it’s a rip off! beach area restaurants accused of over charging customers
hua hin, THAILAND Twenty two restaurants in Hua Hin are reportedly under investigation for over charging for food, following a series of complaints to police as well as stories on social media. Police are encouraging both residents and tourists alike to report to them if they believe they are being ripped off, particularly by beach restaurants. While no details of the restaurants concerned have been released, or many details of how the alleged offences have transpired, it is believed that either no menu or a menu with different prices is presented to customers, and when they come to settle the bill are faced with an exorbitant amount. Two instances have been quoted, one of which saw a group of customers charged 3,820 baht for ordering only nine menu items, while a family from Nonthaburi were charged over 7000 baht for their meal at a beach restaurant. Police Major General Trithanet Sunthornsuk, the superintendent of the Prachuap Khiri Khan police, concluded that the case is relevant to consumer fraud. He also said there has been evidence showing the food prices were intentionally manipulated. Action has been swift, and at press time (Wednesday 13th August) the authorities in Hua Hin have deployed a group of soldiers to conduct ‘beach-cleaning efforts’ to reorganize the beach area. Sixty six business operators and restaurant owners would also have their shops and buildings dismantled and would be completely evicted from the area. Police are currently working with related agencies such as the Hua Hin Municipality and the Consumer Protection Bureau to ensure that consumers are being treated fairly.

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..... Make no bones about To state a fact in a way that allows no doubt. To have no objection to. This is another of those ancient phrases that we accept with our mother’s milk as an idiom but which seem quite strange when we later give it some thought. When we are trying to convey that we acknowledge or have no objection to something, why bring bones into it? It has been suggested that the bones were dice, which were previously made from bone and are still called bones in gambling circles. That explanation doesn’t stand up to scrutiny - ‘to make no dice about it’ makes little sense. Also, in a 1542 translation of Erasmus’s Paraphrase of Luke he discussed the command given to Abraham to sacrifice Isaac and wrote that ‘he made no bones about it but went to offer up his son.’ Erasmus wasn’t noted for his visits to the gaming tables and would hardly have used betting terminology to discuss a biblical text. The actual source of this phrase is closer to home and hearth. In 15th century England, if someone wanted to express their dissatisfaction with something, they didn’t ‘make bones about it’, they used the original form of the phrase and ‘found bones in it’. This is a reference to the unwelcome discovery of bones in soup - bones = bad, no bones = good. If you found ‘no bones’ in your meal you were able to swallow it without any difficulty or objection. The earliest citation of the phrase in print comes from the Paston Letters, which include a collection of texts from 1459 relating to a dispute between Paston and the family of the Norfolk soldier Sir John Fastolf (Fastolf was, incidentally, the source of the character Sir John Falstaff in Shakespeare’s Henry IV). In the Paston Letters, the context of which is that the litigants are finally accepting a verdict with no objection, Paston includes the line:
“And fond that tyme no bonys in the matere.” [and found that time no bones in the matter] ‘Making bones’ is usually expressed in the negative. There are rare occurrences of people being described as ‘making bones’ about this or that, and an early example comes from Richard Simpson’s The School of Shakspere, 1878: “Elizabeth was thus making huge bones of sending some £7000 over for the general purposes of the government in Ireland.” ’Make no bones about it’ is now rather archaic and heard less often than before. It did return briefly during the 1980s, as an example of the ‘waiter, I’ll have a crocodile sandwich, and make it snappy’ form of joke. ‘Waiter, I’ll have tomato soup and make no bones about it’ linked neatly back to the phrase’s culinary origin.

JURISDICTION / CONSOLIDATION
Many expats have numerous assets all over the world. You may have a property and some cash in Thailand, more cash in your home jurisdiction, plus some stocks and shares in Timbuktu. Oh and don’t forget the mutual funds in.... ah, I seem to have lost track…
Rather than have your assets spread over various jurisdictions, having them all governed by the same laws generally makes things simpler. Further, having all of your assets within one wrapper means the admin involved is more streamlined.
Whilst all this sounds great, portfolios of this nature can be an administrative nightmare for your beneficiaries should something happen to you. Probate,... lawyers in different countries, .. admin, ... as well as cross jurisdictional tax issues. Further, it can take months, or even years, for the proceeds of the estate to reach the intended recipients. These are all realistic hurdles that your loved ones may have to face, however, there are ways to help mitigate the complexities involved.
ESTATE PLANNING
With this in mind, instead of the above headache, many expats are opting to consolidate their assets into one offshore wrapper called an International Investment Bond. Most investment types can be put into a bond such as cash, shares, funds, structured notes etc. Most bonds do not accept real estate property, however, as part of their estate planning strategy some expats look to sell their properties, deciding to hold the property value as investments, such as shares, within a bond instead. TAX ADVANTAGES Ultimately, an International Investment Bond is where your investments can live in an offshore location. As an expat, the investments within the bond would most likely attract tax free growth. The offshore locations are robust jurisdictions such as The Isle Of Man, Guernsey and Jersey. Unfortunately tax free growth would not be the case for US tax payers as they are taxed globally, however, most other nationalities would enjoy this tax related perk.
Whilst the above points are advantageous, most expats find that the key benefit of an International Investment Bond is simpler estate planning. As mentioned above, it can take months or years for a person’s assets to pass to their beneficiaries as probate can be complex and timely. By contrast, when using an investment bond, the assets are often transferred to beneficiaries within around just 14 days of receipt of the relevant documents. This is a much swifter and less complex process which is extremely valuable at a time when a family may need the assets rapidly, without the extra stresses involved in winding up a loved one’s estate. If you would like to know more about International Investment Bonds, please feel free to get in touch.

Aquarius Jan 20 – Feb 18 Your coworkers seem to be hinting that they wouldn’t mind if you got rid of that beard, but you’ve been married to her for almost 10 years now. Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 Pluto rising in your sign this week indicates vast trouble ahead, as you really shouldn’t be able to see it with the naked eye like that. Aries Mar 21 – Apr 20 You try to be an accepting person, but you still don’t see why some people can’t be a nice, normal gender instead of women.
Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Turns out that while dogs can’t actually smell fear, they’re really good at smelling who likes to carry bacon around in their pockets. Gemini May 22 – June 21 When you think about it, there’s really only one way to quit your job at the refinery in a way they’ll remember for hundreds of years.

Libra Sep 23 – Oct 23 It’s not wearing a white dress to your third wedding that people will find odd. It’s the blood of your two previous husbands on the veil and train. Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 Truth be told, you haven’t been a very good father, but it’s not your fault that the mothers of your children haven’t informed you of their existence. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 You’ll receive a recorded message from your future self in which you appear extremely insistent that an unspecified person be thanked for a waffle recipe.

guide dog A blind man is standing at the corner with his guide dog waiting to cross the street, when his pooch lifts his leg and pees down the side of his nice herringbone tweed trousers. The guy immediately reaches into his jacket pocket and retrieves a doggie biscuit which he starts to offer to Fido. A businessman, who is also waiting to cross the street, observes this happening and interrupts, “Excuse me buddy, but are you aware of the fact that your dog just peed all down the leg of your pants?” “Yes, I’m trying to break him of this dreadful habit”, replies the blind man. “Well, it’s none of my business,” says the onlooker, “but you’re not going to teach him much by rewarding him with a biscuit!” To which the blind fellow chuckles, “Oh I’m not rewarding him. I’m just trying to find his head so I can kick his ass!” doctor’s office A couple, age 67, went to the doctor’s office. The doctor asked, “What can I do for you?” The man said, “Will you watch us have sexual intercourse?” The doctor looked puzzled, but agreed. When the couple finished, the doctor said, “There is nothing wrong with the way you have intercourse.” And he then charged them $32.00. This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an appointment, have intercourse, pay the doctor and leave. Finally the doctor asked, “Just what exactly are you trying to find out?” The old man said, “We’re not trying to find out anything. She is married and we can’t go to her house. I am married

We do it here for $32.00, and I get back $28.00 from Medicare for a visit to the doctor’s office.” half sister One Sunday morning Joe burst into the living room and said, “Dad, Mom, I have some great news for you! I am getting married to the most beautiful girl in town. She lives a block away and her name is Susan.” After dinner, Joe’s dad took him aside, “Son, I have to talk with you. Your mother and I have been married 30 years. She’s a wonderful wife but she has never offered much excitement in the bedroom, so I used to fool around with women a lot. Susan is actually your half-sister, and I’m afraid you can’t marry her.” Joe was heart-broken. After eight months he eventually started dating girls again. A year later he came home and very proudly announced, “Dianne said yes! We are getting married in June.” Again his father insisted on another private conversation and broke the sad news. “Dianne is your half-sister too, Joe, I am very sorry about this.” Joe was furious! He finally decided to go to his mother with the news. “Dad has done so much harm. I guess I am never going to get married”, he complained. “Every time I fall in love, Dad tells me the girl is my half-sister.” His mother just shook her head. “Don’t pay any attention to what he says, dear. He’s not really your father.”

Mags Meanderings: From Som Tam To Mushy Peas
much ado about nothing Time flies when you are enjoying yourself - or so the old saying goes. It also flies when you are doing a bit of decorating, as I found to my cost when the time suddenly arrived to prepare this weeks ‘To Hull and Back’ without one single glimmer of inspiration. Obviously talking about the weather is a non starter, because to talk about it would involve moaning which, (see last weeks page), is not allowed. Resorting to the newspapers for ideas also proved to be a non starter. They had all been used to cover the kitchen floor while pasting wallpaper. And in any case August is traditionally supposed to be a bad month for news isn’t it? Certainly there seems to have been even more media attention than usual on some of our younger Royals, who don’t seem to be able to do anything right when it comes to work. They are damned if they want a career and damned if they don’t. At least British newspapers do have the option of making scathing remarks about their monarchy. Goodness knows how Thai newspapers manage to fill their August issues. The only hope was to look back at what was happening - or not as the case may be - this time last year, and lo’ and behold August 10th was the date of the Great Bintabaht Fire, which pretty much destroyed Viking and Cheers bars. Just a month before the Great Fire, in July 2013, AWOL launched an appeal for contributions to the Hua Hin Bar Area Project. The idea being to build a record of Hua Hins’ bar scene past and present, with names, locations, details of changes over the years in names and ownership, and where possible any juicy bits of info on the owners. As we all know only too well the bar scene in any Thai resort can change rapidly, and Hua Hins’ is no exception. Memories quickly fade. But unlike some other resorts which shall remain nameless Hua Hin still has a relatively short history of bars, especially farang ones. It also has a fair number of expats who have been around for 15 years or more. A handful of bars have even remained the

same without changing hands for that period of time, which is roughly the period we had hoped to cover in our potted Hua Hin bar history. Unfortunately though the project hasn’t exactly been inundated with information, so if you have nothing much to do this month please catch up with it on the AWOL Forum and try to rack your brains for any memories however small - that could help to fill the gaps.

Sunday 17th August 2014 PREMIER LEAGUE Liverpool v Southampton 19:30 Two teams who will find it hard to top last season’s performances, with both losing key personnel during the close season. The Reds will still be a force but the Saints we believe will struggle. This should be a comfortable opening day win for the home side even without Suarez.

League title to be awarded to most insane manager
england THE Premier League title will be given to the team whose manager is the biggest lunatic, it has emerged. Louis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho are among the frontrunners after it was decided that demented managerial antics were more entertaining than actual football. Bookies cited Van Gaal’s David Lynchstyle haircut, coupled with the autocratic style of a banana republic dictator, as making him a strong contender in the mentally unhinged stakes. But Jose Mourinho has been rehearsing a few borderline-arrestable tricks of his own in training, including jabbing the fourth official in the backside with a fork. Meanwhile Arsene Wenger has brought in a slapstick expert to help him develop his ‘unzippable caterpillar anorak’ routine and Brendan Rodgers is to communicate exclusively in 90s-style corporate management-speak.
Above: Arsene Wenger - is he about to turn into a butterfly?
Bookmaker Stephen Malley said: “Van Gaal might think he has the edge but he’s up against some tough opponents when it comes to bizarre nonsense perpetrated by highly paid, grown men.
“He may pull his trousers down but there are young, up and coming hungry managers who are prepared to expose and brandish their genitals on the touchline if that’s what it takes to get in the top four.”
