local farmers face ‘the elephant in the room’
•Wild• elephants are causing increasing problems once again in parts of the Hua Hin area, as they have hua hin
been involved in several incidents with local farmers, eating and destroying their crops. One local durian farmer said that the elphants had eaten her durian crop that was worth an estimated 200,000 baht, leaving her in a serious financial predicament. Another elephant was pictured taking pineapples from a pickup truck that was taking them from Hua Hin to Kui Buri. The area where this is reported happening is Tambon Huai Sat Yai, and it is believed that this zone is now on the animals’ radar because of fencing erected to prevent similar problems in nearby Tambon Padeng. This follows reports in 2015 of elephants being aggressive towards vehicles in Khao Yai National Park, with one YouTube video of an elephant sitting on and crushing a vehicle gaining over half a million views, while a lady motorcyclist on the Hua Hin - Pala U Road was killed by a bull elephant in December 2014. The current situation, while difficult for those affected, only goes to show how careful people need to be in areas where elephants have roamed free for decades, and where previously they had the pick of the fruit they wanted, wherever and whenever they wanted it. Rather than this being an elephant problem, it is really a human problem, as we have steadily encroached on their territory. There will be no easy answer to this ‘conflict’, and we can only hope that neither elephants nor humans get harmed while one is found, either deliberately or accidentally. Wild elephants are quite unpredictable, particularly in mating season, so be careful if driving in areas where they are found.

Hua hin pickleball players compete and win at uk championships
A group of Hua Hin residents who are regular pickleball players here, travelled to the UK Pickleball Championships taking part at Medway Park in Kent last weekend, with Alison Fulton and Elaine Shallcross (below right) taking the glory by winning gold in the women’s doubles, while Alison also reached the quarter finals of the mixed doubles with her partner Bill. A total of seven Hua Hin residents (below) took part in the championships, and hopefully their success will be a tremendous boost to the popularity of the sport locally, although it has already established itself as a fun game for all ages with many locals. Well done to everyone who took part, and thank you to Mick for supplying the photos.

A section for all you budding etymologists where each week the origin of a word or phrase is investigated. example, this early citation from The Modesto News-Herald, This week it is....Beck and call To be at someone’s beck and call is to be entirely subservient to May 1929: A crowd of several hundred people heard a stirring address them; to be responsive to their slightest request. ’Call’ is used here with its usual meaning. ‘Beck’ is more by B. W. Gearhart, Fresno attorney and American Legion interesting. The word, although it has been in use in English official. “Down through the history of American wars, from the since the 14th century, isn’t one that is found outside the phrase Revolutionary to the recent World conflict,” the speaker declared, ‘beck and call’ these days. It is merely a shortened form of “America always has had at its beckon call men who would give ‘beckon’, which we do still know well and understand to mean their all for their country that people might enjoy peace and ‘to signal silently, by a nod or motion of the hand or finger, freedom. The rogue phrase still appears in print in newspapers. Here’s indicating a request or command’. If the term ‘beck and call’ had originated prior to the 14th an example from the London Daily Mirror, by Phil Differ and century we we would presumably now say ‘beckon and call’. Jonathan Watson: It didn’t though and the first recorded use of ‘beck and call’ He [football manager Dick Advocaat] told me what he was in print is in Aemilia Lanyer’s set of poems Salve Deus Rex particularly looking forward to when he comes to Scotland and that’s having the entire Scottish press at his beckon call and I Judaeorum, 1611: promised he won’t be disappointed. The Muses doe attend vpon your Throne, Just because ‘beckon call’ is based on a mishearing doesn’t With all the Artists at your becke and call; That is straightforward enough. What brings the phrase to the mean that it won’t one day become accepted as proper English. attention of etymologists is the confusion that some people Other phrases, like ‘beg the question’ for instance, are routinely have between it and ‘beckon call’. This supposed phrase is a used incorrectly by so many people that the incorrect usage simple mishearing of ‘beck and call’. The mistake comes about has now become the standard. Let’s hope ‘beckon call’ dies a because no one uses ‘beck’ any longer, whereas ‘beckon’ is natural death, not only because it is essentially just a spelling mistake but because its adoption would signal the last gasp of commonplace. ‘Beckon call’ could be said not to be a phrase in English at all, the enjoyable little word ‘beck’. but it is gaining some ground nevertheless.

the pope versus the rabbi Several centuries ago, the Pope decreed that all the Jews had to convert or leave Italy. There was a huge outcry from the Jewish community, so the Pope offered a deal. He would have a religious debate with the leader of the Jewish community. If the Jews won, they could stay in Italy, if the Pope won, they would have to leave. The Jewish people met and picked an aged, but wise Rabbi Moishe to represent them in the debate. However, as Moishe spoke no Italian, and the Pope spoke no Yiddish, they all agreed that it would be a “silent” debate. On the chosen day, the Pope and Rabbi Moishe sat opposite each other for a full minute before the Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. Rabbi Moishe looked back and raised one finger. Next, the Pope waved his finger around his head. Rabbi Moishe pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope then brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine. Rabbi Moishe pulled out an apple. With that, the Pope stood up and declared that he was beaten, that Rabbi Moishe was too clever, and that the Jews could stay. Later, the Cardinals met with the Pope, asking what had happened. The Pope said, “First, I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up one finger to remind me that there is still only one God common to both

our beliefs. Then, I waved my finger to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground to show that God was also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us of all our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of the original sin. He had me beaten and I could not continue.” Meanwhile the Jewish community was gathered around Rabbi Moishe “How did you win the debate?” they asked. “I haven’t a clue,” said Moishe. “First he said to me that we had three days to get out of Italy, so I gave him the finger. Then he tells me that the whole country would be cleared of Jews and I said to him, we’re staying right here.” “And then what?” asked a woman. “Who knows?” said Moishe, “He took out his lunch, so I took out mine.

step back in time No offence to the TAT intended, but that’s Bangkok stuffed then. With Cheap Charlie’s bar gone it’s hard to imagine the city to be worth visiting anymore! It is reported that the owners will be looking for a new place now that they have been forced to leave their scruffy little bar, which has occupied the entrance to a tiny soi off Sukhumvit soi 11 for 35 years, before the bulldozers move in. It is hard to imagine how another suitable site could be found anywhere now on that part of Sukhumvit, which has been blighted by bulldozers for the last 15 years or more between Nana Plaza and Soi Cowboy and beyond. Some of you will even remember the infamous Soi Zero. But for those who weren’t familiar with Cheap Charlies, maybe the best way to describe it was that it occupied a wall, and was a favourite haunt for expats. Bar stools wobbled on the uneven surface of the soi, and over the years the bar had acquired a large collection of artefacts, ranging from wood carvings and US registration plates to an array of phallic symbols and toys. Nothing ever seemed to have been dusted and the clutter could cause a bit of a problem when passing bottles to customers. But it was a quaint oasis to many, and will be sadly missed. While on the subject of beer sales, will the governments’ latest plan really work? It was announced that in a bid to enforce the legal hours for alcohol sales in shops, state run retail alcohol outlets will be opened this year. They will required to abide by laws which prohibit alcohol sales between midnight and 11.00 am, and from 2.00 to 5.00 pm. With the promise of one state outlet per Ampur it seems highly unlikely that they will all be
up and running by the hoped for October 1st target, but that is the least of the problems, because Thais and expats alike will only be able to use the outlet provided in the Ampur where they are registered. The plan horrified everyone who enjoys a tipple in the Land of Smiles, and protests were already being planned, until it all turned out to have been an elaborate April Fools hoax. Which proves what expats have known for years, that reality and fiction can very easily become blurred. Back to the UK, and that ongoing battle against sugar in food has now changed our Sugar Puffs forever. It’s not just that the sugar content has been slashed - to be honest they were exceptionally sweet - but now the name has changed to Honey Monster Puffs in order to project a more healthy image. Surely it won’t be long before the word ‘Puffs’ is changed as well? How about Honey Monster LGBT Cereal to comply with all current forms of political correctness. Even if the reduction in sugar levels in food helps you keep your teeth, there is now another threat to your pearly whites. Dentists at a university in Rome have found evidence of a link between how long we sleep and gum disease. It’s all to do with some bad proteins which are released when we sleep for 9 hours or more, putting us at 4 times the risk of gum disease than if we slept for only 5 hours. My 92 year old Mum, who rarely sleeps beyond 6.00 am, will be delighted to know that her gums are safe, even though there haven’t been any teeth in them for 50 years.

While the Brits don’t make much of a song and dance about it nowadays, the 2nd June is a pretty auspicious day in their history, as it was this day in 1953 that the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II took place. Now the longest reigning living monarch, this year could turn out to be one of her most difficult yet, and not just because she is due to meet the President of the USA, Donald Trump, with some commentators suggesting that her husband’s retirement from Royal duties is connected to that event.

classifieds awol classifieds have changed!
After an extensive review of our Classified advertising pricing and display, we have changed our pricing and display, with effect from 19th May. Below you will find all the details of how to place a classified advert with us, and how much it will cost. Please note that we are no longer offering free classified adverts; however, we are reducing the cost of our former ‘Premium’ adverts considerably, and applying these prices across the board. We are also introducing ‘Featured’ ads, which have extra prominence with a box around them and the option of shading behind the text.
Property Law Criminal & Civil Law Family Law Company Registration Visa & Notary Services
Contact: rita@legalserviceshuahin.com facebook.com/legalserviceshuahin Located at Makro Food services
Any advert can be made a Featured ad by either paying an additional fee, in the case of Single ads, of two additional ads, or by using up two additional ads in a subscription pack. So for a Single ad that costs 300 baht, to make this Featured will cost an additional 600 baht, making a total of 900 baht. This additional fee or use of pack ads Pricing remains the same regardless of the number of words in We now offer four pricing options that apply to any the ad. Examples of Featured ads can be seen in the ads category of advert. following this updated information. These are existing 1. Single advert (25 words or less) for 13 issues 300 baht ‘Premium’ ads that we have upgraded. 2. Basic Subscription allowing up to 12 Single ads for 13 issues each. 1200 baht Placing your ad(s) 3. Extra Subscription allowing up to 36 Single ads for 13 issues each. 2700 baht This remains largely unchanged from before; the options 4. Extra Plus Subscription allowing up to 72 Single ads of are outlined in the shaded box below. 13 issues each. 3600 baht Adverts of longer than 25 words will either require purchasing further Single ads in the case of option 1, or using more of the ads in the subscription pack. The same applies to wishing to run an advert for longer than 13 weeks/issues, and this is where the subscription packs work out as great value, as the Basic pack would allow for three ads to run for one year, or six ads to run for six months, for example. A further note on the subscription packs is that AWOL has no objection to businesses or people joining together to use a single pack between them, similar to the AWOL Bazaar.

LOCAL SPORTS hua hin city F.C
Hua Hin City F. C. is the local professional team formed in 2011, playing their matches at the Takiab Stadium in Khao Takiab. results sunday 28th may 2017 Ratchaburi B 1 - 2 Hua Hin City
Match Report: Ratchaburi Mitr Phol 1 - 2 Hua Hin City It’s monsoon season, and it was the weather that was going to resolve this important tie for Hua Hin. Riding high after last week’s rare victory, we knew that we’d have a battle on our hands with the future stars of this t1 side. The stadium was taken over by the sound of Hua Hin’s largest travelling support for 2 years. There was an exciting battle ahead. Hua Hin took control from the off in conditions that would have seen the game cancelled in Europe. The pitch was more akin to water polo than football. Actually, FIXTURES as it turned out, the conditions suited our short passing game very well, and the lads saturday 3rd june put in one of their best performances of the season. U-15 National Youth League Qualifying Totally against the run of play, Ratchaburi went ahead with a brilliant individual goal, Round which would have graced any t1 arena. Hua Hin City v Samut Sakhon 16:00 Hua Hin didn’t drop their heads, and continued their domination. After about 10 minutes our persistence was rewarded when Worrapat powered in a lovely shot from saturday 17th june 2017 the edge of the penalty area into the bottom right of the target. Hua Hin City v Nonthaburi FC 17:30 Just before half time, Panupong secured the points with a glancing header into the top left hand corner. However, the drama wasn’t over yet. thai League 4 Early in the 2nd half, Ratchapark seemed to lose his head over something. In true Western Region table Thai refereeing style, the result, which mystified everybody, saw Kritsada sent off. Team P GD PTS Hua Hin continued to dominate with only 10 men, and secured a very valuable back 1 Suphanburi B 14 +22 35 to back victory, and moved into 8th place. We’ve now entered the mid-season break, 2 Muangkan United 14 +14 32 and expect a lot of transfer activity. We’ll see you all at Takiab Stadium on 17 June, 3 Assumption United 14 +11 30 when we aim to make a hat trick of wins by beating Nonthaburi FC.

Saturday 3rd june 2017 UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - FINAL Juventus v Real Madrid 01:45 Most journalists have dubbed this the ‘full backs final’ because of the sheer brilliance of the two Brazilian players on either side, Dani Alves from Juventus, and Marcelo of Real Madrid. Both are full backs in name only, and have been more like playmakers in the numbers of assists and goals they contribute. It should be a classic final, which this year takes place in Cardiff, and it is extremely hard to pick a winner; Juve are going for a magnificent treble, while Madrid are after their third Champions League trophy in four years. We are edging towards the Italian side but that is really only because we have to pick one; with so many brilliant players on both sides, any one of them could win the trophy for their team.

uk EVERYTHING is wonderful at Arsenal and nothing whatsoever needs to change, fans have confirmed. Arsenal’s FA Cup victory at the weekend confirmed the widespread belief that everything at the club is going in the right direction and that Arsene Wenger is definitely the correct choice as manager. Gunners fan Wayne Hayes said: “The past twelve months have been great, and at absolutely no point was I preparing to march on the training ground with a pitchfork. “We’ve won a trophy, which makes us better than Spurs, and without the Champions League to distract us, we’re a sure bet for the title next year.” Season-ticket holder Susan Traherne said: “When I hired a plane to fly over the Emirates trailing a banner that said ‘Wenger out’, I may have inadvertently given the impression that I wanted him to leave.
Above: Some of the joyous Arsenal fans at the Cup Final “But it was actually supposed to say the signing of any more small, twinkle ‘Arsene outstanding’, but they ran out of toed midfielders. letters.” Hayes added that he and his fellow Gunners fans were also boosted this Gooners would be one hundred percent week as the board of directors also gave behind their club until the next time an Wenger an additional two years on his Arsenal player gave away a throw-in, contract, which apparently included a when they would resume their campaign new clause which is designed to prevent of furious booing.
