HISTORICAL
BEACH ENCROACHMENT FIGHT GOES ON AS FIRST STRUCTURE VOLUNTARILY DISMANTLED IN HISTORICAL STREET
••
HUA HIN The voluntary dismantling of one of the restaurants accused of illegally encroaching on beach land at the northern end of Naresdamri Road may be taken as a sign that the resistance to this measure is weakening, but the remaining businesses have vowed to battle on, with their claims of both the historical importance and of being a tourist attraction drawing some support from tourists and locals alike. Clearly the owners of the Saeng Thai Seafood Restaurant, one of the largest in that area, felt that resistance was futile, and the restaurant has now completely gone after a couple of weeks dismantling and salvaging the materials, presumably to be used in a new location. However, while there are a number of empty smaller units on that street, there is a hard core of businesses taking their fight as far as they can. Forty buildings on that stretch have been served eviction notices, under sections 40 and 42 of the Buildings Act, and the 45 days notice which ran from December 20th has noe expired. The remaining owners and businesses have petitioned a provincial appeal committee headed by the governer, and if this fails, they have been told by Mayor Nopporn Wutthikul that their final resort is the Administrative Court. Very little has been said about the plans for the area should the evictions be upheld, and while a tasteful and well designed beach promenade would be a lovely addition to Hua Hin, the concern for many is that this will not materialise, as well as the loss of what is already part of the character of the town, that makes it unlike any other beach resort in Thailand. There are also some voices raising concern over the legality of the evictions, as claims are being made that the disputed land was gifted to ordinary people many years ago, and this may be the legal thread that their hopes are hanging by. In the meantime we would suggest that readers head down to the area and take the chance to have a meal over the sea for what could be the last time.

Neal’s, ‘Down-Easters’, 1833: alliterative ‘k’ sound and that’s doubtless A collection of things. “I know a feller ‘twould whip the whool why it has outlasted the others, which are The words kit and caboodle have rather boodle of ‘em an’ give ‘em six.” now all fallen out of use. similar meanings. What we can’t confirm is that the word A kit - is set of objects, as in a toolkit, or From Bangor Daily Whig And Courier, caboodle migrated from boodle in order what a soldier would put in his kit-bag. Maine, 1839: “A whole squad have got to to sound better when matched with kit. A caboodle (or boodle) - is an archaic permit to see you. It is possible that that’s what happened, term meaning group or collection, Who are they? but the dates of the known citations usually of people. don’t support it. Whole kit and caboodle, I don’t know, a whole boodle of them.” There are several phrases similar to the (1884) is recorded before whole kit and whole kit and caboodle, which is first - The whole caboodle boodle, (1888) and whole caboodle recorded in that form in 1884. Most of From the Ohio State Journal, 1848: comes well before both, in 1848. Perhaps them are of US origin and all the early “The whole caboodle will act upon the that’s just the inadequacy or either citations are American. Caboodle was recommendation of the Ohio Sun.” records or research and that citations never in common use outside the USA with the appropriate dates will emerge and now has died out everywhere, apart Which brings us finally to the whole kit later. from its use in this phrase. and caboodle From the Syracuse Sunday Standard, Is there an English phrase - The whole kit - the whole of a soldier’s New York, Nov, 1884: necessaries, the contents of his knapsack. “More audiences have been disappointed or saying that you would From Grose’s Dictionary of the Vulgar by him and by the whole kit-and-caboodle like to know more about?

It may still be a step along the way - either unrecorded before 1888 or recorded in an, as yet, undiscovered work. This piece, titled ‘The Origin of Boodle’, is from The Dunkirk ObserverJournal, New York, September 1888: “It is probably derived from the OldEnglish word bottel, a bunch or a bundle, as a bottel of straw. “The whole kit and boodle of them” is a New England expression in common use, and the word in this sense means the whole lot. Latterly, boodle has come to be somewhat synonymous with the word pile, the term in use at the gaming table, and signifying a quantity of money. In the gaming sense, when a man has “lost his boodle”, he has lost his pile or whole lot of money, whatever amount he happened to have with him.” - The whole kit and boiling (or bilin’) Sinclair Lewis, in ‘Main Street’, 1920: “... and some of these college professors are just about as bad, the whole kit and bilin’ of ‘em are nothing in God’s world but socialism in disguise!”

UK Woman banned from knocking on people’s doors You may have played knock-down ginger (or knock-a-doorrun depending where you’re from), but it’s not likely you’ll have been this bad at it. A woman has been given a suspended two-month jail term by a judge after breaching an order barring her from knocking on neighbours’ doors. Claire Bowden had been ordered to stop ‘persistently knocking’ on doors and ringing doorbells near her home in Shifnal, Shropshire. A judge has decided that she breached the order after analysing evidence at a hearing at Telford County Court. Detail has emerged in documentation released by court staff.

UK ‘Most stopped’ man in Britain pulled aside 42 times in three years A father-of-three thinks he’s the most stopped man in Britain after being pulled aside at airports 42 times in just under three years. Ahmed Ali has started showing up early at airports in preparation for being questioned by immigration officials and has trouble getting picked up because he doesn’t know how long he’ll be. The 40-year-old from Derby believes he is a victim of profiling after being stopped at Birmingham, Manchester, Luton, London Heathrow and Stansted airports. The building developer travels regularly as a volunteer for
To Khao Takiab Centre charity Unite 4 Humanity and posted a video on Facebook after he was most recently stopped at Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport. In the latest incident he was pulled aside by immigration officials who wanted to check his passport and then see another form of identification, which the charity volunteer was able to provide. However, he claims he was refused permission to board the flight by Ryanair officials and said staff at the airport wouldn’t talk to him unless he spoke in French. He was forced to buy a ticket to travel the next day. ‘I have no problems with the immigration as they were trying to be quick as possible but Ryanair were told that I was taken to one side yet still would not let me board,’ he said. Speaking about the amount of times he has been stopped, the 40-year-old said he is actually becoming used to it. ‘My solicitor thinks I am the most stopped man in the country,’ he said. ‘He believes it is profiling but I don’t understand why it always seem to be me.’ He claims he has not only been stopped but also removed from flights, including on one occasion when his wife was pregnant. Another time he said he was questioned before for up to five hours. ‘Some are worse than others,’ he said. ‘I was stopped at one of those airports twice just weeks apart and I told them they had done the exact same thing to me ‘The same questions and I give the exact same answers. It was only when I told them about the officer who saw me the last time that they found him and let me go.

KEYBOARD WARRIORS Most countries around the world have various customs and practices surrounding engagements, weddings and marriages, and Thailand is no exception. One practice that deeply divides the expat community here though is the issue of the dowry, or Sin Sod as it is called in Thai. The idea behind this deeply rooted custom is that it is a way of honouring your bride’s parents for raising their daughter well. This is also a way of showing that you are financially capable of taking care of your Thai bride throughout your married life, because her parents tend to consider financial security as basis for the marriage. ‘Investing’ in your bride shows her family that you are serious, hardworking, and there to stay. While it is often regarded as part of the dowry, there is actually a separate offering of gold called Tong Mun (also referred to as Khong Man), which literally means ‘gold engagement’, and as the name suggests is given before the wedding or at an engagement party or ceremony. The actual amounts of gold and cash given are negotiated ahead of time, and are based on the bride-to-be’s status, education, occupation and other related social background information (such as her virginity). An average middle-class, universityeducated Thai lady may get a dowry of between 100,000 to 300,000 baht. A dowry of a million baht for an uneducated lady of modest means is just ridiculous. Thai dowry prices fall drastically if your bride-to-be has been previously married, already has children, or is not a virgin anymore. In fact in most of these instances, no dowry deserves to be paid. The amount of gold is normally set in weight, confusingly also called baht - 1 Baht is equal to 15.244 grams in raw bullion form or 15.16 grams when it sold as jewellery. The gold should always be 24 karat jewellery, and generally the more given, the better. Gold shops display the price per baht of gold, and the jewellery is usually weighed in front of you when you are buying. Many Westerners are horrified at the idea of ‘paying’ the family to get married, but often everything that has been given will be returned to the newly weds, and a portion used to pay for the wedding. In some other countries, it is a tradition for the bride’s parents to pay for the wedding of course. Traditional Thai weddings are an all day and often all night affair, beginning at sunrise, and have a variety of traditions and customs that the foreigner will normally be guided through; they are memorable affairs, although they can also leave the happy couple completely drained, with seemingly endless photos being taken, long periods of Buddhist chanting from the monks that attend, and for the foreigners in particular, sitting and kneeling on the floor for what can seem like an eternity! There isn’t enough room in this week’s column to go through the common procedures undergone at these weddings, and these also vary considerably depending on the area where the bride hails from, but generally they take place at the bride’s parents house when possible. We will cover this in a future column.

TROUBLE BREWING Few UK Royals court controversy to the same extent as Prince Charles. Many people don’t even want him to become King, and would much prefer to see his son William take over when the time comes. Let’s face it HRH has had a lifetime of waiting in the wings for the top job, and has filled that time by pontificating on a variety of subjects from global warming to modern architecture, and bombarding the government with his thoughts and ideas. Yes he has done good things as well, like establishing the Princes’ Trust, although that habit of talking to trees is quite worrying. Last weekend a media article expressed concern over his loosely veiled criticism of a certain World leader, and not without justification, because our monarchy should be impartial, apolitical, and diplomatic. Apart from attracting tourism and rubber stamping new laws that is their job. But now there is another bee in his coronet. Recycling bins in bathrooms. An idea proposed by a think tank of big businesses brought together by HRH to find ways of protecting our environment from plastic. Of course we realise the damage being done to our seas and marine life by non degradable rubbish which is flushed away. We also have more items to dispose of than we did a few decades ago, like wet wipes, cotton buds, disposable nappys etc. And most people already keep a waste bin in their bathrooms to cope with such items. But now it seems we are going to be told that we need two bathroom bins, with one for plastic. The Chief Executive of Prince Charles’ business think tank is so enthused with the idea that she plans to give all her friends a bathroom recycling bin. Thankfully I don’t know the woman. Nor do I know many people whose bathrooms are big enough to house more than one bin, or who can’t manage to carry a cotton bud/empty shampoo bottle or whatever to their kitchen bin(s). Thailands’ General Prayuth is a man who knows all about toilets and what shouldn’t go into them. In his efforts to put the lid on home brewing he has cited hygiene and safety as reasons for not trying it at home, telling people that they can’t brew craft beers in the back of their shops and houses, or in their toilets. That man certainly understands the lengths to which his people will go for an illegal tipple, along with a healthy concern for the safety of his treasury coffers. Back to plastic and the eco fashion show ‘At Heart for the Ocean’ which runs from the 14th to the 19th this month at the
Bangkok Art and Culture Centre. I have always thought that Thai people are very good at finding novel ways to use waste materials. Making paper from pineapple plant leaves has been a winner, and no tourist should go home without one of those tin can tuk tuks. And I’m sure there will be some bright ideas featured in the new show. But the dress made from those big stripey plastic bags really doesn’t look comfortable at all does it? In any case those bags don’t wear out, I have used one in my kitchen for recycleables for years. If finding new uses for them is really becoming an issue maybe they would come in handy for brewing?.

UK ARSENAL manager Arsene Wenger and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn are to trade roles in a bid to transform the fortunes of their respective teams. The year-long experiment will see Corbyn don Wenger’s ‘very hungry caterpillar’ anorak in the Arsenal dugout, while Wenger will grow a beard to face Theresa May across the despatch box. A Labour spokesman said: “Mr Wenger has already pledged that Labour will finish in the top four of every by-election while he is in charge. “He also plans to bring in a number of European politicians into the party who will be ideally suited to travel up to Stoke or Burnley on a cold February weekday night and perform fantastically well, so long as they are wearing gloves.” Meanwhile Jeremy Corbyn said: “I feel it’s high time Arsenal broke links with their fat cat corporate backers and returned to their 19th century roots in Woolwich.
Left: Corbyn and Wenger puzzle over which is the more poisonous chalice - Leader of the Labour Party or Manager of Arsenal F.C.? “If Arsenal relocated from the Emirates Stadium to their original home of Plumstead Common, with jumpers for goalposts and laced footballs, they would regain the sense of purpose they
lost under New Arsenal from the 1920s onwards. “Supporters would pour out in their droves, believe me.”
