A Deadly Year for Dugongs (Page 10)

A big spike in dugong fatalities in Thai coastal regions this year has been caused by pollution and habitat disturbance.

The Future of Media and Tourism Development Advertising The Thai Public Broadcasting Service (Thai PBS) has reported that the government has shelved three high-speed projects, including the southern route which would have seen Hua Hin being connected to Bangkok via high speed rail.

The Thai PBS report states that well-informed sources in the Transport Ministry say that none of the three projects were included in the infrastructure master plan recently submitted to the economic cabinet meeting by the Transport Ministry.

The three excluded high-speed rail projects are:

The Bangkok-Surat Thani southern route The Bangkok-Phitsanuloke- Chiang Mai northern route The second phase of the eastern route between Rayong and Trat.

The Bangkok-Surat Thani project would have included a stop at Hua Hin. The government now doubts the project’s economic viability, due to high investment costs on the 600km route. This may not attract investors from the private sector.

Negotiations with Japan to co-invest in the northern route project have not been successful.

The Japanese side says that it has never invested in a high-speed

train project outside Japan and is reluctant to invest in the Thailand projects.

Although a feasibility study of the Bangkok-Phitsanuloke-Chiang Mai high-speed train project has been completed, the government has made it clear that it would not invest in the project unless Japan agrees to co-invest and provide technology transfer to Thailand.

However, Mr. Chayatham Promsorn, deputy director of the Office of Transport and Traffic Policy and Planning, said that the Thai government has set its sights on developing the Thai-Chinese high-speed train project between Bangkok and Nong Khai in the Northeast, which will connect with the 3 Chinese-Lao high-speed train systems under the Belt and Road Initiative.

Construction of the first phase of the project, between Bangkok and Nakhon Ratchasima, is due to be completed in the next two years while design of the second phase, from Nakhon Ratchasima to Nong Khai, is underway.

As the high-speed train system in Laos is nearing completion, he said that Thailand must speed up its construction of the Bangkok-Nong Khai project.

Nakhon Pathom-Cha-Am motorway

One project that is expecting a final ministerial regulation is the Nakhon Pathom-Cha-Am motorway scheme.

The project is still waiting for the cabinet to approve the additional 8-billion-Baht budget needed to enable the land expropriation for the motorway, which faces stiff opposition from landowners because land prices have more than doubled since the project was approved by the government, according to the Department of Highways.

Although the compensation was approved by the government two years ago, the residents co m p l a i n e d t h ey h ave n o t received a single baht for their land, which they have already handed to the state.

A combination of the printed media with a variety of digital platforms will be the most effective way of delivering information to the public.

4 泰国公共广播报道说，泰国政府已经 搁置了三个高铁项目，其中包括将华欣 和曼谷相连的泰南高铁。

The dual-track south-bound route is currently under construction and due to be operational in 3-4 years.

Thai PBS的报告说，交通内部的内部人员 透露到：以下三个项目都没有列入交通部提 交给政府审批的设施计划中。这三个项目 具体是： 曼谷-素叻府的南线 曼谷-彭世洛府的北线 二期项目的彭世洛府-达叻府东线

High Speed Airport Links Latest News

The US $7.4 billion, 220 kilometre link between three international airports is scheduled to start operating in 2023. The government signed the agreement on October 24th to begin construction by a consortium led by the Charoen Pokphand Group. This route will shuttle passengers from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi and Don Muang international airports to a U Tapao near Pattaya in under an hour.

HUA HIN TODAY, 1 - 15 November 2019

曼谷-素叻府的南线中应该包括华欣的高铁 站。然而修建一条600公里的铁路需要大量 的成本，这让政府开始质疑该项目的可行 性，原因是项目可能不能吸引私营企业的 投资者。 泰国与日本共同投资北方铁路项目的谈判没 有成功。日方表示，目前没有在日本境外投 资高速列车项目的打算，并且表示对投资泰 国的高铁项目没有兴趣。

虽然曼谷-彭世洛府-清迈高速列车项目的可 行性研究已经确定，但政府明确表示，除非 日方同意加入投资并且向泰国提供技术，否 则不会对该项目进行投资。 Chayatham Promsorn交通运输政策与规 划办公室的副主任说道，政府已将目光投向 将曼谷和廊开府路线连接到“中泰高铁” 项目，该项目将与中国和老挝高速铁路系 统在“一带一路”的合作倡议下连接起来。 曼谷和呵叻府之间的工程预计在未来两年完 工，而从呵叻府到廊开府的二期工程正在设 计和策划中。由于老挝的高速列车系统即将 完工，他觉得泰国必须加快曼谷-廊开府的 项目建设。 曼谷至清迈公路项目还在等待有关部门审 批通过。

Warning of Jellyfish during Rainy Season

Eco Market at the Bluport Hua Hin begins using Natural Materials

Bluport Hua Hin Resort Mall recently came up with the idea to help save the environment by refraining the use of plastics and styrofoam containers at the Eco Market fo o d h u b. I n ste a d , t h ey started using natural and biodegradable materials for food utensils when serving customers. Ms. Jariya Hansa Wong, General Manager of Blue Port Hua Hin Resort Mall, along with Ms. Naruwan Pinit, Senior Marketing Manager led the media to the outlet located at G Floor to show the different kinds of biodegradable food boxes and containers including the use of paper bags instead of plastics. According to survey, plastic wastes take up 450 years to decompose, but what is worse is that of styrofoam, which doesn’t decompose naturally.

As a result, Bluport has started introducing biodegradable materials in food hubs like the Eco Market Moreover, Bluport does not allow merchants who sell food and beverage at the Eco market to use styrofoam or plastic boxes and bags.

Natural materials made out of banana leaves, bamboos and other plants are prefered.

Eco Market is an outlet selling famous food and desserts from around Hua Hin, Petchaburi and Prachuap Khiri Khan. As far as the management is concerned, there have been good feedbacks from customers regarding the usage of biodegradable and natural materials in food utensils.

During the rainy season, jellyfish are often found on beaches along Cha Am and Hua Hin coastline, with both poisonous and non-toxic. The poison from a ‘Fire Jellyfish’ (which the locals used to call it) usually is caused by making contact or being stung by its tentacles.

Jellyfish uses its tentacles to catch baits floating in the sea water, causing the bait to become paralyzed. For humans, if stung by its poisonous tentacles, can cause itching of the skin, swelling, redness and severe burning pain. In some cases, it can cause blockage, chest tightness, shortness of breath, numbness, insomnia, fever and even death. Wounds caused by jellyfish often leave burn marks and can leave chronic injuries. Numbers of jellyfish can be seen especially during rainy season. Beach goers should be extra careful or even avoid swimming during this time. Occasionally, dead jellyfish are also found along the beach, they shouldn’t be touched nor played with because their tentacles are still poisonous and can cause injury.

8 The Future of Media and Tourism Development On October 16th, Ms. Wasana Srikanjana, President of Hua Hin-Cha-am Tourism Business Association, organised a special seminar called ‘Media and Tourism Development’. During their monthly meeting at Navipirom Hotel Hua Hin Dr. Thanachai Theerapattanawong was the guest speaker.

Dr. Thanachai, the Chairman of Jaynalyn Media Co Ltd and owner of Hua Hin Today is a businessman with more than 40 years of experience in the publishing industry. He shared his knowledge and visions in social media advertising and its role in the tourism industry.

He said that while the newspaper businesses are slowly closing down its door, he is confident that the expansion of printed media will prolong through different platforms of advertisement and ways of delivering information to the public.

His company’s future plan is to open a newspaper outlet in

Chiang Mai called Thailand Today News. The main languages will be in Chinese and English due to the growing numbers of Chinese living in Chiang Mai.

In the coming year, the co m p a ny w i l l l a u n c h m o re newspaper outlets in other provinces where many foreigners are living such as in Phuket, Koh Samui, Pattaya and Khon Kaen.

“Of course, in today’s world, digital media is very important” said Dr. Thanachai. And as a result, he founded the English news centre hub: Thailandtoday.co which is a website that gathers all the news around Thailand from 77 provinces.

He said that he appreciated the brilliant idea of ​​t he Thai government in launching the project “Taste, Shop, S p end” to promote the country’s e c onomy during the low season. With over 10 million registered u s ers in just a short period of time, the project

Hiring a Motorcycle; Changes On the Way

Thailand’s Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob says he has taken on the challenge of tackling the county’s huge problem with motorcycle deaths on the roads. He says he’s intent on tackling Thailand’s shameful road toll, recognising that motorcycles are the main culprit as 75% of road deaths in Thailand involve motorcycles.

One decision is a new requirement that is being reported is that a valid motorbike driving licence must be produced before hiring a motorbike to drive on the roads.

The Minister added that driving licences would need to apply specifically to big bike motorbikes. The definition of what makes a motorcycle “big” has been reported to be a 300 CC engine capacity.

The new requirement may be in place later this month. Up until now tourists have been easily able to rent a motorcycle by just showing a passport.

The Transport Ministry also plans to ban “lane splitting” by big-bike riders and limit their speed to 80 kilometres per hour in built-up areas. Chirute Visalachitra, deputy permanent secretary for transport, has said that under the “lane-splitting” ban, big-bike riders would not be permitted to ride alongside or pass vehicles in the same lane and would have to wait for traffic lights behind other vehicles in traffic lanes.

In addition, the ministry would require big bike riders to undergo specially-designed tests before obtaining big bike driving licences. There would be special test fields for big bike riders and they would also undergo simulations of danger-prone situations to ensure they have a safety-first mindset, Mr Chirute said.

HUA HIN TODAY, 1 - 15 November 2019

The proposals were amongst a long list of new standards being considered over the next month by various transport subcommittees ahead of recommendations to the transport minister later in October.

Mr Chirute did not give a timeframe for the imposition of the new rules, saying officials would finalise new measures for motorcycle safety in 30 days before seeking cabinet approval. Some measures might start by the end of the year, he said without elaborating.

It is understood that some European countries base motorcycle licensing restrictions on the size of the motorcycle used to take the test. For example if the test is taken with a 250 CC machine then that is the size limit that applies to the license.

Others have restrictions which mean that a practical test taken on a ‘twist-andgo automatic’ will only qualify you to ride twist-and-go automatics. To ride motorcycles with gears, you need to take the test on a geared bike.

A further requirement may limit the engine capacity until some years’ experience has been gained with restrictions on carrying pillion passengers or travelling on motorways.

A Bloomberg study in association with the World Bank recently suggested that the ongoing failure by the Thai government to deal with road deaths will cost it 22% of future GDP growth apart from the human toll.

Thailand was the country in the world most impacted in the study which measured the economic effects of the loss of workingage adults and the costs of injuries and associated healthcare of the many more people who are left seriously injured.

was considered a huge s u ccess.

This project was about encouraging people to spend money and boost the economy during this period.

Dr. Thanachai also reco m mends Hua Hin businessmen sho u ld

apply this kind of stra t egy to promote tourism in Prac h uap province through govern m ent agencies like TAT ​​and other private entrepreneurs.

During the convention, there was a banking business package introduced by the District Director of SME Phetchaburi and the Bank of Ayudhaya Public Company Limited. The package which allows merchants to easily apply for loans.

Ms. Wasana and the members of Hua Hin - Cha-Am Tourism Business Association presented a bouquet of flowers to welcome the new Director of TAT Phetchaburi office, Ms. Chompoo Marrussot and two other deputies as well.

Another honourable guest, Pol. Maj. Warodom Bairua, Chief Inspector of the Tourist Police Station 2, Division 3, was also at the seminar to introduce a new LINE App service for tourists that need urgent assistance.

This app comes in 3 languages (English, Thai and Chinese) which can also be easily downloaded.

Incomplete Sea Wall at Thung Pradu Beach a Source of Community Concerns Community members of Thung Pradu Bay in the Thap Sakae District of Prachuap Khiri Khan have voiced their concerns with an apparently botched attempt to form a seas wall to protect the beach from erosion and storm damage.

It has been alleged that a contractor has abandoned the project leaving large plastic bags filled with what has been described as carbon dust. Previously white sand-filled bags made of nylon had been in place although erosion problems had persisted.

The villagers are concerned both with the continuing erosion threatening some homes

but also the environmental issues of the ‘carbon dust’ on the environment including respiratory tract issues.

They have needed to take action themselves to stop the erosion in the short term.

M r. P i r o m N i l a ya , Deputy Governor of Prachuap Khirikhan Province and other officials have visited the area to address a meeting of more than 30 people affected.

As well as having provincial departments speed restorative work, Mr Pirom said that he had consulted the environmental academics of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and been assured that the bags have little impact on respiratory issues.

The black bags will not be removed to avoid increasing erosion until the long term construction is completed. Thung Pradu is around 130 kilometres south of Hua Hin. HUA HIN TODAY, 1 - 15 November 2019

10 Locomotive No.305 On the Move!

305号火车头！出发！ 有着100年历史的305号火车头一 直以来是华欣火车站旁边一个非 常受欢迎的景点。多年来一直受 到旅客们的爱戴，被拍摄了无数 的照片。 为了为了后代旅保留这个火车站的 吉祥物，需要将它进行临时搬迁， 以便修建双轨铁路，并确保它不会 受到损坏。 双轨铁路建设项目的承包商：中泰 工程建设股份有限公司已成功地用 吊车和24轮卡车将这历史悠久的 305号移至为其准备的临时位置，

The 100 year old locomotive, Number 305 is a much loved feature alongside Hua Hin’s railway station and has long been a popular tourist attraction with countless souvenir photos taken over the years.

To safeguard this significant feature of the railway station and to preserve the locomotive for the generations of visitors to come, a temporary move was required to allow the construction of the dual track rail line and to ensure No.305

does not become a casualty of the process. The Sino-Thai Engineering and Construction Public Company Limited, a contractor for the double track railway construction project, has successfully used cranes and large 24-wheel trucks to move the historic steam engine 305 to a temporary location in preparation for the construction.

The move was not without incident as the crane engine refused to start for several hours before officials resorted to lighting

in a fish trap, marking the 21st gentle sea cow to perish this year, by far the most to die since counting began.

今年又有一头儒艮被鱼网缠住后死 亡，同时也是今年第21头温顺的海 牛死亡，这是自从开始统计儒艮死 亡数量以来死亡数最多的一年。

谈到了过去15年左右的统计，他说 道：“我们在近几年以来一直在统 计儒艮的死亡数量，然而往年中最 多只有大概12只，所以说这惊人的 数据跟以往无法相比。” 他认为死亡数的增长是多种外部因 素造成的，包括过度使用塑料和捕 鱼网的增加，这些因素无意中影响 了儒艮的栖息地。

华欣火车站助理车站助理wirat indit先生表示，承包商已将305号 安置在皇家高尔夫球场侧边的一个 临时位置，等项目完工后再将其送 回火车站旁的位置。

儒艮致命的一年 海洋生物学家、泰国农业大学大学 教授Thon Thamrongnawasawat 说道2019年儒艮死亡数跟往年比 起来几乎翻了一倍

in Thailand. The most recent fullgrown adult found dead was discovered shrouded in a plastic net in the Khura Buri district of the southern Phang Nga province.

August saw the tragic deaths of two baby sea cows rescued by marine biologists. The first died from an infection exacerbated by bits of plastic lining her stomach while the second had seagrass clogging his digestive system.

While Thailand’s top environmentalists have announced a project to promote large-scale conservation of dugongs and other wildlife – named The Mariam Project for the first orphaned dugong to die, Thon said it hasn’t been approved by the cabinet.

He had no clue when the government would review the proposal and refused to disclose the funding requested for it until after it wins approval.

In August, Thon laid out some

其中发生了一件神奇的事，在305 号迁移开始时，吊车几个小时内都 无法启动无奈的官员们只好点上香 火，并为305号送上一个花圈， 以求好运。最后才得以将305号 抬上卡车

incense and bringing a marigold wreath to the locomotive for better luck before finally being able to lift the locomotive onto the truck.

Mr Wirat Indit, assistant station assistant at Hua Hin Railway Station, said the contractor had relocated the old locomotive to a temporary place on the side of the Royal Golf Course before it can be returned to a suitable long term location next to the train station after project completion.

AAnother Deadly Year for Dugongs dugong has died this year after becoming tangled

Thon Thamrongnawasawat, a marine biologist and Kasetsart University lecturer, says that 2019 has seen nearly double the dugong deaths.

“We have records of dugong deaths and in previous years, we would see a maximum of about 12 dugong deaths a year, so there’s not even a comparison,” he said of the count conducted for the past 15-or-so years.

He credited the spike in deaths to multiple factors including excessive plastic use and increased fishing, which has inadvertently impacted the dugong’s habitat.

“Dugongs breathe through their lungs, so when they get caught in a fish trap, they will drown and die,” he said, adding that about 90% of dugong deaths are caused by humans and their fishing gear.

According to Thon, there are only about 250 dugongs left

以便为将来的施工做准备。

of the things the project hopes to accomplish, including establishing a fund for wildlife conservation supported by the private sector and public alike. The project would have an international flavour as well, he explained.

“We are planning a global meeting to launch a global dugong meeting to join hands with other nations to address rare marine animal conservation and the sea pollution crisis,” he wrote in August, proposing Aug. 17 be declared “National Dugong Day” in tribute to Mariam.

Thon’s goal is to increase Thailand’s dugong population by half to 375 within 10 years.

He added that the support and cooperation of the public in consuming less plastic would make a huge impact. “The biggest thing everyone can do is actively try to use less plastic every day. That will help a lot,” he said.

“儒艮通过肺部呼吸，因此当他 们被缠在鱼网中时，他们会被淹 死，”他补充到：大约90%的儒 艮死亡因素是人类的渔具造成的。 据Thon说，目前泰国只剩下大约 250只儒艮。最新发现的一具成 年的儒艮尸体是在泰国南部Khura Buri的Phang nga地区被一个塑 料网所缠死。 8月份，海洋生物学家抢救两只小 海牛失败了，第一只死于胃里的塑 料碎片感染，而第二只是海草堵塞 了消化系统。

虽然泰国的环保主义者宣布了一个 大规模保护儒艮以及其他野生动物 的项目，命名为“第一个死亡的儒 艮小马里亚姆”，但Thon说，该 项目还没有得到政府的批准。 他不知道政府什么时候会审查这项 提案，并且他表示会拒绝向政府透 露保护项目所需哟的的资金，直到 此提案获得批准。 今年8月，Thon提出了该项目希望 实现的一些目标，包括建立一个由 私营部门和公共部门共同支持的野 生动物保护基金会。他解释说，这 个项目也将具有国际风味。 他在8月写道：“我们正计划召开 一次全球会议，发起一次呼吁全 球保护儒艮的会议，与其他国家携 手应对珍稀海洋动物保护和海洋污 染危机，”并提议将8月17日宣布 为“全国儒艮日”，以悼念去世的 小马里亚姆。 Thon的目标是在10年内将泰国儒 艮数量增加一半即375只。他补充 到：减少消费并（并字改为和）使 用塑料产品方面的支持与合作将产 生巨大的影响。“每个人能做的最 大的事情就是每天积极地减少塑料 产品的使用”。这将对此事件会有 很大帮助。”

12 Offbeat Holidays November 1st is World Vegan Day.

November 9th is

YOUR COUNTRY’S NATIONAL DAY November 4th is the National Day of Tonga [formerly Constitution Day] Tonga officially named the Kingdom of Tonga, is a Polynesian sovereign state and archipelago comprising 169 islands, of which 36 are inhabited. The total surface area is about 750 square kilometres (290 sq mi) scattered over 700,000 square kilometres (270,000 sq mi) of the southern Pacific Ocean. The state has a population of 100,651 people, of whom 70% reside on the main island of Tongatapu.

November 9th is the National Day of Kingdom of Cambodia

Every year on 1st November, vegans (vegetarians) around the world celebrate and champion for their vegan lifestyle. According to many acclaimed vegans, the lifestyle is beneficial for the health of the human beings, not to mention that it fosters environmental protection as well as the lives of animals.

November 3rd is National Housewife’s Day

Each year on November 3, millions of people across the country observe National Housewife’s Day. This day was created to make the day a special one for the stay-athome moms. Taking care of the children and the home is a 24/7 job that sometimes does not get the thank you that is much deserved.

The term housewife is an old term stemming from the days when most families were supported by one income.

The father worked, and the mother stayed home to take care of the house and the children. Times have changed, and it is not always possible for one parent to stay at home, even though it is still preferred by some. Typically, in today’s society, two incomes are needed to support a household.

If a mother can stay home, the term stay-at-home mom or domestic engineer is favored over the term housewife.

November 5th is World Tsunami Awareness Day Tsunamis are rare events, but can be extremely deadly. In the past 100 years, 58 of them have claimed more than 260,000 lives, or an average of 4,600 per disaster, surpassing any other natural hazard. The highest number of deaths in that period was in the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004. It caused an estimated 227,000 fatalities in 14 countries, with Indonesia, Sri Lanka, India and Thailand hardest-hit.

November 8th is NATIONAL CAPPUCCINO DAY

National Cappuccino Day is observed annually on November 8. A nice hot cup of cappuccino is perfect on a frosty morning, meeting with friends or just to enjoy a creamy cuppa. Traditionally prepared with espresso, hot milk, and steamed-milk foam, a cappuccino is originally an Italian coffee drink.

The word cappuccino comes from the Capuchin friars and is the diminutive form of cappuccio in Italian, meaning hood or something that covers the head. This popular coffee beverage got its name not from the hood on their habits but from the color of the hooded robes that the friars wore.

November 13th is World Kindness Day

This day is celebrated annually on 13th November.

On this day, participants attempt to make the world a better place by celebrating and promoting good deeds and pledging acts of kindness, either as individuals or as organisations.

World Kindness Day was first launched in 1998 by The World Kindness Movement, an organisation formed at a 1997 Tokyo Conference of like-minded kindness organisations from around the world.

November 15th is World Diabetes Day World Diabetes Day aims to raise awareness of diabetes, a disease that raises blood sugar levels. Diabetes can result in problems with other organs and significantly increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and death. As of 2015, approximately 1 in 10 adults worldwide is diabetic, a problem which poses a massive burden on nations as it threatens their health and economic prosperity.

In 1991, World Diabetes Day was established by the International Diabetes Federation and the World Health Organization in an effort to address the increasing number of diabetic cases and its burden on countries. Currently, diabetes prevalence is highest in the Middle East and Southern Asia while it is lowest in Sub Saharan Africa. Diabetes, especially type 2, has been linked to obesity and a sedentary, inactive lifestyle and thus World Diabetes Day also serves to promote a healthy and active lifestyle that can drastically reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Poland’s Independence Day is celebrated on 11 November to commemorate the anniversary of the restoration of Poland’s sovereignty as the Second Polish Republic in 1918 from the German, Austrian and Russian Empires. Following the partitions in the late 18th century, Poland ceased to exist for 123 years until the end of World War I, when the destruction of the neighboring powers allowed the country to reemerge. It is a non-working day in Poland.

November 11th – National Day the Republic of Angola This national holiday is celebrated on November 11 each year. The holiday was established to celebrate the anniversary of Angola’s independence from Portugal on 11 November 1975. This is Angola’s national holiday.

History of Angolan Independence Day The region now known as Angola was first visited by Europeans by the Portuguese explorer Diogo Cão in 1484.

Over the following centuries, the Portuguese established settlements and trading posts along the Angolan coast.

It was not until the 20th century that Portuguese control extended to the interior region of Angola.

The first movement towards independence for Angola began in the 1950s with the creation of political groups wanting self-determination for Angola.

November 15th is the National Day of the Kingdom of Belgium Belgium is a sovereign state in Western Europe. It is bordered by the Netherlands to the north, Germany to the east, Luxembourg to the southeast, France to the southwest, and the North Sea to the northwest.

It is divided into three highly autonomous regions: Flanders in the north, Wallonia in the south, and the Brussels-Capital Region. Brussels is the smallest and most densely populated region, as well as the richest region in terms of GDP per capital.

13 There’s a Taste for Norwegian Seafood and Tourism in Thailand

If you enjoy “authentic” Japanese sashimi at a buffet in Thailand, chances are you’re enjoying one of Norway’s most important exports to Thailand.

Thailand is the fastest growing market in Southeast Asia for Norwegian seafood, especially salmon, says Kjersti Rodsmoen, the Norwegian Ambassador in Thailand. “Thais are buying more and more salmon, and we’re very happy about that,” Ms Rodsmoen said in a recent interview.

Norwegian ambassador to Thailand Kjersti Rodsmoen and her faithful friend ‘Remba’ I n 2 01 8 a l o n e, N o r way exported 29,000 tons of seafood worth USD135 million to Thailand,

or more than 4 billion baht, an increase of about 10 percent from the year before. This amount is about one percent of the total 2.7 million tons exported by Norway in that year.

S e a fo o d t ra d e, l a rg e l y composed of salmon and mackerel, alone amounts for more than 21 percent of the entire worth of bilateral trade between Norway and Thailand, which was around USD640 million in 2018.

The amount is significant enough that the Norwegian Seafood Council, a public company

by Norway’s fisheries ministry, officially relocated its Southeast Asian office from Singapore to Thailand earlier in 2019.

Salmon isn’t the only thing Norway is sending downstream to Thailand. Thailand is the second most popular tourist destination for Norwegians second only to Spain, with 130,000 to 140,000 Norwegians, both tourists and business travellers, visiting every year. About 5,000 Norwegian expats reside in Thailand, with the number bumping up to almost 9,000 during the Norwegian winter. Some are retired and live in Pattaya, Phuket as well as Hua Hin. Cha-Am is also a favourite d e s t i n a t i o n f o r N o r we g i a n

travellers, especially with the annual Wirkola Cup happening this month when Norwegian golfers descend on the town. They also bring some of their own entertainment with a country & western night planned on the street at Soi Long Beach on 2nd November featuring ‘The Long Riders’ before the ‘Dansegalla’ gets underway from 4th November.

Around 20,000 Thai expats reside in Norway, with Thais visited Norway as tourists in 2018. From January to August 2019, there was a 20 percent increase in Thai tourist numbers to the Land of

the Midnight Sun. Ms Rodsmoen, 56, has worked in the Norwegian foreign service since 1988 and been stationed in places like New York, Mexico, and Latin America before taking up her Thai post in 2018.

Norwegians really are lovers of the outdoors, Rodsmoen said when asked to confirm or deny a stereotype about the country.

“A good stereotype is that we are really outdoorsy and love nature. I can confirm that Norwegians really love to wander in the mountains and the cold,” she said.

14 Solutions Sought for Khao Takiab Villagers

Mr. Nopporn Wutthikul, the Mayor of Hua Hin and Mr Chatri Wachira Phadet Suek, Director of the Forest Resources Management Office have met with more than 50 people living in areas controlled by the forest management area at ​​Choeng Khao Takiab.

The Mayor said there is a need to find a solution to the problem of the villagers who may not have a legal tenure on the land where around 30 households are housed.

Mr, Nopporn said that the municipality called a meeting as the villagers have lived there for over 10 years and there needs to be a resolution with guidelines established for the benefit of all those involved in this issue.

The municipality will conduct an area survey based on the living circumstances and to resolve the accompanying issues of traffic problems in that area and the preservation of forestry land.

Big Changes Underway at Cha-Am Beach

七岩海滩即将面临重大变化 巴蜀政府已经开始在七岩海滩的沙滩和海边修建海堤， 并在海滩的南部铺设人行道 政府的改造工程包括填海造地。在海滩边的 台阶搭建基脚和混凝土塔架，以防沙滩在巨 浪或潮汐侵蚀下出现沉塌现象 该项目于10月1日开始，将包括从海滩中央 向南延伸约1.5公里的改造以及建设。该项目 的预算约为1.03亿泰铢，工程预期为两年。 施工图显示，从广受欢迎的阴凉前滩进入海 滩的道路得到了很大的改善，运输海滩娱 乐设备的车辆（如香蕉船拖车和水上摩托 车）以及偶尔经过的马匹也有了定期的斜 坡通道。

The Phetchaburi Provincial Government has commenced construction of a sea wall with steps down to the sands or water’s edge and a paved walkway along the southern end of the main Cha-Am Beach.

The works include land reclamation with substantial footings and concrete pylons under the ocean side of the steps intended to prevent damage and beach sand subsidence after heavy seas or tidal erosion.

The project commenced on 1st October and will include beach reclamation and construction from the central viewpoint extending around 1.5 kilometres south. The project has a budget of almost a 103 million THB and a two year projected timeline.

The construction drawings show much improved beach access from the popular shaded foreshore with periodic ramped access for vehicles transporting beach recreational equipment such as trailered banana boats and jet skis as well as the occasional horse.

A wide paved walkway will provide an attractive pedestrian walkway; a missing feature of most of the Cha-Am beach with

pedestrians required to take to the road to commute away from the sands. The other issue which locals hope will be resolved is that of parked cars taking over walkways.

宽阔的沙滩上铺设有一条引人注目的人行 道；大部分海滩都缺少这一点，而行人则需 要走上马路才可以远离沙滩。当地人希望 能解决的另一个问题是停放的汽车占据了 人行道。

从芭提塔海滩所吸取的教训 我们希望能从最近发生的芭堤雅海的灾难修 复项目中吸取一些教训 一个刚完成的价值4亿泰铢的芭提雅海滩修 复工程被四月的风暴无情地冲走， 然而这 个项目曾被誉为“一项最具有吸引力的海滩 扩展工程” 据报道，今年4月份，体积200立方米的海 滩被冲入海中（海滩被冲进海里，是沙子的 体积？面积？）。港务局说，他们已经料到 会发生这样的事情。现在，在未来一年可能 会再花费1.05亿泰铢，来改善排水系统，使 沙滩的沙子保持原位。 七岩政府为当地的各大企业召开了一次会 议，会议目的是告知各大企业修复工程会带 来短期不便

Lesson from Pattaya Beach Let’s hope that lessons have been learnt from the recent disastrous beach restoration project in Pattaya.

In Pattaya an April storm washed away the beach soon after the completion of a 400 million THB beach restoration project. The project had been trumpeted as providing a most attractive newly extended beach.

It was reported that that up to 200 metres of the beach in a dozen locations had been swept out to sea in April this year. The Harbor Department said it always accepted that something like this could happen. Now it is planned to spend another 105 million THB over the next year with improved drainage so that the sand may stay in place.

Th e C h a -A m m u n i c i p a l i t y h a s conducted an information meeting for local businesses to understand the short term inconveniences that may occur.

HTMS Prachuap Khiri Khan Commissioned The Royal Thai Navy (RTN) has commissioned its second Krabi-class missilecapable offshore patrol vessel (OPV).

The ship, HTMS Prachuap Khiri Khan (552), was inducted in a commissioning ceremony at Sattahip, Chonburi.

Prachuap Khiri Khan is the second of two Krabi-class vessels that derive its design from the UK Royal Navy’s River class. It underwent its ceremonial launch at the RTN’s Mahidol Adulyadej Naval Dockyard in August 2019. First-of-class HTMS Krabi (551) was commissioned by the RTN in August 2013.

The Krabi class has an overall length of 90.5 m, an overall beam of 13.5 m, and a draught of 3.5 m. The vessel has a top speed

HUA HIN TODAY, 1 - 15 November 2019

of 25 kt and a range of 3,500 n miles at 15 kt. It can operate in nautical conditions of up to Sea State 5.

Prachuap Khiri Khan is armed with an Oto Melara 76/62 Super Rapid gun in the primary position, two MSI 30 mm guns turrets, and two M2 12.7 mm machine guns.

15 Dental Implants Bringing Back Your Confident Smile removing part of outer surface of adjacent good teeth to add dental crowns linking the bridge. When one of the adjacent teeth has a problem leading to the failure as an anchor, the whole bridge may have to be removed.

The loss of teeth always bring anxiety to patients as it takes away your smile and confidence. When a tooth is missing, the adjacent ones will lean to the gap causing more gaps which will affect your chewing and trapping food bits in the oral cavity resulting in overall health of the patients. Therefore, patients with missing tooth or teeth need a replacement to prevent such problems and regain the confidence.

Dr. Pongsakorn Praserttham, an Oral and Dental Implant Surgeon at Bangkok Hospital Hua Hin shares that dental implant is one of the best treatment options for tooth loss as it is the most effective way to achieve the natural teeth looks. You can chew and speak normally without any concerns that they may move or become loose.

The material used for implantation is titanium which is well accepted by body tissue without reaction. Titanium has been successfully used for dental implantation for the last 30 years with success rate over 90 per cent. The dental implant may be one tooth or multiple teeth and they can be used as an anchor to lock the denture When compared with the dental bridge or fixed dental prosthesis which have been popular for a long time, the advantage for dental implant is that you do not need other teeth for the support. Dental bridges require

Generally, dental implant treatment is divided into 2 phases. The first phase is a surgical process to implant the titanium screw into the jawbone which will be used as an anchor for the new prosthetic tooth.

After the surgery, the new bone will grow in and fix the metal screw which may take 2 – 4 months. The second phase is to attach the abutment which will be used as a stem for the new prosthetic tooth.

Nowadays, with advanced dental technological, the 3D computerized x-rays is used to help the dentists plan their treatments more efficiently.

The process becomes less timeconsuming and improved positioning accuracy of surgery along with improving design and create dental crown in terms of shapes, sizes, and colors similar to the natural teeth of individual patients. Therefore, dental implant treatment is a good option for a complete restoration for tooth loss to regain normal chewing. The costs of the procedure and the time used in the process are worthwhile as the implant is very durable and last a lifetime.

“However, the dental implants require similar treatments as in natural teeth.

Maintaining good oral hygiene by regularly brushing the teeth after eating and before going to bed by using a soft brush together with the dental floss are important. The hard and chewy food may have to be avoided and most importantly, the patients should see a dentist for regular oral and dental check-up at least every 6 months to ensure the health of your teeth including dental implants to last for long term”, Dr. Pongsakorn added.

Bangkok Hospital Hua Hin has a team of dentist specialists to take care of dental patients along with well-equipped with modern dental technologies and high standard sterile technology to ensure the quality of dental services to prevent dental and oral problems with a focus on the patient safety.

Liver Diseases from Alcohol The liver is the second most complicated organ after the brain. This is owing to its abundant functionalities, either in metabolism, digestion, control of sugar and cholesterol levels, recovering the body from an infection, or filtering toxic substances from the body, and so on.

Nowadays, alcohol is one of the main factors contributing to chronic liver disease. Being a heavy drinker can cause many disorders to the liver, starting from fatty liver disease to alcoholic cirrhosis. In normal circumstances, the liver is capable of restoring and rehabilitating itself.

However, a large number of alcohols in an extensive period would have a major effect on the liver, causing some of its cells to die. Such an effect could be up to the damage stage that it cannot revive itself to function as usual anymore.

Liver diseases from alcohol can be divided into 3 stages according to the condition and progression of the disease as follows: • Fatty Liver Disease: the most common disease that can be found in people who drink alcohol for up to 90 percent. Patients often do not have symptoms. In this stage, the liver still able to return to its normal state with no alcohol intake for a period of 4-6 weeks.

• Hepatitis: Can occur to both those who have been drinking a lot of alcohol for a long time and those who drink an excessive amount of alcohol in a short period. For example, people who drink heavily at one time often have acute hepatitis. In some cases, the liver can return to normal. Unfortunately, in some cases, the conditions may develop more severely to liver cirrhosis or death.

• Liver Cirrhosis: this is the last stage of liver diseases from alcohol. If

the patients’ condition is critical to the stage that they get liver cirrhosis, their livers cannot be treated back to the normal stage anymore. The only option available is to stop drinking to prevent the liver from further damages.

Guidelines for Treatment and Prevention There are several options in treating patients with liver diseases from alcohol, namely; the provision of steroids and anti-cytokine drugs to reduce alcohol cravings and decrease the need to drink of the patients, provision of treatment in parallel with nutritional care, or even organ transplantation.

In any case, the treatment for each patient is varied depending on the severity of the disease. Nevertheless, before the conditions aggravate to the last stage that cannot be treated anymore. The best way to cure and prevent liver diseases from alcohol is to stop drinking. This is the best solution for the liver in both the short term and long term. It is also good for the health and body overall.

18 Local Dog Rescuers Join Forces to Sterilise Dogs in Hua Hin

A Higher Profile for Hua Hin’s

Vegetarian Festival

Dedicated Animal lovers from Hua Hin have joined Hin Lek Fai Rescue (a local Animal rescue) and a Bangkok mobile sterilisation clinic named Snip to do a mass sterilisation in Hin Lek Fai Area of Hua Hin. All together 60 dogs and 2 cats from this challenging area were sterilized and vaccinated against Rabies. Most of the dogs were were darted by the experienced SNIP dart team, as most of the dogs live in a Jungle type of habitat and are hard to catch by traps or nets.

The Spay day was a collaboration between local rescues and local businesses, the funding for this project came from generous donors in Hong Kong, USA and locally. Local Businesses such as Take 5 Sports Bar pitched in by donating lunches

HUA HIN TODAY, 1 - 15 November 2019

for the 35 some volunteers, Hua Hin Property Agent 94 donated the space for the clinic and Jungle Aid donated their pick up to move cages and darted dogs on the Spay days.

This project initiaed by Hin Lek Fai Rescue had local and International rescues to help on the days such as Pawss.org, Cha Am Stray Dog Rescue headed by Khun Oranuch, Hua Hin King’s Shelter, Rescue Paws Hong Kong Puppy Rescue, Philippine Dog Rescue and many local individual animal lovers.

The group is already discussing a new Spay project. If you are interested to take part, email: bpersson2020@gmail.com for more information.

It’s fair to say that Thailand’s annual Vegetarian Festival has not usually had a very high profile in Hua Hin. Although traditional red and gold flags feature in the predominantly Chinese sections of downtown markets and those community members with a Chinese heritage may publically follow the traditions of this festival, the very dramatic images of facial piercing and other displays of religious fervour seen in Phuket and other parts of Thailand are not evident on our streets.

However this year the “Vegetarian Festival in Hua Hin 71”, saw the biggest vegetarian food festival in Hua Hin on the open grounds near Soi 71.

Under the concept “Change vegeta rianism; not to be monotonous anymore;” the event may just have forever changed that profile. Held between 4th and 6th

October, the event was opened by Mr Suwat Liptapanlop, as the Chairperson and Dr. Phanop Singhasingh, Governor of Prachuap Khirikhan Province.

Hua Hin Mayor Mr Nopporn Wutthikul and Ms Soraya Homchuen, Director of the TAT Prachuap Khiri Khan Office joining invited guests with Mike Pattaradet and Pooklook Fonthip of TV drama fame.

The opening ceremony included the preparation of a new version of Hua Hin fried rice in a giant three metre container using 500 kilograms of vegan ingredients.

The event continued over three days with celebrity chefs, delicious vegetarian food from 20 restaurants from all over the country, activities including watercolor workshops with natural flower colours, learning how to make organic soap and tie-dying.

Baan Sillapin; Approaching the 20th Anniversary with a Season of Art Exhibitions

In February 2020 Baan Sillapin, AKA the Hua Hin’s Artist Village, will be celebrating a 20th anniversary. Apart from celebrating the realised dreams of the founders, husband and wife and artists in residence Tawee Kasangam and Khun Nang, this will be a celebration of the burgeoning Thailand art scene at Hua Hin’s most welcoming and interactive art gallery.

Each month there will be an exhibition of works by some of the most renowned artists from south East Asia with the second in the offerings being last month’s solo exhibition of the contemporary abstract works of Myanmar artist Thar Gyi. Thar Gyi was born into a family of artists, his uncles being a modernist sculptor and an artist. He says he has never had a ‘real job’ and during his early years and before becoming recognised, the family income was derived from his wife Khin’s skills as a maker of jewelry using the precious stones of Myanmar.

Now he has his own gallery in his home town of Yangon. Thar first created impressionist work from 1998 until 2002. He then changed his style after being inspired by the shadows of the temples on the fields. “The fields were stripped by large horizontal lines.

When I saw that I knew what my new creations would be”. That inspiration was evident in the works on exhibition at Baan Sillapin.

Khun Tawee says the next month long exhibition commencing on 2nd November will feature 50 water colour artists from around Thailand.

Tourism Authority of Thailand Provincial Governor Khun Soraya Homchuen was at the opening of the current exhibition and says she believes art is an international language. The emergence of the Thai art scene and the ability of Baan Sillapin to display the best on offer, adds another welcome ‘new shade’ to Hua Hin’s appeal to tourists from across the world.

22 Thailand’s Tiger Zoos Still Entertaining Tourists to the Dismay of Wildlife Activists Survival concerns for Thailand’s tigers have been featured in a recent article in the New York Times. The article highlights animal welfare issues in Thailand, specifically issues about tigers in captivity. Titled “Thailand Shuttered a Notorious Tiger Zoo, but the Problem Has Only Gotten Worse”, the article describes continuing widespread use of tigers in Thailand as entertainment and how the breeding of tigers in captivity may be a threat to the survival of theses wild animals.

In recent years the number of tigers in captivity — including those remaining in the government’s custody — has tripled to about 2,000, and the number of facilities with captive tigers has grown to 67, with two more under construction. Efforts to stop the spread of hands-on experiences has had little impact with at least 20 zoos around the country offering visitors the chance to feed a cub, have a photo taken with a tiger or enter an enclosure.

Animal welfare activists have long urged the government to shut tiger zoos that are little more than farms producing animals for the black market. “The whole system of animal welfare needs to be upgraded in Thailand,” says Tanya Erzinclioglu, an animal welfare activist. “They need proper zoo standards. Everyone would have to upgrade, including the Department of National Parks.”

One of the country’s oldest and largest zoos, the Sriracha Tiger Zoo in Chonburi Province, has more than 300 tigers. There, piglets and tiger cubs are put together in cages. The smallest cubs and piglets nurse together from a sow or sometimes from a tiger.

At an exhibit called “Shoot ‘n Feed,” tourists fire pellet guns at targets above a tiger pen.

Direct hits release food to waiting tigers, which fight over the scraps.

Elsewhere, visitors line up to have their photos taken as they bottlefeed cubs. Or they can attend a show where tigers perform tricks,

such as jumping through a flaming hoop.

Ms. Erzinclioglu founded a nonprofit group, For Tigers, to help raise funds for their welfare and began conducting annual surveys of zoos. In a July report assessing three dozen zoos open to the public, she concluded that tigers in 74 percent of the facilities were kept in inadequate conditions.

Nearly 60 percent of the zoos had no fresh water for the tigers, she found, and fewer than 20 percent provided spacious enclosures where the animals could move around without restraint or interference from humans. In some zoos, tigers have been trained by handlers to fear being hit with a stick. Many have had their claws removed.

Ms. Erzinclioglu and her team counted 28 tigers at different zoos that were kept on short chains for hours a day so that tourists could pose with them for photos. The zoos cater mainly to tourists from Asian countries.

Young tigers are the most popular with visitors. Older tigers that have outgrown their usefulness are often shunted out of sight to smaller cages with concrete floors. They are the most vulnerable to the illegal trade.

It is not difficult to breed tigers in captivity and many zoos produce far more tigers than they need to entertain tourists.

It is, however, illegal to operate a tiger farm in Thailand.

Edwin Wiek, who operates a wildlife rescue centre in Phetchaburi Province and has advised Thailand’s Parliament, has been tracking the trade for years.

He says that about 20 facilities should be regarded as farms, not zoos, because more than 80 percent of their animals are tigers and the facilities are actively engaged in breeding them. He says captive breeding encourages the hunting of wild tigers.

It may seem counterintuitive, but feeding and raising a tiger to adulthood costs more in Thailand than going to the jungle and

HUA HIN TODAY, 1 - 15 November 2019

shooting one. Mr. Wiek said the existence of tiger farms creates a market for tiger parts, which gives poachers an incentive to kill them. Buyers will pay more for a wild tiger than for one that is farmed. “The farming of tigers is having a direct effect on the wild population,” said Mr. Wiek, who.

“It is much cheaper to go out and shoot one in the wild.”

Tiger skins, bones, penises an d oth e r par ts are h igh ly desired in some Asian countries, particularly for use in so-called traditional medicine. The trade in tiger parts operates so brazenly that at least one company openly offers foreign tourists tiger-bone powder as a supposed health supplement.

The Director of Thailand’s Wildlife Conservation Office, Kanjana Nitaya, whose office ove r s e e s zo o s , s ays a l l o f the country’s zoos meet the requirements of their licenses.

Inspectors frequently visit the zoos and examine the health of the tigers, which they find to be satisfactory.

Zoos offering interaction with tourists have not faced sanctions because they have licenses, she said. The department’s stated role is not to regulate what the zoos do with the animals, but to ensure that they zoos take proper care of them. “It is not our task to tell them their activities,” she said.

The World Wildlife Fund estimates that there are 3,900 wild tigers left on earth, inhabiting isolated fragments of their historic range. Nearly 3,000 are in India, which has made a concerted effort to protect their habitat and increase their numbers.

Thailand is one of the few remaining countries in Southeast Asia with a viable wild tiger population, which numbers about 250. A small population of tigers was recently discovered in an area of northern Thailand where they had not been present for years.

“There is good news in Thailand,” said Tim Redford, a training coordinator at the Freeland Foundation, an environmental and human rights group. “There are still tigers breeding here. It is not a lost cause yet.”

If captive breeding were to become the last resort for saving the tiger, most of Thailand’s captive tigers would not be good candidates.

Many are inbred and most are a mix of tiger subspecies, including Amur tigers, which are native to Siberia and northern China, and Bengal tigers, which are native to India.

Last month 86 tigers out of a total of 147 tigers kept at two wildlife breeding stations in Ratchaburi province died after they were confiscated from Wat Pha Luang Ta Bua, a Buddhist site widely known as the Tiger Temple in Kanchanaburi Province in 2016.

Most of the tigers were captive bred Siberian tigers and did not have natural immunity, rendering them weak and susceptible to diseases.

Tiger Temple used to be a popular tourist attraction where tourists could view tigers close-up, but became embroiled in controversy when it was discovered they were selling tiger parts on the black market.

Perhaps the best strategy for closing down disreputable zoos and tiger farms, say the wildlife activists, is to sterilise the inbred and mixed-breed tigers.

A lack of new cubs would curtail feeding and photo opportunities and over 15 years or so, many problems associated with the tiger zoos and farms would disappear.

4 28 Lake View to Host the 2020 Asian Tour Qualifying School

The Asian Tour has announced details for its 2020 Qualifying School, which will be held in January and February next year.

The Qualifying School comprises of two stages – the First Qualifying Stage and the Final Qualifying Stage.

Both stages of 72 holes will be held at Cha-Am’s Lake View Resort & Golf Club. The First Qualifying Stage will be played over two different weeks; January 8th – 11th and February 12th – 15th 2020.

Top-placed players from the Qualifying Stage will progress to the Final Qualifying Stage which will take place from February 19th to 23rd and will be played over 5 rounds.

The top 70 players (and ties) after 72 holes will play in the pivotal final round,, which will be held on February 23rd.

At the conclusion of 90 holes, the top 35 (and ties) will be ranked accordingly for the 2020 season.

Lake View Resort & Golf Course may not have the profile of some of the region’s more renowned courses but has one significant advantage of regional rivals. The mantra ‘one course, four designs’ means that the course has 4 x 9 holes; designated ‘Mountain’, ‘Lake’, ‘Desert and ‘Links.’ Thirty six holes gives the capacity to host the number of Qualifying School hopefuls.

The variation in style of each nine holes means golfers must adapt to different styles of play; a useful ability on the Asian Tour. There is also on-course accommodation for those wanting to maintain their focus during the taxing schedule.

Asian Tour Commissioner and Chief Executive Officer Cho Minn Thant is confident the 2020 Qualifying School will

First Somtawin

Witaedsuksa Huay Mongkhon Basketball League Cup

be another success as hopefuls aim to emulate the success of Thai duo Sadom Kaewkanjana and Kosuke Hamamoto on Tour this season.

Sadom became the fastest Qualifying School graduate to win on Tour when he won on his first professional start on Tour at the Bangabandhu Cup Golf Open earlier in April.

Kosuke, on the other hand, retained his card for the 2020 season after just five starts this season.

“The Asian Tour has unearthed many promising talents through the Qualifying School over the years. Our recent champion Yikeun Chang of Korea is also one of them. He had topped the class in 2016 prior to his breakthrough in Chinese Taipei last month.”

“Qualifying School is a grueling process but it gives players, both professionals and amateurs, the opportunity to earn their place on the Asian Tour in 2020. The competition is going to be intense but the rewards will be massive for successful entrants,” said Cho. Austen Truslow of the United States topped the class when he signed off his marathon week with a closing sixunder-par 65 to secure his Tour card Last year, Thailand’s Naras Luangphetcharaporn recorded the first ever 59 on the Asian Tour en route to securing his Tour card for the 2019 season. 2018 Qualifying School graduate Viraj Madappa became the youngest Indian winner on Tour last year, at the age of 20.

American Kurt Kitayama, who also came through the 2018 Qualifying School, rose through the ranks after breaking through in Mauritius last December.

The talented 26-year-old would go on to secure his maiden win on the European Tour earlier in March.

Other successful graduates include Australian Zach Murray, who won the 2019 New Zealand Open in what was his third start on Tour this season, as well as John Catlin of the United States, who marked his name in the Asian Tour history books by becoming the 10th golfer in Tour history to win three times in a single season last year.

The illustrious alumni include Thongchai Jaidee and Kiradech Aphibarnrat of Thailand, Korea’s Noh Seung-yul, United States’ David Lipsky and Australian Scott Hend, who are all Asian Tour Order of Merit champions.

The Somtawin Witaedsuksa Huamongkhon League Cup is an inter-school basketball tournament for under 17 boys held throughout October and November 2019 at Somtawin School and culminating in the Grand Final at True Arena on the 7th December.

A total of six schools from Hua Hin will be competing to be crowned champions after a total of 17 games.

The Grand Opening was held on the 22nd October and featured the opening match between Somtawin Witaedsuksa Huamongkhon and Beaconhouse Yamsaard.

Both team showed excellent determination, teamwork and sportsmanship during the match with Somtawin winning 45-30.

James Martin, the tournament Chairman, says “We believe Hua Hin is missing organised and structured sporting competition between schools. We are hoping to change this and our tournament will be the first step to bringing the schools of Hua Hin closer together. Once we have this structure in place, we will be able to replicate the event across other sports and ages for both boy’s and girl’s teams. This is a very exciting time for the schools of Hua Hin and I am delighted to be involved in promoting unity through sport.” `The organisers wish to thank sponsors including Webster University, Clayworks, True Arena, Market Village, Stamford University and SS Academy. Mr. Ekwara Wattanajit, the Director of Somtawin School has also given his full support in making this tournament possible.

At the time or writing, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fears that a heavy defeat in Manchester United’s game at home to Liverpool could put his job as manager in jeopardy. A number of United players have lost faith in the Norwegian and he believes some of them have stopped listening to him.

Hamilton’s first win in four grands prix inched him closer to a sixth world title and came after Ferrari’s chances of victory fell apart following controversy over Leclerc’s team-mate Sebastian Vettel disobeying team orders.

Ferrari’s pre-race plan was for Leclerc to tow Vettel down into the first corner to remove the risk of Hamilton, starting second, taking the lead.

Leclerc played his side of the bargain, but once Vettel was in the lead, he refused a demand to let his team-mate back past him.

317 Scotland’s Gregor Townsend ‘surprised’ by scrum penalty: Rugby World Cup Japan 2019

Andy Murray to make Grand Slam return at Australian Open

Japan benefited from “an incredible call” to earn a bonus point in their World Cup victory over Samoa, says Scotland head coach Gregor Townsend.

The host nation crashed over for a stoppage-time try in a 38-19 win after Samoa were punished for a squint scrum feed on their own five-metre line.

Japan meet the Scots in the hosts’ final pool match on Sunday.

“I’ve never seen a crooked feed [penalised], at the World Cup or in the Six Nations,” said Townsend.

“I think it’s an incredible call to be honest. It’s something that has not been refereed and there’s been an agreement that there is more latitude for scrum-halves putting the ball in because you are the team that’s won the scrum.

“To see it in a World Cup really surprised me. To see it as we went into injury time for a game-changing decision was an even bigger surprise.”

Britain’s Andy Murray will make his Grand Slam singles return at the Australian Open in January.

Murray, 32, is a five-time runner-up in Melbourne and he has been given a special protected ranking of number two.

At this year’s Australian Open, the three-time Grand Slam champion said he feared it could be the last tournament of his career due to a hip injury.

January saw surgery for the Scot and he reached his first singles quarter-final in more than a year at the China Open in October.

On announcing his return, the Australian Open said Murray would “return to the main draw with a protected ranking of number two and restored physical powers”.

Currently ranked 289th in the world, Murray lost to Italy’s world number 12 Fabio Fognini in the second round of the Shanghai Open in October.

At 36, former world number one Kim Clijsters could also feature at the 2020 Grand Slam event.

Juan Manuel Correa: “still processing everything”

Comparisons with Seve for Rahm

The 20-year-old underwent a 17-hour operation in London on a month ago.

The Ecuadorian-American said the aftermath was “tougher than anything I have ever faced both physically and mentally”.

He faces up to a year of rehabilitation as he recovers from spinal injuries and two broken legs.

A statement released a month ago said: “Doctors expect Juan Manuel will be able to leave the hospital in approximately six weeks.

“He will then embark on the road to recovery. The next year will be full of physical therapy, rehabilitation and corrective surgeries with the aim and objective of regaining the full use of his right foot and ankle.”

It may not have been against the strongest field, but Jon Rahm’s latest victory inextricably linked him to one of golf’s alltime greats and gave further evidence that he is one of the most important talents in the game.

At 24, the burly Spaniard entered the record books by notching his fifth European Tour triumph through a commanding win at the Open de Espana in Madrid.

His five successes on the continental tour have come in just 39 appearances, superseding the great five-time major winner Seve Ballesteros, who needed 10 more tournaments before collecting a fifth victory.

It is a stat that is hard to ignore. Rahm is currently enjoying a faster winning rate than a fellow Spaniard who went on to collect 50 European Tour titles.

“He did turn pro a lot earlier than I did so age-wise I think he’s beaten me,” Rahm conceded.

“Still, to beat Seve in something, it’s unbelievable. He’s one of the main references from European golf.”

Formula 2 driver Juan Manuel Correa has spoken publicly for the first time since being severely injured in the crash which killed Anthoine Hubert at the Belgian Grand Prix.

10 34 The Hua Hin and Cha-Am Golf Festival; Let’s Make it Bigger & Better

The final tournament of the 2019 Hua Hin and Cha-Am Golf Festival has taken place at the Sea Pine Golf Course.

This followed a ‘season’ of weekly competitions with most regional golf courses offering reduced price greenfees everyday as an incentive for golfers to visit Hua Hin during August and September.

Golf Courses decked out for their Golf Festival Tournaments This was the 18th edition of the annual Festival which has received a mixed response over the years. Khun Suwit Ruengroongrueng, the President of the Phetchaburi and Prachuap Khiri Khan Golf Association, the festival organisers, was in a pensive mood when we talked to him before he took to the golf course “just for the exercise” on the final day of the festival.

Khun Suwit Ruengroongrueng, the President of the Prachuap Khiri Khan Golf Association managing the final golf festival event at Sea Pine Golf Course with ‘secretary’, Springfield’s Sivamin Indamra (Khun Bom).

Khun Suwit expressed some disappointment with a decline in the number of Bangkok golfers this year. He’s well aware that an overall decline in tourism throughout Thailand has had a big effect on the golfing industry which has led to golf courses, including many around Bangkok, offering many ‘special deals’. This year an unfortunate side effect has been reducing the appeal of the Golf Festival to Bangkok golfers.

But the golf festival will go on and Khun Suwit has some plans on how to make it bigger and better. He was heading to Kuala Lumper within a few days to survey the potential market for Malaysian golfers. Direct KL to Hua Hin flights now provides a very obvious source of future participants as some local golfing entrepreneurs have already realised.

For those who are very eager to spread the word timely information is vital. In recent years confirmation of the arrangements has been released only weeks before the commencement. That short notice has been a source of frustration for this promotion. Overseas golfers need months, not weeks to book their trip!

Mr. Tanes Petsuwan, TAT Deputy Governor for Marketing Communications (left) added his support

In contrast that with perhaps the most successful ‘off season’ golf event for visiting golfers, the CENTARA WORLD MASTERS GOLF CHAMPIONSHIP, with registrations already open for the 2020 event happening from 7th to 13th June. Every year more than 500 golfers visiting attend this event. Khun Suvit readily acknowledges that more timely information is required and says that the promotion of next year’s event is likely to commence in April.

Locally designed coconut trophies were a popular feature of this year’s festival tournaments Khun Suvit and the broader golfing fraternity are hugely proud of Hua Hin winning the International Association of Golf Tour Operators Award for Golf Destination of the Year for Asia 2019. This was the second time that Hua Hin has won the award, the last being in 2014.

However this accolade has not resulted in a higher status for the annual festival. This festival deserves to be internationally recognised and bigger and better in 2020!

Unrepaired Roads: The Safety Concern In Khao Tao Khao Tao is a peaceful village surrounded by many interesting tourist attractions and beautiful surroundings, only 14 km south of Hua Hin. Also known as the first reservoir in Thailand, developed as a Royal Project, it is rapidly becoming recognized as a relaxing vacation or retirement location for many foreigners, as well as locals from Bangkok and other areas. There are numerous businesses, condominium projects and luxurious European styled villa complexes popular with retired or holidaying foreigners who have found their scenic place in Thailand to relax, recharge the batteries and enjoy all the benefits that this piece of Thai paradise offers.

However, there is one major concern in the eyes of the locals and foreigners living in the area, and that is – Road Safety.

In Thailand, road accidents are unfortunately happening quite often. Even though the majority of reasons for the occurring accidents are drivers being distracted by their phone, drunk driving or speeding, in Khao Tao the major concern are the large potholes on one particular road, that have been growing bigger in size year by year. Returning back to Phetkasem Road through the Phrartchadamri Road behind the lake and heading south towards the cove of Sai Noi beach, there is a local road (Google maps coordinates: 12.450255, 99.969323) on the right side past Zaithong Hydrofarm, which is the main access to Phetkasem road for all the residents and business in the area such as the Thai House Resort, Tropical Paradise Garden, The Memory House, Manora Village Hua Hin, Sanae Beach Club and many others.

Even though there have been major road repairs conducted in Khao Tao, and many roads being made new, this is the only road left untouched by the authorities without clear indication on when this road could finally be repaired. Since it is the most used road in the area, the residents are wondering; why is this road still not fixed?

HUA HIN TODAY, 1 - 15 November 2019

The local community has been appealing for years to the local authorities, without positive results.

Since there are many senior residents commuting this road daily on their motorbikes, and cars often swerving to avoid the large potholes, this road indeed became a major safety concern for both residents and visitors of this lovely part of Hua Hin, where unpleasant driving occurrences happen on a daily basis.

Due to the high season approaching, the residents and local businesses are wondering if steps are being taken to resolve this matter.

14 38 Black Mountain Awarded as Thailand’s Best; Once Again!

The 20th edition of IAGTO’s prestigious annual golf tourism awards has taken place in Marrakech on 17th October. In a continuation of its award-winning ways, Hua Hin’s Black Mountain Golf Course was awarded Thailand’s Best Golf Course Experience.

The IAGTO is the global trade association of the golf tourism industry. For the past 20 years these annual Awards have represented the pinnacle of achievement for golf destinations, reflecting the opinions of golf tour operators, golf travel writers and, ultimately, the golf traveller.

Portugal’s Algarve took the top prize as the global Golf Destination of the Year at the climax of the glitzy IAGTO Awards ceremony attended by well over 1,000 IGTM delegates.

IAGTO has over 700 golf tour operators in 63 countries.

In a format change, one overall Golf Destination of the Year was announced instead of one for each of five geographical regions. Accordingly the award presented last year to Hua Hin as the 2019 Golf Destination of the Year for the Asia/Pacific Region, was not available this year.

However IAGTO unveiled a new category of Golf Experience Awards where one golf course in each of twenty-

HUA HIN TODAY, 1 - 15 November 2019

five countries were recognised for the outstanding experience that they delivered

for visiting golf travellers. In this category Black Mountain was recognised as the Thailand winner. Black Mountain is already the most widely-acclaimed golf course in Thailand, winning numerous local and international awards.

Black Mountain Golf Club, Hua Hin, received the IAGTO Golf Experience of the Year Award for Thailand. Attending the event was Black Mountain’s Managing Director, Harald Elisson: “Each and every one of the many accolades that Black Mountain Golf Club has garnered over the years are very special to us. The IAGTO Golf Experience of the Year award is particularly significant as it was international golf industry travel

organisations that, out of all of the great golfing experiences in Thailand, voted Black Mountain Number one” said Harald Elisson.

Cambodia was voted Undiscovered Golf Destination of the Year; an award which arguably Hua Hin will never achieve as a well-discovered and recognised golfing destination.

The Sheraton Hua Hin; Showcasing Local Cuisine at the Hua Hin Chef’s Table

Hua Hin Chef’s Table held its 8th event of the 2019 season at the fabulous Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa and true to Sheraton form, the night certainly did not disappoint.

Executive Chef Jakub Mares and his team designed a menu that showcased local produce from entrées through to desserts.

Living La Vida Local was the theme of the night, focusing on produce from both Prachuap Khiri Khan and Phetchaburi. The many and varied dishes were mainly Thai favourites and were well executed, allowing the flavours of the ingredients to shine through. Wines were from the wonderful Monsoon Valley and the seaside setting, on the lawn at Luna Lanai Restaurant, made for a great night of food and wine.

Speaking of Chef Jakub, he has an affinity with Thai flavours, but also really

enjoys searching for local farmers who are putting out extraordinary produce. He made special mention of the Thai Sturgeon Farm, a facility right here in Hua Hin “world’s best” practices to produce world class fish; the long-awaited caviar to finally be available in the next few months.

Sturgeon was one of the featured dishes on the menu and was dressed with a ratatouille-style sauce of tomatoes, capers and anchovies and served with a warm focaccia bread.

The other feature of the night was the signature dish of the Sheraton; a spicy salad made from dalah flower petals with pork, local banana prawns and cashew nuts.

The vibrant pink, slightly chewy flower petals made this a spectacularly textural dish to eat and not one that you see regularly on

menus around the region. The live cooking stations had fried local oyster omelettes cooking, freshly sliced crispy pork and a wok station. This consisted of asparagus from Chang Hua Mun Royal Project and shrimps and was utterly delicious. Another highlight was a spicy red curry with seafood and local pineapple, a family recipe from Chef Sunee, who originates from Phetchaburi province.

On the buffet side was a cold locally grown tomato consommé served with tiny nuggets of mozzarella; this was a great palate cleanser to start. There were also some crowd favourites such as Salt & Pepper Squid served with 3 sauces, a barbequed Pranburi red snapper with fresh vegetables and a local favourite of deep fried sand fish with garlic, crispy lime leaves and a Sri Racha sauce.

There is nothing better than Thai desserts and there was a selection of five different sweets to choose from. The Pranburi

Pineapple in Jelly was a textural sensation along with the beautifully smooth Coconut Ice Cream served in a Coconut Shell; this had an assortment of different accompaniments you could add to compliment it. Mulberries are in season now and these were made into miniature mousses; the berries shining through exquisitely.

It was a terrific, yet all-too-brief two hours of food and wine with a high quality 4-piece band playing a mixture of tunes to entertain the crowd. The setting was magical, with the lights of the fishing boats in the Gulf and of Hua Hin town itself, all seeming to shine just for us; the well-trained and attentive staff simply taking the whole experience to another level.

There are more Hua Hin Chef’s Table events coming up in November, which will see the last of events take place. See full details at the Hua Hin Chef’s Table Facebook page.

477 The Joy in Making Thai Curry Pastes from Scratch In this modern world, buying a pre made curry paste is hassle free; using a blender to mash up all the ingredients can also be very convenient, especially if you are time-poor or not so confident in the kitchen. So why should you spend the time to use a mortar and pestle and grind up your own curry pastes?

There are a number of great reasons to do this, but one standout reason is the ability to guarantee there are no additives in the paste, such as preservatives; just fresh ingredients. You can also control the texture and flavour of the paste when doing it by hand.

Should you want a paste that with intense flavour yet not so

high in heat, you can adjust it to your taste. Mass-produced pastes are generally extremely smooth, lacking the textural element you get from having at it with a mortar and pestle.

Your paste will have a ‘freshness’ which a paste in a tin or jar will lack. In the end, it’s your decision; do you want an authentic

tasting dish, or are you happy to simply get by?

Controlling the heat, especially for Thai curries, can be important for some, as they may prefer it more or less spicy. You may want to control the heat but not comprise the flavour.

The pounding of the fresh or dried chillies allows the flavours to truly amalgamate, especially if you like it hotter. Yes you can add extra chilli to a premade paste, but by and large the flavour will not integrate as well.

Blender vs Mortar and Pestle Throwing all the ingredients into a blender is a fast, convenient way to produce a paste and many recipes will direct you to do just this.

You will certainly be able to control the ingredients you put

in to suit your taste, but you may lose the required texture. There are many curries where you really do need some texture for that rustic mouthfeel; Massaman or Green curries spring to mind.

The trick to making any paste is to have all your ingredients measured, prepared and ready to go. You then add them one by one, with the harder ingredients going in first. Often a small amount of sea salt will be a perfect abrasive to help break down the harder ingredients.

If you make too much, it is easy to keep by covering it with a bit of oil and some cling film, however the longer you leave it, the more the flavours will dissipate, so don’t make too much more than you need.

Fresh Is Best!
