foreigners and thais - is the love affair ending in hua hin?
hua hin, THAILAND It is a well known phenomenon that once a previously quiet place gets ‘discovered’ by outsiders and becomes a frequent tourist spot that the locals within time get jaded with their visitors, and also over time those visitors start to feel less welcome and encounter poor service and attitudes and even positive hostility. Whether it is the time of year, the weather, the financial climate or indeed the phenomenon described above, it is becoming evident that whatever honeymoon period existed between the locals of Hua Hin and it’s foreign visitors and residents is coming to an end. The expat forums are filled more than ever with stories of rip offs, poor service and general tales of woe, and many of the long term expats are calling it a day on Hua Hin (and Thailand). A common thread amongst expat comments is that it appears as though many Thais they encounter simply don’t care or have little consideration of the impact their actions have upon others, whether exhibited in relationships or more run of the mill matters like driving or business. However it is also the case that tourists and expats are becoming less careful in what they do or say when visiting foreign countries, as evidenced by the recent ‘naked on a mountain’ problem in Malaysia; in the past in Thailand locals would give the benefit of the doubt when cultural faux pas were committed but now there appears to be less tolerance to more frequent offences. Hua Hin will surely attract more and more visitors as the years go by, but it would be a good thing for both locals and visitors to show greater respect to each other than has been observed in recent times, for all our sakes.

A section for all you budding etymologists where each week the origin of a word or phrase is investigated. This week it is..... Go to pot Become ruined. When hippies took to smoking cannabis in the 1960/70s, one of the more common of the myriad terms for the drug was ‘pot’. The derivation of that term is disputed. It was stated in American Speech, as early as 1936, that the word derives from the Spanish word for marijuana potiguaya. Others have questioned that, saying that there is no such word in Spanish. That aside, journalists of the day couldn’t resist the ‘gone to pot’ label; for example, this piece by John Brewer, in the California newspaper The Independent, June 1970:
dialoge, 1530:
“I can get marijuana faster than I can get a text at the bookstore,” says a UCLA graduate student. College students, it seems, have gone to pot.
That meaning alludes to the fact that the journey of an animal or ingredient to the pot was a one-way trip, with a very short future ahead.
Of course, people had been going to pot long before then. That was in the sense of ‘going to (the) pot’, that is, being chopped up and boiled for food. That usage dates back at least as far as the 16th century; for example, in William Tindale’s An answere vnto Sir Thomas Mores
Is there an English phrase or saying that you would like to know more about? Email it to us on submissions@awolonline.net
Then goeth a part of ye little flocke to pot, and the rest scatter. The colloquial, metaphorical usage of ‘ruin; destruction’ is fairly old too and was in common use by the 17th century. Edmund Hickeringill used the term in The History of Whiggism, 1682: Poor Thorp, Lord Chief Justice, went to Pot, in plain English, he was Hang’d.
Are you tired, unhealthy, lacking vigour or overweight? Would you like to look and feel ten years younger?
A few months ago I joined the Unicity Program, not because I am a health freak (on the contrary, I love all the ‘bad’ stuff and still do) but because after trying their products I was healthier, happier, more vigorous and lost weight! Joining the Unicity Family has also enabled me to earn good money while also helping friends get the same benefits I have. A monthly income of ฿100,000 is easily achievable by building your own team, and over a thousand people are now millionaires, simply by offering health products that help people to a better, healthier life. Right now though, I have two special offers to help you look and feel better; ฿4,200 Offer 1: 4 week Interior Cleaning program Offer 2: 20 day Guaranteed weight loss program ฿7,940 (both offers include products, instructions and further information about Unicity) (If you suffer from diabetes, asthma, high cholesterol or high blood pressure, the interior cleaning program will greatly benefit your health.)

Pisces Feb 19 – Mar 20 Though you’ve been trying to find yourself for decades, you’ll be dis appointed to tears when you find yourself living in Flagstaff and working at a screen-door factory. ARIES Mar 21 - Apr 20 Your death next week will seem inexplicable until people remember the ill-advised 1985 “cross your heart and hope to die” pledge you made to be best friends with Jenny Bosben.
Taurus Apr 21 – May 21 Your fear of public speaking won’t be helped by your habit of saying things that make large groups of people want to attack you. Gemini May 22 – June 21 The appearance of a tall dark stranger in your life will lead to a time of mystery and intrigue as you and he discuss the real meanings of the words “dark,” “stranger,” and even “tall.” Cancer Jun 22 – Jul 22 Love has always meant different things to different people, but for God’s sake, at no point in human history has it ever meant that. Leo Jul 23 – Aug 22 It is written that you will wield a sword of light and unite the world under your wise and compassionate rule, but hey, when you get right down to it, lots of rubbish has been written.

Scorpio Oct 24 – Nov 21 This is a terrible time to start new phases of your life, especially those that involve eating whole frozen Pepperidge Farm chocolate cakes before they even have time to defrost. Sagittarius Nov 22 – Dec 21 Due to unusual and convoluted circumstances too involved to go into here, you’ll spend the next three years imprisoned in an aging 1960s girl group.

shipwreck A man, a sheep and a sheepdog were washed up on a beach after a shipwreck. After looking around for a day or two, he realized that they were stranded on a desert island. After being there a few weeks, he got into the habit of taking his two animal companions to the beach every evening to watch the sunset. One particular evening, the sky was a fiery red with beautiful cirrus clouds, the breeze was warm and gentle - a perfect night for romance if he only had a woman. As they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to the lonely man. Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around it. The ever-protective sheepdog, growled fiercely until the man took his arm from around the sheep. After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together, but there was no more cuddling. A few weeks passed-by and, lo and behold, there was another shipwreck. Incredibly the only survivor was Nicola Sturgeon. That evening, the man took Nicola to the evening beach with the sheep and sheep dog. It was another beautiful evening - red sky cirrus clouds, a warm and gentle breeze - perfect for a night of romance. Pretty soon, the man started to get those feelings again. He fought the urges as long as he could but he finally gave in and leaned over to Nicola and told her he hadn’t had sex for months. Nicola batted her eyelashes and asked if there was anything she could do for him? He said, ‘Yes of course there is. Can you take the dog for a walk?’ monkees I thought my wife was joking when she said wanted to go to a Monkees’ concert in Switzerland.

Do you like to cook?
Is cooking your hobby? Is cooking a passion? Come and join us in our new Hua Hin Hobby Cooking Members group
The cooking sessions are once a month. Each member has a chance to host the group in their home and make dinner for them. There are no guidelines as far as what to cook, as long as the meal is homemade and they provide the recipes. Costs are shared and each member brings their own drinks. My idea was to regularly gather people who have the same passion; cooking. As there are many nationalities it will be exciting to discover new food cultures and to share recipes. A cooking group is also a social event; cooking together is fun and is an opportunity to make new friends. You do not need to be a chef in order to join the group. Whatever your level of cooking is, most important is that you like cooking, are open to new ideas and are prepared to participate regularly at the members’ cooking sessions. If you are interested in receiving more information you can email me at sikkens2011@gmail.com Robert

Mags Meanderings: From Som Tam To Mushy Peas
all aboard! If you are an expat with a UK driving licence you might want to check out changes brought in by the DVLA this month. Those of you who still have the old paper licences shouldn’t be affected until you reach 70, when your licence will be due for renewal. For those who already have the photo card licence there are some things to watch out for. With effect from June 8th the paper counterpart to the photo card isn’t needed, and the DVLA is advising drivers to destroy it. Unfortunately this is expected to cause some confusion for drivers who want to rent a car abroad - or more accurately cause confusion with the car hire companies, who will have to rely on the photo card licence and DVLA database to verify information needed before thay can let you loose with a rental car. Whether this change will affect Thai car hire companies is any ones guess. With luck it won’t. Or if you have a Thai driving licence anyway it might not matter at all. But the general feeling wherever you live is to ignore the DVLA dictat and keep that counterpart. And by the way, don’t forget that the photo card licence is only valid for 10 years. Also on the theme of transport, if you despair of Thailands’ trains, avoid them altogether on the grounds of health, safety, and precarious timekeeping, or simply can’t face being in HuaLamphong station, you might want to think again. At least in the Land of Smiles it is simplicity itself to buy a train ticket. You just rock up at the station, tell the nice smiley person behind the hatch where you want to go, and (very) roughly when. The nice smiley person will tap on their computer and show you the seating plan for your train of choice. He or she will give the prices for different classes of travel experience, ranging from very comfortable 1st class seats but please turn the aircon off or fetch me another blanket, through to squattie potties and just open the window. He will highlight the available seats, take your baht, and give you a single journey ticket. No faffing around with returns, peak travel supplements, or whether or not you possess a rail card. OK, there may be times when you need to book in advance for a long distance trip involving a sleeper berth. Or perhaps if you plan to travel over any one of 17 or so bank holidays. But as a seasoned expat you are well aware of that and make allowances. Sadly the UK, considered to be a more advanced nation, and the place where railways were invented, really can’t compete with Thailand any more. There are so many privatised, franchised and competing rail operators, with a host of websites vying for your online bookings,
that the few remaining real people behind the few remaining hatches in station booking offices have lost the will to live. Or at least the one I encountered recently had. Here is the gist of our encounter: Me: ‘Hello, I’ve heard that there’s an offer on Tuesdays during August for £19 Kings Cross day returns?’ Man Behind Hatch: ‘What day do you want to travel?’ M: ‘What days are available?’ MBH: ‘I don’t know, you need to give me a date first.’ M: (gets diary out) So we ARE looking at Tuesdays only then? MBH: ‘Hmmph’ M: ‘OK, how about the 4th?’ MBH: ‘No chance’ M: ‘The 11th?’ MBH: ‘Still too early. The tickets were released yesterday and are already nearly sold out’ M: ‘The 25th would be fine.’ MBH: ‘You won’t be able to travel peak times, it’ll be the 10.30 train.’ M: ‘Yes that’s good’ Man Behind Hatch taps on his computer and announces ‘That will be £27’. M: ‘But I thought it was a £19 special offer?’ MBH: ‘Only if you return the next day.’ I didn’t book. But Hulls’ favourite politician, Lord Two Jags Prescott, will no doubt be relying heavily on the Hull to Kings Cross service for the next 6 months, having been banned for speeding on the A15. Luckily he quite enjoys travelling by train, and can claim back the fares on expenses.

wor schteve Steve McClaren develops Geordie accent during first Newcastle interview
“But fair iv silverwear wud be class, an’ ah hope ah gan delivor that fo’ these class fans at sum point in the next few yeors.” Season ticket holders have welcomed McClaren’s appointment, though response to his new accent has been mixed. Simon Williams told us, “Look, if he can win us more games than the last few bosses, then he’ll be a hero, but if he could stop sounding like some sort of Geordie caricature that’d be great.” “That said, if he gets fired at Christmas and finds himself applying for a job at Plymouth, that’s an interview I’d love to hear.”

Newly appointed Newcastle United manager Steve McClaren has delighted fans by developing a Geordie accent during his first interview. McClaren faced the press just minutes after signing a three-year contract, and outlined his plans for the sleeping giant. Answering a question in his ambitions for next year, McClaren began in his York brogue, “This is a giant club, and we have to be looking at the top half and possible European qualification.” Before slipping into a Geordie accent to add, “It wud be canny tuh leed Newcassel intee europe, an’ give the fans somethin tuh celebrate.” “Wor numbor yen priority whey aye is tuh myek sure the toon divvin’ gan doon.”
Above: The question on most fans lips is how will McLaren deal with the notoriously bad weather on Tyneside? Will it be the iconic brolly or will he opt for a plastic mac?
