What’s Inside:

UK expats to keep personal allowance

he UK government has confirmed the continued availability of UK personal allowances for expats until April 2017 at least. Moreover, the taxfree personal allowance for all will increase to 10,600 pounds from next month. This is welcome news for the five million Brits who live abroad and were fearful, following a statement in the British budget last year, that non-residents would start paying income tax from the first pound of their income. The issue has been very sensitive in Thailand which has about 70,000 British expats living here most or all of the year, many retired people living on fixed incomes or state pensions. They stood to lose at least 2,000 pounds a year, if tax relief had been abolished, or 4,000 pounds for a married couple.

“Beautiful Homes Deserve Beautiful uPVC Windows and Doors”

The British government now states, “Last year the government launched a consultation on whether or not to restrict the income tax personal allowance for non-residents. Whilst the government believes there is a strong rationale for doing this, it recognizes it is a complex change for both employers and individuals who may be affected. The government will continue to discuss implementation of this change with stakeholders. Should the government decide to proceed, a more detailed consultation will be undertaken. No change will come into effect before April 2017.” Tax specialists say that the government has backed down, at least for now, because there are too many categories of expats to fit a one-size-fits-all solution.

Helipad rapists arrested Four alleged gang members have been arrested following the rape of an 18-year-old woman at a Pattaya helipad. The gang members, aged from 17 to 20, grabbed the woman and her boyfriend, holding a facial-foam tube to the boyfriendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face as other gang members dragged her to a wood where she was raped. After the attack, it is alleged that the violators stole 4,000 baht from the couple before fleeing on motorbikes. Police said cases like this harmed the tourist image of Pattaya and promptly distributed sketches of the suspects who were apprehended in Nonthaburi following a tip-off from a worthy member of the public. The suspects were paraded in front of a press conference before being formally charged and jailed pending their trial. The oldest suspect Suchart Polpao, 20, admitted the rape but disclaimed any responsibility for the missing cash.

Fake police Three farang harass reporter attacked in

the street

Tiwakorn Kritmanee, 25 and a reporter for a local newspaper, has complained officially to the police after a fake cop claimed that Tiwakorn was in possession of illegal drugs which he had tried to throw away when challenged. However, it transpired at the scene that the accuser was simply a traffic volunteer posing as a real policeman. When challenged, the fraudster changed his tune and said the drugs might well belong to somebody else, but the unsavory business is now being investigated by proper police authorities. There have been several recent reports about fake police officers trying to extort cash from both Thais and foreigners.

Three foreign men were set upon by a large group of Thai teens after emerging from a drinking den and entertainment palace on Soi Buakhao. A waiter told police that there was a language problem outside the licensed premises which led to miscommunication and violence. The three farang fortunately were not seriously wounded and police are currently examining CCTV evidence, if any, in an attempt to put names to faces.

Yakuza gang guy nabbed Following a request from the Japanese embassy, local police arrested Japanese Yakuza member Shin-iji Nakata at a Pattaya condo. The gang is alleged to have organized a boiler-room scam in

which people were duped by phone calls inviting them to purchase bonds worth about 22 million baht. Arrest warrants were issued and, so far, 20 members have been caught by police. Nakata

There was no sign of violence in the room and police added there were not any suspicious circumstances. The Italian embassy has been informed and an autopsy scheduled at the police hospital in Bangkok.

News UK expats to keep personal allowance Continued from page 1 John Dolan, who is based in Thailand, said “There is all the difference in the world between retirees living here on small pensions and wealthy individuals with jobs in Thailand and property in UK which they rent out. If the scheme had been introduced, the pensioners would have been worst hit.” Jon Preshaw, of the Chartered Institute of Taxation, said it was good news as the proposals would have made the tax system unduly

complicated. He added that many expat pensioners are already hit by the freezing of the old age pension without the annual increase which UK residents enjoy. Many Pattaya-based British retirees say they are much relieved by the government announcement. “Seeing my income dramatically shrink would have meant I would have needed to go back to the UK where I could claim various benefits,” said 72-year-old Andrew Littleton. “Living in Thailand is more expensive

than it used to be, especially if you fall ill, and the British government should be supporting rather than penalizing us to stay abroad.” In separate developments, the UK government is planning to charge capital gains on British property sold by non-residents from April 2015. But children will benefit from reforms to air passenger duty which is being scrapped for under-12s this year and for all children under 16 from next year. However, to enjoy the benefit, they must be flying economy class.

School committed to clean living

DARE, the anti-drug campaign, held a closing ceremony at Aksorn Pattaya School where students in grade 6 had been chosen to head up the ongoing attempt to discourage

youths from taking up illegal habits which are detrimental to health. Students were given a certificate and the school received a flag to confirm the strategy of the campaign.

Kindergarten project underway

Students want to be teachers

Director of School Number 11, Jeerasak Jitsom, presided over a seminar to give advice to youngsters who are planning a career as teachers. The meeting covered such issues as

salaries, qualifications, training, stability of employment, the importance of ethics and applying His Majesty the King’s precepts into the school curriculum.

The Pattaya Education Department deputy director, Supranee Jinda, presided over a new project to develop the creative skills and strength of young children. There will be contests of

individuals and teams in drawing, writing, dancing and making trinkets. Most Pattaya schools joined in the enterprise which was hosted by the public library.

News Cleaning up Walking Street

Horror ciggies Thailand’s 10 million smokers are standing by for more gruesome pictures and captions on cigarette packets. The public health authorities want, amongst other messages, to include the caption Cigarette Smoke Contains Ratsbane. You are right – it’s rat poison. Facebook scam A group of Africans, based in Pattaya, pretended on social media to be handsome and eligible western bachelors looking for Thai brides. They managed to scam millions of baht out of gullible Thai women. Who said only farang get ripped off here?

Deputy Chonburi governor Chamnanwit Terat presided over a one-day cleanup of Pattaya’s Walking Street district in which volunteers collected lots of garbage and

swept the sois clean. The idea was to impress residents and tourists by making the resort’s key entertainment area wholesome and fresh.

Bureau helps Lucky Britain slum children regains wallet

Pensions relief As reported on this issue’s front page, British pensioners here are heaving a sigh of relief that they won’t lose their 10,600 pounds tax relief by way of the personal allowance. Most are not wealthy. Indeed, finding 800,000 baht for the retirement pension is a real headache for some. Beach reforms What nobody seems able to answer is why the latest beach policies at Jomtien, which include forcing people to relax in very close proximity to their neighbour and having no services on a Wednesday, is actually a way of returning the sandy area to public control, as claimed by the military. Pyongyang dreams Now that North Korea is again allowing tourists to visit, there is just time to escape the Pattaya Songkran by booking for the Kim Il Sung Birthday Tour. He was by the way born on the day the Titanic sank. If you want to join in the April marathon, please remember to bring your own running shoes. Second UK passports In answer to a query, these are difficult to obtain. You need to be an international businessman and your employer needs to provide a very chunky letter explaining in detail why you can’t manage with one like everyone else. The key is to “explain in detail”. Special insoles A reader asks where in Pattaya you can buy those special insoles which fit into your shoes if you suffer badly from foot or heel pain. The only place we know is the large Boots in the Royal Garden Plaza. Smaller pharmacies in town don’t seem to stock them. Clothes a no-no International companies such as Amazon won’t ship clothes to Thailand because of Thai import regulations which means an individual can’t obtain certain commodities such as what you wear. Some companies might agree to ship to you, but there’s a risk of impounding at Thai customs.

The Bureau of Social Development held an activity at Naklua old market to try and improve the quality of life for the area’s slum families, especially the children. There were talks about free educational opportunities and discussions about how officers and volunteers of the Bureau could help the families by informing them about social services operated by the local authority.

Adam Morris, a UK passport holder aged 39, was on his first trip to Thailand when he left his wallet at a store in Soi Photisarn, North Pattaya. He returned to the shop house on discovering his carelessness and discovered that the owner Phetnoi, 47, had already handed in the lost property at the police station. Morris later made a modest donation to the Good Samaritan. In the wallet were 55,000 baht, 4,950 rupees, a credit card and some personal data.

New highway planned by 2019 The new, 32-kilometer Pattaya to Map Ta Phut highway is scheduled to be open in 2019 following the Department of Highways’ opening of the bidding contest. The electronic auction bidding process should be finished by June this year with construction beginning soon afterwards. Chusak Gaywee, director-general of the Department of Highways, said the construction would be funded from collected tolls which

meant that there was no significant budgetary problem to delay the work. The total cost is estimated at 14 billion baht, including the cost of land expropriation. The four-lane highway will stretch from the Pattaya to Rayong highway, route 36, at its intersection with the Chonburi to Pattaya highway, passing Banglamung and Sattahip districts before reaching Ban Chang, near Rayong, where it

will adjoin highway three, Sukhumvit Road. It was also announced that the 51-kilometer Chonburi to Pattaya motorway is undergoing improvements which should be finished by the end of this year. A new toll plaza will then collect fees from all traffic entering or leaving Pattaya via the motorway to Chonburi which is free at the moment.

Funeral held for Thanapat Hengtrakul

Call Centre hears residents’ complaints

Funeral rights were held at Chaimongkol temple following the death from liver cancer of Thanapat Hengtrakul at the early age of 34. He was the son of Chanyut Hengtrakul, the local media mogul, and was the manager of Wannasiri Village. Thanapat’s disease was diagnosed only in its final stages. Many distinguished guests attended the funeral including former Chonburi parliamentary representative Sontaya Kunplome.

Pattaya Call Centre, run by the local authority, met representatives from 10 communities in the Pattaya area to hear about their problems including broken water pipes and water shortages, trees and poles toppling over, wires left hanging in public places, garbage everywhere and ongoing traffic snarl-ups. Centre staff said they would prepare a plan to help develop the communities and make them safer.

Sukhumvit trials Word is getting round now just how mammoth is the dislocation to traffic now that work on the underground tunnel has commenced. It’s particularly bad at weekends. Roll on the completion date in 2018. Or will that turn out to be 2020? Schengen visa According to informed sources, the main reason for the refusal of a Thai visa applicant hoping to vacation in a Schengen country is lack of proof that the European sponsor and the applicant maintain close contact when separated. Written records are needed, it seems. Opinions expressed in this column are the author’s alone and do not necessarily represent those of Pattaya Today’s management.

News Diana Group Resort celebrates 12 years

Pattaya journalists herald AEC

The Press Association of Pattaya, led by president Amporn Saengkaew, hosted a party whose theme was to prepare for the advent of the ASEAN Economic Community at the year’s end. Led by managing director Sophin Thepjak, staff of the Diana Group attended a merit-making ceremony on the occasion of Diana Garden Resort’s 12th anniversary. The resort cost about 100 million baht to build and was officially opened in 2003 with 13 Lanna-style houses, a swimming pool and facilities for the physically handicapped.

Guests of honor included Pattaya Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome and district chief Chakorn Kanjanawatta. Reporters at the party wore the national costumes of the various ASEAN nations.

Youth Pattaya Windsurfing Cup

Lesbian union celebrated Pattaya council member Amnuaythanawit Sompongtham presided over the first round of the windsurfing competition designed especially for new and young wind surfers to gain experience. Some amongst the group could become national surfers in due course.

French currency tricksters arrested Although Thailand does not officially recognize gay relationships, Chanat Kannet, 32 and a former national softball player, made a marriage vow in Banglamung with Naruemol Mungha-ngern, 24, an office worker in Bangkok. They had met three years previously at university and both sets of parents accepted the relationship without hesitation. Both of the betrothed said it was their happiest day.

Drugs hidden in sneakers

Officers of the Transnational Crime Coordination Center, accompanied by a representative of the French embassy, arrested three French nationals who had allegedly been printing euro banknotes and selling them internationally. Police took away as evidence fake banknotes and tools such as ink, skimmer and a computer printer. The culprits had lived in Pattaya for two years and had married Thai women to make themselves look respectable. Suspect Camille Cinerelli, 30, said the group had most often manufactured 50 euro notes as these were the easiest to duplicate. He added that there was no shortage of customers on the Internet. The three men were accused of making fake money and smuggling illegal goods into the country.

Gold stealers still at large Police set up a checkpoint at Pattaya Park and stopped a man who was driving his motorbike at high speed. The police initially found nothing illegal but were suspicious of the detainee’s nervous manner, eventually finding crystal meth hidden in his sneakers. Chaiyot Promsnga, 42, claimed the drugs were for his sole use but police later found in his Jomtien room yet more drugs hidden under the television set. At this point the accused man said he had bought the illegal cargo from a middle-aged man in Naklua. Chaiyot was charged with possession of illegal substances for profit.

Following a raid on a gold shop in Nontaburi, which resulted in the theft of almost 800 valuable items worth about 14 million baht, four men fled the scene but were tracked down after a tip-off to a laborers’ encampment in Nongprue near Pattaya. Over 70 policemen visited the camp early in the morning of March 9, 2015 and did recover a few of the items. However, the ringleader Chai and his family managed to escape the dragnet and are believed to be in hiding elsewhere. Nonetheless two of the laborers were detained during the official visitation. Later that night, ringleader Chai was caught by police at a checkpoint.

Horseshoe Point Open 2015 The recently concluded Horseshoe Point Open 2015 was the first equestrian event of the year of the International Riding School and the 7th Show Jumping Qualifier for Thailand Championships 2014-2015. The three-day Show Jumping and Dressage competitions were held at Horseshoe Point Resort Pattaya. There were 15 equestrian clubs, over 100 horses, and over 250 entries in the event. It was a huge success in terms of turnout of competitors, but the most important part was the presence of entire families showing their support to the riding activities of their children. Equestrian is still in the developing stage in the Kingdom of Thailand, but with such number of competitors, the presence of the sponsors, and the full support of the families, this sport is headed in the right direction.

NPA Rice Cook-Off 2015 On Saturday, March 7, 2015, the Garden Lounge of Amari Pattaya became a hot bed of culinary competition with North Pattaya Alliance's inaugural Rice Cook-Off 2015. Six celebrity expat ladies, representing leading women's groups in Thailand, competed as a team against six hotel managers from NPA to prepare the tastiest rice dish and win the coveted title of Rice Cook-Off 2015 Champions. In a 30-minute action-packed cook-off, contestants had to select ingredients from the pantry, cook chicken fried rice and prepare a sweet surprise – mango sticky rice, plus stylishly display the dish. A panel of judges, consisting of North Pattaya hotel chefs, rated each dish on taste and presentation during a blind tasting. The celebrity expat ladies won with outstanding culinary flair and some incredibly delicious dishes! The Rice Cook Off 2015 was the brainchild of Amari

Pattaya, lead partner of the NPA, and is supported by all six NPA founding partners: Amari Pattaya, Cape Dara Resort, Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya, Dusit Thani Pattaya, Holiday Inn Pattaya and The Zign Hotel. Brendan Daly, general manager, Amari Pattaya and current chairman of the NPA said, “This is an excellent opportunity for North Pattaya hotels to showcase our destination, not only to the very influential and high-profile celebrity ladies, who each represent a women-related group in Thailand, but also to bring a sense of fun to the neighbourhood.” Daly added “Today's activity is part of a calendar of experiential events organized by NPA to bring the spotlight on North Pattaya. I would like to thank Pattaya City, the Tourism Authority of Thailand, and Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau for their ongoing support of our destination awareness campaign.”

Weekly Gourmet Specials at The Beach Club Pullman Pattaya Hotel G on Wongamart Beach

Head to the Pullman Pattaya Hotel G on Wongamart Beach (North Pattaya) and every night of the week there’s a special foodie happening at this cool, contemporary destination. Mick and I were invited recently to their Friday night Mediterranean buffet at their Beach Club restaurant. The Mediterraneanthemed buffet presents a wonderful array of dishes from around this most interesting culinary area including The Lebanon, Greece, Italy, Spain and France for a budget

busting B.990 net including freeflow red or white wine or Chang beer. On arrival the striking décor of the lobby is impressive, chic and trendy with cascading water features and interesting modern sculptures. We were directed down to The Beach Club and found ourselves at sea level looking out onto two beachfront swimming pools, equipped with mood lighting and chill-out music with the backdrop of a palm-fringed beach.

The night we visited the restaurant was bustling with waiters and guests and alive with conversation and laughter. Immediately on exploring the scope of this buffet we were very impressed, not only with the scale of food on offer but also the quality of all the items. We started with the salad section: tabouleh, fattoush, babaganoush, Greek salad,

houmous (chick pea/ sesame seed/garlic paste) yoghurt and cucumber salads, tomatoes stuffed with tuna, capers and olives and much more all vied for our selection. We loved them all with special mention for the melitzanosalata (a garlicky charred aubergine dip) and the highly flavoured black olive tapenadeinspired Lebanese dish. Main courses feature couscous, with chicken or merguez sausage, mixed fish and prawns plus the paella, lasagna, and a myriad of delicious roasts and grilled meats. It’s a cornucopia of Mediterranean favourites. A whole host of cheeses and cold cuts also were tempting with a magnificent basket of freshly baked bread from Pullman’s in-house bakery. By now more people were arriving, friends, families, and couples with children all enjoying the casual ambiance and great value of this buffet. The dessert station is sweet-toothed nirvana offering so many delicate confections including Moroccan date pudding, halva, cinnamon oranges, sweet couscous and that famous Greek pastry, baklava. Apart from these culinary events, a full a la carte menu and extensive wine list are also available. This new wave hotel brings cosmopolitan refinement to Pattaya with its latter-day concept and its inventive restaurant where outof-the-box ideas are a constant and their prices kept lower with the inclusion of a bottle of wine and “net” pricing. There is always something original happening at this chic but laidback beachside eatery, so check out their website to discover daily promotions at value for money prices in one of the most contemporary venues in Pattaya.

AMICI

The full warmth of Italian Hospitality in a casual, friendly ambiance

This 3-month-old trattoria has been causing a buzz in the Jomtien neighbourhood recently and after numerous recommendations we felt we had to visit on your behalf. Owned by Paulo, a native of Florence and a longtime resident of Thailand, this charming Italian eatery has gained an enviable following from his compatriots, visitors and residents of the Jada Condominium where it is located. A big terrace welcomes which on the night we visited was animated with happy diners enjoying the harvest from the glowing wood-fired pizza oven. Two levels of zoned seating are available inside where it is decked out in red checked tablecloths and the homey ambiance of a true Italian family pizzeria/ristorante. Tables can also be arranged in

the garden around the pool for a casual al fresco experience. Florentines love their pizzas and Paulo has created a menu representing only the very best. From the regular Margherita through Al Frutti di Mare to prosciutto-laden pies they are all traditional and authentic and of course, Paulo, previously a food importer, uses only the finest Italian products. We tried the house special: Quattro Amici (B.240) which was a glorious 55 cm wheel of scrumptious Italian ingredients topping a thick, rich tomato sauce. Bubbling premium Mozzarella sank into the sauce before being loaded with Milano salami, cooked ham, well-seasoned salsiccia (Italian sausage) and sweet, salty Parma ham. Amici is justifiably proud of their authentic pizza recipes recalling the good old days of teachings from his

uncle when Florentine pizzas were the pride of Tuscany with thinner and crispier crusts than the rest of Italy. Prices start at only B.180 and home delivery is also available. We then moved on to another house special, Antipasti Amici (B.200). As lovers of all Italian prosciutto we enjoyed immensely this platter of tasty, moist Salami Milano, first-rate Parma ham and a selection of cheeses including Parmigiano and Taleggio served with a basket of crisp pizza bread. Other starters include traditional Caprese, a quartet of bruschetta with artichokes and imported porcini mushrooms. A ristorante would not be a ristorante without homemade pasta. Kept admirably piccolo, the a la carte menu offers tortellini di carne, ravioli with ricotta and spinach and gnocchi, all are available with a choice of six sauces including butter and sage, Gorgonzola and bolognese with the restaurant's lasagna being much lauded. Daily specials offer some interesting alternatives and on the night we visited a Genovese, vongole, melanzane (an aubergine, Parmigiano baked dish) and Pirata were chef’s recommendations. We chose the pasta pirata, a seafood spaghetti dish purported to have been invented in the fishing village of Porto Santo Stefano along the Mediterranean coast. Bursting

Amici Antipasti

with the flavours of mussels, clams, and squid and doused with lots of white wine with a dash of piquancy from the chili, it was a splendid dish. Secondi (main dishes) highlight beef sirloin steak (B.200), pork chops, cordon bleu, grilled Italian sausages, fritto misto and even fish n’ chips. We plumped for the chicken breast in a lemon/ white sauce which hit the spot perfectly. All main courses come served with French fries, spinach, green salad, mixed salad and potatoes boiled or mashed. With our dinner we were drinking the perfectly quaffable house wine at B.80 per glass; Paulo advised that they are in the process of completing a new wine list which will be available shortly. It’s very difficult not to indulge in one of Italy’s gorgeous desserts and we couldn’t leave without dipping our spoons into torta della nonna (Grandma’s cake). This is a traditional dessert made by Tuscan grannies for generations. A delicate pastry crust is filled with a silky pastry

Pirata Spaghetti

cream flavoured with vanilla and lemon zest and then topped with another regional staple, pine nuts resulting in the most delicious confection. Other luscious desserts include chocolate truffle, tiramisu, profiteroles and of course that famous Italian ice cream. Firmly based in the Italian community, this relaxed ristorante serves big wheels of molten Mozzarella pizzas laden with your favourite toppings from prosciutto to mussels, clams and squid, delicious homemade pastas and more. Come here with your amici (friends) and family to enjoy the full warmth of Italian hospitality in a casual, friendly atmosphere. Amici is located in Jada Condominium, Soi 17 (from Thepprasit Road). It runs adjacent to Rompho Complex and the Grand Residence is on the corner (from Jomtien’s Second Road).

Hat Sai Kaew (Sai Kaew Beach)

Ao Pakarang (Coral Bay)

Ao Lung Dam (Lung Dam Bay)

Koh Samed also features a famous work of Thai literature called “Phra Apai Manee” created by Sunthorn Phu, declared a world poet by UNESCO, so you can spot some statues of mythical creatures, crafted from the stories, like mermaids or giants on the island. There are several nice beaches around the island for you to choose from as well as various types of accommodation that serve every need and budget. Hat Sai Kaew or Sai Kaew Beach is the most famous and longest beach on Samed. Along its 800-meter beach, you can find almost every kind of

entertainment from water sports to restaurants to accommodations and nightlife leisure. Another popular, but less busy beach located next to Sai Kaew Beach, is Ao Phai (Phai Bay). There are rocks scattered along the white sand beach offering a contrasting and atmospheric landscape. Go further down to the middle of the island, you will find a beautiful crescent moon-shaped beach called Ao Wong Duen (Wong Duen Bay), offering visitors a relaxed atmosphere with an extensive list of accommodation and restaurants. Lung Dam Bay is for those who love to relax in a quieter atmosphere with local ambience. This bay is not only famous for its smooth, sandy beach, but also an old wooden bridge that conjures up a picturesque postcard view. Not far from the beach is a viewpoint where you can enjoy the sunset. Another recommended place is Ao Giew (Giew Bay) which has two areas

called “Ao Giew Na Nai” with one of the best viewpoints on the island, and “Ao Giew Na Nok” where you can see both sunrise and sunset on the same bay. Located at the end of Samed is Ao Pakarang (Coral Bay) which is another beautiful sunset viewpoint and a great spot for snorkeling. Ao Prao (Prao Bay) located on the west offers visitors a secluded, long white sandy beach and the best view of the sunset on the island. It is possible to visit Samed all year round but the best time is from October to May when the sea is calm and clear. You can travel to Koh Samed from Pattaya by bus, minivan or taxi to Banphe pier. From Bangkok, you can take a bus from Ekkamai Eastern Bus Terminal (Bangkok – Banphe route) or Mo Chit Bus Terminal which takes about 4 hours to the pier. Another option is to take a minivan, departing from Victory Monument to Banphe pier which takes about 3 hours.

Spa Indulgence

by Dr. Natnicha Loichuen

The Aging of Skin Focusing scientifically on aging, various theories such as genetic program theory and genetic error accumulation theory exist. Moreover, the skin is vulnerable to aging through endogenous causes such as mental stress, malnutrition, and lack of exercise and proper rest, as well as external influences like dryness and UV rays. Natural Aging and Photoaging In particular, at locations frequently exposed to sunlight such as the face, nape of the neck, and back (top) of the hands, the skin tends to be rigid and to present with deep wrinkles and creases. UV rays are responsible for photoaging. On the other hand, aging at locations that are usually not exposed to sunlight, e.g. the abdomen or the buttocks are referred to as natural aging. In the case of natural aging, the functions of the skin generally degrade, resulting in shrinking and reduction of cells, leading to thinning of the skin. Contrarily, in the case of photoaging, the skin becomes thicker through lumps of elastin that accumulate. It is known that the reduction of female hormones with aging induces collagen to decrease, and consequently, the dermis becomes thinner and loses elasticity. How does our appearance change with aging? The skin is finely textured during our youth with clear skin

They say you can tell someone’s age from looking at their neck. There, age is probably predicted through the appearance of the neck skin, as it is true that when one ages, wrinkles, sagging and blemishes become more noticeable, and the gloss of the skin tends to fade away.

Most prominent of all, we get to see more and more wrinkles emerging. Types of wrinkles Wrinkles vary in configuration, and can be classified into three types: 1 Linear wrinkles • believed to form through repeated movement of muscles prompting normal skin to gradually deform and convert into wrinkles • sublinear furrows on facial surface: corner of the eyes (crow’s feet), horizontal wrinkles on the forehead and between the eyebrows (frown line) 2. Glyphic wrinkles • believed to form through repeated movement of muscles prompting normal skin to gradually deform and convert into wrinkles • deep wrinkles seen at sun-exposed areas of the skin: crossed wrinkles on the cheek, neck, back of the hand 3.

DASH diet rated best overall

Do you have dry skin?

For the fifth year in a row, US News & World Report has named the DASH diet the best overall diet. DASH—which stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension— is a diet high in fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products; low in saturated and total fat; low in cholesterol; and high in fiber. DASH was rated by a panel of experts above 34 other diets, including such popular options as Weight Watchers, the Mediterranean diet, and the Paleo diet.

Moisturizers are key to soothing dry skin and making wrinkles less noticeable. You can pay thousands of baht for a skin moisturizer – or you can read Skin Care and Repair and find out that one of the most effective moisturizers is petroleum jelly (like Vaseline). It works especially well if you use it right after you bathe to seal in moisture.

Azimut 64 Flybridge – Speed, Grace & Opulence

Italian supreme luxury yacht: 20 meters, 2,300 HP – 80 million baht.

Pattaya Today’s John K. Lindgren leaves the tarmac and goes boating off Na Jomtien beach. The PT motorcar test drives usually start at the manufacturer's HQ: Honda at Soi Udom Suk, BMW All Seasons Place or Volvo Huamark. This time it's Ocean Marina, Pattaya. The state-ofthe-art yacht and powerboat heaven on Thailand's Eastern Seaboard, 15 minutes from Central Pattaya. Today is the official launch of the Azimut customer lounge and a sunset test cruise on the amazing 64-foot Azimut Flybridge. Azimuth (from Arabic alsumūt, meaning "the directions") – The horizontal angle measured clockwise between a celestial object and the northern point of the horizon as seen by the observer. Azimuth and altitude are the coordinates used to navigate with respect to the stars. The event kicksoff with speeches by Dr. Sunhavut Thamchuanviriya, group managing director, Master Group Corp subsidiary MGC Marine (Asia) Co., Ltd., the exclusive importer and distributor of Azimut Yachts and Itthiphol Kunplome, Pattaya city mayor. Followed by the ribbon cutting, cork

popping and pouring of chilled Moet & Chandon Champagne, photo session and inspection of the crimson, ultra chic Azimut Lounge sitting beside the Ocean Marina entrance. It's past five in the afternoon and embarkation time. The 64-foot (20-meter) sparkling white Azimut Flybridge 64 pleasure cruiser is moored at the far end of Ocean Marina's boat and yacht 'parking' comprising of 300 modern floating berths accommodating up to 180-foot/50-meter vessels like monohulls, catamarans and some trimarans. I look around the pier. No boats under 20-60 million baht. At the next berth there's the Azimut 46 Flybridge. Our Azimut 64 Flybridge is bigger, longer and a tad more expensive – 80 million baht. Here she is exuding Italian elegance and innovative naval architecture. The flowing lines encompass the deckhouse and the elevated flybridge with mirrored glass panels on the rollbar. The main deck includes a compact galley opposite a dinette just aft of the lower helm, then a saloon proper

a couple of steps down. Whatever you chose to indulge in this boat provides pleasure for any guest. At 17:30 the 2,300 horsepower twin Caterpillar diesel engines are fired up. The docklines casted off. We are underway. Slow ahead. 10 degrees starboard. Our captain on the Flybridge sets the course for Monkey Island off Bangsaray Bay. Full speed. The two CAT diesels provide impressive propulsion power. Almost 30 knots. On terra firma that would be 60 kph. On the waves the speed sensation is magnified. Plus the wind and the spray. This is pure power boating and Azimut Flybridge reaches 30 knots in 16 seconds flat. Up on the Flybridge on top of the enclosed, standard bridge below, that's where you wanna be. Azimut calls the flying bridge the “heart” of the 64. The open air helm station features excellent ergonomics, with a double seat and a height-adjustable steering wheel, the helm placed in the middle of the instrument panel to provide full control of the onboard instrumentation; joystick, nautical speed, RPM, compass, electronic chart, etc. Adjacent to the helm, a table and comfy settee and, of course a commanding panorama view. Here I am offered to take the helm as we are cruising at 20 knots. “You

can go 15 degrees starboard”. I can feel the smooth maneuverability as 14-metric-ton vessel turns easlily. The compass reads southeast. The helm experience is rewarding with instant throttle response at all speeds and crisp handling. I am told that the Azimut 64 can tackle any sea and weather conditions. The hull and structures have been designed striving for the best balance between traditional and innovative carbon fiber materials. But like all Azimuts, the 64 Flybridge is designed for one thing: Having a lot of fun on the water. This is strictly a boat for hedonists – not for Sunday fishing, or long-range cruising, or battling the elements like the stormy Cape Horn (although it's built to CE Class A standards, suitable for almost any weather and sea conditions). It's a luxury boat for leaving the dock after a leisurely breakfast al fresco, racing to a nearby island, having a swim or enjoying a gourmet lunch onboard. The 64 is a threecabin boat with a midships master suite and a twin-berth guest cabin on the starboard side. Five discrete air-conditioning zones in the interior give guests maximum control over their own comfort. Overall superb quality, interior design and thoughtful detailing including door handles to portholes.

As the shadows grow longer and the sun slowly dips into the Bay of Siam we are heading back to Ocean Marina and the Azimut Lounge. The new Azimut 64 certainly performs at sea. And with the level of onboard comfort she offers, from the superb master suite to the quality interior design, it looks like the Italian high-end yacht builder Azimut have a winner on its hands for the Kingdom's ultra high-net-worth individuals. Azimut Flybridge 64 Boat Type: Cruiser Overall Length: 20 m Beam: 5.23 m Draft: 1.52 m Power: 2 x 1,150 HP Caterpillar diesel Max speed: 28 knots Price: 80 million baht www.azimutyachts.com

Thailand Travel Mart Plus sees surge in first-time exhibitors by Tourism Authority of Thailand, www.TATnews.org

A total of 49 high-class boutique hotels, health and wellness specialists, ecotourism operators and wedding management companies are amongst the first-time exhibitors at the Thailand Travel Mart Plus Amazing Gateway to the Greater Mekong Subregion (TTM+) to be held during June 3-5, 2015 in Bangkok. Clearly reflecting the superb diversity of the travel and tourism products in Thailand and the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS), the surge in participation by firsttime exhibitors meets the primary objective of the TTM+, viz., to help small- and medium-sized enterprises get cost-effective marketing exposure in a highly-competitive global environment. Now in its 14th year, Thailand’s largest annual B2B tourism and travel trade event will be held at the Exhibition Centre Hall, Impact Muang Thong Thani. It is the region’s leading trade show for Thailand and the GMS countries of Vietnam, Cambodia, Lao PDR., Myanmar and China (Kunming Province). As of March 3, 2015, a total of 258 registered exhibitors included mostly hotels and resorts. Tourism Authority of Thailand Governor Thawatchai Arunyik said, “Many of these hotels are emerging in new destinations which are becoming increasingly accessible, thanks to low-cost airline connections.” “As such, this year’s TTM+ will go a long way towards helping us meet our overarching objective to

spread tourism income and create more jobs nationwide.” So far, the TTM+ has registered 304 buyers from 53 countries, which include India, the United Kingdom, USA, and Australia as well as a group of smaller but higher-quality buyers from emerging markets such as Bahrain, Belarus, Bulgaria, Chile, Ecuador, Egypt, Lebanon, Panama, Poland, Romania and Ukraine. Thawatchai said, “We are focusing our promotion strategies towards new source markets where there is a strong interest in Thailand. New buyers from these markets will get a good opportunity to experience the Thai products. Once they start promoting Thailand in their markets, other operators are sure to follow.” The theme of TTM’s this year, “Experience with Us”, reflects the idea that travellers want to “experience” and learn something new to satisfy a deeper need for participation, creativity, community,

Thailand off to Chelsea flower

and idealism. It is in line with the “2015 Discover Thainess”, campaign, which highlights the experiences offered by the Thai way of life, Thai culture and hands-on Thai activities such as Thai boxing, Thai massage, Thai cooking, and Thai classical dance. As part of this “2015 Discover Thainess” campaign, “12 hidden gems” will be showcased at TTM+. These are emerging new destinations renowned for their unique history, culture and lifestyle that tourists must not miss, especially repeat travellers. The official program will begin on June 3 with buyers, sellers and media registration, a forum for buyers and sellers and welcome reception. The business meetings will be held on June 4-5. Buyers and media will enjoy a full range of posttours from June 6 onwards. More information can be found on the website www.thailandtravelmartplus.com.

Pattaya’s Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden will again represent Thailand at the Chelsea Flower Show, which will be held in London from May 19 to 23, 2015. This year’s theme for the competition, “Thailand: Land of Buddhism”, will feature displays highlighting Thai

people and Buddhism. Having won gold medals at the show for five consecutive years, Pattaya Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome, Nong Nooch’s director Kampon Tansacha and tourism officials are confident that the fabulous displays would lead to another success this year.

Thansita Sirapastuwanon appointed as director of Sales & Marketing at Sheraton Pattaya Resort Thansita “Cartoon” Sirapastuwanon has been appointed as director of Sales and Marketing at Sheraton Pattaya Resort. In her new role, Thansita will utilize her 18 years of experience within the hospitality industry to lead the team and oversee the entire sales activities together with the marketing communications division.

Legal & Expat Money Procedures for the Registration of Birth, Death, Marriage and Divorce by Magna Carta Law Office

Notification of Birth A birth occurring in Thailand is legally recognized under Thai Law only if it has been duly registered at the District Office. If one of the parents is not a Thai national, it is advisable to also report the birth of the child to their respective embassy, who will issue a consular report of birth abroad or a birth certificate. For birth taking place in the house, the host or the mother (or any assignee) must notify the local registrar within 15 days of the birth. For birth taking place outside the house, the father or the mother or the assignee must notify the registrar of the birth district or of a district convenient to the place of birth within 15 days to 30 days of the birth. The penalty for failing to do so is up to 1,000 baht. Documents required in making the notification of birth: A) The identification card of the host, or the father, or the mother B) The host’s copy of the house registration book C) Same as (A) with the assignee’s identification card as another option Notification of Death In Thailand, any death of a foreign national or a Thai citizen must be reported to the District Office or to the police within 24 hours. If a foreigner dies in an apartment or a hotel, the landlord or the hotel manager will be required to report the death with the deceased’s passport and death certificate, if available. The District Office or the police will, within seven days, inform the foreigner’s embassy of the death and the embassy will, in turn, notify the next of kin as soon as possible. If the person dies in a hospital, a death certificate will be issued by the doctor and the police will file a report. The body will be released to the family within two to three days if the cause

of death is without any complications. There shall be a delay in the release of the body if the cause of death is suspicious, or a criminal act is suspected, because an autopsy will have to be performed first. When the death is confirmed, civil death certificate will be issued by the District Office. Marriage Registration Marriage registration in Thailand can be done in any registration office within the country. Foreigners start with affirmations from their respective embassies in Thailand confirming their citizenship and the absence of legal impediments to their getting married. The completed declaration documents will then have to be translated into Thai by an approved translation office and legalized by the Legalization Division, Department of Consular Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Bangkok. Supporting Documents: 1. Valid citizen identification cards of both applicants 2. The host’s copy of the house registration book 3. Two witnesses with citizen ID cards 4. Birth certificate(s) or house registration book(s) of offspring (if any) 5. Proof of divorce registration in case either applicant has a previous registered marriage 6. Consent of both parents given in person if applicant is a minor (i.e. under 20 years of age) Once registered, the marriage will be considered legal according to Thai law and will be recognized throughout the world. Divorce Registration If the marriage is registered in Thailand, an uncontested divorce in Thailand can be obtained by appearing in person at the registration office, or at the embassy or consulate where the marriage has been registered. Supporting documents: 1. Valid citizen identification cards of both applicants 2. The host’s copy of the house registration book, both copies of the marriage certificate, personal name change certificate (if any) 3. Two witnesses with citizen ID cards, divorce agreement 4. Birth certificate(s) or house registration book(s) of offspring (if any) The divorce agreement is the settlement agreement between parties on the division of assets and on issues of child support, child custody, children’s living arrangements and visitation rights. It is recommended to settle on these important matters beforehand to ensure that there are no disagreements before going to the registration office.

Expat Money Corner by Tim Whiteley

The world’s population continues to explode! Feeding the World Basic survival for us humans and just about everything else living; more and more investment funds are focusing on food and water production – why? What are the facts? Starting with water; estimates suggest that the world population will increase by 40 percent to 9 billion by 2050. As their purchasing power increases, developing countries like China and India are consuming more and more goods that require water for their production. Meat, for example, can take up to 10 times more water to produce than cereal crops. Several studies have concluded that demand for water is increasing at twice the rate as the world's population. Water is one of the strategic resources of the 21st century, along with food and energy resources. Increased investment in water infrastructure and water treatment will be necessary in order to meet higher demand. Clearly humanitarian issues are the prime concern. It has been suggested that investing in water will go some way to tackling the problem by improving the living conditions of people all over the world, thereby providing an ethical element to such investments. It’s also argued that receiving a reasonable financial return is not just profiteering, or in contradiction with the need, since the funds sponsor projects worldwide, which taxpayers and charities alone cannot entirely fulfil. A parallel here exists with the privatisation of water supplies in various countries. To illustrate how the water market is likely to evolve over the coming few years, let’s look at the figures. In China, for instance, investment in water conservation was a record 142.7 billion Yuan (US$20.9 billion) in 2009, over twice the 2008 expenditure. This trend is unlikely to ease up if Beijing wants to reach its ambitious economic goals and prevent the social and political unrest that would, almost certainly, result from water shortages. The developed countries have more stringent regulations and, for that reason, the European Union intends to invest a total of almost €350 billion in new infrastructure between 2006 and 2025. And by 2019, the United States is expected to invest some $900 billion in the same sector. It has been mooted that investing in water will go some way to tackling the problem by improving the living conditions of people all over the world, thereby providing an ethical element to such funds. It’s also argued that receiving a reasonable financial return is not just profiteering, or in contradiction with the need, since the funds sponsor projects worldwide, which taxpayers and charities alone cannot entirely fulfil. A parallel here exists with the privatisation of water supplies in various countries.z Notwithstanding all these financial commitments, nation states will not be able to meet the increasing global demand for water on their own. When many countries are looking for ways to reduce their sovereign debt, both industry and private citizens will need private sector involvement, as well. The so-called “water outsourcing” market’s share of this segment is already significant, with an estimated $260 billion current annual turnover. In light of these facts, the world faces a daunting challenge in the coming years. The scale of the problems might lead one to question the reality of achieving the necessary goals. The theory goes as follows. Firstly, unlike fossil fuels, water is a renewable resource. The water cycle is similar to a closed circuit. Water evaporates from the world’s oceans into the atmosphere, only to return to the surface in the form of precipitation. The total available water, therefore, remains basically stable. However, the problem is that we can only use a miniscule fraction of the world’s water, approximately 0.25 percent, as the rest is in the form of saltwater, glaciers and wastewater. Global demand for soft water will therefore exceed supply in the years to come, resulting in an inevitable price increase. As we speak, the world water market stands at aroundUS$500 billion, which is growing steadily, at an annual rate of 6 percent. There are many listed companies involved in this trend, which offer attractive opportunities for investors. One part of the industry that looks particularly promising is the water desalination sector, which is enjoying higher rates of growth. This technology allows freshwater to be created from seawater, at a reasonable cost, in regions where drinking water is scarce. Experience has shown that a careful selection of companies, within the water sector, who offer a competitive advantage over their peers, with a solid outlook for growth and attractive multiples, should continue to offer higher returns, when compared to the MSCI World Index. Food – what’s needed? For a sweeping overview of the risks we face and the potential solutions, the place to start is the document known as the Beddington’s report. It was compiled by the British government under the auspices of the chief science adviser, Sir John Beddington. In addition to the report itself, the home page for Global Food and Farming Futures offers links to dozens of papers, most of them specially commissioned for the project, that review the science of issues related to the food system. The overall conclusion of the Beddington’s report is that, to meet rising demand, the world has no choice but to move to more intensive agriculture, especially in regions where productivity is low today — but that it needs to do so with maximum concern for the long-term environmental and economic sustainability of that intensified production. The report includes recommendations on virtually every major problem plaguing the food system today, from coping with climate change to alleviating water scarcity to cutting food waste. Separately, Dr. Beddington is chairman of a new commission that is zeroing in on the issue of climate change and agriculture, with recommendations due late this year. Oxfam, the global relief group, recently published an analysis of the food situation and the risks in coming decades. The themes echo many of my own findings and those of the Beddington’s report, but the Oxfam report has a sharper tone on certain issues, particularly relating to the behaviour of corporations, investors and governments in rich countries. Raymond C. Offenheiser, head of Oxfam American branch, was recently on the radio talking about these issues. One of the major conclusions of the Oxfam report is that food prices could easily double from today’s high levels by 2030, with climate change likely to be responsible for a major part of that increase. The above section on food contains extracts from The New York Times’ article by Justin Gillis. As time goes on the private sector will, we believe, increasingly play a valuable, sustainable and economically viable role in funding vital programmes that meet the challenges facing us all concerning the supply of food and water for an ever increasing population.
