Latest Offers/Happy Hours/Happenings Dive into a New Adventure at Anantara Si Kao

Travellers wanting to live the dream of learning to scuba dive in paradise, as well as qualified divers looking to brush up their skills or take their certification to the next level, can now take the plunge with three special scuba diving packages at Anantara Si Kao Resort & Spa. Available to book now for stays between 1st November 2013 and 30th April 2014, each package includes accommodation in a Thai inspired Deluxe room with a daily buffet breakfast for two persons. In addition for one person, each selected scuba course includes equipment of a mask, snorkel and fin, BCD, wetsuit, regulator, tank and weights, a Dive Master service and liability insurance, as well as refreshments of drinking water, snacks and fruit on board.

The Anantara Si Kao Open Water Diver package offers a stay of five nights or more, so that beginners have enough time to complete the four day PADI Open Water Diver Course and four dives. This is the world s most popular scuba course and has introduced millions of people to the pleasures of a diving lifestyle. Comprising three main phases, scuba students learn the basic principles, before putting theory into practice with confined water dives and then open water dives to review skills.

Idyllically situated with a private beach along a breathtaking stretch of the Andaman coastline, only an hour south of Krabi Airport and just a 30 minute drive from Trang Airport, Anantara Si Kao Resort & Spa forms part of Hat Chao Mai National Park, which is home to some of the world s best dive sites. Anantara scuba students will be led by a multilingual team of highly qualified dive professionals from the award winning dive company Sea Bees Diving.

In addition to the studies required, guests benefit from visits to some of the best local dive sites, where colourful fish swim against a magnificent backdrop of varied hard and soft corals. Reefs provide shelter for lobsters, crabs, seahorses, anemones, colourful nudibranchs, sea stars and turtles.

Beautiful coral covered boulders, surreal caverns and swim­through channels offer a maze of enchantment. While dazzling schools of small darting fish are accompanied by giant barracudas, tuna and manta rays, as well as leopard sharks and even grey reef sharks.

Latest Offers/Happy Hours/Happenings Deconstructing Burma at AIE Galleries

Bangkok Art In Effect Galleries is proud to present an exhibition of contemporary art called Deconstructing Burma from September 20th, 2013­October 20th, 2013, with an opening reception on Friday, September 20th from 6:00­9:00pm.

The collection consists entirely of paintings created by artists living in Myanmar, which was only officially recognized as Burma by western countries like the United States and Great Britain, when recent changes in diplomatic relations were made within the current elected government. The artists, Tun T Lin, Khine Min So, Maung Myant Aung, K Kyaw, Min Yang Naung, and Zwe Yan Naing created all of the paintings in this collection while living under the former military controlled government. The collection is varied in subject matter. Some have political overtones; others focus on day­to­day life in a country that virtually marched in place, locked in turmoil for close to 50 years, while the rest of South East Asia moved forward.

With a new government, lifted sanctions, and a new attitude of general openness towards the west, the subjects typified in these works of art are each in their own way a reflection of time, encapsulated on canvas as new ideas from the outside flood in and new perceptions from the inside begin to trickle out.

Art In Effect Galleries is committed to observing the changes in Myanmar as it is reflected in the art of its people.

Burma Deconstructed will run through October 20th, 2013, but will continue to serve as a conduit for artist in Myanmar for as long as we remain a vital link between them and those from the outside who are interested.

This exhibition also punctuates the official grand opening of Art In Effect Galleries located on Sala Dang Soi 1 on a quiet sub­soi just north of Siri Sathon Hotel and across from Tree Creeper Restaurant.
