programmes of education in place, but ultimately if a fan wants to come here, get drunk and fight, there’s not a lot we can do about it.” “It’s just a shame for curling.”
