FOBISIA U13 Games 2015
Message from
THE Head of SCHOOL
Welcome to the FOBISIA Under 13 Games,
hosted by Bangkok International Preparatory
and Secondary School. It is my great pleasure
to welcome all students, teachers and supporters from
the region to this annual premier event and I hope that
you all enjoy participating in it.
It is always a good experience when engaging in healthy competition and this
FOBISIA event provides the perfect opportunity for all participants to do so. Although
success is always at the forefront of every participant’s mind, the opportunity to
make friends and meet new people should not be overlooked and neither should
the opportunity to engage collectively in positive sporting behaviour. I wish you
all every success and hope that you will celebrate the successes of your fellow
competitors and teams just as enthusiastically as you support the success and
efforts of your own team members. We look forward to joining with you in ensuring
that this event is an enjoyable and unique experience for all concerned.
I am sure that this event will be a great success!

Welcome to Bangkok Prep
Message from
THE Head of Secondary
Please allow me to extend a very warm welcome
to all of you to the Under 13 games. I hope that
you enjoy your time in Bangkok and will take
many happy memories away with you.
The FOBISIA organization offers an impressive range and
variety of events. It certainly provides a wide range of opportunities for
our young people to be involved in positive interaction, collaboration and competition.
Events like this take a great deal of preparation and planning and I would like
to thank all the members of our Bangkok Prep team, led by Martin Lowe our
Tournament Director, for all their efforts.
I am very much looking forward to getting to know all of you over the next few days.
Let the competition begin!

General Customs
Thai customs and etiquette are complex and subtle. Thailand has a rich culture
incorporating rites and beliefs from India, Lao, Burma, Cambodian and China.
The Thais are very acceptant, gracious, open-minded, patient and kind people.
Losing your temper or patience is considered rude, therefore remember to keep
smiling! Thai people enjoy a good time and love to have fun which is at the
center of everything they do. The ‘wai’ is traditionally how Thai people greet
each other, placing the two hands together in a prayer-like gesture.
Royal Etiquette
The monarchy is deeply revered by Thai people and strict customs surrounding
it are observed. Never speak disrespectfully of the King or of any member of
the Royal family. Stand quietly when the Royal Anthem is played. Keep in mind
that it is played at the cinema before a movie, therefore you have to stand.
Thai people love their King and to show sign of disrespect towards him and the
institution is very badly received. The National Anthem is also played in public
areas everyday at 8am and 6pm.

Orientation
The Windsor Suites Hotel is located in the hearth of Sukhumvit, more precisely at
Phrom Phong BTS station which is one station away from Bangkok Prep. Please
see a list of restaurants close by on page 4.
Transportation
Taxis
There are lots of taxis available in Bangkok and almost everyone can travel by
taxi due to the inexpensive rates starting at 35 baht and increasing at only 2
baht per kilometre. Make sure that your taxi driver starts the meter when using
choosing this transportation. Fixed rates are not common practice.
Bangkok Transit System – BTS
The sky train is arguably the best way to travel in Bangkok to avoid traffic jams.
Please see a map of the BTS on page 22 and 23. To know more about the sky
train fairs please visit their website: http://www.bts.co.th/index_CoverPage.html

Climate and Clothing
The climate here varies in terms of heat. The main factor is the humidity but
all the shopping malls and restaurants have air conditioning as too do of taxis,
shops, sky train, etc. The sun is intense in Bangkok so sunburn is a concern. We
suggest wearing hats and sunscreen as well as light cotton shirts and linens.
Entertainment
There is lots to do in Bangkok! Restaurants, theatre, cinema and concerts for
everyone– Bangkok has seen a huge rise in ‘big names’ visiting in recent times.
The cinemas are very good and gold class seats include reclining seats with
duvet and waiter service! Standard seats are about 180bt.
Eating and Shopping
Bangkok has every type of cuisine and every range of price to match. The street
food (which is commonly some of the best) starts at about 30 baht for a green
curry with rice and may go up to about 100 baht. Also you can visit a website
called Food by Phone which has all the restaurants in your area at http://www.
foodbyphone.com/. This has been known to some staff as the reference and lists
all restaurants on Sukhumvit. Do not worry about hot and spicy food, Thais are
very understanding of the foreigners inability to eat firey food. Please consult
page 4 of the Information Booklet to have a few restaurants suggestions.
Your hotel is located within easy distance of supermarkets and shopping centres.
A wide range of international food and supplies is available, as well as fresh local
produce. Bangkok has taken on a very sophisticated style over the past 10-15
years with superb restaurants catering for all culinary tastes, pubs and cinema
centres showing the latest movies at a very reasonable price.

Health Care
The hospitals in Bangkok are great, private rooms have satellite TV and en-suite
and the doctors are very well trained. The nearest and arguably the best is
Samitivej International Hospital which is within a 10 minutes’ walk from Bangkok
Prep. If you or your child are on medication or have a need for various medicines
these prescription drugs can all be acquired over the counter at one of the many
pharmacies here. Antibiotics cost as little as 100bt a strip. In case of emergency
please contact a member of staff from the list below.
Security
Thailand is a very safe place. You can stroll the streets in safety, there is little to
no risk of muggings, etc. The security issues here were political and not aimed
at harming civilians. The Thai people are naturally very calm and mild natured
and this is reflected in their manner.

FAREWELL from
The Head of PE
I am sure you will all agree that the dedication shown by the students, teachers
and parents from all of the participating schools has been phenomenal. The Games
would not be the same without the passion displayed by these groups. Speaking
of my own school, I am extremely grateful for the support from the staff and
volunteer students of Bangkok Prep’s Primary and Secondary schools and for the
tireless efforts (and late nights) of my own PE department. This Competition is, quite aptly, dubbed ‘The Friendly Games’ and I have been
constantly reminded of this by the interactions of the children, and teachers, from
all schools. It has been a pleasure to host for such wonderful contestants. The
encouragement, understanding and support, behind the scenes, by the teachers
from each school during the planning phase of the Games has filled me with a
sense of gratitude and I hope I can return the ‘favours’ in the future. It would be remiss of me not to mention our wonderful sponsors who, between them,
have fed us and kept us hydrated and safe during the duration of The Games. We are
all in awe of your generosity and fully appreciate the contributions you have made. Finally I would like to congratulate everybody for their performances and contributions
to this year’s U13 FOBISIA Games. It is you who have made this event such a success. Right, time to ‘pass the torch’. Next stop: Penang for the Primary Games. Can’t wait!
