Koh Chang

lthough Pattaya is a great place to come on holiday, sometimes it’s nice to get away for a couple of days or more to explore the surrounding regions. Walking Street isn’t the be-all-end-all you know? One great getaway place to discover, 4 to 5 hours from the city by car is the tropical island of Koh Chang.

Koh Chang is Thailand’s second largest island, and the biggest in Eastern Thailand. With about 5,000 permanent residents the island is not heavily populated, but tourism (and development) has increased dramatically over the last few years. Located in Trat Province, about 300 kilometers east of Bangkok and not far from the Cambodian border, Koh Chang is 70% covered by unspoiled rainforest. Now serviced by an airport just 15 minutes from the ferry terminal in Trat, Koh Chang is more easily accessible than ever before.

Drawn to Koh Chang’s pristine beaches and sparkling water, more well-to-do Thai and international travelers have been discovering Koh Chang and numerous luxury spas and resorts have sprung up to cater to them. Nonetheless, the island is still a dream destination for budget travelers and families, with a wide variety of affordable accommodation options and numerous gorgeous and tranquil beaches surrounded by crystal clear water. In addition to natural beauty, the island is also home to a wide range of wildlife, including native birds, snakes, deer, and even a number of elephants. As for activities, Koh Chang and the nearby islands that make up the national park are great for snorkeling, diving, camping, and jungle hiking. The majority of tourists stay at Hat Sai Khao, Hat Kai Muk, Hat Ta Nam, and Laem Bang Bao, all of which are linked by a single road running down the west coast. Getting to Koh Chang It takes approximately between 4 and 5 hours to drive to Koh Chang by car and is 270km in distance. You could rent a car and drive there yourself or hire a taxi. We would recommend hiring a car as you can also explore the island at your own pace. There are daily buses and mini-buses connecting Pattaya and Koh Chang, so get down to Pattaya Bus Station on Pattaya Tai to organize a bus. If you are driving to the island, take Route 3 from Pattaya and that will take you to the ferry terminal where you can drive directly onto Koh Chang. PattayaCityUncovered.com

THAI INHERITANCE LAW

By: Magna Carta Law Office

n Thailand, when a person dies without a Last Will and Testament, the intestate’s assets must be distributed in accordance with the law. As stipulated in The Civil and Commercial Code Section 1629, there are six classes of statutory heirs in Thailand. Each class is entitled to inherit in the following order; 1. Descendants 2. Parents 3. Brothers and sisters of full blood 4. Brothers and sisters of half blood 5. Grandfathers and grandmothers 6. Uncles and aunts The right of a surviving spouse to share in the estate of a deceased spouse arises automatically from marital status. Spouses who are under separation do not lose the right of inheritance to one another as long as divorce between them has not been granted according to law. Ordinances awarding such rights of a surviving spouse make the spouse a statutory heir. Before any distribution of the estate to the relatives, half of the estate (community property or in Thai, Sin Somros) will belong to the spouse, if any, and the other half will be distributed accordingly. Land and Condominium Inheritance A foreigner who acquires a condominium unit by inheritance, either as a legal heir under a Last Will and Testament or as a statutory heir, shall acquire the property ownership if the condominium unit is within the foreign quota and the foreigner qualifies for ownership. Otherwise, it is required by law that the foreigner shall dispose of the unit within 1 year from the date of acquisition. If it is not disposed of within such period of time, the Director-General of Land Department shall have the power to sell the condominium unit on the foreigner’s behalf. Foreigners are not allowed to own or inherit land in Thailand. Any foreigner who inherits land must dispose of the land within 1 year as prescribed by the Director-General. If such time period elapses, the Director-General shall have power to dispose of such land. Leased Properties A major disadvantage of lease in Thailand is that the contract and the right of possession is terminated upon death of the lessee and is not automatically transferable by inheritance. Although the lease agreement must include a succession clause, this does not offer full legal guarantee for the lessee’s heirs.

PattayaCityUncovered.com

Debts The creditors of an estate are entitled to be paid only out of the property of the estate. Debts due by the estate shall be paid in the following order and in accordance with the provisions of the Thailand Civil and Commercial Code concerning preferential rights: 1. Expenses incurred for the common benefit of the estate 2. Expenses incurred for the funeral of the deceased 3. Taxes and rates due by the estate 4. Wages due by the deceased to any clerk, servant or workman 5. Supplies of daily necessities made to the deceased 6. Remuneration for the administrator Unless otherwise provided by the deceased or by law, the property of the deceased shall be appropriated to the payment of debts in the following order: 1. Property other than immovable property 2. Immovable property expressly appropriated to that purpose by will, if any; 3. Immovable property to which the statutory heirs are entitled as such; 4. Immovable property bequeathed to a person upon the condition that he shall pay the debts off the deceased; 5. Immovable property bequeathed under general title; 6. Any specific property bequeathed under a particular title Any property appropriated under the foregoing provisions shall be sold by way of public auction, but any heir may prevent such sale by paying, to the extent required for the satisfaction of the creditors, the value of the whole or part of the property as may be determined by an appraiser appointed by the Court. A statutory heir or a legatee under a general title is not bound to execute legacies under a particular title for more than the amount of property received by him. The administrator is not bound to deliver the estate or any part thereof to the heirs before one year has elapsed from the deceased’s date of death, unless all the known creditors of the estate and legatees have been satisfied with the performance and distribution.

From customers’ reactions it became obvious that the distinction between the fovea vision (the sharp central vision) and the peripheral vision (the side vision for orientation) had to be taken into consideration. Prior to the hard progressive lenses experience it was believed that these two vision elements, although known to be independent from each other, were not of a big concern as their interactions were not affected by the single vision and bifocal lenses. As the hard progressive lenses affected the peripheral vision and consequently the visual comfort, the sides’ aberrations inerrant to the spherical concept had to disappear, which is an impossibility despite the different surface designs that could only reduce the aberrations intensity, so the only possibility was to use small eye-size frames in order to cut out these disturbing areas.

Vision Correction & Progressive Lenses - Part 2/5

ollowing on from last month’s article on Vision Correction and Progressive Lenses, please see part 2 of 5 below, written by Dr. Maria Abalon, Optometrist at Euro Optic, located on Pattaya 2nd Road, opposite the Royal Garden Plaza.

HARD PROGRESSIVE SURFACES Under these conditions it was obvious that another solution, something more customer-oriented, was needed. The first progressive lens was an extension of the bifocal and trifocal concept with their spherical structure presented so high aberrations on the sides of the lenses that customers experienced balance discomfort, spatial disorientation, tunnel vision and narrow reading.

PattayaCityUncovered.com

At first it was thought that the discomfort, due to customer complaints, was due to the narrow reading part of the lens, implying constant adjustments while reading, so manufacturers created wider reading areas, compressing the side aberrations on narrow areas making them worst and consequently increasing the discomfort.

So different designs were created considering different possibilities such as longer progression intended for reducing the aberrations intensities placed the reading part too low, forcing wearers to raise their head to an unnatural position leading to neck discomfort and pain. Spreading the aberrations over the whole surface affected the far peripheral vision. Placing the aberrations on the lower sides of the lenses made them more intense whatever was done. The remaining disturbances did not allow natural vision, making it obvious that the peripheral vision was overseen as an important role.

It became logical to associate progressive lenses with difficulties; an inherent problem that customers have to overcome themselves, and professionals kept on warning customers of the difficulties. As the spherical concept reached a dead end, the only possibility was the aspherical concept which was already in use for single vision lenses.

To make things worse, the arrival of new fashionable large frames pushed us to use bigger lens sizes with consequently stronger aberrations disturbing more intensively the peripheral vision while affecting the visual comfort and finally the person’s wellbeing. Add 1.00

Best International Dental Services in Pattaya @

German Dental Clinic

Taking care of your teeth is extremely important, and it can also be very expensive, especially in the Western World. Many people visit Pattaya just to have dental treatments, largely because of the excellent facilities with an affordable price thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right. Please ensure you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t compromise in the face of affordability. The German Dental Clinic, located on Thappraya Road Soi 9 in Jomtien, is the place you go for international level dentistry with Asian prices. 1. When was the German Clinic first established? Our clinic opened over 21 years in the same location as today. We started as an export laboratory for artificial teeth which were sent all over Europe. From there, we developed into a dental clinic where we are right now, with 4 dentists and 38 employees in our own dental laboratory and clinic. 2. What characterizes the German Dental Clinic? The main advantage is that we have our own, private dental laboratory, trained and managed by a German Master Dental Technologist. Therefore, we can produce every kind of artificial teeth or dentitions within 2 days to one week. To guarantee a high German quality, all the work is checked by one of our German specialists. For the production of our restorations, we use only high-quality materials, with prestigious brand names, imported from Germany, Switzerland or Liechtenstein. 3. What are the most popular treatments that your customers ask for? Besides the usual dental treatments like cleaning and filling, most of the time we have to do crowns and complex removable dentures for our patients. Here, the people can walk with temporally teeth, without being seen by friends, colleagues and neighbors. This is the reason why many people pick a holiday for their big treatments. Almost every day, we do very big restorations such as 28 Crowns or removable telescopic bridges for the whole mouth. 4. What experience do your specialists have? Each of our doctors has a special field in which they have been working for many years. Our main doctor for example is a specialist in Root Canal Treatment and implantation and has worked in 40

PattayaCityUncovered.com

our clinic for 10 years already. Based on the huge amount of foreign customers, this doctor for example, has treated so many patients, that their experience is comparable or even better than that of a German dentist. 5. Do you offer any dental services that are unique in Pattaya? Our specialty is the Telescopic system, which is a technique for a removable denture in case the patient has only few teeth left. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a German system, and still very popular in Europe, especially in Germany. With Telescopic dentures we can prevent bone loss, give back their esthetic appeal, improve the speech (when compared with other types of dentures), and improve the chewing efficiency. This system is extendable, whenever teeth get lost, and a very good alternative to implant systems. PattayaCityUncovered.com

LIVE MUSIC IN WALKING STREET @

Rolling Live Bar 2

alking Street is a cacophony of bars and entertainment, the likes of which we rarely see in the world. For all the beer and girlie bars, the street doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have much in the way of live music. But if you are looking for one of the best venues to experience a live band in Pattaya, the Rolling Live 2 Bar, nestled amidst Walking Street, is the ultimate venue in the city.

PattayaCityUncovered.com

When looking for the best live music and atmosphere, the Rolling Live 2 Bar is something unique. Located on Walking Street, just 500 metres from Pattaya Beach Road, Rolling Live 2 showcases live music every night, accentuated by the lovely and friendly hostess girls on the premises.

Whether you seek somewhere to get away for a couple of hours, a game of pool, or to listen to classic rock tunes, Rolling Live is the best choice.

The bar, which was once known as Rolling Stones 2 Bar, plays a great selection of classic rock/pop music with no rap or dance music whatsoever, making a unique night out on Walking Street, as most of the other music venues focus more on modern music such as dance and hip-hip. Audience participation is what makes a visit to Rolling Live so special. The audience are nearly always on their feet, dancing the night away without a care in the world, which is perfectly aligned to the holiday-atmosphere ethos of the bar.

The Rolling Live chain of bars have a few branches throughout the city, on Soi 8 and 7, and in the heart of the action on Walking Street. Do something different, have a change from the myriad of girlie bars and go-go bars that fill the city by visiting one of the best live music venues in Pattaya. Let your hair down, get dirty, jig the night away, and most importantly, enjoy yourself at the Rolling Live 2 Bar on Walking Street.
