EDITOR’S

NOTE

P

olo represents the pinnacle of sport and is arguably the oldest recorded team sport in history. Persia is where the first matches were noted, over 2,500 years ago. The sport became the most noble of pastimes by Kings, Emperors, Shahs, Sultans, Khans and Caliphs. It was for this reason it became known across the lands as “The Game of Kings”.

On April 9th, after a two- year hiatus, The Game Of King’s returned to Hua Hin, for the 11th running with The InterContinental-B.Grimm Beach Polo 2022. As always, the event took place on the beach in front of the InterContinental Hua Hin Resort with proceeds from the charitable event going to the Nabha Foundation under the patronage of HRH Princess Bajrakitiyabha. Dig out your chaps and polo boots and turn to page 40 to see what you missed and why it should be on next year’s social calendar.

The company thrived and in 2016, they ushered in an entirely new era in transportation with their Vision Jet – the world’s first single-engine Personal Jet. The Cirrus Aircraft Vision Jet excels in performance while being simple to fly and easy to own and operate. Dig out your pilot’s license and turn to page 20 to see why you should consider a personal jet.

The last two years of Covid have been devastating for most businesses. Some businesses however excelled, especially those that allowed people to go on personal private holidays, minus the crowds.

Boat and motorhome manufacturers found their order books filled. People who hadn’t entertained owning a boat pre-covid, were now seriously looking at purchasing a watercraft.

The largest airplane manufacturer in the world got its start in a red barn.

The barn was built in 1909, just six years after the Wright - Brothers’ first controlled flight, as part of Edward Heath’s shipyard on the Duwamish River in Seattle Washington.

William Boeing bought the shipyard and building a year later, as a place to complete work on his yacht. That same year Boeing attended one of the first American air meets in Los Angeles and became fascinated with aviation. By 1916, his focus had shifted to the air and the world was changed.

Fast forward to 1984 for another barn/aircraft story. In this year, Dale and Alan Klapmeier took over the family’s barn in Baraboo Wisconsin to begin work on what later would become Cirrus Aircraft, developing the Cirrus VK-30 as a homebuilt airplane.

It may appear to be a simple task, you pick a boat, pay for it, and cruise away. However, many buyers are unaware of all the nuances of purchasing their own craft, one that suits their taste, budget, and needs. Dig out your deck shoes and turn to page 60 as we go through everything you’ll want to consider when purchasing your first yacht.

Just a few of the stories you’ll find inside this month’s issue. We hope you enjoy the read.

n a red barn was born the largest airplane manufacturer in the world. The barn was built in 1909, just six years after the Wright Brothers’ first controlled flight, as part of Edward Heath’s shipyard on the Duwamish River in Seattle Washington.

William Boeing bought the shipyard and building a year later, as a place to complete work on his yacht. That same year Boeing attended one of the

20

HOT Magazine

first American air meets in Los Angeles and became fascinated with aviation.

By 1916, his focus had shifted to the air. Boeing’s new business venture, Pacific Aero Products Company, soon constructed its first airplane, the 1916 Boeing and Westervelt aircraft, the B&W. One year later, the company became the Boeing Aircraft Company and employed 28 people such as pilots, carpenters, boat builders and seamstresses.

Fast forward to 1984 for another barn/aircraft story. In this year, Dale and Alan Klapmeier took over the family’s barn in Baraboo Wisconsin to begin work on what later would become Cirrus Aircraft, developing the Cirrus VK-30 as a homebuilt airplane.

The VK 30 celebrated its first flight in 1988 and the company started delivering kits to customers. Demand grew and in 1994 Cirrus Aircraft expanded into a 30,000 square foot Research and

Development facility in Duluth Minnesota and shortly thereafter opened a composite production facility in Grand Forks North Dakota.

In the mid-1990’s, Cirrus launched the SR20 – a single-piston composite airplane that changed the world of general aviation. They then went on to manufacture two more propeller airplanes, the SR22 & the SR22T. In 2016, the company ushered in an entirely new era in transportation

with their Vision Jet – the world’s first single-engine Personal Jet. The Cirrus Aircraft Vision Jet excels in performance while being simple to fly and easy to own and operate, where jet speed, jet comfort and jet convenience are all accessible.

As a Vision Jet owner your life becomes measured in moments. Closing a business deal 500 miles away and making it home in time for dinner. Enjoying a spontaneous weekend away on

a whim. Flying high above the inconveniences of daily traffic in the height of innovation, safety and comfort. The Cirrus Life™ erases boundaries. Home becomes more than where you rest your head every night. It becomes the people and places you love, no matter where they are, because getting there is just a short flight away in your Vision Jet. Discovering how personal aviation can transform your life is where The Cirrus Life begins.

Designed around the largest cabin in its class, the unique carbon fiber fuselage creates spaciousness, with unexpected head and shoulder room. Panoramic windows create an immersive experience and modular seating adds versatility to the cabin, accommodating up to five adults and two children.

The Vision Jet comes with industry-leading features and convenience including the Perspective Touch+™ by Garmin® flight deck, and Gogo® Inflight WiFi and an entertainment center to enhance the cabin experience, adding comfort and productivity.

At the center of the pilot experience is Perspective Touch+ which integrates the sophisticated flight systems into one intuitive interface allowing for increased situational awareness. The jet’s autothrottle, allows you to program an entire flight profile, including climbs and descents resulting in a level of enhanced automation never before seen in a Personal Jet. Safety is another area where the Vision Jet excels. Available for the first time, the Safe Return™ emergency autoland system joins an array of revolutionary safety systems, including the Collier award-winning Cirrus Airframe Parachute System® (CAPS®), designed to protect the pilot and passengers.

HOT Magazine

With the company’s newly released Vision Jet Generation 2+, the Williams FJ33-5A engine has been finely tuned with an expanded flight envelope and the newly optimized thrust broadens your range, with access to more airports and weather conditions. The elevated performance allows you to carry more and enjoy added reassurance for take-off in hot temperatures or high elevations. And with Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM) capability, your Vision Jet can efficiently navigate higher flight levels.

The G2+ Vision Jet includes optimized take-off performance, with an increase of up to 20%, giving you: access to shorter runways, increased useful load for fuel and/or passengers, increased initial climb performance, improved safety margins on take-off.

According to Zean Nielsen, CEO at Cirrus Aircraft, “The enhancements to both the take-off performance capabilities in hot and high conditions and the InFlight WiFi connected passenger experience ensure that the Vision Jet continues to exceed the evolving needs of our owners, both present and future.

This aircraft is one more revolutionary advance in personal aviation, made possible by the world-class team at Cirrus Aircraft.”

The Vision Jet experienced further evolution with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and, most recently, European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), certification for their Safe Return Emergency Autoland–a revolutionary system that allows passengers to land their Vision Jet with just the touch of a button in emergency situations.

With the award-winning combination of Safe Return and CAPS, the Vision Jet provides the most comprehensive, must-have total safety solution in general aviation. The company also announced VisionAir™, a revolutionary ownership program for the Vision Jet. Designed as a completely turnkey program, VisionAir includes everything needed to own, operate and manage a Vision Jet –making the reality of owning the world’s first Personal Jet more accessible than ever. The worldwide fleet currently includes more than 265 Vision Jets. Deliveries for the G2+ Vision Jet began in August 2021. www.cirrusaircraft.com/visionjet.

Bangkok born and well-established Hua Hin resident Kate Durongpongkasem honed her hospitality skills in the US before returning to help manage her sister’s popular Hua Hin dental business. But the hospitality industry never leaves the blood, so Flavours was born with business partner Jamie

Knight. To complete the Flavours team, Thai national Chef Lionel brings his significant European (Lausanne in Switzerland) experience to the team.

is the ideal starting point for any visit with classic cocktails, quality wine plus imported and local beers on tap. Contemporary background music added to the ambience during our visit, while live music is available evenings.

Our Flavours food journey began with these starters. A Sea Trilogy Tartare presented as three cylindershaped mounds of fresh diced seafood.

One was finely cubed fresh tuna with hints of sesame oil, another delicately cut seabass with touches of sweet red pepper, and then salmon with lemon and herbaceous dill oil. All delicately decorated with micro herbs and edible blossoms.

Next, a trip straight to a Spanish beachside chiringuito for the Garlicky Shrimp & Chorizo. As the name sug-

gests, plump prawns and rounds of paprika rich chorizo sauteed in oil and garlic. And to ensure that none of the sauce remains, slices of crunchy garlic bread on the side. A definite crowdpleaser. And finally, Avocado Crab Salad – plentiful meaty crab pieces atop lime-fresh diced avocado, rocket, and a pomegranate dressing with salmon roe. A happy marriage of flavours.

Main course dishes included Pan-Fried Seabass and Summer Veggies. Crispy skinned seabass filet with perfect flaky flesh perched upon a medley of artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomato, zucchini and petit potato balls accompanied by fresh oregano oil. Pork Tenderloin Medallions with Creamy Mushroom Sauce came with a hearty helping of herby green potato mash, oven-baked baby carrots and cherry tomatoes. Classic cookery perfectly executed.

A bountiful bowl of Shrimp and Salmon on a Seafood Bisque Pasta rounded out our mains. The deep rich seafood flavours of the bisque with a touch of cream made for the perfect pasta sauce, and the dish as is would have been very pleasing. Yet, the lavish addition of straight-from-the-pan salmon pieces and plump prawns with two fingers of crisp garlic bread rounded out this bowl of deliciousness.

Sweet treats are a must, at least in the minds of the Let’s Eat team, so we could not let the opportunity for desserts slip by. Flavours’ menu provides an appealing selection of seven dishes, with some enticing titles for extra temptation. Stanislaus The Drunkard, for example, is rum baba - a lovely yeastrisen cake, often studded with dried fruit and soaked in a rum syrup. Chef Lionel serves his topped with pipings of whipped cream, sliced fresh fruit, berries and some additional rum syrup on the side.

HOT Magazine

31

Grand Marnier Crème Brulee - the title alone and the promise of brandy orange liqueur flavoured soft-set warm creamy custard with the caramelly burnt sugar crust on top is enough to order this dessert. So we did, and it lived up to expectations. The fresh fruit on the side helped to (slightly) dimmish our guilt. Chef Lionel combined two of our personal favourites in his Dark Chocolate Mousse & Salted Butter Caramel for our final dessert. Be sure to dig through the layers to get both on your spoon. You will thank Chef Lionel (and us).

Flavours Restaurant & Bar operates six days a week from 12 noon to late, closing every Wednesday. Happy Hour happens from 12 to 5:00 pm daily. Their “Light Fare” section of the menu has some great options for a snack while enjoying a refreshing beverage.

32

HOT Magazine

Several more substantive dishes on the “Light Fare” page could be great lunch options. Owner Kate tells us that the Greek Lamb Meatballs served with bread, feta and olives has already become much requested, as have the two burgers on the menu. In fact, the Southwestern Beef Burger is currently available as a lunch special and comes with a local draft beer.

Flavours Restaurant & Bar can easily accommodate groups for get-togethers, small drinks events, group or family dinners, and special celebrations. Their comprehensive menu means that you can regularly visit as you work your way through the variety and selection on offer.

The InterContinental-B.Grimm Beach Polo 2022

HOT Magazine

P

olo represents the pinnacle of sport and is arguably the oldest recorded team sport in known history. Persia is where the first matches were noted, over 2,500 years originating as a training method for the King’s elite cavalry.

The sport became the most noble of pastimes by the Kings and Emperors, Shahs and Sultans, Khans and Caliphs of the ancient Persians, Arabs, Mughals, Mongols and Chinese. It was for this reason it became known across the lands as “The Game Of Kings”.

On April 9th, after a two year Covid caused hiatus, The Game Of King’s returned to Hua Hin, for the 11th running. This year the event was titled “The InterContinental-B.Grimm Beach Polo 2022.” As always, the event took place on the beach in front of the InterContinental Hua Hin Resort with proceeds from the charitable event going to the Nabha Foundation under the patronage of HRH Princess Bajrakitiyabha.

As in years past, the event was organized by His Excellency Mr. Suwat Liptapanlop, Former Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand & president of the tournament’s management adviser.

One of Hua Hin’s biggest boosters, Khun Suwat said, “Aside from promoting Thai polo sport to the world stage, this tournament will help publicize Hua Hin and Thailand as a major tourist destination. One of the other objectives of the event is charity, with crafts made by inmates and the painting from The Gallery Hua Hin presented

by Bangchak, painted by Ajarn Thawee Kesa-ngam, director of the Hua Hin Artist House, being auctioned.”

The other organizer of the event was Mr. Harald Link, chairman of the tournament and President of both the B.Grimm Group and the Equestrian Association of Thailand. According to Harald, “The event demonstrates the country’s potential in hosting an international-scale polo tournament.”

This year saw teams from Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia competing.

“The unique challenge of the beach polo event is to calculate and monitor the tide times each year in order to determine the right time when the tide has receded to an appropriate level for the competition. “Furthermore, the polo ball has been changed so that is made from rubber similar to a soccer ball and being smaller in size instead of regular polo balls. “But rules of competition according to international standards are still applied,” Dr Link, the pioneer of beach polo in Thailand, noted.

The international sporting event has always been staged in Hua Hin because the resort city offers beautiful scenery and charm associated with horse riding along the beach, one of the important characteristics of Hua Hin. Furthermore, the beach in Hua Hin is wide enough to accommodate the tournament and polo is a popular sport among celebrities, thus making the city the only place in Thailand best suited for holding the event.

Ms. Proudputh Liptapanlop, Executive Director of Proud Group, was also in attendance and was quoted as saying, “InterContinental Hua Hin Resort is delighted to jointly host the tournament for 11 years. “The beach in front of our hotel is ample and ideal for holding the tournament and there are various 5-star facilities in place to support the event. There are more than 159 rooms in the Beach Wing, the beachfront and the Bluport Wing that can easily connect to the Bluport shopping centre. The hotel is also pet friendly, complete with eight restaurants and bars, an outdoor pool, fitness centre, kids club, spa services and conference rooms.”

For many Hua Hin residents, the Asian Beach Polo Championship has become a tradition and is one of the highlights of Hua Hin’s social scene.

It is also a very popular happening for Bangkok’s High Society crowd with plenty of the rich and famous in attendance, including Khun Nunthenee Tanner, M.D. of LBG Limited, and regarded as Thailand’s first female polo player.

The day held to its normal schedule with gates opening at 12:30 to pick up gifts, enjoy welcome drinks, lunch, shopping, games, and plenty of socializing between friends, new and old. At two pm the grand parade took place with a marching band & a procession

of horses mounted by flag carrying riders that ended in front of the InterContinental Hua Hin. This was followed by the opening speeches by Mr. Suwat Liptapanlop and Mr. Harald Link.

It was then time for the traditional Fashion Show on Horseback, with plenty of Thailand’s glitterati showing their good fashion sense on mounted steed. Horse racing was next with the energy of the crowd ramped up high. Two races, with approximately 12 horses in each race, galloped at full speed in front of the crowd in hopes of winning a trophy, cash and bragging rights for the year.

And then, the main event. Many of the Chukka’s, polo speak for periods, were held the previous day due to time constraints. For the final there were two Chukkas each with Singapore besting Malaysia 6 goals to 4 and Thailand besting Hong Kong, also six goals to four.

For the fans in attendance, it was a lot of high speed, fast-paced, nailbiting action. The large, muscled horses displayed extreme speed and swift dexterity as their riders maneuvered the polo ball with their mallet towards the goal.

Overall scoring put Thailand on top, followed by Hong Kong, Singapore & Malaysia. MVP for the InterContinental-B.Grimm Beach Polo 2022 was Claude Haberer.

After the awards ceremony it was time to leave the beach for the grounds of the InterContinental Hua Hin Resort where the tropical Havana themed Dinner Party took place. Guests were entertained by the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra who performed Broadway Hits. Rounding out the evening was an art auction.

Representing the Nabha Foundation was its Vice President, Mr. Ekaphop Detkriangkraisorn. The Nabha Foundation provides opportunities to former inmates, the underprivileged and disabled people who unfortunately comprise a relatively large number in today’s society. According to Mr. Ekaphop “We strongly believe that if they are given the opportunity to develop their skills and proving their potential, they will be able to live in the society normally and benefit the society.”

erviced apartments have become a popular choice globally for leisure and business travellers. Unlike hotel rooms, you enjoy a bigger living space, a kitchen, a fully furnished living area, and a bedroom. They are an excellent choice for families, when you need to host some guests, or when you need extra space to lounge in and enjoy the comfort of a homestay experience.

Shama Lakeview Asoke is a serviced apartment set in the heart of Bangkok’s Central Business District. Within a 10-minute walk you’ll find the Asoke BTS skytrain, and the Sukhumvit MRT subway station, along with shopping malls, schools, embassies, banks and the trendy EM District.

Shama Lakeview Asoke is tailored for both business and leisure travellers on short or longer stays. Their accommodation options range from Studio suites to spacious Three-bedroom apartments overlooking the lake or stunning city skyline.

Studio suites include Studio, Studio Deluxe and Studio Lakeview, and range from 43 to 52 sqm’s.

The much talked about Benjakitti Forest Park is just a 10-minute walk from the property. With its recent 120-acre expansion, the park is bigger than Lumphini Park and both parks are connected with the “green mile”, which is also being remodeled. It’s a dream come true for all nature lovers and the ones loving outdoor exercise, offering a plethora of winding walking trails & bike lanes.

Spanning just over a mile, the park’s skywalk is arguably its best feature.

The elevated view of the variety of sprouting trees, flowers and wetlands creates a serene space with a skyscraper backdrop, ideal for early-morning or late-afternoon exercise sessions. When the entire expansion officially opens in August 2022, the skywalk will lead to various sites, including a museum, amphitheater, sports building and a mangrove forest.

With an unparalleled location, elegant apartments and impeccable service, Shama Lakeview Asoke in Bangkok personifies urban living and is a wonderful spot to call home on your next visit to the Big Mango.

Your First Yacht –

A Few Things to Consider

60

HOT Magazine

A

re you looking to experience memorable journeys through calm pristine waters and go on your best private vacations in your own vessel? If so, it might be a sign from the stars above for you to purchase your very own yacht.

It may appear to be a simple task to accomplish at first. You pick a yacht, pay for it, and cruise away. However, many buyers are unaware of all the nuances of purchasing their own boat, one that suits their taste, budget, and needs.

First things first, the most crucial part of preparing to purchase a boat is making sure you have a place to dock it. In some areas, finding a marina or harbour to dock your vessel can be challenging.

If your marina is in high demand, it is worthwhile to ascertain how long it typically takes to obtain a dock space for your new jewel, even if your yacht has not been purchased yet. This step may appear to be out of place, but it is not. Finding the perfect dock space will be the determining factor of whether you will have a good experience owning a yacht or not.

Now that you have a space for your potential vessel, it is time to decide which category suits your needs and desires. Before purchasing it, you should think about how and where you plan to use your boat regularly.

Furthermore, you should know that there are advantages and disadvantages to every type of yacht.

A monohull may be ideal in some situations but not in others. When shopping for a catamaran to cruise the shallow seas of a tropical island, you won’t have the exact requirements as someone trying to cross the Atlantic.

Purchase a yacht that is appropriate for the type of adventures you want to go on as well as the destinations you intend to explore in your future journeys.

You can always charter a more suitable yacht for any additional activities that your boat is not equipped to handle on its own.

HOT Magazine

Everyone desires a yacht that will satisfy both their needs and taste.

Whether warranted or not, aesthetics plays a significant role in restricting your choices when purchasing your first yacht. Numerous yachts are unique, with profile and deck lines and interiors designed by renowned designers and architects and shipyards.

However, whatever yacht style you choose, keep in mind that your dock neighbour, or friends, will desire a bigger, more attractive vessel than you and vice versa. The world of yacht owners is a competitive one. There are many types of yachts you can choose from.

Traditional sailboats, spacious and safe catamarans, elegant motor yachts, and ultimately superyachts, megayachts, & gigayachts for the ultimate elite experience. While some styles will never go out of style, others may, so it is important to consider a design that is timeless and could easily resell in future, when upgrading to your next vessel.

It is also vital to understand the comfort you desire. This is because the size and equipment of your yacht are directly tied to how comfortable you will be on board. Furthermore, you may require a crew to help you navigate and run the vessel, especially if you have no sailing or maritime experience.

HOT Magazine

63

A smaller boat will save you money in the long run, but you will have fewer options when it comes to amenities, space, and the ability to hire a crew.

Another option is to go larger, which could result in an extremely comfortable yacht, but you’ll need a professional crew to operate it. This raises the overall cost of ownership and maintenance costs. Getting a commodious yacht comes with a cost.

Yachting, as enjoyable as it is, can be a pricey pastime. As crucial as it is to know the price of your yacht, it’s also critical to understand how much additional fees you’ll accrue over time.

Maintenance, repairs, insurance, and mooring are all necessities for a boat.

If you will need a crew, these costs can quickly rise as a result of the size of the yachts involved.

As long as you know what type of boat to look for, what aesthetics you want, what comfort and performance standards you have in mind, and how much money you have to spend, then you are more than ready to buy your first yacht.
