Editor’s Note

Towering majestically above the vibrant city, offering stunning views of the Bangkok skyline, you'll find Signature Bangkok, a gastronomic sanctuary under the guidance of the esteemed Chef Thierry Drapeau. Chef Thierry's exceptional skills were recognized with his first Michelin Star in 2005 in France, and a second in 2010. Today, his culinary mastery takes center stage at Signature Bangkok, a proud bearer of the prestigious Michelin Star accolade for both 2023 and 2024.

In the name of research, the HOT Magazine Let's Eat team had the enviable undertaking of savoring an indulgent 8-course meal that unfolded blissfully over the course of nearly 4 hours. Pull up a chair and turn to page 54 to see and read why you will want Chef Thierry to take you on an epicurean journey too.

Thailand is blessed with a multitude of beautiful National Parks. One not to miss is Khao Sok, a gem in the heart of southern Thailand that will leave you in awe of nature's

grand design. The ancient rainforest within the park predates even the renowned Amazon, with its origins tracing back an astounding 160 million years.

Khao Sok is a veritable Noah's Ark of Southeast Asian wildlife. The park's 739 square kilometers are home to a staggering array of species, many of which are rare or endangered. At the heart of the park lies the man-made Cheow Lan Lake, a vast expanse of emerald water dotted with limestone islands that rise like prehistoric creatures from its depths. Put on your hiking boots and turn to page 80 to see why a trip to Khao Sok should be at the top of your bucket list.

SailGP, launched in 2018 by American billionaire Larry Ellison and New Zealand yachtsman Sir Russell Coutts, has rapidly established itself as a premier event in the world of competitive sailing. Its emphasis on high-performance, fully foiling 50-foot catamarans has drawn large crowds to iconic waterfront locations across the globe.

Earlier this month, SailGP held its 2024 Grand Final Race on the shimmering waters of San Francisco Bay, and we're giving you a frontrow seat. Dig out your racing gear and turn to page 100 to see why you should start following this high-performance sailing sport.

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

as the second runner-up in the 2024 "World Class Thailand" Bartender of the Year Awards, as well as being a finalist in 2023. Additionally, he secured the first runner-up position at this year's Giffrad West Cup and was a finalist in the Dewar's Highball Challenge last year.

During his takeover, Mr B will delight guests with his Thai-inspired cocktails, including the remarkable highball creation known as "Poy Luang." This cocktail pays homage to grand celebrations featuring lively processions accompanied by the sounds of the gamelan. It combines a homemade wild apple sparkling juice, crafted from wild apples, galangal, and citron sourced from the Doi Ang hill tribe community in Chiang Mai's Fang District, with the exquisite Johnnie Walker Black Label Whiskey. As a nod to the global movement to reduce plastic usage, the cocktail is garnished with plum-soaked citron wrapped in edible plastic.

Mr B's selection of cocktails perfectly complements the menu at Mai The Sky Bar, which showcases dishes rooted in

local sustainable and organic farming practices. Drawing inspiration from Meliá's Spanish heritage, the vibrant menu offers an array of tapas, pinchos, grazing boards, and desserts, categorized under "Para Picar," "Tableros," and "Postres," respectively.

To amplify the lively atmosphere, Mai The Sky Bar's resident DJ will spin a captivating mix of commercial house, afro beats, pop, and dance-hall tunes from 8 pm onwards.

Entry to Mai The Sky Bar for Mr B's takeover is priced at THB 250 net per person, with credit redeemable towards food and drinks.

Phuket's stunning coastline is about to welcome a world-class addition to its marine infrastructure. The highly anticipated ONE°15 Marina Panwa Phuket, slated to open in the fourth quarter of 2024, promises to revolutionize the yachting experience on Thailand's largest island.

Located at Laem Panwa in Makham Bay, this state-of-the-art marina will serve as a gateway to some of the region's most captivating nautical destinations. Its strategic position at the southern tip of Phuket offers the closest departure point to the iconic Phi Phi Islands, a factor sure to entice both local and international boating enthusiasts.

The project, developed by Makham Bay Marina Co., Ltd, recently saw a majority stake acquisition by SUTL Enterprise Limited, the owner-operators of the renowned ONE°15 Marina at Sentosa Cove in Singapore. This S$24.3 million investment underscores the po -

tential of Phuket's marine tourism sector and aligns with Thailand's vision to become a premier yachting destination.

Boasting 171 berths, including accommodations for superyachts up to 120 feet, ONE°15 Marina Panwa Phuket will be the only integrated marina club in southern Phuket. The facility will feature 25 hard-stand spaces and 80 dry-stack storage units, catering to vessels of various sizes. A 66-room hotel and exclusive club facilities for up to 2,000 members will complement the marina, creating a comprehensive luxury lifestyle destination.

Beyond its impressive infrastructure, the marina promises to deliver an unparalleled experience for boating enthusiasts and holidaymakers alike. Visitors can look forward to upscale dining options, recreational club facilities, and unique on-water entertainment. The project also includes plans for yacht chartering services, nautical sports

programs, and a spa and wellness area, ensuring a well-rounded offering for all guests.

Arthur Tay, Executive Director and CEO of SUTL Enterprise, emphasized the strategic importance of the location: "Being naturally sheltered, it will offer 24-hour access to yachts with no tidal restrictions. I believe the location coupled with the added attributes of ONE°15 will serve to boost Phuket's marine industry to the next level."

As Phuket continues to evolve as a luxury travel destination, ONE°15 Marina Panwa Phuket is poised to become a cornerstone of the island's nautical scene. With its world-class facilities and prime location, this new marina is set to make a splash in the global yachting community and further cement Phuket's status as a premier boating paradise.

ELEVATING GASTRONOMY

Indulge in Chef Thierry Drapeau's Michelin-Starred Masterpieces at the Pinnacle of Bangkok's Culinary Scene

Rising majestically above the bustling city, with breathtaking vistas of the Bangkok skyline, stands Signature Bangkok, an epicurean haven led by the esteemed Chef Thierry Drapeau. Chef Thierry's remarkable talent earned him his first Michelin Star back in 2005 in France, followed by a second in 2010. Now, his culinary prowess shines brightly at Signature Bangkok, which proudly holds the prestigious Michelin Star distinction for both 2023 and 2024. Nestled on the 11th floor of the VIE Hotel, this exceptional restaurant serves innovative and contemporary French cuisine, solidifying its position as one of Bangkok's premier Michelin destination dining venues.

Our highly anticipated fine dining experience was an eight-course affair, created by the renowned master chef Thierry. His gastronomic philosophy can be summed up as, “cuisine of the soil”. Enchanting flowers and herbs, along with exceptionally fresh ingredients from land and sea, as he says “reflect nature”.

As you step into the restaurant, a world of refined elegance unfolds before you. Before being seated at your table, you are gracefully guided into their opulent piano lounge, adorned with plush velvet drapes that exude an air of sophistication. The dulcet tones of the pianist, fingers dancing across the grand piano keys, weave a soothing melody that gently washes away the stresses of the day. In this serene ambiance, you are enveloped in a state of tranquility and eager anticipation for the epicurean journey that awaits.

As the gentle melodies filled the air, an enchanting surprise awaited us—a delightful array of canapes that were not listed on the menu. Each bite unveiled a new sensation, starting with the exquisite Tarragon Tart accompanied by a tantalizing Potato Salad, crowned with delicate Shrimp Roe. The journey continued with a Beet Root Roll, revealing a creamy interior that delighted the palate. And finally, an Apple Celeriac Tart added a touch of fruity elegance to the ensemble. In that very moment, it became evident that we were embarking on a truly unforgettable culinary adventure. The chic decor, soft ambient lighting, and elegant seating arrangements effortlessly created an atmosphere of refined sophistication, setting the stage for an evening of gastronomic brilliance.

From the moment we took our seats, it was abundantly clear that the staff at Signature Bangkok possessed an unwavering commitment to professionalism. Their impeccable knowledge of the menu was only surpassed by their warm and genuine hospitality. With every interaction, they effortlessly made us feel like esteemed guests, attending to our needs with unparalleled attentiveness. In a delightful nod to French tradition, the ratio of staff to customers ensured that our experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Their presence was a testament to the restaurant's unwavering dedication to providing a truly exceptional dining experience.

The journey through Chef Thierry's kitchen wonders commenced with the first canape on the menu—an exquisite combination of Heirloom Tomato, accented by the intriguing flavors of Dehydrated Black Olive, and adorned with delicate Coriander Flowers. It was a tantalizing introduction to the chef's masterful creations, where every dish boasts not only delectable flavors but also visually captivating edible flowers. These vibrant blooms not only add a burst of color to each plate but also serve as a testament to Chef Thierry's artistry and attention to detail.

Next was La Lune Oyster, truly a delicacy of the sea. The mayonnaise condiment, black garlic, and rosella granite, provided a fabulous interplay with the brininess of the oyster. This was a tempting prelude to what was to come.

The next dish might have been the highlight of the evening, Arctic Char with Sturia Krystal Caviar. This took seafood to new heights. Arctic Char is delicious. However, the perfect complement was the Storia Krystal Caviar. Any discerning palate would be pleased by the symphony of tastes.

Our journey continued with Brittainy Blue Lobster with Celeriac, Cucumber, and Pesto Pistachio Mint. This culinary masterpiece was cooked to perfection, showcasing a sweet and briny flavor. I was immediately struck by the depth of flavors and finesse of this creation. The lobster’s tender flesh paired beautifully with the celeriac and crispness of cucumber. Adding to the cacophony of flavors was the pesto pistachio mint.

Next was the Tender Veal Beuchelle, with Green Bean, and Girolles Mushroom tart. This was the other dish that could have been the hit of the evening. The veal was tender, cooked to perfection, and seemed to melt in the mouth. A pleasing complexity to the dish was created by the savory flavors of beuchelle and girolles mushrooms. Each marvelous bite was a revelation, which once again showed Chef Thierry’s brilliance

A beautiful array of cheeses was brought to our table bearing the name of Les Freres Marchand Flower Garden. This was a meal in itself. The selection of cheeses presented showed the chef’s commitment to quality. Some cheese was creamy. Others tart, such as the bleu cheese. Complemented by expertly paired accoutrements, such as fruity preserves, and sourdough, this cheese tasting experience seemed as if it were a journey to France. The cheese offerings vary from time to time. So best to ask when seated.

The cheese experience was highlighted by a tableside Flambe of Crepe Suzette. The first bite revealed the perfect balance of sweet, orange, citrus tang, caramelized sugar, and the creaminess of the crepe itself.

At this point we were more than three hours into this feast. Would there be room for dessert? The first dessert serving was Chocolate Miso Ice Cream, with Matcha Butter Cream, candied cherry, topped by Pink Cosmos Flower Petals. The rich umami flavor perfectly complemented the velvety ice cream. The addition of the matcha butter cream adds a slight bitterness to balance out the sweetness of the ice cream. The

candied cherry added a burst of fruity acidity. The Pink Cosmos petals enchanted the eyes and highlighted the beauty of this dessert.

Dessert Number 2. Cinnamon Parfait, Chocolate Sorbet, Coconut Orange Milk with Tapioca. This symphony of flavors and textures create a delightful experience. The creamy richness of the parfait is complemented by the decadent chocolate sorbet, adding contrasting notes of warmth and coolness on the palate. The infusion of coconut and orange brings a tropical twist to the dessert. The tapioca pearls provide a textual contrast. Once again, this serving is not only mouthwatering, but also a visual treat.

As the evening drew to a close, it was with a contented sigh and a heart full of gastronomical delight that we bid adieu to Signature Bangkok. Chef Thierry Drapeau's Michelin-starred French restaurant had truly taken us on an unforgettable journey of taste, texture, and visual splendor. From the moment we stepped into the plush piano lounge, to the impeccable service and the exquisite creations that graced our palates, every aspect of this fine dining experience left an indelible mark.

Regulations for Minimum and Maximum

ABV in Wine: A Global Perspective

Alcohol by volume (ABV) is a crucial factor in defining a wine's character, flavor, and regulatory classification. Different countries and regions have specific regulations for minimum and maximum ABV levels in wine, shaped by local customs, climate, and consumer preferences. This article offers a global perspective on ABV content in wine and the various regulations that govern it. Please note that these regulations evolve regularly, and some percentages may vary as documentation is not always publicly available and is often shared only with producers.

Minimum and Maximum

ABV Levels: A Countryby-Country Guide

United States

In the United States, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) sets the standards for wine. Table wine, which is the most common type, typically has an ABV ranging from 7% to 14%. Fortified wines like Port or Sherry can have an ABV up to 24%. Wines with less than 7% ABV are categorized

separately and face different labeling requirements.

European Union

The European Union (EU) has a comprehensive regulatory framework for wine. Most still wines must have a minimum ABV of 8.5%, but this can be as low as 4.5% for wines produced in certain cooler regions, like Germany. The maximum ABV for still wines is generally around 15%, but fortified wines can go up to 22% ABV. There are some notable exceptions such as Puglia in southern Italy where the alcohol content can reach levels as high as 18%.

The EU also distinguishes between different categories of wine, such as "table wine" and "quality wine," each with its own ABV specifications.

Australia

Australia’s wine regulations are governed by the Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ). The minimum ABV for wine in Australia is 8%, with no specified maximum. However, for labeling purposes, wines over 15% ABV must declare the alcohol content more prominently. Fortified wines, like many other regions, can exceed 20% ABV.

New Zealand

In New Zealand, the minimum ABV for wine is set at 8%. There is no upper limit defined, but wines typically range

up to 15% ABV. Fortified wines are less common but follow similar guidelines to other countries, with higher alcohol content allowed.

Argentina and Chile

Both Argentina and Chile have vibrant wine industries with regulations that reflect their unique wine-making traditions. In Argentina, the minimum ABV for wine is 8%, with no specific maximum. Chile follows a similar approach, with most wines ranging between 11.5% and 14.5% ABV.

Notable Exceptions and Oddities Germany

Germany is known for its Riesling wines, which can have remarkably low ABV levels due to the cool climate and harvest methods. Some Kabinett and Spätlese Rieslings can have an ABV as low as 7.5%, making them exceptions in the global wine market.

Italy

Italy’s Moscato d'Asti is a unique sparkling wine with a low ABV, often around 5.5%. This wine’s low alcohol content is a result of early fermentation stoppage, which retains more of the grape’s natural sugars, giving it a sweet, fruity profile.

The Curious Case of Non-Alcoholic Wine

Non-alcoholic wine is a fascinating segment of the wine market. By definition, non-alcoholic wine must contain less than 0.5% ABV. These wines start as regular wine but undergo a dealcoholization process, which can involve techniques like vacuum distillation, reverse osmosis, or spinning cone technology. The goal is to remove most of the alcohol while preserving the flavors and aromas of the wine.

Are Non-Alcoholic Wines Truly "Wines"?

This question is hotly debated. In many jurisdictions, non-alcoholic wines cannot be labeled simply as "wine" due to the strict definitions surrounding the term. Instead, they are often marketed as "non-alcoholic wine" or "alcohol-free wine." The EU, for instance, requires non-alcoholic wines to be clearly labeled as such, ensuring consumers are not misled.

Production Process of Non-Alcoholic Wine

1. Fermentation: The process begins with the fermentation of grape juice, similar to regular wine production.

2. Dealcoholization: The fermented wine is then subjected to one of several dealcoholization techniques:

3. Vacuum Distillation: This method involves heating the wine under reduced pressure to boil off the alcohol at lower temperatures, which helps preserve some of the wine's flavors.

4. Reverse Osmosis: In this process, wine is passed through a membrane that separates alcohol and water from the other components, which are then recombined with water to create the final product. This method has lower cost but also causes significant levels of stress on the wine.

5. Spinning Cone Column: This technology uses centrifugal force to separate alcohol from the wine at low temperatures, minimizing flavor loss.

Non-alcoholic wines offer an alternative for those seeking the taste and experience of wine without the effects of alcohol. While they may not have the same depth and complexity as traditional wines, advancements in production techniques are continually improving their quality.

ABV is Terroir

Eventually, one as to draw a parallel between ABV content and terroir, the unique combination of soil, weather, and human practices. These elements directly influence a wine's ABV. From Puglia’s high-alcohol Negroamaro to Germanys’s Riesling, the variety

in ABV showcases the creativity and adaptability of winemakers to their land and reflects consumer expectations. Non-alcoholic wines add another layer of diversity, catering to a growing market of health-conscious consumers. As global tastes evolve, so too will the regulations and innovations in the world of wine.

Understanding Estate Tax for Non-Domiciled Individuals

The US accounts for over 60% of the global stock market, making it a significant focus for investors. However, many are unaware of the implications of US estate tax, especially for non-domiciled individuals, or non-resident aliens. Unlike US citizens and permanent residents, who are taxed on worldwide assets, non-domiciled individuals are only taxed on US-situated assets, which can profoundly affect estate planning and investments.

Key Factors Determining US Estate Tax Liability

1. Situs of Assets: The location of your assets is crucial. US-based assets like real estate, stocks, ETFs, and some bank accounts are subject to US estate tax, while non-US assets are generally excluded.

2. Exemption Threshold: In 2023, non-domiciled individuals have a much lower estate tax exemption of $60,000 compared to $12.92 million for US citizens and residents.

3. Tax Rates: The estate tax rates for non-domiciled individuals can reach up to 40% on the taxable portion of the estate, necessitating strategic planning.

Common Misconceptions

1. Exemption Status: Non-domiciled individuals are not exempt from US estate tax on US-situated assets.

2. Asset Types: The tax applies to more than just real estate; it includes stocks, bonds, and bank accounts.

Impact on Investments

The US estate tax significantly affects investment decisions for non-domiciled individuals. Careful planning is needed to structure portfolios tax-efficiently, considering asset diversification and the situs of investments.

Tropical Luxury: PALM AVENUE 4

A German Engineered Paradise in Hua Hin

As the sun rises over the Gulf of Thailand, casting a golden glow across the lush landscapes of Hua Hin, a new jewel in the crown of luxury living is taking shape. Palm Avenue 4, the latest phase of the exclusive Palm Avenue developments, is redefining opulence and comfort in this scenic coastal town. This haven of tranquility offers a perfect blend of seclusion and accessibility that discerning property investors crave.

As you approach Palm Avenue 4, the first thing that will strike you is the meticulously planned landscape. A private, tiled road lined with swaying palm trees and vibrant flowers leads you into this exclusive enclave. The absence of visible power lines - all utilities are hidden underground - preserves the natural beauty of the surroundings, creating an uncluttered, serene atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease.

Comprised of just 21 exquisite pool villas, each is a masterpiece of modern architecture and tropical living. Spread across a sprawling 19,000 square meter site, these villas offer generous plot sizes ranging from 480 to 1,200 square meters, ensuring ample space for outdoor living and privacy.

But it's not just about space - it's about intelligent design. Each villa is a fortress against the tropical climate, built with insulated wall blocks and ceilings

to keep interiors cool and comfortable. Large, covered terraces extend the living space outdoors, blurring the lines between inside and outside in true tropical style.

The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of these homes. High-quality 6-KW solar systems harness the abundant Thai sunshine, providing clean, renewable energy. Inverter air conditioning units and strategically placed ceiling fans ensure optimal comfort,

while well-sealed windows and sliding glass doors with mosquito protection allow for natural ventilation without unwelcome guests.

One of the crowning features of each villa is its saltwater swimming pool, constructed with natural stone for a touch of organic luxury. These pools aren't just for show - they're an integral part of the tropical lifestyle that Palm Avenue 4 embodies.

Inside, the villas are a blank canvas awaiting the personal touch of their owners. Kitchens, built-in cupboards, and bathroom fittings are individually planned in consultation with each client, allowing for a truly bespoke living experience. This personalization extends to the floor plans themselves, which can be adapted to suit individual preferences and needs.

The German influence is evident in the solid construction and high-quality materials used throughout. From the UV-protected roof tiles to the 3-phase electrical systems and fiber optic internet connections, no detail has been overlooked in the pursuit of comfort and durability.

But Palm Avenue 4 isn't just about individual villas - it's about community. The resort offers 24-hour security and concierge services, ensuring peace of mind for residents. An on-site administrative office, open daily, takes care of the day-to-day management of the resort, while a team of skilled craftsmen provides garden and pool maintenance services.

As of July 2024, Palm Avenue 4 is in full swing, with several villas already completed and others in various stages of construction. The show villa on Plot 4, an impressive E-Type villa with 3 bedrooms and 280 square meters of living space, offers potential buyers a tantalizing glimpse of what life could be like in this tropical paradise.

For those interested in making Palm Avenue 4 their home, there's a range of options to choose from. Two-bedroom villas start from 10,230,000 Thai Baht for a 218 square meter B-Type villa on a 480 square meter plot. For those requiring more space, three-bedroom villas are available, with the most luxurious F-Type villa offering 310 square meters of living space on a 1,200 square meter plot for 18,020,000 Thai Baht.

The pricing structure reflects not just the size of the villas and plots, but also the premium location and worldclass amenities on offer. With 11 of the 21 plots already sold, before the show house was finished, interested buyers are encouraged to act quickly to secure their slice of this tropical paradise.

Behind this ambitious project is Rosse Immobilien, a German property developer with a 17-year legacy in Hua Hin. With over 80 luxurious villas already built in the area, Rosse brings a wealth of experience and a reputation for excellence to Palm Avenue 4.

The company's commitment to quality extends beyond construction.

Those who purchase a Palm Avenue 4 property now, even if retirement is still on the horizon, can benefit from a lucrative guaranteed rental return program. Rosse offers a compelling 6% annual return over a five-year period, allowing buyers to generate passive income while their investment appreciates. This innovative approach not only secures a luxurious retirement haven for the future but also provides a smart hedge against inflation, turning your dream home into a savvy investment vehicle in the interim.

KHAO SOK NATIONAL PARK

A Lush Oasis in Southern Thailand

As the first rays of sunlight filter through the dense canopy, casting a golden glow on the misty morning air, you realize you've stumbled upon a slice of paradise. Welcome to Khao Sok National Park, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of southern Thailand that promises to captivate your senses and leave you in awe of nature's grand design.

A Living Fossil of Nature

Khao Sok is not just another national park; it's a living, breathing time capsule that has witnessed the passage of eons. This ancient rainforest predates even the Amazon, with its origins stretching back an astonishing 160 million years. As you trek through its winding paths, each step takes you on a journey through time, where the whispers of prehistoric creatures seem to echo in the rustling leaves.

The park's most iconic features are its towering limestone karst formations. These majestic cliffs, sculpted by time and the elements, rise dramatically from the emerald landscape, their jagged silhouettes etched against the sky. They stand as silent sentinels, guarding the secrets of a bygone era and providing a breathtaking backdrop for your Thai adventure.

A Biodiversity Hotspot

Khao Sok is a veritable Noah's Ark of Southeast Asian wildlife. The park's 739 square kilometers are home to a staggering array of species, many of which are rare or endangered. Lucky visitors might catch a glimpse of wild elephants lumbering through the underbrush, hear the distant roar of a clouded leopard, or spot the vibrant plumage of hornbills and kingfishers flitting through the trees.

The forest floor teems with life, from the smallest insects to amphibians of every hue. Gibbons swing gracefully through the upper canopy, their melodious calls echoing across the valleys. For wildlife enthusiasts and nature photographers, Khao Sok offers endless opportunities to observe and capture the raw beauty of the natural world.

Cheow Lan Lake: The Jewel of Khao Sok

At the heart of the park lies the man-made Cheow Lan Lake, a vast expanse of emerald water dotted with limestone islands that rise like prehistoric creatures from its depths. Created in 1982 with the construction of the Ratchaprapha Dam, the lake has since become an integral part of the Khao Sok ecosystem.

A boat trip on Cheow Lan is a must for any visitor. As you glide across the glassy surface, surrounded by mist-shrouded cliffs and lush jungle, you'll feel as though you've been transported to a lost world. The lake is home to various floating raft houses, offering a unique opportunity to spend the night in the middle of this watery paradise.

Adventures for Every Traveler

Khao Sok caters to all types of nature enthusiasts. For the intrepid explorer, there are multi-day treks deep into the jungle, where you can camp under the stars and truly immerse yourself in the wilderness. Guided night safaris offer the chance to spot nocturnal creatures and experience the forest's transformation after dark.

Those seeking a more relaxed experience can opt for gentle nature walks, where knowledgeable guides point out medicinal plants, colorful birds, and perhaps even the rafflesia – the world's largest flower, which can grow up to one meter in diameter. Canoe trips down the Sok River provide a peaceful way to observe wildlife along the banks and enjoy the lush scenery.

For the ultimate adrenaline rush, try ziplining through the forest canopy or join a tubing expedition down the river rapids. These activities not only offer excitement but also unique perspectives on the park's diverse ecosystems.

Conservation and Sustainable Tourism

As with many of the world's natural wonders, Khao Sok faces challenges from human impact and climate change. However, concerted efforts by park authorities, local communities, and responsible tour operators are helping to preserve this ecological treasure for future generations.

Visitors to Khao Sok can play their part by choosing eco-friendly accommodations, participating in guided tours that emphasize conservation, and following park rules designed to minimize human impact on the environment. Many lodges and tour companies in the area employ local guides and staff, ensuring that tourism benefits the community and incentivizes ongoing conservation efforts.

When to Visit and How to Get There?

Khao Sok National Park is accessible year-round, but the best time to visit is during the drier months from December to April. This period offers the most comfortable conditions for hiking and outdoor activities. However, the rainy season (May to November) has its own charm, with lush, verdant landscapes and dramatic waterfalls at their fullest.

Located approximately 650 kilometers south of Bangkok, Khao Sok is easily reached by bus or private transfer from popular tourist destinations like Phuket, Krabi, or Surat Thani. The nearest airport is in Surat Thani, about two hours away by car.

From Bangkok, the fastest route is to fly to Surat Thani Airport, which takes around 1 hour. Once there, you can arrange a taxi or minibus transfer to Khao Sok, taking another 1-1.5 hours. Alternatively, you can take the overnight train from Bangkok's Hua Lamphong Station to Surat Thani, which takes 1012 hours.

If you're coming from southern islands like Phuket, Krabi, or Koh Samui, you can book a combined boat and bus ticket directly to Khao Sok, a popular route for many travelers.

A Stay to Remember

Accommodation options in and around Khao Sok cater to all budgets and preferences. From basic bungalows that bring you close to nature, to luxurious eco-lodges offering a blend of comfort and sustainability, there's something for everyone.

For a truly unique experience, spend a night or two in a floating bungalow on Cheow Lan Lake, where the boundary between dreams and reality seems to blur in the misty morning light. Luxury options include the Elephant Hills Tented Camp, offering a "glamping" experience with safari-style tents, and the Khao Sok Riverside Resort & Spa, featuring elegant bungalows and villas.

As you plan your Thai getaway, consider setting aside a few days – or better yet, a week – to explore the wonders of Khao Sok National Park. In a country renowned for its beautiful beaches and vibrant cities, Khao Sok stands out as a testament to the raw power and beauty of nature. It offers not just a vacation, but a journey into the heart of one of the world's oldest rainforests.

FROM UNDERDOGS TO CHAMPIONS

Spain's Los Gallos Conquer SailGP in Thrilling Fashion

In the shimmering waters of San Francisco Bay, a thrilling chapter in international sailing unfolded as Spain's Los Gallos etched their name in SailGP history by claiming their maiden championship title. Against the iconic backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge, this Spanish Cinderella story unfolded, as driver Diego Botin and his crew outmaneuvered powerhouses Australia and New Zealand in a heart-stopping Grand Final race.

From the depths of the standings just a season prior, Los Gallos staged a remarkable turnaround to clinch victory in San Francisco. Their triumph not only added to a day of Spanish sporting achievements, which included victories in the Euro 2024 football championship, Wimbledon tennis final, and LIV Golf tournament, but also showcased their resilience and determination.

The win holds even greater significance considering the relatively short history of SailGP. Launched in 2018 by American billionaire Larry Ellison and New Zealand yachtsman Sir Russell Coutts, SailGP aimed to revolutionize high-performance racing by featuring equalized, fully foiling 50-foot catamarans. The inaugural season in 2019 captured attention with its unique format and $1 million prize for the winner-takes-all final race.

Spectators lining the shores and aboard spectator vessels were treated to a masterclass in high-speed foiling as Los Gallos executed a flawless start, immediately putting pressure on their rivals. The Spanish F50 catamaran seemed to dance across the bay's choppy waters, its red and yellow livery a blur of motion as it maintained its lead throughout the race.

The formidable Australian team, led by Tom Slingsby, fought valiantly to close the gap, but a crucial technical error in the final moments dashed their hopes of a fourth consecutive championship title. Slingsby, graceful in defeat, acknowledged the unpredictable nature of high-stakes racing, highlighting an unexpected equipment failure that cost them precious momentum.

Despite their consistent performance throughout the season, New Zealand found themselves unable to match the blistering pace of the Spanish team in the winner-takes-all final. Driver Peter Burling expressed disappointment but also pride in his team's efforts, vowing to return stronger in the upcoming season.

As Los Gallos crossed the finish line, the elation of the Spanish crew resonated across the water, reaching the cheering crowds. Botin's beaming smile spoke volumes as he steered his victorious vessel back to the Race Stadium at Marina Green, where thousands of fans awaited to celebrate this historic moment in Spanish sailing.

The championship weekend in San Francisco was not without its share of drama beyond the final race. The French team, Les Bleus, saw their hopes dashed in a collision with the Danish boat during Fleet Race 5, resulting in a broken rudder and a significant point penalty. Driver Quentin Delapierre reflected on the incident, expressing a mix of frustration and pride in his team's overall performance throughout the season.

This championship victory not only cements Spain's place among the elite teams in SailGP but also dismisses any doubts about their future in the league. Botin's standout performance on San Francisco Bay has undoubtedly attracted the attention needed to secure the team's position in future seasons.

SailGP has rapidly established itself as a premier event in the world of competitive sailing. Its emphasis on high-performance, fully foiling 50-foot catamarans has drawn large crowds to iconic waterfront locations across the globe. San Francisco's Marina Green served as the perfect amphitheater for this nautical spectacle, with the Race Stadium offering unparalleled views of the action.

During the 2023-2024 SailGP season, the league featured a total of 12 events across various iconic locations. The season began in Chicago, followed by a race in Los Angeles. The European leg included events in Saint-Tropez, France, and Taranto, Italy, culminating in the Andalucía-Cádiz event in Spain on October 14-15, 2023.

The season continued in 2024 with races in the UAE, Sydney, Australia, and Auckland, New Zealand. Following these, the league returned to Bermuda.

The season concluded with the Canada Sail Grand Prix, followed by events in New York, and the grand final in San Francisco on July 13th & 14th.

Beyond the thrilling races, SailGP has also made sustainability a core principle, aiming to reduce its environmental impact through innovative practices. The league's commitment to sustainability was evident in the San Francisco event, highlighting their focus on creating a more environmentally friendly future for high-level sporting events.

Looking ahead to the 2024/25 Season, SailGP has announced exciting developments to elevate the competition even further. Teams will participate in preseason training camps in Bermuda and Dubai for the first time in the league's history, providing valuable preparation time ahead of the season opener. The upcoming season, commencing with the Emirates Dubai Sail Grand Prix presented by P&O Marinas, promises another year of intense competition and spectacular sailing.

SailGP's growth since its launch has been remarkable, with an expanded roster of teams and a refined format that delivers ever more thrilling races. The winner-takes-all final, with its substantial prize purse, continues to attract top sailing talent from around the world, including Olympic medalists and America's Cup veterans.

The league's commitment to innovation extends beyond the racecourse, incorporating cutting-edge technology into every aspect of the sport.
