Forever Family
ichai means older brother and he was by
four minutes. Those four minutes determined
many things. Those four minutes meant his twin
brother was starved of oxygen and would always
be a little slow. They determined that he would
spend a lifetime protecting his brother from a cruel world. He
was very proud of his name
and took his duties seriously. In the absence of
a mother who had died
giving them life, he had
vowed to fulfill the duty
thrust on him by those
four minutes whilst he
breathed and Veera
didn’t. They were identical physically; they had
the same smiling features;
the same eyes; they even
adopted the same spiky
haircut. Few could tell
them apart.
was none of the usual bullying of new boys. The gang-leaders
recognized this special relationship. They were amused at Pichai’s
ability to laugh at this shared affliction. He could do an amazing
impersonation of his brother’s habitual slack-jawed expression.
He even fooled the teachers; sometimes he sat tests for Veera;
once when Veera had failed to understand the importance of
a school rule, Pichai had
presented himself at the
punishment room on his
brother’s behalf. Wearing
his brother’s slightly vacant
expression he took the
caning without a grumble.
Pichai and Veera
were popular at the
school in Naklua. It was
generally recognized that
Veera was unusual and
there was something
admirable about the
care Pichai lavished on
his slower brother. There
Page 20
The brothers did not
cope so well with their
father’s new job. He had
joined a group of motor-bike taxi drivers off
Second Road where there
were plenty of farangs
needing late night transport for themselves and
their girlfriends. He was
at work when they came
home from school and
asleep when they left in
the morning. At night an
adult neighbour would
look in from time to time.
These visits lessened when
it became clear the boys
When school closed in October, Pichai and his brother
ventured abroad. They watched as the rains turned some of Pattaya’s sois into torrents. They helped shopkeepers pile sandbags
to keep the flood waters out. Somporn was quick to enlist their
help. His store sold shirts and shorts, mainly to farangs. A flood
would ruin his trade. The two brothers constructed a barrier that
not only diverted the waters from his door but enabled customers to enter dry-shod. Somporn rewarded them handsomely. He
suggested they come regularly during the holidays to help unpack bales of shirts. Besides, he added, it would help them learn
English being around so many farangs.
Though the money was little it was not unimportant; it
bought them little treats and occasionally Somporn gave them
reject shorts or shirts. His father was delighted with his grown-up
boys and their contributions to the family income. Pichai, however, was uneasy around Somporn: the storekeeper was too demonstrative, always touching them or trying to embrace them. He
was particularly affectionate towards Veera who responded with
delight to the extra treats he received. Pichai tried to warn his
brother of his unease but Veera knew nothing of ulterior motives,
only immediate gratification. His protector tried to ensure he was
always close when Somporn wanted a chat or had a special job in
the back storeroom.
He knew it would only be a matter of time before his younger brother lost his innocence; an innocence that could never be
replaced. He could not confront the man simply on suspicion
of being too kind. Nor could he go to the police: Somporn had
more than once suggested he had friends in high places. If he
told his father, a confrontation, possibly violent, might result. He
furrowed his brow for a means to defend his brother’s honour. He
could not do it by force, though slight and shifty, the man was
more than a match for him physically. He had to defeat him by
his wits alone.
The longer he worked at the store, the more convinced
he became that Somporn was crooked in his business dealings. There was a regular delivery each Friday that the store
holder only allowed Veera to help him unpack. The following
Friday, Pichai contrived to take his brother’s place. He gazed
openmouthed as Somporn instructed him. ‘Have you forgotten already? You really are a simpleton, my angel. Take the small
packets from all the boxes marked with a cross.’ The boy obeyed
his slack jaw growing slacker with each box. Each contained 100
Ya-ba tablets!
Somporn wrote hastily on a scrap of paper. ‘Right my little
pretty one, take this to our friend. You remember where?’ Pichai
nodded vaguely. He stared hard at Pichai then went out for his
morning noodles.
The boy’s head reeled at what he had just seen. Instinctively
he knew this meant salvation for Veera, if he could only come up
with a plan. He read the message. ‘Another delivery of Y. Send
someone to collect at 4 o’clock today. Usual rates.’
Promptly at four, a scruffy guy shambled into Somporn’s
store and handed him the note. The storekeeper barely glanced
at it. ‘Show me the money,’ he ordered brusquely. A roll of notes
was waved at him. He grunted and ushered him into the back
room where Veera sat smiling. There he began to pile the Ya-ba
packets in front of the collector. When he was done, he looked
expectantly at the buyer who reached into his pocket. Instead of
the money, however, he pulled out his warrant card which identified him as police colonel Wittaya of the Narcotics Crime Department of Pattaya Police Force.
Years later, he still recalled his final conversation as a free
man. Glaring at Veera, he screamed at him, the blood beating in
his temples, ‘what have you done, you imbecile!’
Pichai’s voice answered him from Veera’s slack mouth. ‘Sorry
master, I must have gone to the wrong address.’
Four minutes had cost him fifteen years of his life.

WORLD’S WORST VILLAINS
after business matters.
That included looking after Hungarian and Slovak
peasants.
She did a pretty good
job of things, despite the
threat to the castle and
nearby lands. On several
occasions she stepped in
to help women in need,
once helping a woman
who had been captured
by the Turks and a daughter was raped and left
pregnant.
Elizabeth Bathory
C
ountess Elizabeth Báthory was from a famous family of
Hungarian nobility. Some say she was the most prolific
female serial killer ever, others reckon she was framed.
She and four others were accused of torturing and
killing hundreds of girls. One person claimed they butchered over 650
victims, but in the end they were convicted of killing only 80.
Elizabeth herself was neither tried nor convicted. In 1610, however,
she was imprisoned in the Csejte Castle, now in Slovakia, where she
stayed bricked in by a series of rooms. She died there four years later.
Bathory was born in Hungary on 7 August 1560.
Her father was George Bathory and her mother Anna
Bathory, both from extremely good stock. Through her
mother, Elizabeth was the niece of the Hungarian noble
Stefan Báthory, King of Poland.
Elizabeth became engaged to Ferenc Nadasdy, in
a political deal. They married in May 1575, watched by
4,500 guests. She moved to a castle in Sarvar and lived
alone for much of her time while her husband studied.
In 1578, her husband was named chief commander of Hungarian troops, leading them to war against the
Ottomans. While he was off fighting, Elizabeth looked
Oil painting of Gyorgy Thurzo
In 1585, Elizabeth
had a daughter, Anna. She
had two other children but
both died at an early age.
Elizabeth had three more children, Katherine, Paul and Nicholas.
Elizabeth’s husband died in 1604 aged 47, possibly from a battle wound.
All sounds pretty innocuous so far. However, things started to change in
1602, when a minister made complaints about alleged atrocities.
It took until 1610 for the claims to be properly investigated. In the
end, King Matthias assigned Gyorgy Thurzo to investigate. The case was
highly controversial, as executing someone like Elizabeth would result in
a public scandal. It would bring shame upon the nobility and mean her
property would be taken by the crown.
Thurzo therefore first planned to send Elizabeth away to a nunnery.
However, gossip spread fast and the talk was of how she had murdered
daughters of lower nobility, so she was kept under house arrest instead.
More than 300 witnesses were spoken to in 1610 and 1611 and a
trial was eventually held. Trial records still exist and show there were four
defendants and 13 witnesses. Priests, noblemen and commoners were
questioned.
The trial heard that Elizabeth’s first victims were the teenage
daughters of peasants, who were tempted to go to the castle for wellpaid work as maids. Elizabeth is said to have later started to kill daughters of the lesser gentry, who were sent to her by their parents to learn
courtly etiquette.
Most of the torture said to have been used wasn’t directly witnessed – not many survived, after all. The trial was however told of hearsay evidence that said victims were beaten over long periods, sometimes
resulting in death, that their hands and genitalia were burnt or disfigured.
Today - All that remains of the infamous castle Csejte
There have been various fanciful stories about what she got up to.
The more extreme had her bathing in the blood of virgins in order to stay
looking young, which in turn led to comparisons with Vlad the Impaler,
on whom Count Dracula was based.
One of the few original oil paintings in existence of Elizabeth Bathory
Page 22
Elizabeth was also said to have eaten the flesh of the girls’ faces,
froze some to death and performed surgery on others, usually with fatal
results. Some victims were starved and a few were sexually abused.
Some witnesses saw traces of torture on bodies,
some of which were buried in graveyards, and others
in unmarked locations. Elizabeth tortured and killed
her victims at her castle but also in other properties,
but she was helped by several others who supplied her
with the girls.
Nobody knows exactly how many she killed. It
could have been as many as 650, between 1585 and
1610. During the trial, figures of between 36 and 50
were mentioned. Those who worked at the Sarvar
Castle reckoned they’d removed up to 200 bodies. The
650 figure comes from a witness who claimed there
was a book that listed all the victims.
Some tried to claim the whole trial was a political
stunt, as there were plenty of Hungarian feuds at the
time and as a Protestant, Elizabeth would have been
hated by the Habsburgs.
Regardless, in December 1610 Elizabeth was arrested, along with four servants who were allegedly
her accomplices. At the castle they found one dead girl
and several others who were dying.
The countess remained under house arrest but
her servants went on trial, although Elizabeth did not
appear. The defendants were Dorota Semtesz, Ilona Jo,
Katarina Benicka, and Janos Ujvary.
Three were found guilty and sentenced to death.
Before being burned at the stake, Semtesz and Jo had
their fingers ripped off their hands with hot pokers,
while Ujvary, who was thought to be slightly less
culpable was let off relatively lightly: he was simply
beheaded then thrown in the fire. The last defendant
Benicka was sentenced to life imprisonment as she
had been bullied by the other women.
During the trial, Elizabeth was put in a walled-up
series of rooms and stayed there until her death in
1614. King Matthias had wanted her brought to court,
but ultimately she was never found guilty of a single
murder.
On 21 August 1614, Elizabeth Bathory was found
dead in her castle. She was buried in the church of
Csejte, but as villagers were furious at this, her body
was moved to her birth home at Ecsed, where it is now
interred at the Bathory family crypt.
The legend of her bathing in her victims’ blood
led to various stories in the 18th and 18th centuries,
though significantly this detail was never mentioned
at the trial. Tourism demands also ensure that the
myth continues in many quarters, and Elizabeth
Bathory continues be an inspiration in various books,
games and movies.

RAE’S RAMBLES
the enmity of their disapproval and opinions based on their own outmoded and
insulting perceptions of what aging means.
I’ve yet to explore the sartorial delights of aged fashion as a string vest,
ex-army khaki shorts with braces, and frayed plimsols still suffice. My censoring
relatives would have a fit and say “You’re not going out dressed like that, are you?
What if our friends should see you?” Well, relatively speaking, the older you get
the less you care for those annoying relatives anyway - and as we are relatively
speaking, theoretically, E = mc2, but even that is in dispute now! As for ‘Virtual
Reality’ it’s an oxymoron. Virtual means almost - but not quite; and reality
does, of course, mean real. That which is real is real, and cannot be less than
real so it’s a contradiction in terms. It simply cannot be virtually real! Do you
remember how Jeff Goldbum (in ‘Jurassic Park’) tried to explain the ‘Chaos
Theory’ in speculating on the true nature of the cosmos? By using droplets
of water on the back of his hand, he demonstrated that even the most basic
rules of nature can occasionally behave in totally unpredictable ways. Even
the intellectuals, scientists and boffins whose jobs are to investigate the true
nature of the universe regard this as a hot potato — so it’s safe for me to use it
as a philosophy. I can tell people what they do not want to hear and say or do as
I please because if it’s wrong I’m simply investigating the ‘Chaos Theory’ and cannot be held responsible for an unpredictable outcome. Plus, I shall acquire the
sobriquet of ‘Eccentric’ in the process, which is a license to flout any convention
if I so choose - which these days I often do by sounding off and banging on in my
Promethean articles!
I
n bidding farewell to a couple of close
friends prior to leaving the UK I said ‘I do
hope, if people ask about me, that you will
tell them that he chucked it all in and buggered off to a foreign country’ because I
think that deep down most people would like to
do the same. If they knew the lifestyle I was now
leading their opinion would not be ‘I feel sorry
for the stupid old fart all alone in a strange land’,
but one more like ‘the lucky bastard’.
I followed the advice of Welsh bard Dylan
Thomas to his father when he wrote “Do not
go gentle into that goodnight, rail, rail, against
the dying of the light” and decided to grow old
disgracefully. By that I do not mean dressing up
in skin-tight florescent lycra cycling gear that
shows off your wrinkly pinkie and packet of
walnuts or to go jogging in a gaudy day-glow
pink sequined Liberace shell-suit. I later sent, to
various relations, photos of a variety of Pattaya
girls fawning attention on me, only to incur
Page 24
Getting older enables me to pontificate and comment with impunity on the
collective madness and ludicrous sheep-like behaviour that motivates the average wage-slave. Those queuing commuters in milling flocks and droves, cramming
into buses and trains, and those behind car driving wheels being driven mental
by motorway traffic (often proving that although a car is constructed of a thousand parts it only takes one nut behind the wheel to deconstruct it in seconds).
All bleating baa, baa, baaaa about wanting to be anywhere other than where they
are; it puts me in mind of the Welsh sheep I used to see being transported down
from the Black Hills, anticipating in innocence fresh green pastures but apprehensively peering through the slatted sides of the death-destined dirty lorries as they
trundled by on their way to an abattoir for slaughter.
Sometimes it’s liberating to have a change of attitude as well as a new perspective on life. Those hackneyed and derogatory phrases, used mostly by those
who have never truly lived, of being ‘over-the-hilP, and ‘washed-up’ are prime
material for deconstruction. For a start, ‘climbing-the-hilP meant being locked into
a determined career course of action, and like a blinkered sea-side donkey you had
to struggle onwards and upwards not even being able to enjoy the scenic views
along the way. It often demanded the most strenuous effort that one could muster
to simply stay in the same place and not be afflicted with a treadmill mentality. It
could take a career lifetime to reach the ‘top-of-the-hilP and many OMAM’s (Older,
Middle-Aged Men) didn’t even get that sense of achievement or to enjoy the view
because on nearing the top they were greeted with a redundancy notice and the
realization that it had been the wrong hill for them all along.
Nobody chooses to go back to the bottom of the hill despite
the slide down is far easier and quicker than the climb up and its
nigh on impossible to muster enthusiasm for another attempt,
so why not just say ‘f*ck it’; look around at the valleys, plateaus,
lakes, rivers, mountains, a geography awaiting exploration. Why
choose another damn hill? If I’d been Sissyphus I would have told
Zeus where to shove his damn boulder. Mythology also describes
the dispiriting 12 labors sent to try Hercules but, (it would appear,
nobody reads the classics anymore) only the brave or adventurous
will break out of their stick and carrot trotting donkey mentality,
kick over the traces and leave those others treading the rut of their
career paths up the bl**dy hills. But, unlike Hercules, upon completion of his tasks they will not be rewarded with immortality.
we really think we’ve got “too few to mention” it’s more likely
a case of having forgotten most of the stupid things we have
done in our lives which isn’t altogether a bad thing to do with
them I suppose.
To use another of life’s analogies; if this is the ‘Restaurant
of Life’ and my ‘Salad Days’ (when I was green in judgment) are
over, then I’ll have chicken and chips instead while I’ve still got
my own teeth to enjoy it. So when I asked the waitress ‘How’s
my chicken coming along?’ she replied ‘I fine t’ank u, how r u?’
Well, what do you expect? This is Thailand after all.
Now I’m all washed up on a
beautiful beach, flanked by swaying
palm-trees and *anked by beautiful swaying maidens, surrounded
by their gorgeous brown bodies in
g-string bikinis and wiggling their
sex in my face. If this is being ‘overthe-hilF it is an enviable condition
to be in whilst the wage-slaves
labour under the delusion that ‘the
hill’ is all that life has to offer. No
falang was ever made miserable in
a Pattaya brothel, if he is miserable
when inside one it’s because he
entered it that way.
Well, I never had a mid-life crises, I reached the top of the career
hill climb and was able to enjoy
the peak, the feeling and meaning
of success, and all else that it had
to offer. Unlike some others who
didn’t and instead began numerous affairs, bought Harley-Davidson
Motorbikes, wore aviator sun-glasses, pony-tails, Kamikazi headbands
and sported Hell’s Angel’s tattoos,
talked gangster rap, grooved to
funky hip-hop music (I still think
that M’n’M is a coloured sweet) and
pursued all those things forbidden
to them in their 20’s and 30’s. Their
desires then become their beliefs.
My mid-life era was the most creative and productive period of my
entire existence for it was then that
my Jungian ‘shadow personality’
and I became united.
As Sinatra sang “Regrets, I’ve
had a few, but then again, too few
to mention.” (so why is he?); Most
everyone has some regrets and if

Something new to lose your money in: The site of the defunct
Tahitian Queen 2 go-go (Soi BJ, off Walking Street) is undergoing
major renovations, and looks as though it’s going to be turned into
something unusual in Fun Town: a bar.
The former TQ 2 opened in 1991, so to survive 20 years in business in Pattaya is to be commended. It had its moments in the sun as
far as popularity was concerned, at one stage being a real late-night
venue. TQ 2 rarely had much in the way of chrome pole huggers of
quality, but that’s not why people used to visit the joint. This was
an air-conditioned bar, which, like its older sibling on Beach Road,
played pretty good rock n roll music, not the head banging techno
crap spewing forth from the speakers of most dens. It was a locals’
hangout in many ways.
The key to the joint was one of the American co-owners, Steve
Blumenthal. Sadly, he died of a heart attack at just 41 years of age,
in late 2006. Steve used to write a column called ‘Out For A Beer’ in
one of Pattaya’s monthly tourist publications, sensibly giving TQ2
a mention in most of his pieces. I didn’t know him very well but he
struck me as a nice person, and I never heard anyone talk of him in
anything but the kindest terms. Steve, despite his relative youth,
had been in Pattaya for a long time and once he was gone
I guess it was no surprise to see TQ 2 struggle along. What
it probably needed was a complete makeover and name
change.
Buffalo Bar goes down the nuts and butts route: The
long-established Buffalo Bar Sierra Tango boozer (Third
Road, near Soi LK) has always been a popular hangout, but
it appears the management are falling into the same trap as
many other places in allowing their distaff employees to be
stiffened by the addition of a few cocks in frocks.
As the photo with this story shows, the men who would
be women are fairly obvious, in the sense that you’d have
to be very full of amber cheer or overwhelmed by the holy
spirit not to be able to pick them out in a line-up, even with
the lights out.
I’m told many Buffalo Bar regulars are not impressed by
the presence of the nuts with butts, as the expats frequent
the joint in search of female company and don’t want to be
pestered by someone from the meat and two veg brigade.
Whether this will have a long-term detrimental affect
on the bar is not clear, but you have to wonder why the owners would even entertain the idea given that most of their
regulars are expats or long-termers, and most of these just
aren’t interested in playing hide the salami in the dustpipe.
Well, not unless ‘she’s’ a real stunner.
A ‘Trio’ of fun in Secrets.

Hit or miss, or hot and cold: There’s a certain perverse
allure about really bad go-go bars. Of the 70-plus dens of the chrome
pole stretched across Fun Town, there are a few which
have survived for some length of time despite looking
as though they could, or should, be closing down at any
tick of the clock.
One of these dens is Hot & Cold (Soi Post Office).
The joint kicks into a kind of life (oxygen might help)
at about 3:30pm seven days a week and bats through
until about 2:00am. On a recent visit I wandered into the
place about half an hour after opening to see two girls on
stage. Both were past their use-by date, but since I was
feeling masochistic, as well as thirsty, I decided to stay.
Drinks prices start at around 60 baht and the management of the den understand their demographic because
lady drinks are set at a realistic 90 baht.
One of the dancers decided I must have been on
my first visit to Pattaya and had wandered in by mistake, because she came over and attempted to impress
upon me the wonders that could be revealed if only I
would agree to go upstairs with her for a short period
of cavity inspection, both hers and mine. The fee for this
exercise she stated would ‘only’ be 1,300 baht, including
the room. She took my refusal as shyness and persisted,
eventually discounting the proposal to a grand sum of
1,000 baht, all in. Not to put too fine a point on it, but
she simply wasn’t ‘my type’, so no amount of promotional
pricing was going to get me to take the stairway to a
dubious heaven.
By the time I left the bar, a few more dancers had
wandered through the doors and I have to say a couple
looked far better than I would have expected. Despite
this, I happen to think Hot & Cold definitely sits in the
bottom 10 percent of the go-go pile of Fun Town.
No draft beer but still an Oasis of fun: I don’t
know whether this is going to be a long-term flood
related problem, or just happened to be one of those
situations where Pattaya-wide rationing is taking place
and so some places have to wait in line for future supplies, but the popular Club Oasis go-go (Soi Buakhow)
was out of draft amber fluid on Monday night.
The lack of this go-go bar staple certainly didn’t put a dampener on the
number of punters enjoying the sights and sounds in the den. The music,
synchronised with videos, is usually pretty good and only rarely descends into
the pit of turgid noise produced by the likes of Smell Doggcrap or some other
drug-dealer turned LA rapper.
As for the chrome pole molesters, there were plenty of them. The majority
could be rated as average or better; a couple were definitely candidates for the
good perving list for November. Management seem to have weeded out most
of the slugs and the sloths and so it’s no surprise the place was busy.
By the way, I am well aware this column fails to live up to the standards
of politically correct babblespeak as espoused by some arcane sub-paragraph
emanating from a bureaucratic bunker in Brussels. There are those who suggest
Nightmarch is simply chauvinistic and morally bankrupt. Why? Because I write
about a meat market where men with money to spend are looking to unload it
on women who are equally prepared to accept it, knowing the price to be paid
will usually involve an act of intimacy. “Close your eyes and think of Somchai,” is
probably what goes through
many of their minds.
It’s worth remembering
that in 2011 there are arguably more women working
in Pattaya who are not ‘on
the game’ than those who
are. Certainly, in Thailand, the
absolute majority of females
work in so-called ‘proper’
jobs. The Nightmarch column is not about them, so
for the Bible-bashers and
the Saving Souls for Christ
brigade or those who think
casual sex with strangers in
return for money is an abomination, try and get a handle
on the real world instead of
living in some ivory tower
of self-delusion. Get down
to Oasis and join in the fun,
you might find it a liberating
experience.

Unfortunately once 9pm passes it become apparent that
customers don’t want to pay the full price, resulting in a bar
which ends up as empty as Paris Hiltons head. This is a real shame
because the Triangle is a decent bar, its even more decent if you
arrive before 9pm.
My next bar takes me back to Soi Buakaow to Witherspoons,

UK.

Buakaow, passing the bend at the R-Con
before finally stopping at The Marquee Bar
And Cafe.
This large open bar carries the name
of a famous London venue, which in its day
played host to what have become some of
the biggest names in pop. Here in Pattaya the
owner pays homage to some of these bands with a wall decorated in pop memorabilia. Photos and posters of The Who, The Small
Faces, Hendrix and The Stones are on display. Not to mention
another 60s icon the Lambretta scooter.
My first drink of the evening takes me
to the Triangle bar, a more apt name for a
bar you could not find.
Arriving from Soi Buakaow this large triangular bar sits
where Soi X-Zite meets Soi Chaiyapoon. Although not exactly off
the beaten track, I am taken by surprise on just how busy this bar
is. This maybe due to the fact that premiership football will be
on our screens later, or a more likely reason is its still happy hour.
I should make that a happy 12 hours, as this bar offers a buy one,
get one free policy from 9am till 9pm. This buys me two bottles of
Leo for the grand sum of just 75 Baht.

in sitting in beer bars or gogo bars, people who are looking for
some sophistication on their nights out. If this is indeed the case,
then I am seeing little evidence of it here in Oasis. This place, like
the previous two bars is doing excellent trade
with what can be best described as your Pattaya visitor of old. This is not a criticism, far
from it, these are guys who know how to go
out and enjoy themselves, and where better
to do this than a gogo bar.
It goes without saying that the music played here is not your
usual one CD, repeat play affair. Tonight I enjoy tracks from The
Kinks, The Beatles and some more recent stuff from the likes of
Oasis.
Tonight in Oasis there are some very
attractive girls who wouldn’t look out of
place in some of the finer venues on Walking
St. This combined with very fair drink prices
makes this a very enjoyable gogo experience.

required for a great night

sport and sexy girls. It appears that others agree with

Tonight it is packed with English football fans watching
their favourite premiership teams. Every single game is screened
live on the many televisions dotted around. To make us ‘Brits’
feel even more at home, this bar sells a range of drinks which are
popular with drinkers from the UK. A nice gesture comes during
the half time interval when the bar staff come around with platters of nibbles, including spring rolls, chips and bbq chicken.
I spend the second half of the football trying desperately
not to miss any of the goals. This results in me twisting my head
in all directions as cheers erupt from different areas of the bar, as
and when a team scores. When the final whistles are blown I take

Yet the major concern over the mobile phone came in
2008 when an Australian neurosurgeon claimed the world’s
heavy reliance on mobile phones could be a greater threat
to human health than smoking or even asbestos. Considering smoking and asbestos remain common in Thailand,
maybe this could be the place to test the veracity of the
claim.

n 2006, a spokesperson for the National Culture Commission (NCC) claimed Thailand’s cultural values were being
warped by the fact half the population were psychologically ‘dependent’ on mobile phones.
Explaining further, she said there were six tell-tale signs of mobile
phone ‘addiction.’ First on her list was becoming a slave to phone
fashion, always seeking the latest models which are regarded
as a form of status symbol. Second, descending into poverty by
spending their money on the purchase of new phones. Third, is
impatience and irritability
caused by users becoming accustomed to instant
connections and orders. As
a result, addicts become
irritated over trivial events
in their lives. Fourth, some
callers ignore social etiquette, ringing others at all
times of the day or night.
Fifth, is a reduction in social
contacts, calling people
instead of visiting them or
going out with them. Sixth,
this was described as ‘insincerity’, a result of the nature
of phone conversations,
which are not face-to-face
dealings. Users are prone to
fawning language or complete lies to convince the
other party they care about
something when they really
don’t.

Does any, or all, of the above sound remotely like the average wallet-emptier of Fun Town? Especially number four. As a
single man I lost count of the number of times I would be called
at around 3:00am by some previously-enjoyed companion who
claimed she missed me terribly and wanted to spend the remaining hours of darkness in the shelter of my bed. Once I used the
magic words, “I don’t have any money,” it was amazing how the
damsel would find a reason to avoid coming around. If a phone
call came in after 4:00am I knew I was probably the fourth, fifth or
sixth choice on her list of prospective after-hours live ATMs.

Apparently the neurosurgeon, Vini Khurana, said using
mobile phones for more than 10 years could more than double the risk of brain cancer. Admittedly, he said his findings
were preliminary and it needed a government study extending for more than a decade to determine the effect of invisible electromagnetic radiation emitted by handsets. He said
there were three billion people using mobile phones worldwide, which is half the population of the planet. Of course,
in Pattaya mobile phone usage is at 99.99999 percent. Even
the poorest garbage collector seems to have one.
Dr Khurana said mobile phone radiation could heat the
side of the head or thermoelectrically interact with the brain
and eventually cause a tumour to develop. Naturally, the
Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association rejected
the conclusions. They said handsets were designed, built
and tested to comply with strict guidelines. Dr Khurana stated it took up to 20 years for tumours to develop and suggested we would start seeing the effects of heavy mobile
usage after 2008, approximately two decades after mobiles
first became common. He claimed,“most of the worrisome
data has been surfacing [since 2006].”
Given the amount of usage of mobile phones by the
working girls and boys of Pattaya, who spend approximately
33 percent of their time on their backs, either sleeping or
engaging in monetarily rewarding activities, 33 percent
eating and 48 percent on the mobile talking to friends and
pre-loved acquaintances. Mathematically this adds up to
an impossible 111 percent, but the extra 11 percent occurs
because of the overlap while the girls and boys are eating
and talking at the same time.
It gets worse. Also in 2008 a doctor writing in a leading US psychiatric journal suggested people who send large
numbers of text messages and emails may have a mental
disorder. If any of this is remotely true then we expats may
well be living in a city full of mentally defective locals who
are just a “love you long time” email, text or mobile phone
call away from having a brain implosion. As Maxwell Smart
used to say in the TV series Get Smart, “And loving it.”
Arst Ed’s Note:
I heard (on Capital radio) that a recent survey of 20,000
Bangkokians revealed that 80% of them would answer their
mobile while having sex !!
Now I don’t know what the significance of that is, but I
would be pretty upset if ‘my lady’ started to have a mobile
phone conversation with someone when I was in my nuptials.
Researchers have found “highly significant” evidence for damages
to brain cells in rats exposed for 2 hrs to microwaves from mobile phones;
and these damages were still seen 50 days after the exposure.
One quarter of the world’s population is now exposing themselves
to microwaves from hand-held mobile phones. The research team in
Lundt University, Sweden, led by Leif Salford, referred to this as “the largest
human biologic experiment ever”. They point out that soon, microwaves
will be emitted by an abundance of other appliances in the ‘cordless’ office and in the home.
Most researchers have concentrated on the question of whether
radiofrequency electromagnetic fields can induce or promote cancer, but
the evidence appears conflicting.

Restaurant Reviews
Zen Bar & Café: Located on Pratamnuk road between Soi 3 &
Soi 4 is one of the newest restaurants to join the Frugal Freddy
group, open from 9am to midnight. It opened in June with a
large selection of Farang and Thai foods in a comfortable A/C
setting with lots of eye candy both inside and outside of the
next door establishments. On one side of Zen is the coyote
bar appropriately called “Eye Candy” and on the other side is a
gentleman’s club called “the Lounge”.
Zen is a split level Café featuring seating for 30 on the
inside mezzanine and a B20 pool table and a large screen TV
for entertainment. No girls from the two adjoining establishments are allowed in so no one will bother you while you have
a quiet meal listening to soft background music familiar to the
baby boomer crowd. There is seating on the lower level for an
additional 10 people at tables or you can sit at the bar. Outside
all across the front of the 3 establishments are attractive picnic
tables with large umbrellas to hold back the sun. These are both
for your dining pleasure and a place the girls from next door like
to sit, apply makeup and just chat with themselves and their
current admirers.
The day Rita and I ate there we chose to sit inside I started
with a lamb stew (b200) but Rita cannot fathom eating those
cute little animals so she opted for their featured dish appropriately called “the Big Assed Burger”. It is 1/3 lb ground beef on
sesame seed bun with lettuce, tomato onion and a generous order of seasoned French fries. She ordered it medium and to my
and her surprise it was just that, pink inside. Fries were perfectly
cooked. Total cost a frugal B90 and for B20 more you can add
cheese and B50 more gets you a double patty so almost a ¾ lb
of beef. My lamb stew was both tender and tasty with potatoes
and carrots and a lump of dough called an Atora dumpling. I
think you must be English to appreciate it. It was about as heavy
as a uncooked lump of dough and not really capable of absorbing the succulent gravy that was featured. I much prefer the
light airy dumplings that mom used to make that absorb the
gravy, I like sopping it up with a slice of bread (next time I will
ask for a slice or 2).
We shared a generous Ceasar’s Salad (b120)with hot grilled
chicken on top of fresh lettuce and a side dish of Ceasar’s dressing so you can add as little or as much as you like. This was a
very good choice for me but Rita struggled to eat her burger
and had little room for salad. Rita spotted her favorite dessert on
the menu, apple crumble (b80) and as usual she managed to eat
all of that with a big smile. I opted for the rhubarb crumble (b80)
which was ok but not as tart as I remember the rhubarb pies
from my early years in Canada.
Other reasonably priced items on the menu are 7 different
7” square pizzas (b125), BLT sandwich (B60), steak and onion or
mushroom or kidney pie (b85) or for the same price if you prefer
chicken you can have chicken and mushroom or chicken and
ham pie. After lunch or if you fancy a drink and a place to relax
the Lounge has over 50 whiskeys and Scotches and wine cellar
along with Cuban and Dominican Republic cigars, plush furniture, attractive companionship and short time rooms for taking
a nap at very reasonable prices.
Robin’s Nestaurant: (Pictured Left Page & below) located on
Soi Diana by the entrance to LK Metro. November, December
and January they are featuring a buffet on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays with a spread of over 20 different items for only
B169 B179, reasonably priced drinks and an extensive inex-
pensive menu and open 24 hours. Last week Rita and I and
the Frugal Freddy group were invited by Robin to come try his
buffet and no one came back hungry or disappointed. Monday
is his stew and pasta night and we were presented with a spread
Page 34
of food that included many different stews, pastas, potatoes,
salad and of course dessert. Dessert each night consisted of a
fresh chopped fruit salad with apples, pears, grapes (seedless)
watermelon and other various fruits in a nice sweet sauce and
on top of that you could add ice cream or have it as a side dish.
The choices of ice cream were vanilla, chocolate chip and a very
tasty lime ice cream. What a deal for only B169, you must buy
one drink but you can choose from water to wine and anything
in between. Double shots of mixed drinks are priced at only B69
so how can you go wrong.
We came back again on Wednesday for curry night featuring similar side dishes and desserts but this time the main
dishes were Indian Curry, Thai Curry, English Curry all of which
I liked. My way of eating these types of buffets is to get a small
scoop of each dish then go back and get a bowl of the ones
I liked best but they all were so good that it was so hard to
choose.
On Friday is the Shish Kabob night this time they included
a tossed salad bar, chicken, pork and beef kabobs and off course
the desserts. Monday and Wednesday I started with the desserts
to make sure I had room because at these buffets I often am too
stuffed for dessert. Friday I ate traditionally and had dessert last
so I had only 1 helping vs 3 on Monday and 2 on Wednesday.
I know where I will be for Christmas dinner as Robin is having his traditional Christmas buffet featuring Turkey Ham and
all the goodies that go with it for only B349. Reservations not required, first come first served but if you come late Robin promises not to run out of food but no promises as to how long you
may have to wait for a seat. If you don’t like crowds or waiting
then I suggest you come on Boxing Day (day after Christmas) for
the same meal if any is left along with turkey soup and the price
drops to B249.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Frugal Freddy.

Survival
of the
B
Fittest
eing new to Pattaya, the a-go-go experience
was still unfamiliar to me. Having been lured
into one such establishment, I entered with
uncertainty. Naturally, all of the seats along the
walls were occupied, so I had to make do with
one of the exposed stools that
surrounded the stage. Sitting
there all alone, I felt extremely
vulnerable and about as inconspicuous as a wolverine in
a hair salon.
With my second tumbler
of courage in front of me, I
took a huge sip, just as she
stepped onto the stage. The
Diva’s beauty was the kind
that caused both men and
women to stop and stare. I
sensed every male in the bar
devouring her breathtaking form, while my own eyes
danced across every inch of
her perfect face and figure
like pings on a sonar. When
she glanced down at me, I
stupidly upped the wattage
of my smile and nervously
made eye contact.
On stage, the Diva’s keen
eyes seemed to be searching
for prey. They darted from
man to man like a matador
sizing up a bull. When she
moved off the stage, headed in my direction, for some reason,
the alarm in my subconscious went off and I hoped she would
pass me by. But the Diva was a magnificently skilled predator
who instinctively knew that I was fresh meat. She pounced on me
Page 36
A short story by B. S.
(That’s him above)
like one of those hungry lionesses that you see hunting on the
National Geographic channel. Then it hit me. This was Darwinism at its finest---natural selection---the law of the wild. I was the
slowest zebra in the herd!
Flashing a carnivore’s smile that
radiated neither friendliness, humor
nor warmth she sat next to me. I
knew then that this was going to be
a one sided struggle for possession
of my wallet. Not knowing what to
do in the presence of such beauty,
I panicked and offered her a drink.
The Diva downed the tequila in record time and promptly gave me the
third degree. She vacuumed me like
a rug for information to determine
whether or not I was worth her valuable time. Somehow she deduced
that my pockets reached all the way
down to my ankles.
Up close, I had to admit that
the Diva was an extremely attractive young woman, that is until she
spoke, at which point she became
decidedly less so. After the inquisition she gave me the kind of look
that flashed in bright neon hues:
“BULLSHIT TO FOLLOW”, and then
recited, for what seemed like forever,
her burdens in life, “Now falung jai
dee no come bar, only hab cheap
Charlie”---“Me hab nit noy money”--“Mamma me mai sabai”---“Me tire, work too much, wan sleep”
… then her countenance brightened when she remembered to
add, “You can buy lady anoder drink?” Knowing full well that the
female of the species is always more deadly, I reluctantly nodded
yes. Once her jaws were firmly clamped around my throat, she
wasted no time in ordering another tequila and then called two
of her minions over to join in on the kill.
could easily be mistaken for the high-priestess of the underworld,
or at the very least for one of Lucifer’s chief lieutenants.
The Diva’s timing was impeccable, her second tequila was
history, introductions had been made, the booze bearer was conveniently headed back to the bar and she ordered another round
for all without my consent. Its funny the things alcohol make
you do---like stop thinking and before I knew it I had accented
to another trio of lady drinks for the Diva and her entourage. It
was then that I realized that I was all but immobilized with the
knowledge that I had confronted a field of conflict in which I was
powerless to defend myself.
At last the Diva finally went to the ladies room. I seized that
moment to hastily check-bin and without waiting for change, I
tip-toed out of the bar like a man leaving church early. For me,
crossing paths with the beautiful but unlikable Diva had been an
expensive but educational lesson to the inherent dangers of the
beguiling beauty in this town. But even with my wallet considerably lighter and my manly pride sufficiently bruised, I was one of
the lucky few. I had survived being mauled by the Diva and unlike
many others, I had escaped with only minor damage to my backside, bank account and self esteem.
To my dismay, I had agreed to another round of beverages,
which only confirmed that I had yet to gather what was left of
my wits into an orderly troop. But before I surrendered to the
Diva completely, I had the notion that I could buy my way out of
this nightmare. I lamely held out a few pink notes and mumbled
something about, “Preferring to sit alone.” Bad idea. First, the all
Thai banter ceases and the Diva and her lackeys glared at me
in unison like I was a talking baboon. Then the money instantly
disappeared like a flame underwater; and then all three shook
their heads with derision before they resumed talking in tongues.
As their urgent talk flowed past my ears, I imagined the words,
“Can I have your money, your car, your house, your first born, your
soul…” When the sixth round of liquid refreshments appeared it
was truly a woeful testament to my inability to say no. It was at
moments like this that I regretted that I lacked the sand to muster
overt rudeness.
As I refilled the meager contents of my wallet from a nearby
ATM, I smiled at the Diva’s ultimate fate. For I knew that she
wouldn’t remain at the top of beauty’s food chain forever. Because now, in her prime she had just two things going for her--her amazing beauty and the kindness of men. But the clock was
ticking and the clueless Diva was unaware of the revenge that
Mother Nature had in store for her. Somewhere down the line, in
the not too distant future her astonishing good looks would diminish and soon be gone, and so too would the kindness of men.
I had to do something. I was mired neck deep in the quicksand of social discomfort and it only got worse. My wallet started
to go code blue and I began to see the bright light at the end of
the tunnel! Somehow I had been snookered by the Diva. How
could this happen? This brainless beauty had an IQ somewhere
around room temperature. I was convinced that if an original
thought ever entered her mind, it was doomed to die of loneliness. For my wallet’s sake I had to extract it and me from her maw
soon! But how? Experience had already proven that my feeble
pleas at bargaining and bribery had no effect on the dim-witted
Diva and I concluded that while the potential of another tip or
tequila existed she wouldn’t even care if I had an extended case
of demonic possession!
After being coaxed into purchasing a bucket of ping-pong
balls and saying yes instead of no to even more libations, the
Diva’s bright beauty began to dim considerably. So what if she
looked like a goddess. After spending a fortune and nearly two
hours in her company I was miserable. Aside from her obvious
physical charms, I had discovered that she had the personality of
a broken toaster, an ego the size of Chonburi, the manners of a
junk-yard dog, the ethical scruples of a scorpion, the charm of a
cobra and all the appeal of a glass of expectorated phlegm! Plus, I
was reasonably certain that with just a little light from below, she

It was Paddy and Seamus giving the motorcycle a ride on a
brisk autumn day. After a wee bit, Paddy who was sitt’n behind
Seamus on the bike began to holler ...”Seamus ... Seamus ... the
wind is cutt’n me chest out!”
“Well, Paddy my lad,” said Seamus, “why don’t you take your
jacket off and turn it from front to back ... that’ll block the wind
for you.”
So Paddy took Seamus’ advice and turned his jacket from
front to back and got back on the bike and the two of them were
off down the road again. After a bit, Seamus turned to talk to
Paddy and was horrified to see that Paddy was not there. Seamus
immediately turned the bike around and retraced their route.
When after a short time he came to a turn and saw a bunch of
farmers standing around Paddy who was sitting on the ground.
“T’anks be to heaven, is he alright?” Seamus hailed to the
farmers.
“Well,” said one of the farmers, “ he was alright when we
found him here .. but since we turned his head back to front .. he
hasn’t said a word since!”
e have one update on European Courts of
Justice rulings. The Supreme Court has determined that the Home Office’s ban on married
visa applicants ( or their sponsor) under the
age of 21 who wanted to apply for a settlement visa for the UK was in contravention of Article 8 of the
European Convention on Human Rights ( basically, the right to
family life ). The Home Office’s reasoning in bringing in the ban
on spouse visa applicants ( and their British sponsor ) being under the age of 21 was that they were trying to protect younger
people being forced ( in some cultures) to marry (against their
will ). The Supreme Court is saying, in effect, that the Home Office’ s ban is disproportionate in that it also bans couples, where
one or both is under the age of 21, from applying for a visa even
though they are in an unforced marriage. Lord Wilson, of the
Supreme Court, says of the Secretary of State’s introduction of
the ban :
[The Secretary of State] clearly fails to establish … that
the amendment is no more than is necessary to accomplish her
objective and … that it strikes a fair balance between the rights
of the parties to unforced marriages and the interests of the
community in preventing forced marriages. On any view it is a
sledge-hammer but she has not attempted to identify the size
of the nut. At all events she fails to establish that the interference with the rights of the respondents under article 8 is justified.
Strong words, and another setback for the Home Office.
I have some sympathy with the Home Office reasoning behind the introduction of the ban as they said that it was being
introduced to try to protect the vulnerable young members of
certain cultures who were being forced into marriage. Unfortunately, the ban was all too encompassing for European law, and
wide-ranging Article 8 of the European Convention. But, and it
is a big but, the ruling does not mean that the age limit is automatically lowered as this now requires a change in the law, the
Immigration Rules. Until the Immigration Rules are changed,
the age limit remains, in law, the same as it is now - 21. It would
indeed be interesting to know what decision a visa officer would
come to if an application from an “under-age” applicant was
submitted now. This is the view of a person far wiser than me .
“While the Border Agency think about what to do, Entry
Clearance Officer and Immigration Officers may well continue
to apply the old law. The UKBA have a poor record at respecting
court judgments and the Immigration Rules remain as they were
until they are altered by a formal Statement of Changes. However, if an appeal is lodged and pursued an Immigration Judge
will allow an appeal based purely on age.”
The situation may have been rectified by the time this
article gets to print, of course.

On a different subject altogether, the British government
has said that it will be getting tougher with what they call “ health
tourists”, that is visitors who have medical treatment in the UK, and
don’t pay for it. The UK Immigration Minister said :
“Overseas visitors who fail to pay off their debts for NHS treatment
will soon be denied permission to enter or stay in the UK, Immigration
Minister Damian Green has announced.
Changes to the Immigration Rules were laid in Parliament today,
meaning that those subject to immigration control who fail to settle an
outstanding bill of £1,000 or more will not be allowed to enter or remain
in the UK until the debt is paid off.”
In theory, the NHS will provide details of NHS “ debtors” to
the UKBA, and that information will be available to visa officers
and to immigration officers at UK ports. Visa applicants identified
as being NHS debtors will be refused visas for the UK. The Minister
says:
‘It’s very simple - pay up or you won’t be welcome in the UK.’ Strong
words, indeed.

Two young men approached her, asking “Which way is it to

She said, “Oh, I know you guys, you just want me to point so

“No, no,” they said, “we just want to know what direction we

The British Contribution to Thailand’s
Part 2
T
War on Communism
By Duncan Stearn
he first part of this article, published last month, covered
the official opening ceremony for a British-built airfield
in the northeast of Thailand at a place called Leong Nok
Tha in Ubon Ratchathani province. The British had been
asked by the United States, under the terms of the 1954
South East Asia Treaty
Organisation (SEATO)
alliance to provide some help to
fight the advance of Communism
in Thailand. Britain agreed to send a
force of unarmed engineers in 1964
to construct an airfield. After this
was completed and opened in June
1965, some 300 officers and men
were set to work on constructing a
32-kilometre long road leading from
the airfield and stretching into the
province of Roi Et.
The Illustrated News article claimed the road was ‘being built
in a Communist-infested area, where the lack of communication
has long left the villages and hamlets at the mercy of a terrorist
movement directed by about 100 hard-core guerrillas. Village
headmen, teachers, police and government officials have been
attacked or killed. It is estimated that 40
percent of the people in the district are
Communist sympathisers.’ A nearby village,
Ban Dan, located 13 kilometres from the
main British camp had been quarantined
by Thai troops and police because it was
considered completely Communist.
This road would eventually link
up with another being constructed
by Thai engineers, under American
supervision. Five teak bridges were
thrown across streams and rivers,
with laterite, a brick-coloured
rock quarried from the region
used as the main ingredient for
the tarmac. The British soldiers
brought in topsoil to replace the
laterite, thereby providing new rice
paddies for villagers. The British
engineers also sank a number of
new wells ‘in many villages where
the people…formerly had to rely
on bore water during the dry
season.’
Page 40
Although the London Illustrated News
article claimed there were only 100 hardcore guerrillas, stories in other publications
referred to much higher numbers, whether
for propaganda purposes or simple
misunderstanding is hard to gauge.
During all the time the British operated
in the region, the guerrillas never subjected
them to an attack. Lieutenant-Colonel H.
Browne, the commander of the British roadbuilders, attributed this to his squadron’s
strictly non-military role.“We have absolutely
no military motive here whatsoever, and
we could just as well be building a road
in another province where there are no
terrorists,” he was quoted as saying. “But
I suppose you could say that by building
this road and providing communication
between the villages and hamlets we are
giving the area a means of developing
itself, and in the long run helping defeat a
Communist takeover of the district.”
The British engineers spent four years in the northeast, finally
departing in mid-1968. Unfortunately, their legacy was mixed. On a
positive note, the airfield and road construction definitely improved
communications over a wide area. On the negative side, despite
the British and American efforts at winning hearts and minds, the
communist insurgency escalated. Indeed, even as the Loeng Nok
Tha airfield was being readied for handover in 1965, the Chinese
foreign minister Chen Yi was predicting the northeast would soon
erupt in revolt against the government in Bangkok. Certainly the
numbers of insurgents grew.
When Thailand agreed to send troops to fight in South Vietnam
in 1968, Thanom Kittikachorn was quoted by TIME magazine
as saying, “Even today the Communists are infiltrating Thailand
and increasing their subversive actions against our country.” The
magazine claimed there were ‘at least 2,000 guerrillas’ roaming the
northeast.
An article published in a 1970 edition of the Bangkok
World magazine claimed, ‘Results from the “development stops
Communism” policy have been poor, and the present situation
strongly suggests we may have overlooked the real issues. It has been
made sufficiently clear now that we cannot buy loyalty with wells or
roads, and that being richer is no guarantee against insurgency…’
The fundamental underlying problem, according to analysts, was
the arbitrary and unfair distribution of wealth and power, with the
politicians and military based in Bangkok viewed more as enemies
of the people rather than as a benevolent government.
Field Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn was born in Tak Province, on
August 11, 1911, son of Khun Sopitbannaraksa (Amphan Kittikachorn)
and Mrs. Linchee Kittikachorn. He later married Than Phuying Jongkol
Kittikachorn.
Field Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn received his formal education
first at Wat Koak Plu Municipal School, Tak Province, and Army Cadet
Academy. Afterwards, while rendering service to the state, he furthered
his study at the Cartography School, Infantry School and National Defense College (Class I), respectively.
He rendered his full service first at Infantry Regiment VIII, Regional
Headquarters I, Chiangmai Province. In November 8, 1947, he joined the
Coup d’Etat and was finally appointed Commander of Headquarters I.
Field Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn was appointed Deputy Minister of Defense, during the term of Field Marrshal Plaek Pibulsongkram,
and Minister of Defense, during the term of Mr. Pote Sarasin.
On January 1, 1958, Field Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn was
appointed Prime Minister for 9 months, before Field Marshal Sarit
Dhanarajata was to take office. Over the decease of Field Marshal Sarit,
Field Marshal Thanom was re-appointed Prime Minister. During the
terms of Field Marshal Thanom, there had been constant development
There were rumours the airfield at Loeng Nok Tha was used
by the Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) airline Air America for
its clandestine incursions during the secret war against Laos, but
this has never been confirmed. The remains of the airfield are still
there, while the British-built road became part of a vast network
that connected the northeast with the main national road system,
thereby helping develop the region and playing a small but
significant role in attempting to help the central government fight
its war on communism in the region.
I would particularly like to thank Hank Lawrence, who worked on
Operation Crown, for his valuable input and would suggest anyone

in many infrastructure projects, e.g., highways, Sirikit and Ubonrat Dams.
In addition, the army had
been also highly upgraded.
In 1971, Field Marshal
Thanom Kittikachorn staged
the Coup d’Etat of his own
government and set up the
Coup d’Etat Council with its
own Constitution. On December 15, 1972, the Parliament granted an approval
for his last term in office.
On October 14, 1973,
Field Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn resigned from the
position, after the Pro- Democracy Unrest was vigorized and went into exile.
He is now enjoying the

son Percy (Paul Dano). But Percy has
been kidnapped, along with many
other townspeople, by a bunch of
extra-terrestrial varmints with slurpy
tentacles and fancy bleeping spaceships. So Jake and Woodrow have to
saddle up, organise a posse and get
their six-guns at the ready to take on
these darned inter-planetary interDaniel Craig as Jake
lopers. But that bracelet, and various
fuzzy flashbacks, give Jake the awful
feeling that he has in fact already been
kidnapped, experimented upon and
dropped back on to the burning scrub.
Of course it’s actually Cowboys &
Indians & Aliens. Native Americans are
given a number of reasonable roles.
The movie is careful not to demonise harrison ford as Colonel
them, and in fact makes a big deal of Dolarhyde
making Jake beat up some bad, nasty
white cowboys who have severed
scalps on their belts. Our postmodern searchers are not aware of Native
Americans carrying out such practices.
Dear Constant readers.
I don’t care what the experts say, Cowboys and Aliens is a
good movie. It’s certainly a movie with a difference. Some of
my favourite stars have a part in the film and the action starts
pretty soon after the film begins.
This review is written by Mr. Peter Bradshaw of the UK
paper The Guardian. He says it much better than I ever could.
So read on:
In 1875, an escaped outlaw called Jake Lonergan, played
by Daniel Craig with a perpetual, lemon-sucking facial expression, finds himself waking up in the middle of the desert with
no memory, and a weird metal bracelet clamped around his
wrist. Jake is to join forces with a cantankerous, aggressive old
cattle-magnate called Woodrow Dolarhyde, played by Harrison
Ford, who has cause to hate Jake for beating up his no-good
Page 42
It would be nice to think Cowboys & Aliens was an intentional satire
on the Hollywood myth factory endlessly dramatising homely-yet-heroic
Olivia Wilde as Ella
frontiersmen taking on the sinister
unknown, whether in the Old West or Swenson
on the Planet Vorg. It would be nice to
think it was a commentary on white
America’s fear of the Other, or on the
simple fact that for the Native American, it was the cowboys who were the
aliens. And despite a very big reveal
around halfway through the film, it’s
not clear if the film quite realises that
in both the Western and the sci-fi
worlds, the real aliens are the womenfolk.
Paul Dano as Percy Dollarhyde
But really, no. It’s just a big gag,
which is played out with worryingly little in the way of comedy. Of
course, doing it absolutely straight is sound reasoning, but it’s actually not played all that straight. There’s an implied wink or a grin or
a giggle running through the whole movie. And the awful truth is
that the cowboy-world-meeting-the-spaceship-world mashup has
already been done, triumphantly, by the Toy Story movies, with the
friendship of Buzz Lightyear and Sheriff Woody.
This isn’t to say there aren’t a few laughs. As in
Independence Day, there is some comedy value in
punching a gloopy alien right on the jaw. Craig has a
nice moment when, full tilt on a galloping horse, he
comes up alongside a low-flying enemy spaceship
and leaps from his mount right over on to it.
Finally, Jake and Woodrow’s posse discover the alien’s mothership in the
middle of the desert. This vast, gaunt structure is a bit of a disappointment. It is not
the traditional saucer-shaped metal form, with glowing perimeter lights best seen
by night. No, it’s a great big ugly lump of a thing; it looks like the multi-storey car
park in Get Carter, designed for throwing dodgy Newcastle businessmen to their
deaths. But this is the HQ/command centre for the aliens.
So what’s with Jake’s bracelet? Well, it turns out that he can use it to shoot at
aliens and alien spacecraft. That’s
convenient. Without it, and relying on just their guns, our poor
cowboys wouldn’t stand a chance.
So how has Jake come to be left
with a weapon that can be used so
devastatingly against the aliens?
How indeed? This question is
never satisfactorily answered. And
in fact the whole of the backstory,
the whole of Jake’s existence up
until now, and why precisely the
aliens need to kidnap people like
this, is all a bit fuzzy. Audiences
may find themselves wondering
if the aliens followed traditional
techniques, and used the anal
probe. It might explain Daniel
Craig’s pursed-lips expression.

CAUGHT
ON
CAMERA
Another tale from the prolific
writer Mike Bell.
E
very where they went in Pattaya there were these
signs: Absolutely No Photographs. Even on Walking Street if you tried to take pictures of Katoeys,
you got hassled for money. Brian and Jezz were
frustrated. It was their gap year; they were having
the holiday of a lifetime. Their parents had given them a generous allowance for their month long tour of Thailand.
They had seen some amazing sights – elephants on the
street, temples, monks, all lovingly captured on camera
for their parents. What they wanted were some photos
for their new student friends; photos of girls in sexy
shows; bananas and ping-pong balls. Every time their
camera came out, muscular Thai bouncers would materialize out of thin air. Sometimes they were friendly;
sometimes menacing.
They agreed that before they tried their luck in A Go-Go
bars, they would photograph the neon sign outside so they could
identify the pictures later. They wanted to do the whole alphabet from Airport, Alcatraz, Angelwitch through to Windmill and
X-Zone. They quickly realized that their budget would not run to
two drinks in each bar even at draught beer prices. They decided
to only do five. By the end of the night they’d probably taken five
hundred photos and were a little tired and emotional when they
tumbled back to their room. They decided to check their pictures
out next morning.
birthday. They screwed on the wide angled lens – a 12-24mm.
Carefully they packed lots of soft underwear round it jamming it
firmly into position. Using a Stanley knife they cut a flap in the
canvas and stuck some Velcro round it. It could thus be sealed
and re-sealed in moments.
Next they taped the infrared wireless shutter release to
Brian’s arm. He put on a long-sleeved shirt for the first time in
SE Asia. Then they were ready to start capturing the essence of
Pattaya.
They started off low key at first: going into a couple of bars
across the road; chatting to a couple of girls and snapping away.
Then they rushed back to their room to view their triumphs.
They’d taken about twenty and in truth only about five were any
good. The others were blurred and out of focus; or there was a
bottle in the middle of the frame. They adjusted the autofocus
system setting the ISO at 3200 and set the shutter speed to its
Suddenly Jezz burst in on him, brandishing a copy of Pattaya Today. ‘Get the pictures from the last bar up.’ His voice had a
strangled pitch to it and Brian obeyed wordlessly. ‘It’s her, definitely.’ Jezz was glancing from the newspaper to the photos on
the laptop. He read out some of the story to Brian’s horrified ear.
‘Miss Warina Kittysak, 23 of Buriram, was found dead at her place
of work last night. The proprietor of Exotic Girls a-Go-Go found
the corpse of one of his dancers as he was locking up the club at
1.30 am. Poisoning is suspected. ’
They studied the vivid picture splashed across the front
page and compared it with their own. There when was no doubt
about it. ‘Now flick on a couple,’ Jezz commanded hoarsely.
Which ever one of them had been operating the shutter last
night had been fascinated by Miss Kittysak – there were five in
all. Firstly dancing on a brightly lit stage amongst others; then
a couple more of her having a drink in a darkened corner with a
customer. ‘Look at the time and date.’ Jezz pointed at the corner.
‘Ten minutes before closing. Zoom in on the guy.’
Eventually they decided to bite the bullet. They
made their careful preparations in their shared room at
The Bijou Hotel, Soi Post Office. They’d bought a cheap
carry-all bag from the Made in Thailand market. They
placed the camera inside. It was a top of the range
Nikon DSLR D3X belonging to Brian’s dad. ‘If you should
get arrested and jailed, be sure to mail me the camera
back.’ Those were his dad’s parting words. The camera was his special joy, an expensive toy for his fiftieth
Page 44
They had a leisurely breakfast before they returned to view
their illicit spoils. They were delighted. By setting the aperture at
f/1.4 many of the photos were crystal clear. There was the occasional dud where the subject was moving and the picture was
incredibly blurred, but for the most part they captured the beautiful essence of Thai girls. Feeling well satisfied with his night
work, Jezz went for a coffee, whilst Brian uploaded the photos on
to the Net.
Though grainy, it clearly showed the farang’s face; swarthy,
a gold earring and an unpleasant smile. The final photo showed
the girl sitting seemingly asleep, her hands clasped across her
belly. Brian delivered the verdict. ‘She’s dead. He’s done her.’
They had their first serious argument of the holiday. Jezz
was incensed and wanted to walk up Beach Road to the police
station immediately. Brian wanted to be more cautious. ‘We
broke the first rule of Pattaya; No Photographs. Even if and when
they catch him, they won’t thank us; they’ll confiscate my dad’s
camera, fine us or bang us up.’
Eventually Brian’s objections were overcome and they took
a memory stick of the photos to the Police Station and asked to
speak to the officer in charge of the investigation.
‘My name is Colonel Supatchai. My desk officer tells me
you have some incriminating photos.’ With bated breath they
watched the police chief flick through the photos. He was particularly interested in the enhanced one of the farang. ‘I know
this man. He is a suspected drug dealer. How long will you stay
in Pattaya?’
There was an anxious three days of waiting and then a
message left at the hotel desk asking them to call in at the police
station.
Colonel Supatchai was very pleased, his face wreathed in
smiles. ‘Your photos were very valuable. We have arrested the
man and, once he saw the photo confessed to giving the girl a
drugged drink. The Thai Police would like to thank you and give
you a five thousand baht reward for your assistance.’ He beamed
at the boys and pushed a pile of notes towards them. As they
reached across the desk for them, his countenance changed.
‘Now we must turn to the illicit photographs themselves. You
have committed an offence against Pattaya by-laws and so must
pay a fine.’
As the youths sat open-mouthed in astonishment, his hands
closed on the reward. He smiled again, ‘Shall we say six thousand
baht? I think you owe me five hundred baht each. Payable now!’

Due to the recent flooding the

time was a little later than published.
I awoke at around 7am to find the

We took the overnight sleeper train from Hualampong Station,
Bangkok, it really is simple to get there from Pattaya. A bus from
the bus station on North Pattaya Road will whisk you to Ekamai bus
station in Bangkok for a paltry 113Baht each, Taking the Skytrain
from Ekamai Skytrain station, is only a two minute walk from the bus
station, and for a fare of 20Baht will transport you to Asoke Station
where upon alighting you can make your way to the MRT Underground to Hualampong train station, the fare being 26Baht. The
underground walkway that takes you directly into the train station
was closed to pedestrians but the train station is only across the
road from the exit that was open.
We boarded the sleeper train which left on time at 18.10.
Around 20.00hrs a very attractive female attendant began making up the bunk bed accommodation. My travelling companion
preferring the upper bunk, not realising the lower bed had much
more room, plus the benefit of being able to look out the window.
The fare was 791Bt for the upper bunk and 881Bt for the lower, this
was 2nd class and a double first class compartment could also be
obtained for a still very reasonable fare of 1,253 Baht for the upper
bunk, and 1,453 Bt. For the lower bunk.
Other very attentive attendants took care of ones culinary
needs including taking orders for breakfast or coffee for the morning.

The hotel has a large area on the ground floor which
serves as a dining area, but many guests also use their computers here as free Wi Fi is provided. For those not travelling
with a laptop/notebook, there is a computer room where
internet access is 30Baht an hour.
Ground floor also has a reasonable size swimming
pool, and also in the foyer area excursions/treks/trips can be
booked.
Behind the reception desk small secure storage boxes
are provided free, but you need to have your own padlock.
The hotels ‘Comments’ book is full of glowing recommendations. I’m sure there is cheaper or more expensive accommodation available in the area, but this is one hotel I would
recommend.
On our second day we took a trip up to the Wat Pra
Thart Doi Suthep Temple, situated high on the mountains above
Chiang Mai the drive up and down was more like a twisting and
turning drive through the Swiss Alps, on arrival I was told that
there were a further 309 steps to climb to the Temple itself, I took
their word for it, having lost count (and my breath) before half
way. For the infirm or disabled there is an ‘escalator’ which will
get you to the top. It was certainly worth the effort, as from the
viewpoint the whole of Chiang Mai, including the airport could be
seen.
On the third day we did the ‘tourist’ thing and went on a trip
where we rode elephants, floated down river on bamboo rafts,
had a ride in an Ox cart and visited the Orchid farm, arriving back
at the hotel around 5pm. After a shower and a short rest, we were
off to the Night Bazaar, only about a ten minute walk from the
hotel. The Night Bazaar was big, but like most markets in Thailand the only difference was in the name of the location on the ‘T’
shirts, in this case ‘Chiang Mai’. I must say though that I did consider the prices of souvenirs much higher than in Pattaya.
The fourth day I became the ‘Tour Guide’, on foot visiting
many of the Temples within the walls of the old City, for those
not wishing to walk, on a previous trip I had hired a Tuk Tuk from
10am to 4pm, and the driver took me round most of the Temples
in the inner City, and some outside, we stopped off for lunch at
a very reasonable ‘local’ establishment and the cost of driver and
transport for the day was only 700Baht.
should follow him, taking us to a room, he opened it with a grin,
as it was the accommodation I had booked, he burst into laughter
when I chided him calling him a ‘Bad man’, for the joke!!.
We had a twin fan room, with shower, at 400Baht per night
for the room, I’ve always found that with the colder climate in Chiang Mai, that a fan room was adequate and in fact found we could
even turn the fan off during the night.
By 5pm having walked most of the day we were ‘Templed
out’, and returned to the hotel. The previous evening at the Night
Bazaar my companion had seen a handbag she liked. At the
shop she was too shy to ‘Haggle’, we returned to the Night Bazaar
and it was down to me to get the price down from 2,200Baht to
1100Baht!!, the shop keeper giving me odd looks, as though he
thought I was buying it for myself!!.
The fifth day I hired a Baht Bus to take us to the hot springs
outside Chiang Mai, here you can either dangle your legs in the
hot spring water, or if you take your swim suit you can swim in
the pool for a very modest charge, then after if you are feeling a
little peckish you can buy some eggs in a small wicker basket, and
hang them to cook in the hot spring water which is at 105 degrees
Centigrade, there is even a ‘guide’ as to how long to leave them
in, dependant on how you like your eggs!!. Taking in the Umbrella
factory, the Silk Village, and two gem factories on the way back
to the hotel, our little outing took over four hours and cost just
800Baht to hire the Baht bus and driver.
After a little respite we went off again to visit some Temples
we had missed the previous day. In preparation for our return by
day train the in the morning, my companion treated herself to an
oil massage, hoping to ward off the effects of sitting on the train
for an extended period.
Our taxi came as ordered the following morning at 7.30am,
and we were at the train station for the return trip an hour before
departure time, which left us time to have a coffee and buy some
‘nibbles’ before we boarded the train. The fare on the day train
is a little less than the sleeper at 611Baht each. On the journey
back before night fell, we saw many of the areas devastated by
the flooding, also many relics of the colonial era, including railway
cranes having been made by old engineering firms in Leeds UK,
no doubt now long gone.
Arriving in Bangkok at around midnight, the first bus to Pattaya from Ekamai was 4am, so with a little hard bargaining with
a Bangkok Taxi driver we arrived at a fare of 1100Baht to Pattaya,
and after a quick drive back we were able to retire and hopefully
sleep off any aches from the long rail trip just after 2am.
Details of train services to Chiang Mai can be obtained from
the web site of www.thairailticket.com and bookings can be made
on line by credit card, it is best to book the sleeper train well
ahead as it gets booked up very quickly and sometimes for days
ahead. You can book in person at Hualampong Train Station up to
60 days ahead.

PCEC Meeting – Monthly Review – September 2011
The Pattaya City Expats Club (PCEC) meets every Sunday at Amari Orchid Resort’s The Tavern by the Sea Restaurant at the northern end
of Pattaya Beach Road. For more information regarding not only the PCEC Sunday meetings, but also the large number of mid-week activities,
visit the Club’s website at www.pattayacityexpatsclub.com. The website also has useful information about living in Thailand and about Thai
immigration and visa requirements. If you would like a copy of the Club’s weekly Newsletter emailed to you, you can subscribe by visiting the
Club’s website.
The meeting atmosphere is always relaxed, informal and friendly with everyone being welcome. The format of the meeting is similar each
week. There is usually a guest speaker, sometimes more than one, on topics of interest to Expats. In addition to announcement of forthcoming
events in and around Pattaya, the Open Forum, which follows the regular program, is always a lively and entertaining session, when questions
can be asked or information exchanged about Expat living in Thailand and Pattaya in particular. If you weren’t there, here are the highlights of
the meetings in September 2011.
On October 2, Ric O’Barry described his role in the Oscar
winning documentary “The Cove.” He showed excerpts of the
film including the brutality
of slaying dolphins at the
Japanese village of Taiji.
However, his main complaint
was against the dolphin
trainers that come to this annual event to select dolphins
for various dolphinariums
around the world paying
upwards of US $140,000 for
the dolphins they select.
It is this that provides the
financial reward for the
dolphin hunt and slaughter.
He described the plight of
dolphins in captivity and
solicited everyone’s help in
ending the holding of dolphins in captivity.
Mr. Danny Quaeyhaegens, Director, International Insurance Department, from Bangkok Hospital Pattaya (BHP) was the
guest speaker on October 16.
He explained the operation
of the International Insurance
Dept. and how they provide
assistance in obtaining coverage from your international
health insurance policy. He
emphasized that the extent
and amount of coverage
will depend on your policy
and that BHP only acts as a
go between to assist you in
getting medical treatment
direct billed to your insurance
company overseas or getting
the documents you need to
claim reimbursement direct if
your insurance cannot be direct billed.
On October 9, internationally acclaimed violin player
and orchestra conductor Leo Phillips talked about classical music
and how he felt it had become too commercial with the visual
becoming more important then
the oral for many young musicians. He felt that marketing
gets in the way and music can’t
reach your soul. Leo said he
is most proud of his work as a
teacher, a role that he has embraced with gusto since relocating to Thailand in 2003. Leo has
been performing and teaching in Thailand and elsewhere
around Asia, Australia and New
Zealand. He said that in the next
few months he hopes to organize a small group of musicians that
can travel around and play in smaller venues such as Pattaya.
It was an entertaining morning on October 23rd when
Barry Upton played his guitar and sang several songs for the
audience. Barry currently has a morning show on Pattaya station
96FM. In between songs, Barry described his long career in music
beginning in the UK
and Europe. He was a
musician and frontline
member with Brotherhood Of Man band and
later became a studio
producer. Barry said
that among his many
musical endeavours, he
liked song writing best.
For those that listen to
96FM, they have probably heard the upbeat
song Pattaya Wonder-
Page 48
On October 30, Michael Barricelli, Managing Director for Big Mango
Properties, gave his views on
the Pattaya Property Market.
He gave a very comprehensive
presentation covering just
about all aspects related to the
Pattaya property market and
had advice on the common
pitfalls when searching for and
acquiring property. He also
pointed out that the purchase
price is not just the acquisition
cost, but there are other costs
involved and you should budget accordingly.
‘Frugal Freddy’ special interest group coordinator, ‘Hawaii Bob’ Sutterfield advises the activity for the week & restaurants to be visited, followed by
the lucky draw for members. Member Len Levine followed by conducting the
Open Forum, your source for information on all aspects of living in Thailand.
Assistant editor’s note:
The Pattaya Trader will be running a series of reviews from the Frugal Freddy
visits to Pattaya restaurants participating in the project. Please always
remember that small businesses in Pattaya and the local area need your support. Times are somewhat hard financially and most small businesses realize
that you have to be careful with your money, which is why they will be doing
their best to provide a good service at the best possible prices.

Featured Speakers in the last month:
20 November – Paul Vanderhook of Siam Firm Inter Laws
speaking on: Video Wills, How they can help you!
All Countries require wills to be written, so a video will alone is
not a legal method to transfer your assets. Video wills are used
to supplement your written will, providing that all transfers are
contained in the written will. Video wills provide a legal method
to view your intentions. Paul shared with us all of the details of
how to do this and ensure our wills are legal.
About the speaker:
Paul comes from the UK and has been in Pattaya for a bit less than
a year full time. He is a welcome face every Sunday at the Expats

negative actions... from anger, greed, pride, ego, fear to self. Arriving at
conclusions that “All of our enemies are in our minds”. Masters then guided
him towards the Five Aggregates... The never-ending prison of information
from eye, ear, nose, tongue, touch, thought, memory & feeling. How
one is thrown into the next moment, rebirthing through attachments of
information. So called “The Meaning of Life”, or in more modern term... “The
Matrix has you.” Traveling to Thailand in 2007, he found teachers who guided
him further into Right Mindfulness and Concentration, as well as Astrology
& Balance of Universe.

Love in the Time of Footrot
Taken from Les Abbey’s Soi Shanties
Disclaimer. Any similarity to any person/s or events
you might have heard of are entirely coincidental. The
characters depicted in this story are figments of the author’s imagination.
With acknowledgement to Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s Love in the Time
of Cholera and Murray Ball’s Footrot Flats for the title. Note to readers:
In 1983 Bangkok, without many of today’s flood defenses, was severely
inundated for a number of weeks.
B
arry the owner of the bar was amazed. Four weeks
into the flood and he still had customers every
night. A drinking man he discovered, not only
needed his beer, but also required the company
of his friends. Some had moved on down to Pattaya but many had remained.
The bar was far dryer now than when the flood started. The
short breeze block wall across the door stopped the water in the
soi coming in, but was an easy step over for any sober customers,
if not perhaps for those that had partaken of a drink or two. The
staff kept the floor well mopped and once his customers got tired
of talking about the flood they just ignored it.
Barry watched Les enter the bar. His trousers were rolled up
above his knees and he had flip-flops on his feet. Les sat down
and from a green army tool bag pulled out a towel, socks and
shoes. Drying his legs and feet Les put on the shoes and socks
and put the towel and flip-flops back into the bag. Only then did
Les speak.
“A very cold Kloster thank you Barry. God, I’m glad to get those
Australian safety boots off my feet. I think I picked up every piece
of rubbish from Soi 49 to here between my toes.”
“Not sure why you go through the bother of changing Les.”
said Barry. “You are going to have put them back on before you
leave.”
Taking his first sip of beer from the bottle Les answered.
“Wouldn’t feel like I was on holiday if I left them on Barry.”
“How did you get in today?” Barry asked.
Page 52
“Waded up the sub-sois on 49 to Soi 39 and then got a tuktuk. They don’t want to go deeper in than that, so shanks’s pony*
is the only way.”
“Les explain to me why so many of you guys are still coming
in when you have to go through this much trouble just to get here
and the same to go back?” another question from Barry.
going to find herself in New Zealand on the family farm.”
“Is that where he was from before working on the crew?”
“Yeah, some isolated farm on the South Island about a
half-hour’s drive from their closest neighbours he told me. You
know he’s pretty down to earth about sex and the girls, and he’s
a dammed good mechanic like a lot of Kiwi boys; both I suspect because of working on a farm since birth. I think Boo has
impressed him by riding through the water every day to get to
work. As I said don’t be surprised if she ends up in New Zealand.”
answered Les.
“Anyway Barry how are you finding it with the flood?” continued Les.
“Takings are down a bit obviously and keeping the place dry
can be hard work, but overall better than I expected Les. The only
thing that’s getting to me my feet are sore after being in this crappy
water.” answered Barry.
“Better get some anti-fungal powder for them Barry. It does
the trick as a rule. In fact that’s just made think what’s going on
with Wally. It’s ‘Love in the Time of Foot Rot’ isn’t it?”
* shanks’s pony - walking, an English language idiom
“Well going back is the easy bit Barry. Having a few drinks
makes having wet feet seem very trivial. You can be looking at the
stars or talking with a girl you have persuaded to make the trip
with you. But probably the truth is we figure it’s not that unusual
to walk through water or muck to do something. Remember we
are working in all sorts of strange places. Look at my last job in
the Gulf of Kutch in India. Every day getting covered in mud and
god knows what else. Then avoiding tides which are some of the
highest in the world and sleeping in tents for six weeks at a time.
After that a Bangkok flood doesn’t seem like a reason to cancel a
visit to the bar does it?” answered Les.
Before Barry could answer a motorbike pulled up next to the
door. On the back was man in black shorts, singlet and rubber
boots. Driving was Boo, a dancer from one of the go-go joints
further down the soi.
The man stepped over the short wall into the bar. “How are
you doing Les? You’re looking as dapper as ever.” Wally said in a
strong Kiwi accent.
“Fine Wal. I see you still have the two-wheeled taxi service.
Must be more than a week now that Boo’s been bringing you
in.”
“Dry feet all the way Les. Got to be the way to travel.” said
Wally. “Barry give me a beer, get Les another and one for yourself.
I’ve got to go down to see Boo and pay her bar fine fairly soon.”
Both Les and Barry said cheers and within minutes Wally had
finished his beer and stepped out of the bar.
“Never seen Wal with the same girl two days on the trot before Les.” said Barry.
“Not what we are used to with Wally is it? Apparently last week
as he was coming out of his hotel Boo came past on her bike from
her place further up Soi 22, recognized him and offered him a lift.
I’m not sure how much of conversation you can have on a motorbike, but it must have been enough. Not too long I think that girl’s

PATTAYA TRADER’S POET’S CORNER
Dear Reader.
Cap’n Mark, our prolific poetry writer has been keeping in touch and just sent me his latest verse for
the Christmas issue. Cap’n. Mark reports that Pork Pies are quite cheap in the UK (don’t all go rushing
back to get some) and that he’s really enjoying being back home again. He doesn’t mention the Polish
problem, so maybe there isn’t one !!

HE-CARIBBEAN-KIND’SSO-HUMANE-KINDNESS
Mary Seacole,
now there’s a tale
of a Creole
who - like Nightingale nursed the wounded
brought from battle
where men were slaughtered
just like sheep and cattle.
Mary Seacole,
yes there’s a tale
of a Creole
who aided the pale
shell-shocked sick,
prayed for the dying,
with a solemn duty
that was so death-defying.

YES-THE-REAL-RHYMERTOM-IT-IS
Thomas Spence of Tyne-and-Wear
spoke of Fairyland being right here.
If only we’d start with better pay
for the working folk he was to say.
Daughters-of-Faery, sons-of-Ocean,
to you he sang songs of devotion.
What seems reality’s only a pretence.
Give-up on dreams at your own expence.
A-DARK-DEMON-DRUG-DON’TYOU-GO-TAKE (On A. Crowley’s
‘Diary of A Drug-Fiend’)
Should you look up into the sun
then find that your time has come
as creature-of-the-living-strange.
Yes as a drug-fiend you’ll change as even the vampires surely must into particles of pure-dust.
Blinded by the heavenly light
will you be, creature-of-the-night.

Before a firing-squad

teutonic fury.
For the soldier-boys

such prettiness there
is known to mesmerise.
One last cigarette
for the girl condemned.
Vanish in smoke
beauty without end.
MEAN-TEEN-TIMESIN-BLUE-BRITAIN
There is a campaign of hate
just outside the school gate
where evil drug-pushers lie in wait.
Poor-kids dress up, rich-kids down,
a white-girl speaks as if brown.
She tells a guy she isn’t free.
The price is a ride in his JIV.
Yes there’s a campaign of hate,
and it’s right across the State.
A SORCERY SAUCE
Of all the sauce, the sauce !
Oh of all the Chaucer !
He was a poet-king, of course.
You could have been his sorcerer,

“Let them eat bread.”
She got no applause.
Off came the girl’s head.
She’s now in Tussaud’s
(who’d been Lady-in-Waiting
and later made death-masks).
Am I wrong in stating
Marie was always wax ?
A-DEMONIC-RAIS
In the army of Joan-of-Arc
he led his soldiers on the march.
But they served no holy lord
for he loved to wield his sword.
Over tortured bodies he smiled,
the cruel, the wicked, lustful De Rais.
Children begging at his home
were just stripped to the bone.

before, and the bird was supposed to be a good talker; although
it hadn’t said anything yet. Maybe the tourist was lying, but it was
a good-looking bird and would make a fine addition to any room.
Songban took the bird and thanked his uncle and because of the
occasion, Songban overlooked his vow to never have another pet
bird.

was ten years
old he had a
linnet, which
he kept in a
wire cage. The linnet was special as
it had unusual light and dark markings. The rest of the birds he used to
carry around the beach in their small
wooden cages, getting money from
tourists to release them. In Thailand
it is believed that all kind acts will be
rewarded as karma. Hopefully the
tourists would give him twenty—
baht to let one of the birds free and
in return have some good luck.
Songban spun on his heels and rushed back to the cage.
“What did you say?”
“Are you deaf?” the bird yelled. “I said, don’t forget my water.”
Songban was delighted at the sudden verbal expulsion from
the bird and quickly dealt with the water.
“Is there anything else you want?” Songban asked.
“Yeah, get this cage nearer the window so I can have a
decent view.”
While Songban was transporting the cage, the bird was abusing him. “Hey, watch what you’re doing you, moron, I nearly fell off
my bloody perch.”
Songban apologized but the bird didn’t calm down and
shouted insults and bad language for the rest of the evening.
Songban called his special
linnet, Nokjai, and when the other
linnets had crumbs, Nokjai had rice
and fish soup. Food left over from the
meals was usually given to the beggars in the street but Songban always
fed Nokjai first.

He looked after the bird for the next week; fed him well and
kept the cage clean. He spoke to the bird every day, hoping for a
response. In case the bird had learned any words from the tourist,
Songban spoke to it in English, but the bird remained silent.
The following Saturday, Songban opened the cage door and
changed the seed. He walked away and had got half—way across
the room when the bird shouted out.
The next day, Songban told his Uncle Took about the angry
bird and the old man said that it had probably picked up the bad
attitude from the previous owner. His uncle indicated that the bird
would eventually change, and if Songban was patient, his own
peaceful nature would affect the bird. Uncle Took suggested that
he should spend more time with the bird and recite from eastern
philosophical writings, to give the bird a good attitude and a calm
mind.
Songban agreed and that evening he sat by the cage reading
to the bird ancient scriptures from India and Thailand, and words of
wisdom from books by Confucius and Laotse. The bird listened in
silence for three days while Songban patiently read. On the fourth
day, the bird was asleep on its perch when Songban opened the
cage door to put in the food. It woke up with a start and bristled up
its feathers.
“What the hell are you doing?” the bird shouted. “How would
you like me to come into your room and wake you in the morning?”
Songban apologised but the bird responded with a stream
of bad language. Songban was shocked and disappointed. All his
work on the previous days had been for nothing; the bird was still
bad—tempered.
The next day he returned the bird to his uncle. He told him
he’d tried to alter the bird’s ways, but could not change its bad
manners, and the attitude of the bird was upsetting him. He had
lain awake at night thinking of ways to solve the problem and
eventually decided to give the bird to his uncle to see if he could
have better luck.
Uncle Took told Songban that he would try to teach the bird
humility by kindness, and he put the cage on his Chinese sideboard. He spoke softly to the bird.
“There,” Uncle Took said, “This is the best room in the house.
You can look at all my beautiful furniture.”
“You call this furniture?” the bird said. “What a load of junk.”
Songban knew that Uncle Took was proud of his house and
especially his collection of traditional Asian furniture. Uncle Took
frowned at the bird.
“Be nice,” Uncle Took said.
“Up yours,” the bird said.
“Leave him with me, Songban.” Uncle Took placed a cover
over the cage.
“Hey, what happened to the lights? Take this cover off, you
dozy old retard, or it will be the worst for you.”
“I’ll alter his ways,” Uncle Took said. “You can see him at the
weekend.”
Songban thanked his uncle and left. He returned at noon
the following Sunday.
“How’s the bird?” he asked.
“He’s just fine now,” Uncle Took said. “Sit down and I’ll show
you how I fixed his ways.”
They had some lunch and Uncle Took told Songban that the
bird was even worse when he was with him. He had continuously
blasphemed and told him that he lived in a pigsty full of garbage.
Friends had called round and they too had been insulted by the
bird, and were not going to visit again until the bird had learned
some manners.
Uncle Took led Songban into the parlour where the cage
was still on the Chinese sideboard. He rapped on the top of the
cage. There was silence from under the cover.
“Hello, you ugly bird,” Uncle Took said. There was still no
sound from the cage. He slowly lifted the cover. The cage was
empty.
“I said I would fix him,” Uncle Took said.
“Where is the bird?” Songban asked.
Uncle Took smiled. “Did you enjoy your lunch?”

Did a Tuk Tuk Driver help you Invest ?
Some financial advice from David Thrifty
I
n current market conditions it is really important for offshore investors to be in a position to act quickly- to have the
ability to liquidate all held stocks into cash and when the
time is right buy back in to the market without costing the
earth.
For myriad reasons many investors hold their trinkets, cash,
share certificates, stocks and securities in a safe deposit box and in
a variety of other areas both on and offshore. This can lead to real
problems for the wealthy investor
There are many reasons why people have safe deposit boxes
but whatever they are they cannot compare with the advantages
of holding all your assets in an offshore Executive Investment Bond.
(EIB) sometimes called a Portfolio Bonds (PB)
An EIB is like a big warehouse which can hold all your investments, wherever you purchased them. It can hold or purchase on
your behalf fixed interest securities, stocks and shares on a regulated stock exchange, bonds gilts and currency deposits, unit trusts,
mutual funds and cash deposits.
Your name is not painted all over this warehouse. You see all
of your assets are transferred and legally owned by the EIB Provider
and held on their behalf by a custodian trustee. Many wealthy investors especially American expats use the EIB as a tax shelter.
But it has much more to offer than just that.
The ability to structure an investment portfolio requires careful
planning, prudent stock selection and knowledge of the world’s
investment markets. Your EIB provider can appoint a professional
fund advisor to do all this for you. Normal stock broker’s fees for this
service are 1.5% of your portfolio. The EIB can offer a discount of
1.2% so actual cost is 0.3%.. There are also stockbrokers based in the
UK who will advise you for a flat annual fee. You can of course make
your own investment decisions without cost.
Initial discounts from fund management groups are a big
Page 58
feature of an EIB. For example if you requested the warehouse
manager to purchase say an offshore HSBC fund he would pay
0.25%. If you were to purchase it directly it would cost you 5%,
a saving of 4.75%
Similarly he could purchase a Blackrock fund at 0.0%
charge where you would pay 5%to 7%. This would gives you
the flexibility to change your investment portfolio at any time:
especially convenient if the market crashes, when you can
liquidate without exorbitant cost
Of the many EIB providers I prefer Royal Skandia. Here are a
few reasons. They are not owned by a bank:
They were the pioneers in portfolio bonds 26 years ago:.
They have more EIB’s than any other provider and they have the
largest offshore EIB dept with over 100 staff.
Just a cautionary note. - PB’s cannot hold everything. Exclusions may include works of art, coins, precious metals, property
and derivatives. So keep your Safety deposit box: you might need
to deposit the precious jewelry that nice tuk tuk driver helped you
purchase in Bangkok.
If you have any questions about this article, or investment
related queries, please feel free to E-mail me:
[email protected]
So how can your EIB provider offer these discounts?
The simple answer is bulk purchase. A company like Royal
Skandia qualifies for these discounts as they are the largest
single purchaser of many offshore investment funds. The entire
discount is passed onto you, the bond holder. They make their
money with an annual management fee.
There are many EIB providers like Zurich, Friends Provident, Royal Skandia (who invented the EIB) and, Generali, to
name but a few.
Once you own a bond you can then forget about distribution of dividends spending hours calculating your net worth
and never being sure and wondering about currency calculations. Each quarter you will receive an in depth valuation
statement. It will provide full information on asset movement,
income accrual, cash withdrawal and charges. It will also state
the total valuation in the currency of your choice.
For the mature investor who thinks about estate planning, there are major advantages. Normally with each investment you have, your beneficiaries, on your death, will need
to get probate in each jurisdiction where the asset is held.
This will involve getting lawyers in each jurisdiction, different
administrative procedures, paperwork and time and money.
Within the EIB all of this can be avoided by probate avoidance,
free trust facility are features of this investment vehicle. It really
helps to make estate planning easy.
So the EIB in summary offers administrative simplicity,

Coldplay - Mylo Xyloto
Verdict: 7/10
C
oldplay is often accused of being a one-trick pony.
Same sound, same lyrics, same angst-ridden cries.
However, for Mylo Xyloto, we thankfully are given a
new, fresh sound of Coldplay, while their old fans will
see plenty of glimpses of their first four albums.
Coldplay are less
pretentious and more
down-to-earth here. This
just seems like a group
of musicians doing what
they love. And we prefer
happy Coldplay to the
morose, depressed version.
This is vastly different from Parachutes, their
debut CD, and A Rush of
Blood to the Head. Here
we are treated to the likes
of Paradise, a genuinely
classy pop song with a
great strings intro (and
weird zoo video), and Us
Against The World, an
awesome ballad up there with ‘Yellow’.
Old-school Coldplay fans have found plenty to dislike here,
as the band is certainly on a new path here. First single Every
Teardrop is a Waterfall is almost a dance-track, for example, and
has an optimism we haven’t heard from Coldplay in a while.
Acoustic track U.F.O is much more reminiscent of the band’s early
sounds, although it doesn’t last very long.
Perhaps a sign that Coldplay is changing is the fact that
Rihanna appears on Princess of China. With a strong r’n’b feel,
her vocals work surprisingly well here. The
instrumental A Hopeful Transmission is a
bit over-produced, but
it does lead well into
Don’t Let It Break Your
Heart, which comes
with a belting melody
but oddly-distorted
Chris Martin lyrics
(note to producers:
once is interesting,
twice is irritating).
The album ends
with Up With The Birds,
an emotive, simple
and great way to close.
Mylo Xyloto
(we’ve no idea what it
means, either) is the start of a new direction for Coldplay, and it’s
towards a place they need to go in order to maintain their fans’
interest and to avoid being stereotyped.
Susan Boyle - Someone to Watch Over Me
Verdict: 8/10

‘Someone To Watch Over Me,’ has Scottish warbler

hardly a risky thing to do. As well

Britain’s Got Talent winner Boyle is too often judged by her
behavior and personality, which frankly is a little odd. But then
she hasn’t had years of grooming by PR stylists. She says what she
thinks, and that’s rather refreshing.
Boyle’s voice is amazing, and here it’s given the chance to
deliver a greater range of style of songs than she has ever done
before. If you liked her already, you’ll love this; if you didn’t like
her before, you may be in for a surprise.
“I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables. Her first album was released
in November 2009 and debuted as the number one best-selling CD on
charts around the globe.
Global interest in Boyle was triggered by the contrast between her
powerful mezzo-soprano voice and her plain appearance on stage. The
juxtaposition of the audience’s first impression of her, with the standing
ovation she received during and after her performance, led to an international media and internet response. Within nine days of the audition,
videos of Boyle from the show, various interviews and her 1999 rendition of “Cry Me a River”—had been watched over 100 million times. Her
audition video has been viewed on the internet several hundred million
times. Despite the sustained media interest she later finished in second
place in the final of the show behind dance troupe Diversity.

Boyle’s debut album, I Dreamed a Dream (2009) remains as the
UK best-selling debut album of all time, beating previous record holder,
Spirit by Leona Lewis. I Dreamed a Dream is ranked fourth in its first week
sales according to the Official Chart Company in the United Kingdom. In
her first year of fame, Boyle made a fortune of £5 million with the release
of I Dreamed a Dream and its lead off singles, “I Dreamed a Dream” and
“Wild Horses”. The success was continued with her second album, The
Gift (2010), and was followed by Boyle’s third album, Someone to Watch
Over Me, released on 31 October 2011.
Michael Buble - Christmas
Verdict: 7/10
at Capitol Recording Studios in Hollywood and The Warehouse
Studios in Vancouver.
J
ust for Christmas, what every household needs: Michael
Buble crooning festive classics. OK, so he may not be
what everyone needs, but his brand of smooth, close-tocheesy music has made him a global star.
Here, the Canadian
comes up with the inevitable Christmas album,
complete with most of
the classics (though we’re
sorry to note The Pogues’
Fairytale in New York is

Buble singing ‘you scumbag, you maggot, you

This CD, on the other hand, is produced by
the trio of David Foster,
Bob Rock and Humberto
Gatica, and was recorded
The tracks go from classics such as ‘Unchained Melody’ to
more recent songs, such as the brilliant ‘Mad World’. Rather than
being a glorified karaoke star, Boyle also performs some new material, such as ‘This Will Be The Year’ by Emeli Sande and ‘Naughty
Page 60
Guest singers include Shania Twain on “White Christmas”
and The Puppini Sisters on “Jingle Bells.” Buble adds his velvet
voice and soft-jazz feel to the likes of “Silent Night,” “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like
Christmas” and “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.” On top of that,
one original number, “Cold December Night”, is also rather good.
Written by Buble and his piano man Alan Chang, it’s a romantic
ballad that doesn’t seem out of place alongside such classics.
As you’d expect with a Buble album, the production here
is super-slick, with full-on orchestra chiming in with the normal
big band sounds. The new version of Mariah Carey’s All I Want
For Christmas Is You is perhaps our favourite, with a much slower
version.
Darlene Love’s Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) is much
closer to the original, but with a new bass and drum line.
Buble’s version of Ave Maria displays the quality of his voice
when all the trumpets and strings have been stripped away. This
is a guy who, after all, sometimes ends his concerts by singing
without a microphone, such is his ability to project.

Hello all, ‘Pattaya Patty’ is my
dream girl. Not real as such, a character
I first based on a sassy lass I met when
I was teaching English in the Bangkok
suburbs.
Now after getting the setting
and knowing about the author’s,
time to move on to my words and
views of the book!
This is my first Tony Crossley book,
and believe it is a bit different than others he has written as it is a mix of pearls
of wisdom, quotes, anecdotes and
prose artfully put together to keep it
interesting, laughing at times and also
challenging thoughts and assumptions.
You will definitely have to rethink some things after
Page 62

you finish reading the book. It will challenge some serious assumptions
made by many, counter a lot of what has been written elsewhere while
opening your mind to a different perspective. Tony writes about some
of the harder issues, and darker side of things, like nightlife, sex, the
bar scene and how it all plays together or not plays so well.
This was hard to put it down and a great read for me especially
as I have lived in Thailand full time for the past 6 years, and have been
coming 6 or 7 times a year on business for the 8 years prior to moving
here. I thought I had read most everything you could read about how
Thai’s, especially ladies think, some of the rationale behind the bar
scene and bar girls, you know the old cliché: You can take the girl out
of the bar but you can’t take the bar out of the girl. Well this book
goes a long way to opening up your eyes and questioning your
beliefs and understanding of Thailand, Thai ladies,
relationships and life in general. You will find yourself
challenging what you thought you knew after seeing
the spin from Patty and Tony Crossley, plus the host
of writers and authors he has quoted in the book
sprinkled heavily throughout.
How could you not like a book with chapters
such as::
The Good News - Attraction
The Bad News - ‘Proper Thai Women’
‘Face’
‘Bad Girls’
Patty’s Top Tips - Commercial Companions
Culture (definition)
- 10 Farang Cliché’s
Men & Women Fidelity - Expat Syndrome
Lust and Promiscuity
And finally, Tit Bits!
This book is sort of focused on Pattaya Thai Girl
behavior and then relationships in general but I feel it
applies universally in any of the areas of Thailand I have
been to that have a concentration of Farang, plus of
course bars and girls, places like Bangkok, Chiang Mai,
Phuket, Hat Yai spring to mind for sure.

Read some of the quotes below from this book (a very few of the total),
tell me don’t they make you really think twice? (Sometimes I had to read
them twice to make sure I understood them, quite profound and not always
what I have read or heard before).
“Moralists are people who can’t enjoy life’s simple pleasures and compensate by interfering in those of others”- Bertrand Russell
To me this one was a great one, live and let live is what I get from it.
Here is another classic from Bertrand Russell: “Marriage is for women
the commonest mode of livelihood.”
And this not just for Thailand! Of course here it is still traditional, men
supposed to earn the living and support the wife and family, at least that
seems to be the norm for Thai/Farang marriages and even to ladies from
the cities not just the farms.
Remember this one for sure when you are here in Thailand: “Where
dreams can come true, nightmares can too.”
If you have been here for any length of time you sure will have heard
some of the nightmare stories for sure. But also you don’t hear as much
about the success stories.
Every bar girls dream guy: I don’t like men who act stupid; I like those
who really are.
Don’t leave your brains at immigration guys! I still find it amazing that
guys do things here in Thailand and Pattaya that they would never even
think of doing back home!
“Every girl wants a mink in her wardrobe, a jaguar in her garage, a tiger
in her bed and a jackass to pay for it all.” - Paris Hilton
Followed by the Thai version:
“Every girl wants a nice nest for her mama, a nest egg for herself, a Thai
tiger in her bed and a Farang buffalo to pay for it all.”
I think these were both pretty self-explanatory!
“Scoring in Thailand is easy; own goals the easiest.”
Don’t do stupid stuff guys!
On Face: “A man will do many things to be loved. He will do all things
to be envied.”
Tony states that it is helpful to know that a foreign culture’s traits are
similar to our own. What Thai’s call ‘Face’ is the same driving force for all
people, ALL cultures have ‘Face’ at their core. It is just done a little bit differently, but thinking about it he is right.
Tony even works Lord Buddha into his book and this is surely one for
all to heed and it is Top Tip Number 1:
“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who said it- even
if I said it- unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common
sense.” – Buddha
Followed by Tip Number 9:
“A woman can’t take a man to the cleaners unless he shows her the way.”
“Anyone with money to burn will easily find someone to tend the fire.”
On Women:
“Women are like hurricanes; at first warm, wet and wild, and
in the end take everything.”
Haven’t some of us experienced this and not in Thailand!
Now it happens here too, but just as common in the West. This
shows that the book was not just about Thailand, Pattaya and
Thai girls for sure!
On Men:
“Ego makes men need the act of sex more often than
need the sex itself.”
Now give that one a bit of thought, ego drives having sex
more than the basic need for sex itself!
On ‘Good Girls’:
“Lots of men and women take what they can ‘til better comes
along.”
That one is a bit of an ouch, for both sexes. Who wants to be
considered a stop gap until they find a better one.
I’m truly a good girl. Have I worked in a bar? I would never
dream of it. I won’t mention my past Thai husband and two Farang husbands.
After reading this book I learned a lot, confirmed some of
what I thought I already knew, and had a few ideas shattered.
One quite interesting one is the cliché about you can take the
girl out of the bar but not the bar out of the girl. Tony very clearly
states that is BS, it is about people, there are plenty of Hi-so and
high educated people in the world (take a look at the Banksters
on Wall Street) who have the lowest possible morals and ethics
out there. So why would you blanket judge a girl who works in
the bar, it is the individual that counts, not the stereotype. Sure
there are plenty of horror stories of relationships with bar girls,
just as there are just as many horror stories of relationships with
non-bargirls.
Just don’t judge a book by its cover, no matter what society
you come from or you live in, be it the West or wonderful Pattaya.
Until next month…when I will start reviewing a few of Christopher
G. Moore’s novels, so stay tuned!

more keen on pointing fingers.
At times like this, the last thing Thailand needs is its famous
‘mai pen rai/chai yen’ attitude. What it does need are hard facts, not
watered down half-truths.
Things became farcical after Bangkok city’s request for pumps
to drain water in Thon Buri was met with silence from the Royal
Irrigation Department (RID). Bangkok Governor Sukhumbhand
They had a child together and lived in Greater
Manchester, where she drew Star Wars sketches and he
called her “Boom”.
Red shirts thought Abhisit’s government had kept water levels dangerously high on purpose, knowing Yingluck would have to deal with the overspill. Thaksin-haters, meanwhile, ridiculed Yingluck for her lack of leadership
and the constant flip-flopping of advice.
He killed her in April during a violent row. La
Touche told police “My wife is from Thailand and she
keeps threatening to leave. We argued and she said she
was going to make my life hell. She’s put me through it
before. I couldn’t let that happen again.
“I then just remember getting up from on top of
her. I think I’ve choked her.”
On top of that, migrant workers were denied water because they were
migrant workers and calls for businesses to help out were rejected – small
bottles of water were going for 60 baht in Bangkok, ten-times their normal
price.
All of which is rather sad. Yingluck may be the figurehead and fallguy
here, but the troubled waters run much deeper. Mis-managed funds, a lack of
forward planning and internal bickering are the real reasons for this mess.
La Touche denied murder but admitted manslaughter. He claimed his wife had once hit him with a
pool cue and threatened to kill him when he was asleep
and then “cut him up and eat him”.

Immigrant’s crazy payout
You may think there are things in
Thailand that you don’t understand. Overtaking when you’re about to turn off anyway,
inspecting every pore in a motorbike wingmirror or spending 30 minutes discussing
lunch arrangements, for example.
Thais in Bangkok defy crocodile warnings
Paribatra was furious after hearing claims the RID had not received
his letter. The City bosses were adamant they had sent the letter via
the government’s Flood Relief Operations Centre (FROC).
One minute we had a minister rushing from a meeting telling
everyone to evacuate, the next we have Prime Minister Yingluck
telling everyone not to panic and stay put. Then we had the government telling us Bangkok has avoided the worst of the flooding, and
hours later we saw that’s clearly not true as the water started to rush
in.
So I think we’re entitled to ask: who exactly is in charge here?
It’s almost as if the PR machine that wheeled Yingluck into power is
too nervous to tell people the truth. But surely the people are going
to be a whole lot more angry when they realise crucial warnings
were not delivered.

It’s easy to simply blame Yingluck for all this mess. She is a
rookie politician after all, who seems unable to control or manage
those around her effectively. That’s true, but the country’s problems stem from far wider issues. Flood water entered Bangkok and
ravaged Ayutthaya because of policies and corruption that were
in place long before anyone had even heard of Yingluck. Policies
meant that certain areas controlled by certain people had nice big
defences, while others were not strengthened. Corruption meant
that of the millions of baht spent on flood defences, much of it was
mis-managed, according to a recent report (and I think we all know
what ‘mis-managed’ is a euphemism for what really happened to
the money).
It seems now clear that millions, if not billions, of baht was
wasted. And who thinks that’s the only department to be wasteful?
Perhaps most worrying was the prejudice that seemed to
stem from the water. While there were many, many examples of
people giving donations and supplies to help those in need, it
seemed that once the flood reached Bangkok, people were far
However, sometimes things back home
are just as hard to fathom. Take the strange
case of Joseph Mjemer, for example.
Joseph is an illegal immigrant who committed more than 20 offences after arriving in
the UK. He was also jailed to stop him running away before being deported. However, a judge has
just awarded him 17,000 pounds (about 800,000 baht)
because some rules were broken during his detention.
Rickie La Touche and his Thai wife Pornpilai Srisroy
his treasured Star Wars collection. Rickie La Touche, 30, claimed Pornpilai Srisroy, 28, damaged his sci-fi memorabilia that he had collected since childhood.
During a row, he suffocated his wife then ran off to his mother.
Mjemer looked at the judge and, not surprisingly,
said “Thank you very much” after being given the cash
for his four-month “loss of liberty”.
La Touche told police his wife had smashed up his Star Wars collection
as part of a campaign to make his life “hell”. He claimed he was a henpecked
husband who “flipped” after she threatened to leave him to go back to her native Thailand.
La Touche was found guilty of murder after a trial at Preston Crown Court
and jailed for life, with a minimum of 12 years.
He met his wife in a bar while on holiday in Bangkok in 2001. They married during his fourth trip to Thailand in 2003 but she had to wait two years to
get a UK visa.
During his three years in the UK he managed to get
convicted for property damage, dangerous driving and
attempting to obtain property by deception. His award
makes the UK courts a joke, unable to apply common
sense rulings to cases that seem clear-cut.

drink order, I dived into my pocket and placed a bag of liquorice
allsorts on the table, opening it wide for everyone to see.
Getting Ready for Christmas
It was then time to implement tip four: “Be choosy. Never
talk to someone before you ‘graze’ the party. This means looking
around the room to see who’s looking back. Find the people who
are interested in you.”
Ok, I did that – and they were all looking at me.
“Then narrow your focus to the three people whom you’d
like to get to know.”
I
have probably mentioned
before that I am a sucker for
those ‘Self improvement’ and
‘How to’ columns in books,
magazines and on the Internet. Being a chronic over-achiever, I
just can’t get enough of them as I try
to find out what I am doing wrong in
my quest to reach mega stardom. After all, the people who write these self
help columns are experts and know a
thing or two about being the perfect
person.
The latest gem I stumbled across
was headed “How to Find More Dates
at Parties” by Julie Taylor, a writer in
Los Angeles. This was so fortuitous
because, even in my younger days, I
always had trouble finding a date at
parties or, as we used to call it, “pulling a bird”. My problems were shyness and lack of confidence so,
to compensate, I needed a few bottles of ‘Dutch Courage’ before
making my move. Invariably, by the time I had gained enough
courage to speak to a woman I was so rat-faced I came across as
a blithering idiot instead of the cool sophisticate I had planned
to be. But it is never too late to change and now I have Ms. Taylor
giving me the advice I needed forty years ago. Christmas is coming up and this holiday season will provide innumerable parties
for me to work my newfound magic.
Firstly, as with any new theory, it needed to be field-tested
to iron out any wrinkles. With no party invitations festooning my
letterbox, I decided to test it out at the closest thing available here
in Pattaya to a party; a Go Go Bar. After stopping for one nervesettling drink at a 7-Eleven, I targeted a popular Go Go Bar that I
had never been to before and made my approach.
Page 66
Results were immediate. The nearest serving wench approached and, under the envious eyes of the other felines in the
room, popped one into her mouth. She quickly gagged and
spat it out onto her tray. Everyone noticed and turned collective
scornful looks to me like I had tried to poison the poor girl. Mental note: Thais don’t like liquorice.
The first tip was to “Enter the
room with fanfare. You should go
in slow motion. When you pause at
the door, it frames you and attracts
attention. Next, strike a pose. Put
your shoulders back. Keep your
head up and centred. Make eye
contact with people in the room and
smile.”
So I did. The greeter opened
the door for me and I sauntered
through. As I stood there in my tan
loafers, plaid trousers, and red and
green striped long-sleeve shirt, I
could see I had made an impression.
The ladies, both on stage and off,
looked at me and smiled. I gave a
seductive wink as a waitress asked,
“What you like some drink?” She and
a friend giggled as they escorted
me to a seat. That’s when I knew the
first tip was working like a charm.
That was easy as well.
“When you introduce yourself and shake hands, note how
firm their handshakes are. Do they just offer the tips of the hands
and give a weak grip?”
It is hard to answer that because the tip didn’t go into what
happens when a semi-naked girl straddles your lap, places your
hand on her chest and nibbles your ear. Is that success? Is she
interested? Do I need any more tips?
wallflower(s). There’s always one at every party; a loner hanging
out in the corner, looking rather ill at ease. Just because someone
is shy doesn’t mean that person is not engaging, and a wallflower
is bound to be grateful you’ve made the first move.”
Yes! Spotted one sitting alone in a dark corner. I approached her seductively, sat beside her and introduced myself.
As it turns out she was not much of a talker, so I initiated the
conversation, remembering tip six was to “stretch the truth (just a
little). A fun way to break the ice is to concoct wild and crazy stories - the more outrageous, the better. That can be an unexpected
way to get conversation flowing if you’re a person who’s comfortable with that kind of banter.”
I began by relating the highlights of my life from early childhood to the present. She smiled, nodded and seemed impressed
but, frankly, I found her boring. Time to implement tip seven:
“Have a getaway line ready. Say you’re talking to someone who
decides to tell you about a recent gall bladder surgery. Instead of
standing there nodding with a fake smile plastered on your face,
have a well-rehearsed getaway line you can whip out for just such
an occasion. Say you need to go get something to drink or go to
the bathroom.”
I had a great getaway line ready and was about to let it fly
when she suddenly turned to me saying she had to go to the
toilet. Saved by the bell. What a relief.
In the cause of research I soon dismissed the three favourite ladies fondling me and moved on to tip five: “Talk to the
Merry Christmas to all.
I had to abandon the second tip which was to “Stake out the
Entrance”. Because “Everyone at that party has to come through
the door at some point,” the writer recommended, “hanging by
the door or even occasionally opening it for people and saying,
‘Hi! The host appointed me part of the welcoming committee.’”
Thinking about that, I found two obstacles. Firstly, the appointed
Thai doorman was bigger than me and secondly, I realized the
only people coming through that door would be male and if I
did as instructed, at the very least they would think I was a raving
queen. Not the impression I wanted to make.
Unfortunately, tip three failed miserably: “Pass the chips.
When at a party, hang out where the snacks are. Food is a great
icebreaker for most people.” As you may appreciate, not many
Go Go Bars provide food for customers, unless they are celebrating something. However, I came prepared. After receiving my

Kodak Focus is on Surviving
Photo firm Eastman Kodak needs to raise funds to survive, it
has revealed.
The 131-year old photography companyhttp://investor.kodak.com/phoenix.
zhtml?c=115911&p=irol-secfilings may raise funds through
patent sales or by taking on
more debt.
Experts said Kodak has
taken too long to move from
its traditional film business
into digital cameras.
All is not negative though, if you pardon the pun. Kodak’s
inkjet printer and inks unit are doing well and sales are 44 per
cent up on this time last year.
The firm is looking at selling or licensing 1,100 of its digital
imaging patents - about 10% of its library. The company stressed
it would not need to file for bankruptcy, but some experts think
that could still be the case if it struggles to sell its innovation
rights.
Kodak’s chief executive, Antonio Perez, said investors should
not read too much into the company’s cash balance warning,
which it had to file to comply with US law.
Kodak’s finances may have been stronger had it started
making digital cameras earlier, despite developing the world’s
first consumer digital camera. It could have gone on sale in 1992,
but wasn’t.
IMF Chief doubts Italy reform
The head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine
Lagarde, has said Italy’s budgetary reforms “lack credibility”.
Italy has agreed to a limited package of budget reforms. But
the Italian cabinet did not agree to issue a decree implementing
the changes.
Ms Lagarde said the IMF would carefully monitor the implementation of reform.
“We will go quarterly. We will check that what Italy has
promised Italy is delivering. And if it is not delivering I will say so,”
Page 68
Ms Lagarde said.
European Commission President
Jose Manuel Barroso said that the commission would also step up its monitoring of Italy.
Ms Lagarde told reporters: “The problem that is at stake and
that was clearly identified both by the Italian authorities and by
its partners is a lack of credibility of the measures that were announced.”
The IMF would also provide funds to stimulate Italy’s economy under strict conditions, she said.
Italy’s decision to call in the IMF comes after growing pressure from eurozone leaders to reduce its debt levels.
China eyes condom expansion
China’s leading domestic condom maker Safedom is looking
for European partners as part of a plan to go global.
The company will sell
200m condoms this year,
all within China, and is aiming to shift 1bn condoms
in 2012.
Brian Fu, chief executive, visited the UK recently
to meet possible partners.
Although it has a huge
potential domestic market
– China’s one-child policy
means condom makers are
always in demand - it wants to reach the international scene too.
Safedom claims its virus-proof latex condoms will let it
compete alongside the leading global brands such as Durex and
Ansell of Australia.
Safedom’s range includes Take Me, Beautiful Girl and,
intriguingly, Green Lemon. And while it has the technology, it
needs branding and marketing expertise for other countries to
take it seriously.
The world will buy 27bn units, worth $6bn, by 2015, thanks
largely to more demand from emerging economies such as China
and Africa. Safedom will launch in Bangladesh and African countries shortly.
Though China may be known for cheap, second-rate goods,
that isn’t the case with Safedom. Its super-bling rubbers go for

Best Buy seems like Worst Buy For Carphone Warehouse
More than 1,000 jobs could be lost at the UK’s Carphone
Warehouse as it is expected to close 11 electrical discount stores
that trade under the Best Buy label.
The outlets were supposed to be a springboard for Carphone to become a major electronics retailer but things have not
worked out as planned.
Best Buy UK, the British part of a US-based retailer, launched
11 “big box” stores in the UK in 2009. But consumer electronics
was one of the worst-hit sectors in the economic downturn as
shoppers rejected what are seen as luxury items.
Carphone planned to open up to 200 big box stores in Europe by 2013 but this was reduced to 100 in June.

The Northern Bangkok Criminal Court accepted a lawsuit
from Adrian Held, a Swiss investor, against Phuket Airpark Co and
its founder Suchard Raksangob for fraud. He alleges he was persuaded to invest in the company. Mr Held wants the 41.57 million
baht he invested given back.
Phuket Airpark said on its website the company was struggling financially and needed 50 million baht to save the project as
it has to repay bank creditors. It is looking to sell any part of the
project.
Mr Held said he was convinced to invest in the 124-rai Phuket
Airpark project in 2007. He agreed to become a shareholder in
Phuket Airpark Co, which meant he held a 20 per cent stake in the
company.
The Swiss investor transferred 37 million baht as he wanted
to cover the expected capital increase scheme as well.
“After investing, I noticed the project was not progressing
and the capital increase programme didn’t take place as promised,” Mr Held said.
He requested his share certificate to confirm his investment
in Phuket Airpark but said this was ignored. Mr Suchard finally
gave him a document in Thai, which was actually a document
about the company’s bills of exchange worth 28 million baht issued to Mr Held, he claimed.
“I was shocked. My investment to become a shareholder in
Phuket Airpark turned out to be a loan. I did not intend to do this
and Mr Suchard didn’t respect our original agreement,” he said.

GOLF TRAVEL FEATURE
Ass. Eds’ note…this is the first of an occasional series by Greg MacKenzie ..featuring Asia’s best courses - both in Thailand and in nearby countries…..
VICTORIA GOLF & COUNTRY RESORT
- Enigmatic, Ethereal and Engaging
This fine 18 holes of golf near Kandy, Sri Lanka will be seven years old in January 2007. Perched above the huge Victoria Reservoir - one of Southeast Asia’s
largest hydro-electric dams, this is one of the best modern courses in Asia – even
though it already looks as if it has been there for ever. The course is part of a
sizeable (yet discreet) residential resort. In a land full of stunning beachside
hotels and tea-country hill settings, Victoria Golf & Country Resort is one of Sri
Lanka’s finest resorts. The golf course has been named “The Best Course on the
Sub-Continent” by readers of Asian Golfer. Course Architect Donald Steel rates it
as one of the best in his huge portfolio. We are talking understated class.
Historical Notes and Crystal-ball Gazing
Why would a country possessing only two other golf courses
(Royal Colombo, 1879 – the fourth oldest golf club outside
Britain & Nuwara Eliya – late 1880s, built by Gordon
Highlander soldiers) entice someone to build a new one
more than a century later? It took a man of vision a decade
ago to work out that once the new dam on the Victoria River
was created, that nearby land would make an ideal resort.
The late Mark Bostock was that man of vision. He had for
many years been the leading tea planter in Sri Lanka. His
estates and other business interests had made the Britishborn planter an extemely rich man – until the Government
“nationalised” most of the foreign-owned tea plantations.
Over time, he was left with just one tea estate – regarded as
being the leading one in both terms of production and tea
quality. The “Socialist” government finally took that one as
well, leaving Mark and his long-time estate manager, Tony
Witham without anything to do. Tony was a keen golfer and
had extensive nursery and garden experience earned during
his time managing Melbourne’s public gardens in Australia
(where he lived after the tea estate “purges”). Together they
found the site, got hold of British golf architect Donald Steel
and started building. Today, their dreams are well on the
way to be realised with 18 holes of golf, 250 house plots,
50 glorious private mansions, a dozen golfside chalets, a
clubhouse (with swimming pool), a riding school, a golf
academy, etc., (and one or two six-star hotels expected to
start construction over the next year or so). Sadly, Mark
Bostock did not live to see his vision come to final fruition.
However, his charming widow, Elizabeth and two of his
nephews are still very much involved in Victoria, as is Tony
Witham and his wife who have semi-retired to a house
overlooking both the golf course and the Reservoir. Tony now
runs Victoria Turf & Landscape Management Services.
Page 76
Not a Course for Hackers
The average golfer looking for an easy course for a quick
game will not be found at Victoria. Members and guests
regularly take the arduous 3-hour drive up into the hills
from Colombo each weekend, some of them actually
returning on the same day. Many more people travel
thousands of kilometres for a return visit. The English
cricket team often stay here during Test series visits,
with former cricketing hero Ian Botham leading V.I.P.
supporters to the first tee. Botham reckons it is one of the
best courses that he has ever played. Several Members
with houses already built make frequent visits from their
London and Paris homes. Other Members are scattered
throughout Europe, the Middle East, Southeast Asia
and the Maldives (Colombo is a hub for access to these
islands). The leading Sri Lankan cricketer has a house
here and his team often stay or visit Victoria whenever
they are playing a Test at nearby Kandy. An international
course for international players.
Despite this, the General Manager, Yorkshireman Mike
Varney (a former European Tour player who has run golf
clubs and teaching programmes in South Africa, the Middle East and
Thailand) is adamant that the facilities are ideal for beginners. The
Victoria Golf Academy was established in 2005 and Mike reports that
many players have learnt to play or improved their games there. The
Academy offers a full range of tuition packages, using video cameras
as a teaching aid. Particularly popular is their “Learn Golf in a Week”
programme – that sees many travel from Dubai on an Emirates package (Emirates and Sri Lankan Airlines are part of the same group).
As below, Victoria has a wide range of accommodation on site for
Academy students and other visitors.
Non-golfing guests enjoy Victoria’s activities such as horse-riding,
trekking, swimming and bird-watching (over 70 species of birds so
far recorded), as well as visiting the nearby World Heritage City of
Kandy (Buddha’s Tooth, the Botanical Gardens and the Elephant
Orphanage, amongst other things). Kandy used to be the Capitol
of Sri Lanka and has a lot to offer.
Designed by God (with help)
Courses architect Donald Steel described the setting for his creation
thus: “Some golf courses have splendid undulating terrain over which
the holes are routed. Other golf courses have a scenic backdrop of hills
and lakes to excite the senses. Victoria is however, blessed with both
attributes.” I have never been a particular fan of Mr. Steel since he
modified my Great Uncle’s courses of Sand Moor and Moortown
in Leeds some years ago. But on reflection, he only did this on the
insistence of the (then) short-sighted club committees. He actually
did a reasonable job, given the poor land constraints that he faced.
Victoria is the first full-blown course of his that I have ever played
and I am VERY, VERY impressed. As per the title of this section, God
was the main architect, with human help from Mark Bostock, Tony
Witham and Donald Steel. It is a beauty!
Ball Spotters to the ‘Fore
Probably highly illegal in the hallowed “Rules of Golf” a
decade or two ago, nowadays pro tournaments have
these as standard. Finding the ball at the recent U.S.
Open would have been impossible without them. The
difference is that instead of the Spotters being allocated
one particular spot, at Victoria they stay ahead of the
pack by RUNNING to the next clump of shiggy or stand of
huge trees. They then give arm signals to tell your caddie
what has happened. My favourite signal is one arm held
vertically, with the hand going in circles as if the Spotter
is an England Rugby supporter twirling a football rattle at
Twickenham – that means your ball is on the green! And
they are good (the Spotters, not England). My last round
of golf there saw me go out with just four balls, coming
back with the same four (all listed and counted by the
Caddie Master before and after play). My ball had found
its way into dense rough five times (my fault) and into a
water hazard once (a tree’s fault). I shall have it mounted.
There must be one Spotter per two players and the cost
is ridiculously cheap (given the high value of golf balls
in Sri Lanka) – under $3 USD each, including tip. A good
ball costs that alone.
The Staging Area
The large clubhouse area sits on a small hillside surrounded by
comfortable chalets (the “Knuckles Chalets” & the “Victoria Chalets”),
the driving range (sweeping downhill views over the reservoir) and
a swimming pool. The clubhouse is a former farm manager’s bungalow that has been extended into a small but functional single-level
“hacienda” building. The wide verandah has views of the golf course
(mainly the 17th and 18th holes) over lawns and one of the practice
putting greens. An enlarged kitchen and restaurant extension will
be ready by Christmas, 2006 – providing even better views of the
course. There is a large putting green up by the infinity swimming
pool, both of which sit below the driving range and a chipping hole
(with bunkers). The Pro Shop and the GM’s office were former farm
outbuildings and this is where golf operations are run from. The
caddies are a mix of keen local youngsters – both boys and girls
from their teens upwards. MANY HAVE SINGLE HANDICAPS. They
have been thoroughly taught to be both professional and courteous
and in return are encouraged to play once or twice a week in their
own competitions, at no cost. Expect to see some Asian champions
emerging from this hotbed of talent. Even the Ball Spotters play golf
– but they are also pretty fit. We might even see some cross-country
champions emerge as well! If you want to hit some balls before you
tee-off, the Caddie Master will arrange for a Ball Spotter and Caddie
to accompany you to the driving range. The Spotter’s job is to collect
each ball – and he stands way below you down on the range (with
crash helmet) as he is peppered with your hooks and slices. There are
few golf carts available and so you must be pretty fit to continue to
play well as your long hilly walk progresses. But what a walk!

Rise of Newcastle thanks to Ashley
This season has already smashed the idea that there is a
Big Four in the Premiership. Tottenham and Manchester City
have ensured that Man Utd, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool are
no longer guaranteed of their perennial top-four slot.
However, not many would have imagined Newcastle
would have challenged the status quo. Since Mike Ashley (Pictured here below) bought the club, he has faced fierce criti-
Ashley, the owner of SportsDirect, faced the wrath
of fans for that decision. And giving Pardew the manager’s job hardly seemed wise either, given his lack of
big-club experience (apologies to Reading, West Ham,
Charlton and Southampton, but you get the picture).
Things started badly, with an FA Cup loss to Stevenage and the sale of striker Andy Carroll to Liverpool. But
that was all part of Ashley’s masterplan, as he bought
wisely and got rid of dead wood. Newcastle had an
operating loss in the year ending July of 37.7m pounds,
before player trading. In the Championship they lost
33.5m pounds. In November though, they showed a loss
of a mere 4.7m pounds.
Changes on the pitch include Yohan Cabaye, the
creative heart of the team, new captain Fabricio Collocini
and Demba Ba, who hit two hat-tricks within the first few
months. Cynics point out that Graham Carr, the senior
scout, is also the father of Alan Pardew, but thus far, what
he’s done he’s done well. Anyway, he can’t be worse than
Dennis Wise.
But much credit has to go to Ashley. This is a man
universally ridiculed after making Sam Allardyce manager, questioned when he brought back Kevin Keegan and
criticized for selling Carroll and Enrique. There was a time
he was ready to walk away from the club, but nobody
wanted to buy when Newcastle were Championship
clubs with dressing room revolts going on.
John Terry
Chelsea skipper John Terry has always managed to combine a glittering career and fantastic talent with an ability to do really dumb things.
Personal relationships, selling tickets he shouldn’t have been flogging and, well let’s not even get into
his relatives’ behavior. His most recent
problem involved a row with QPR’s
Anton Ferdinand ( Pictured alongside) . Terry is alleged to have hurled
racist abuse at Ferdinand, and prompted millions of youtube viewers to offer
their lip-reading expertise as they
discuss exactly what Terry said.
His place in the England team
was in doubt, the police started to
investigate and Terry protested his
innocence. For what it’s worth, we’ve
seen the video clip and don’t think he

anything to do with race and all hell breaks loose. That’s
no bad thing, as racism has long haunted football and any
hint of it should be stamped out. But the hype and hyperbole associated with this case does seem overkill.
After all, Man Utd’s Evra accused Liverpool’s Suarez
of exactly the same thing a week earlier. That case seems
to have been forgotten, mainly as the idea of Suarez being able to muster an insult in English when he struggles
with basic sentences, seems unlikely.
FIFA bans England Poppies
cism, but Newcastle is in a far better place now than before he
arrived.
With manager Alan Pardew enjoying something of resurgence, Newcastle began the season in emphatic fashion. True,
it wasn’t until November that they faced any of the ‘giant’ clubs,
but everything they did until then, they did well.
You may have noticed that the Premier League’s
clubs all had poppies stitched onto their shirts for the
November 11 Remembrance Day.
At one point they even reached second-spot and while
this is clearly an example of punching well above your weight,
it does show how far Newcastle have progressed.
What you won’t have seen are the same poppies on
England’s shirts when they played a friendly at the same
time? The reason: the absurd, pedantic and petty force
that is FIFA.
Think back a year and we find Newcastle United also flying
high – but in the Championship, where they were led by Chris
Hughton, who was promptly sacked after securing promotion.
We’re not suggesting Newcastle will
still be in second place next May, however, he has done a surprisingly effective job
at getting the club back to where the fans
feel they belong.

YOU COULDN’T MAKE THIS UP
My girlfriend’s son (age 7) is staying with us for the school holidays, he’s got a bit of a temperature, so she gives him the
equivalent of ‘Calpol’ to cool him down.
Last night in the early hours I was woken up by the sound of rain, it was hammering down, and made even louder as it hit
the canopies over the balconies.
She was up, and going to give him another dose of medicine, just then there was massive lightening, lighting up the
whole room, followed immediately by thunder so loud, you could almost feel the building shaking, another lightning followed , it was as though it happened right outside the window, so bright you almost needed glasses, and again the thunder so
loud you thought it was inside the room, a third lot of lightning followed just as powerful and bright as the previous two, and
again just like it was directly overhead the thunder was deafening with ornaments vibrating, I looked at my girlfriend who
was just about to give her son some more medicine and asked ‘Is he frightened?’,
“No” she replied “He likes the medicine”.
That’s the kind of intellectual sharpness I have to deal with!!
