Transformers 3 features Sam Witwicky taking his first tenuous steps into adulthood while remaining a reluctant human ally of Optimus Prime. The film centres around the space race between the U.S.S.R. and the USA, suggesting there was a hidden Transformers role in it all that remains one of the planet's most dangerous secrets.

Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy tries to uncover the truth something more terrifying than any of them could have imagined.

Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants to stop threats to the world. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-MEN.

BEST REGATTA IN ASIA – IT'S OFFICIAL! Six Senses Phuket Raceweek, now in its eighth year, was recently voted ‘Best Asian Regatta of the Year’ in the Asia Boating Awards 2011, which recognise the cream of Asia’s marine industry across 23 categories, from boat builders to marinas to regattas. The awards ceremony was held at the Gold Coast Yacht & Country Club in Hong Kong on May 6. Phuket Raceweek is only the second regatta in Thailand to win this prestigious award. “We’re delighted with the accolade, which reflects what our participants have been telling us for the past several years,” said Grenville Fordham, MD of regatta rights owners Image Asia.

A FIRST FOR ASIA!

IF IT AIN'T BROKE... “One of the challenges facing regatta organisers is how to innovate, what to change after seven years of working at ‘getting it right’,” said Grenville Fordham, MD of rights owner and organiser Image Asia. The racing is professionally run by experienced and popular Race Officer, Simon James and his team. The regatta venue at Evason is second to none. The party food is, without question, the best at any Asian regatta. A crew ticket comes with a full free-flow bar and sumptuous buffet every night. As the saying goes, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” In the value-for-money context, the Phuket Raceweek ‘skippers bag’ is turning into a ‘goodie bag’ to top them all, with three quality bags stuffed with original Nautica shirts and Gybe caps for every crew member, as well as Rodenstock sports sunglasses and top-of-the-range Nivea suncare products. And, to liven up the onshore activities, there’s a cooking competition. Cosponsor Franke (Swiss manufacturer of high end kitchen equipment) celebrates 100 years in business this year – and is marking that achievement by joining forces with Six Senses Phuket Raceweek. Not such a strange partnership, as Franke is an Official Supplier to the Alinghi Americas Cup team!

Mount Gay Rum, famed for its worldwide regatta sponsorship (120 regattas sponsored by Mount Gay each year), has never before sponsored a regatta in Asia.

As part of its Phuket Raceweek activities, Franke is organising a competition for cooks and chefs who work on the water. Judged by a Thai celebrity chef, and with prizes worth around 100,000 Baht, dazzling dishes will be prepared – on Franke equipment of course – at Evason’s Into the Beach regatta venue.

Six Senses Phuket Raceweek is honoured to have been selected by Mount Gay Rum as, not only their first Asian Regatta, but the chosen event for the launch of Mount Gay in Thailand.

Six Senses Phuket Raceweek 2011 will be held from 20-24 July 2011 at the Evason Phuket & Bon Island on Phuket’s Southeast coast. For more information visit www.phuketraceweek.com or email raceweek@image-asia.com

Recipe

Snow Fish Fillet, Sorrento style Served with olive oil, seared zucchini and tomato fondue Snow Fish

Tomato fondue

• 4 fillets of around 150 gm

• 40 ml dry white wine

• 4 heirloom tomatoes, well ripened, medium size

• Bread flour

• Salt and pepper to your liking

• 20 gm extra virgin olive oil

• 25 ml extra virgin olive oil

• 250 gm Italian buffalo mozzarella

• 30 gm Italian basil leaves • Salt and pepper to your liking

Skin and pat dry the fillets, drench them in flour. Heat the oil in a non sticky pan, place the fillets and fry them gently until medium done. Add salt and pepper to your taste, pour the wine and cover. Complete the cooking at slow fire, adding a little water if needed. Keep the remaining sauce warm. Place the fillets in a baking tray. Place one thick slice of Mozzarella on top and bake at 180º C until the cheese gets well soft. Zucchini

With a small sharp knife, remove the stem from the tomatoes and mark the skin at the top with an “X”. Plunge the tomatoes in boiling water for about 30 seconds. The skin is now very easy to remove, under running water. Dice the peeled tomatoes to 4 mm cubes. In a non sticky fry pan, heat the oil. Pour the tomatoes in and stir until smooth and creamy. Add salt and pepper to your taste and the basil leaves finely chopped.

• 300 gm Fresh zucchini

• 4 Gloves of garlic, peeled

Serving

• 25 ml Extra virgin olive oil

• Salt and pepper to your liking

On each large main course plate, place ¼ of the zucchini, well drained from the oil, in the middle. Place on top one snow fish fillet, topped with a little of the white wine sauce. Complete the plate with ¼ of tomato fondue. Decorate with fresh Italian basil leaves and serve. A glass of fresh Soave white wine would be a perfect match.

Heat the oil and garlic in a fry pan. Fry the garlic until golden brown, and then remove it. Put the zucchini, sliced to 2 mm thickness, add salt and pepper to your taste and fry until well done.

Around Phuket Patong Seafood

International

Thai

Take a journey into the home of real Thai food! Patong Seafood Restaurant was the first seafood restaurant to open in the then village-like Patong. It has changed very little from those days except for a major refurbishment after the 2004 tsunami in which major damage was sustained.

Kantok Restaurant offers you a natural and warm ambiance where traditional healthy food is matched with fun and exciting traditional dance. “The Kantok” table was originally used by the northern households welcoming guests of importance into their homes.

The restaurant was rebuilt as it was in original Thai style with open dining area and a high circular design ceiling. Only the freshest seafood is brought straight from the boat and market to give you the finest selections, which are on display – chilled and ready to eat. The kitchens at Patong Seafood Restaurant are a place to behold, where their chefs with simply so many years of experience, prepare your seafood and other Thai delicacies to perfection.

Our Thai set menu is attentively prepared, beginning with our Thai appetizer platter which includes items which continue to be a rare delicacy these days due to the delicate mix of ingredients to create an old and unique taste. A sampling of our main event including green curry with chicken, Mussaman curry and our famed red duck curry is something not to be missed. End your distinct culinary experience with a local Thai dessert.

The first thing that you will notice are the friendly staff. The smiles, the attentiveness and the helpfulness in making your choice are something you will appreciate and you will then know why many visitors and locals come back time and time again to enjoy this real taste of Thailand.

Enjoy our Thai classical dance show which runs everyday from 7 to 9pm and is accompanied by a Thai traditional orchestra. If you haven’t tried the best red duck curry in town or yet seen a Thai classical dance, it is well worth the effort of doing so. It is beautifully relaxing and an almost hypnotic way to enjoy the evening.

The Siam Supper Club

The Siam Supper Club is definitely an icon!! It screams the word. There are few places in the world that provoke such a sense of time and place. The venue is a long bar and grill that has become synonymous with the cool of a bygone age still leaving it's sophisticated imprint. It's cool... in the same way scotch on the rocks is cool. Beautiful... no glorious jazz filling the few empty spaces. One of the most interesting collections of sepia black and whites remain true to this same time and place. When one is at The Siam Supper Club, one has to give up the mantle of tourist or visitor and for a brief time assume the rank of resident or... Phuketian. For when you're at The Siam Supper Club you are well and truly placed in a subtley lit and timbered comfort zone where a cocktail is still a cocktail damn it, the wines are big and the fabulous food reminds you of how things used to be. Ah! The tropics!

People Profile

Susanne (Sue) Ultmann Sue Ultmann, loves her job as Executive Assistant Manager and Director, Marketing Communications at Kalim Beach’s iconic Baan Rim Pa Group and she is also passionate about her favourite charity, Phuket Has Been Good to Us Foundation.

Where are you from originally? Melbourne, Australian born, six generations. I have a small family, my brother, Rob lives in Mackay, my son, John, works with the Grand Hyatt in Melbourne, my 85-year-old father, Noel lives in Phuket and my husband Tom who is here in Phuket too. What was your work background before you came to Phuket? I worked in advertising in television, radio and the print media, mainly linked to the hospitality and travel industries. I was associate publisher of Travel Week at the time it became Australia’s No 1. Travel Industry newspaper. It was owned by Peter Isaacson, one of Australia’s media icons. Because of the opportunities he gave me to travel, which few women were given in those days, I'm living in Asia today. He was my mentor. He turned 90 last year and I attended his party. Did you travel much before you finally came to Phuket? For many years I travelled, mainly around the South Pacific and Asia, selling advertising for Travel Week Australia. Then I met my second husband, Tom Ultmann who was a hotel GM in Australia. He wanted to work in Asia and I said I'd go anywhere, but with two stipulations: firstly, that there was an airport and, secondly, that I was not shot at. So when did you arrive on Phuket? Tom opened a hotel Koh Samui in 1992, and I continued working for Travel Week Australia. Then we worked in Malaysia, Philippines and came to Phuket in 1998 for three months. We established Phuket as a base, Tom returned to Manila in 2000 to do a second contract and I worked in Bangkok launching The BigChilli magazine, but we kept a house in Phuket. When did you join Baan Rim Pa Group (BRP) In 2001, Bruce Stanley, a freelance writer, introduced me to Tom McNamara, the late founder of the group. He needed someone to sort out his advertising. I was initially not interested as I didn't think Tom and I would get on. Eventually I agreed to a maximum of three months. We did have our ups and downs. But the job grew and I stayed. It’s now 10 years. What changes in the business have you seen in the last 10 years? There’s always a change in the type of tourists, but business doesn't change much. BRP started 21 years ago so it was already an icon when I joined. Our main business comes from tourists, groups and weddings. The other two restaurants in the group are Da Maurizio (started 17 years ago) and Joe's Downstairs (six years ago). They're wonderful restaurants and I'm proud to be a part of them. Where do you live and why did you choose to live there? We've always lived in the Rawai / Nai Harn area and bought a villa there seven years ago. It’s our favourite part of the island. What sort of car do you drive? A white Honda CRV. I love it. It's my baby. What do you like most about living on Phuket? Most things! Weather, food, the lifestyle and the multi-cultural society. I enjoy staying fit and go to the gym regularly; four years ago I started running and

will run again in Laguna’s ¼ Marathon in June. Not that I'm a good runner – I’m not, I just do it for fun. What are the most frustrating things about living on Phuket? The traffic, people complaining in general but specifically about immigration. I've never had a problem with them, in fact quite the opposite. If you treat them with respect you get it back. What do you think the future holds for you? At this stage we're not thinking of moving anywhere, although I can't predict the future. How would you evaluate success? Being successful in life is more important than work. I've always enjoyed working and am fortunate enough to say I've always had jobs that I liked, so I guess that's successful. I have a wonderful husband, a small but close family, good friends and a really good life on Phuket. What do you do with your free time? I enjoy walking on Nai Harn Beach in the morning with my husband and our Doberman “Shatzi”, working with my personal trainer, dining out or just staying at home. We lead a pretty casual life. Are you involved in any local charities, clubs or associations? Phuket Has Been Good to Us Foundation is a passion of mine. Started by my late boss Tom McNamara after the tsunami, it teaches quality English language to more than 700 under privileged Thai children in the Kalim and Kamala Kings schools. The aim is to give these children better opportunities in the future. We also run an after-school and weekend programme called “Coconut Club” for 150 of these children who live permanently at the Kamala school. They enjoy activities such as swimming, surfing, arts and crafts, special outings and we also have birthday parties for all these children on a monthly basis. The foundation is totally run by fundraising.

Sukko Cultural Spa Sukko means "Beyond Happiness". My first feeling when I stepped through the impressive gates of the Sukko spa was, "I’m in paradise". The Sukko staff are dressed beautifully in traditional Thai style and the spa design, influenced by the ancient Siamese capital, creates a haven of calm yet regal serenity.

The Sukko staff are dressed beautifully in traditional Thai style and the spa design, influenced by the ancient Siamese capital, creates a haven of calm yet regal serenity. I felt I had left all my troubles behind. Chilled out by the soothing background music, my mind was filled with a peaceful wellbeing as I enjoyed the warm traditional welcome (again from Sukko culture) of the ‘Flower Floating Ritual’ – similar to ‘Loy Kratong’, where the idea is to float away past stresses and wish for luck and joy from that moment on.

I was pampered with the ‘All-Soother’ package, a 2 1/2 hour experience that left me feeling relaxed and refreshed. This four-treatment combination began with 30 minutes in the steam room and the Jacuzzi, followed by a Thai Turmeric Body Scrub designed to soften your skin and awaken your senses. The scrub was followed by a traditional Thai massage, the pressure applied gently but firmly. "Is this pressure okay? Too strong? How are you feeling?" my therapist asked me from time to time. “Mmm… perfect…” were the only responses that seemed to suit how I felt. My last step, which came all too soon, was the Thai Herb Purifying Facial Treatment, using creams and herbs that left my face feeling smooth and glowing – and even looked good enough to eat! Sukko Spa’s restaurant, Suk Savoey Spa Cuisine, presents a unique concept: "Menu by Blood Types" and "Menu by Element". For those who want to exercise, the Suk Sanan Club provides a myriad of fitness opportunities, including ‘Rue Sri Dat Ton’ (the hermit self stretching), a traditional Thai exercise or, for something more strenuous, try ‘Muay Thai Chaiya’, a traditional and effective art of selfdefense.

Spa

Lemongrass House To visit this home of award-winning spa oils, creams, soaps and so many other exquisite products is a delight. The aromas are enchanting. At Lemongrass, you can enjoy a spa treatment to sample and choose from their huge range, then take home your choice to enjoy at your leisure. They even have a great range of kid’s spa products.

Bobby Duchowny studied aromatherapy – a healing art that promotes massage, when combined with specific herb and spice oils, as a method to reduce stress, boost energy and heal certain physical ailments – at the American Aromatherapy Association. Some years ago while on holiday in Thailand, he visited an organic farm in Petchaboon province and became interested in the natural healing properties of Thai herbs and spices. “I was particularly attracted to lemon grass as it was used in many popular Thai foods, as a medicine for stomach disorders and even as a repellent for mosquitoes,” he recalls. Bobby used lemon grass as his signature herb to create a line of essential oils, face and body creams, shower gels and bath crystals, which he and his wife Palita sold at Bangkok’s world-famous Weekend Market. What started, several years ago, as a modest enterprise has blossomed into a successful operation offering over 90 oils and a wide range of body care products through many outlets, as well as supplying many of Thailand’s top resorts and spas with aromatherapy oils.

“Our advantage is that we produce the freshest spa products and our stock is never kept longer than three months; using fresh spa products can be likened to eating fresh food rather than processed food.” Based on his years of experiences at some of the top spas in Southeast Asia, Bobby has developed a full line of healthy skin care products. For example, his hydrating face and body creams have 25 per cent aloe vera, white orchid and cucumber extracts. And he’s developed a revitalizing mineral muscle soak made from Andaman Sea salt crystals, blended with white orchid and chamomile extracts, to help draw out impurities and soothe and revive tense muscles. “People are sensitive to different scents at different times of day. It’s a good idea to get a variety of essential oils and experiment with what smells and feels good to you,” he says. “Our aromatherapy massage and body oils can be either uplifting or calming to the spirit. They’re carefully balanced handblended oils created by adding pure essential oils to nourishing, vitamin E enriched, sweet almond and jojoba base oils. Lemongrass has won many awards, including Condé Nast Hot List 2007, and has been featured in several top magazines, including Time Magazine’s “Best of Asia”. According to Time, “If you want to smell like no one else, try mixing a selection from the more than 90 natural scents at Lemongrass House.” Lemongrass House is located in Cherngtalay, Surin Beach and Chalong, where you can buy their full range of spa products at modest prices, making perfect gifts for friends and family who can enjoy the aromatic scents of Asia in the privacy of their homes – no matter where in the world they live.

The Royal Spa To experience The Royal Spa is to feel the true beauty of nature and reflect on the power of body, mind and spiritual connections.

The Royal Spa and Health Club

Some treatments & packages at The Royal Spa

In the heart of bustling Phuket Town lies a quiet haven of heavenly peace. With the continuous sounds of water, trickling, bubbling and steaming, and with the sweet fruity scents that fill the air, the being is enticed into a flowing stillness of body and mind. The Royal Spa and Health Club is a popular tropical day spa with both locals and visitors alike, which is managed by the Royal Spa Development and Management Company. With an excellent reputation in the spa development industry through its experience and attention to detail, the Royal Spa and Health Club offers a distinctly personal experience. Of the signature treatments, the Royal Stone Therapy is one that is particularly interesting. The Hot Stone massage technique, founded 5000 years ago, uses black volcanic stones, which are heated and placed on the body, producing a profound effect, stilling the mind and easing the body. Unlike many of the high-end spa complexes on the island, which market themselves exclusively to tourists, the reasonable prices and relaxed but professional staff at the Royal Spa, means that many local Thais, as well as tourists, are beginning to use the spa. This has helped to erase the often stiff, and over-formal atmosphere at many of Phuket’s spa resorts, giving the Royal Spa an ambience of authentic relaxation and pleasure. All the therapists working at the Royal Spa have been trained at the in-house 'Phuket Spa Academy', established in 2004, to provide a comprehensive spa training course. The curriculum and assessments provide a measurement of therapist expertise and knowledge within the Thai spa industry. Since then, the Royal Spa Development and Management Company have provided comprehensive and professional spa management, and development programs, for spa retreats throughout Thailand. Their aim is to provide a standard of service and expertise throughout the Thai spa industry, to ensure a high quality of service and standard of treatment, throughout Thailand. It truly offers the ‘one stop services for Thai spa business’ and a quality of relaxed professionalism, rarely found in luxury spa resorts. Right now The Royal Spa have 12 branches that are managed in resorts in Patong, Kata, Karon, Panwa, Ao Chalong and Phuket Town and you are welcome to experience our spas with us anytime. As a special for our 8th year anniversary, we offer 'BUY ONE GET ONE FREE' value.
