Latest News Get all the news before anyone else PATTAYA Issue 424 Around Town Get the lowdown on what’s on in Pattaya PEOPLE Saturday 14th to Saturday 21st December 2013 • Online at www.pattayapeople.com Honoring the King To celebrate the 86th birthday of H.M. the King and also National Fathers Day, as the King is also the Father of the Nation, a host of activities were made throughout Thailand to pay respects to His Majesty. Activities were held in and around Pattaya, including religious monk blessing ceremonies such as one held at Nongprue Municipality, led by Nongprue Mayor Mai Chaiyanit, councilors and local residents. In Pattaya the main observance took place at Bali Hai Pier when Pattaya Mayor Ittipol Khunplume led an official ceremony to honour the King. Attending were officials and staff from City Hall to pay respects to His Majesty and also celebrate Fathers Day with a candlelit procession in front of a portrait of the King, followed by a firework display. Other places that paid homage to the king included a similar ceremony at Central Festival Pattaya Beach Mall and at Pattaya Schools where students held merit making services with lit candles to honour the King and also their fathers. Further up the province, at Sriracha Boy Scout Camp, where the 4th ASEAN Scout Jamboree is taking place, a total of 7,000 scouts from 17 countries took part in a blessing ceremony. The famous tourist attraction, Nong Nooch Garden and Resort in NaJomtien organised a tribute to honour the birthday of H.M. the King and National Fathers Day. As usual a parade with young people dressed in traditional Thai costume was accompanied by resident elephants all dressed up and parading around this famous garden on Sukhumvit Road. The highlight of the show that wowed the crowd was a baby elephant presenting a garland of flowers to its father, followed by three elephants presenting flowers in front of a portrait of H.M. the king. Father Ray Remembering Father Ray Brennan A remarkable observance ceremony occurred last Sunday at Central Festival Pattaya Beach Mall, where crowds gathered to remember the 10th anniversary of the death of the late Father Ray Brennan. Father Ray dedicated his life to the underprivileged children and young people of Thailand, spending 29 years in Pattaya. During his lifetime he founded several residential facilities to support orphaned, abandoned and neglected children. Father Ray also founded two schools, a Vocational School for People with Disabilities and another for young blind children in Naklua. At this commemoration, a host of government dignitaries, celebrities and VIPs, including Pattaya Mayor Ittipol Khunplume, Khun Rattanachai Sutthidechanai, Chairman of Pattaya Tourism and Culture and Mr. Niels Colov, CEO of Pattaya People Media Group turned up to commemorate the life of this extraordinary American priest from the Redemptorist Order, who was founder of the Father Ray Foundation. The commemoration started with a marching band and followed by speeches from the Mayor Ittipol, MP for Chonburi, The Honorable Porramet Ngampichet, Nongprue Mayor Mai Chaiyanit and Father Michael and Father Pattarapong Srivorrakul, Chairman of the Father Ray Foundation.

Lighting Up Royal Garden Plaza Festive Decorations As Christmas and the New Year festivities get closer, the next shopping mall on the list to light up with decorations and a spectacular Christmas tree was the Royal Garden Plaza with entrances on Second and Beach Roads. Noone was disappointed last weekend as the Plaza, which is probably the original shopping mall, going way back to the 1980s to spectacularly decorate the front and rear of the building. This year Santa loaned the store one of his state of the art super charged sleighs for everyone to have the chance to sit in and pretend they are flying all over the world with presents for all the world’s good children, like he will be doing on Christmas Eve.

He was then transferred to the emergency room at Pattaya Memorial Hospital. According to eye witnesses the man had been run over by the tour bus as he attempted to cross the busy road to get to Walking Street. Mr. Anusorn, the 60 year old driver of the bus stated that he saw many pedestrians trying to cross the road, and as he tried to navigate past them to go up South Pattaya Road, without realising it, he accidentally hit the man. A report was made and the investigation continues. Fugitives Caught Russian Tourist Takes On Thief Police Volunteers and members of the public strolling on Soi Diana Inn in Central Pattaya went to the aid of Ms Nadezda Blizgareva last Saturday evening after she cried for help when two Thai men grabbed her shoulder bag.

The two men in their 20s were detained with the bag containing money and a mobile phone and then taken to the police station to be booked and await their day in court. Woman Attacked by Tourists In the early hours of Thursday morning Pattaya police were notified of an assault on a woman that had occurred at the Beach Road end entrance to Walking Street. An officer at the scene went to investigate and found 29 year old Miss Oraphan with bruising to her face and body. She was given first aid and then to the police station before being sent to Banglamung hospital for further treatment. Before she left, the woman gave a statement, saying that she was walking alone on Walking Street when 3 Russian tourists, 2 men and a woman past by, and one of them, a male apparently touched her backside. This annoyed her, so angrily she punched the man. In retaliation, all three ganged up on her and kicked her to the ground then repeatedly punched her and one of them kicked her in the face. She cried for help but no one came to her rescue. CCTV footage is now being studied as the investigation continues.

Since the news of the positive US employment report, speculation has kicked off once more regarding when the Federal Reserve will decide to taper its $85 billion monthly bond-buying programme. While the previous considerations of cut backs earlier this year did not materialise, this time round it seems the bank might just go through with a “small taper”. This conclusion comes on the back of significant comments from James Bullard, St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank President, who is voicing support for trimming the quantitative easing. The comments are somewhat unexpected since Bullard, who is considered something of a bellwether for US monetary policy, in recent months, has argued against reducing the funds due to overly low inflation. However, despite this, he has now said that reducing the bond buying programme by a small percentage would rightly acknowledge the significant improvement shown in the job market, while still giving the central bank the flexibility to alter its course should inflation continue to linger too far below the Fed’s 2% target. A few other experts now think the Federal Reserve could taper the programme as soon as next week, but most still expect the Fed to wait until January or March to make sure recent signs of strength in the labour market are lasting. The central bank’s leadership has yet to voice its decisions. Could capital gains tax deter UK property investors? The move to introduce a new tax on foreign property investors could be a very bad move for the UK’s government, according to various analysts. They said the introduction of this new levy could go as far as bringing London’s thriving property market to a screeching halt. Announced by George Osborne during his Autumn Statement, the Finance Minister said this new measure will be coming into effect in April 2015 and see foreign investors paying a capital gains tax (CGT), a tax on any rise in value of their possessions, when they sell off their property in the UK. This will have “shivers down the spine” of various foreign investors, who account PATTAYA PEOPLE WEEKLY ISSUE 424 | SATURDAY 14TH TO SATURDAY 21ST DECEMBER 2013 for 28% of central London property buys, who could take the move as a sign that more charges will be coming towards them, but Osborne described it as the fair step for the UK’s citizens when he said that, “it’s not right that those who live in this country pay capital gains tax when they sell a home that is not their primary residence - while those who don’t live here do not.” According to International consultancy Deloitte, the move will bring in as much as £345 million for the government by the year 2018/2019. Beijing cracks down on Bitcoin transactions China has barred the country’s financial institutions from doing any kind of business in Bitcoin, saying that it is a virtual product, not a currency. Chinese financial regulators published the notice - which is the first official policy ruling from Beijing about the virtual currency - on Thursday. Although it did not quite go so far as to ban Bitcoin altogether, the notice underscored the numerous risks associated with it, from money laundering to criminal activities. “Although there are people calling it a ‘currency’, it is not issued by the monetary authority, it does not possess the attributes of a currency such as legal repayment and enforcement abilities,” the central bank said in a statement explaining the notice. The only positive thing about Bitcoin for the moment was that the amount circulating in the financial system was so limited, it added. “Judged by its nature, Bitcoin is one particular kind of a virtual product. It does not have the legal status of a currency, and it cannot CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE Update : 1 Effective From : 8:30 Currency Description and moreover should not be allowed to circulate in the market as a currency.” Bitcoin appreciated by 5,000% this year, driven by a strong surge in demand from China.

News Clean Drinking Water for School No 5 Water is arguably the most important ingredient for humans to have a happy healthy life. All plants and animals must have water to survive whether from a bottle or the food we eat. Particularly vegetables and fruit as you would have experienced when you bite into a juicy orange only to feel the juice running down your chin onto your clean shirt. 60% of the human body is made up of water, without which we are dehydrated and become unwell. Most visitors to Thailand take for granted having clean drinking water available at home at all times, just turn on the tap for a refreshing glass of water. But that is not the case in Thailand as children at School No. 5 discovered recently. There are 1,800 children at this school and they have 2 water filters in different parts of the school which, in the past, has provided clean drinking water when needed. But recently there have been reports of some children having upset stomachs. An inspection of the water showed that all was not well and one of the filters was closed by the doctor. The filters installed some years ago had gone past their sell by date and they did not have UHV filters attached, which counteracts bacteria such as e-coli, diarrhoea and other waterborne diseases.

GEMINI: (Born between 21st May & 20th June) The Full Moon this week occurs in your sign, bringing matters of a personal nature to a point of fulfilment. This could also see you busier with anything you have been working at further developing. Gaining acceptance or support from others may not be as forthcoming as you would like, making you realise what you need to deal with. CANCER: (Born between 21st June & 22nd July) There is a lot developing behind the scenes, which you can probably sense. Take stock of what you have had to be responsible for during the last 18 months. This will be a good guide when it comes to commitments you are prepared to make in the future. Right now details may not interest you but don’t let this encourage you to be careless. LEO: (Born between 23rd July & 22nd August) You can be distracted more than you anticipate by situations involving a group of people or your friends. Matters are coming to a point where you need to deal with the details and focus on a regular basis. Becoming more serious is something you have to adjust to. This will lead to developing stable and reliable outcomes. VIRGO: (Born between 23rd August & 22nd September) You should have worked out what is better to let go of during the last month so that you are in an improved position to put your ideas in place. Pleasure needs to be part of this, though you might need LIBRA: (Born between 23rd September & 22nd October) Someone could be looking for your guidance more than you realise. You need to ascertain what they have considered has been their situation in life as a whole during the last 18 months. You need time to reflect upon matters before you set about putting anything in place because it can alter your own situation significantly. SCORPIO: (Born between 23rd October & 21st November) You need to remain focussed on the commitments you have to deal with personally. There won’t be much you can do about situations generated by others that seem to be heading towards an outcome that has the potential to be changeable, even unstable. You will stay mentally balanced by reminding yourself there is no quick outcome. SAGITTARIUS: (Born between 22nd November & 21st December) Matters can come to a head where others are concerned. Be mindful of anything you want to be able to keep under control. It may require you to give very little information about your own position or plans you intend to put into practice. Restricting the expression of your ideas can be very hard for you to handle. CAPRICORN: (Born between 22nd December & 19th January) Consider what has been the underlying essence of your existence during the last 18 months. This has created a foundation in your life. Is it the type of foundation you want to build the future upon? There is much to consider about your own position to early March. This can include what other people project into your life as well. AQUARIUS: (Born between 20th January & 18th February) Light-hearted activities can bring much joy and pleasure at the moment. At a deeper level though you can feel life is on the edge of change. The more you have learned to consider the whole essence of a situation over the last 18 months, the stronger will be your mental resolve when it comes to decisions you need to make. PISCES: (Born between 19th February & 20th March) Matters to do with home and family can come to a head in some way, making things more obvious. It can result in realising that it is better to leave certain obligations behind and to focus upon your own wishes. This could lead you to discover a certain peace by recognising that some things appealed to you mainly because they were out of reach. ONLINE AT WWW.PATTAYAPEOPLE.COM | LEGAL PATTAYA PEOPLE RADIO 96 FM Your Passport and You Khun Somsak Chopaka Siam Firm Inter Laws was established by Khun Somsak Chopaka an Attorney at Law with 30 years of working experience in domestic and international law, for individuals both foreign and local, domestic entities and in-house legal counsel for numerous established international companies. Khun Somsak will be giving legal advice about the ever changing situation in regards to Thai Law and keeping readers up to date with the constant changing business and social environment here in Thailand. Over the years I have seen many times the people who were cheated or had suffered loss due to fraud or a scam going to a police station with the offender to sort out their problem. Normally the police will try to get them to compromise with each other by being the middle man, they will try to negotiate between the two parties and ask if or when the offender can pay back the amount owed whilst scheduling another meeting at a future date to check on the situation. After the negotiations on the condition of the agreement on both parties the case will be dropped for a while and the police will ask you to pay back the money owed in a future date normally a week to two weeks. This is always the case with the police including other situations such as accidents etc. not just fraud or cheating cases. After all this the police will tell you that you will have to leave your original passport with the police until the time that you pay back the sum when the passport will be returned. One such case concerned three parties; two men and one woman, the two men being business partners and the woman being the girlfriend of one of the men. The lady was brought to the police station by the business partner of her boyfriend and was accused of cheating nine million baht from him. She argued that she did not have anything to do with it or any of the money at all and claimed it was all concerning her boyfriend. But the business partner argued that they had sometimes transferred company funds to her bank account in Singapore, on realizing this woman became scared but still stuck to her story. The lady said to the police that she would try to talk to her boyfriend about how to pay back the money he owed but it would be difficult as he was arrested regarding another case. At that time the police said that if you are planning to pay him back, can you give me your passport and then come back to talk with each other again about the plan. After this agreement and handing the passport over, at the next scheduled meeting she found out that the business partner had no evidence whatsoever of sending money to her account. After this she should have been let go with no legal obligations whatsoever, but this was not the case at all. Because the business partner did not drop the case and kept trying to find a way to take the case to court and would not stop until the police allowed him to do so. The legal proceedings took a very long time, in fact almost 3 years, during which the lady could not travel abroad due to her passport being property of the court. At the end of the case the defendant was found to be innocent, which was the case since the start but because of her passport being in the hands of the police, she was dragged into a long and drawn out process. OUR COMMENT: If you wish to settle a similar case quickly then please go ahead and try to make a compromise with the other party with the help of the police and schedule another appointment at the station at a later date. But make sure that you do not hand over your passport. If it is like the above story then if there is no evidence you are free to go, you can fly out of the Kingdom, you can work normally and do everything you would normally | do. But if you give your passport over to the police then it is like you are saying that you are the guilty person and you are agreeing that you have to pay back the necessary amount to the other person. Your passport is your personal property which should be on you at all times, similar to a Thai citizen’s ID card. For something like this the police cannot force you to hand it over and they have no legal authority to make you. If you have your own case or any questions regarding law in Thailand please feel free to write in to us and we will answer any questions or concerns in this column.

Waarschijnlijk heeft u over de Bitcoin al wel gehoord. Deze virtuele munt steeg afgelopen jaar explosief in waarde, wat voor vele media aanleiding was erover te berichten. Al die media-aandacht verklaart de toenemende populariteit met weer verdere koersstijgingen tot gevolg. En daarover wordt vervolgens dan weer bericht enz. Is de Bitcoin een kansrijke belegging? Of is sprake van een klassieke luchtbel. WAT ZIJN BITCOINS ? De Bitcoin is een risicovolle virtuele munt, die met echt geld gekocht kan worden. Dat klinkt al merkwaardig, maar wie een boekenbon koopt doet eigenlijk hetzelfde. Het verschil is echter wie de munten uitgeeft. Dat is namelijk niet de winkelier, een bank of overheid. Bij de Bitcoin zijn het de deelnemers zelf die de munt beheren. Anders dan een boekenbon welke voor een bepaald bedrag gekocht wordt en waarbij dan later voor dat bedrag een aankoop kan worden gedaan ligt de waarde van de Bitcoin niet vast. De Bitcoin, goed beschouwd is niet meer dan een ruilmiddel van blokjes data, wordt niet gereguleerd door een overheid of centrale bank. Bij hen kunt u dan ook niet aankloppen wanneer het met de Bitcoin faliekant mis gaat, of wanneer u om wat voor reden dan ook uw Bitcoins kwijtraakt. Zoals bekend drukken centrale banken momenteel flink geld bij ter bezwering van de gevolgen van de kredietcrisis. Het uiteindelijke aantal Bitcoins is echter gelimiteerd. Nieuwe Bitcoins worden gecreëerd door met veel computerkracht ingewikkelde rekensommen op te lossen. Die sommen worden steeds ingewikkelder zodat er niet te snel nieuwe Bitcoins bijkomen. Momenteel zijn er ruim 12 miljoen Bitcoins en uiteindelijk omstreeks het jaar 2015 zullen dat er omstreeks de 20 miljoen zijn. Bij de koers nu van circa US $ 1.000 zijn de huidige Bitcoins samen ongeveer US $ 10 miljard waard, maar dat kan snel veranderen. SPECULATIE Aanvankelijk werd de Bitcoin vooral gebruikt door computernerds en criminelen. Aan dat gezelschap hebben zich intussen ook vele gokgeile Chinese speculanten toegevoegd. En met een totale ‘beurswaarde’ van de Bitcoin die aan het begin van dit jaar amper een paar honderd miljoen dollar bedroeg, waren er niets eens zulke enorme bedragen nodig om de koers flink op te stuwen. Maar beseft goed dat wanneer u Bitcoins koopt, u feitelijk niets anders koopt dan stukjes computercode waarvan de intrinsieke waarde zelfs minder is dan die van een oliebol. En het kan dan best dat het aantal Bitcoins uiteindelijk gelimiteerd is, iets wat geen waarde meer kan opleveren. Overheden worden vaak als onbetrouwbaar gezien, en voor centrale banken geldt dat ze voortdurend geld bijdrukken. De Bitcoin, het anonieme betalingssysteem waarover banken noch overheden (nog geen) grip hebben, wordt daarom wel als een alternatief financieel systeem gezien, maar ik vindt het een groot risico en zal het u afraden want het risico is te groot. EURO Met een normale munt zoals de euro bezit u echter tenminste nog een redelijke aanspraak voor dit massieve betaalmiddel. Voor een virtueel Bitcoin-muntje bestaat zo’n aanspraak er niet. Een ieder die het geluk had in een vroeg stadium Bitcoins te verkrijgen - of zo slim was ze vooruitlopend op de hype te kopen - feliciteren wij van harte met de koerswinst. De koers van de Bitcoin kwam echtervolledig door speculatie tot stand. Dat betekent niet dat de koers van de Bitcoin niet nog veel verder zou kunnen oplopen, maar wel ik blijf er met mijn tamme tokkies vanaf. aantrekkelijke aanbiedingen, en bovenal met een 4 maanden geleden voorspelde Baht op minimaal 44 in mijn column voor het eind van 2013.(zie de website) Gefeliciteerd pensionados ! Deze gaat ongetwijfeld nog verder zakken gezien de grote financiele problemen, en durf wel weer een voorspelling te doen dat deze weer richting 48 gaat binnen 2 jaar. Onroerend goed in een plaats als Pattaya, waar de vraag enorm is blijft zijn waarde houden.Maar de grondspeculanten zijn de grote winnaars, zeker in 2015 wanneer de Asean Community wordt ingevoerd voor 10 Aziatische landen, en er ongetwijfeld massaal zal worden geinvesteerd in the Extreem City Pattaya, ofwel ‘the CITY who has it all”. Diverse vrienden en kenissen al schatrijk gemaakt die mijn adviezen hebben opgevolgt. Onlangs verkocht een kennis zijn grond voor 9 miljoen baht per Rai (1600m) die hij 7 jaar geleden had gekocht voor 300.000 baht per Rai. IK kon 6 jaar geleden nog een Rai kopen voor 2 miljoen aan de Jomtien second Road, die nu weg gaan voor 40 miljoen en meer per Rai. Ik weet nog steeds aantrekkelijke aanbiedingen, maar ze worden wel schaars.Let wel niet elk stuk grond is een garantie voor een snelle waardevermeedering. Lokatie is erg belangrijk, want ken ook personen die de verkeerde grond hebben gekocht. Maar er is echter maar zoveel grond en er komt niets meer bij, m.a,w. dat het beleggen in grond op een redelijk tot goede lokatie altijd meer waard wordt.Maar laat u vooral goed adviseren inzake bestemmingsplannen, want u grond kan ook waardeloos worden op termijn, als er geen weg en electra komt.

Oranje is dit jaar weer op GOED Beleg liever in onroerend goed, want het is nu weer een kopersmarkt met zoveel oorlogssterkte op dit 12 landen toernooi, incl. een aantal topamateurs die worden ingevlogen door onze sponsers, zoals ik vorig week al vermelde.Kreeg ook een toezegging van 2 spelers van FC Rayong United. Elk land mag met max. 5 buitenlandse spelers deelnemen. Echter mogen er maar 2 tegelijk spelen. (Zie foto 2012 met burgemeester van Pattaya) De officiele opening is op zondag 15 dec. en onze eerste wedstrijd is op maandag 16 dec. aanvang 18.30 tegen de gedoodverfde favoriet Rusland, die met een aantal sterke spelers aantreden uit de Russische competitie die nu stil ligt. Op dinsdag 17 dec. opnieuw om 18.30 tegen Finland en woensdag is de tijd nog niet bekend, want dat is afhankelijk van eerdere resultaten.Onze sponsers hebben gratis oranje shirts beschikbaar gesteld voor de echte Oranje supporters, die kunnen worden opgehaald bij de Oranje sponser het Tuliphuis. K A R I BLOEMEN N Was op haar best afgelopen zaterdag in het Seabreeze Hotel in een uitverkocht huis. Eerder trad Karin al op in Hua Hin, eveneens voor een uitverkocht huis. Had 20 kaarten gekocht voor vrienden en bekenden, en ondanks enkele sceptici gingen ze allen tevreden naar huis.De NTVP is aktiever dan ooit en timmert flink aan de weg, met als hoogtepunt dit jaar de geweldige theatershow van Karin Bloemen,onder de titel ‘Een avond met Karin Bloemen.Dit was een aaneenschakeling van verassende,mooie,uitdagende, lichtvoetige incl. serieuze en komische liedjes.Een waar pakket van de beste chansons van Karin, afgewisseld met soms hilarische teksten en pikante woord spelingen, zoals we dat van haar gewend zijn. Soms terugverwijzend naar de vedetten uit het verleden met haar grote voorbeeld Jasperine de Jong. Maar ook met een Zuid Amerikaans getint liedje opgedragen aan de symphatieke en zojuist overleden Nelson Mandela. Kortom een veelzijdige topentertainer in Pattaya met een wervelende show, die het staande applaus van de 260 aanwezige toehoorders ten volle verdiende. Onze ambassadeur Joan Boer was ook aanwezig met zijn vrouw op uitnodiging van de Ned. Vereniging Pattaya, die een compliment verdiend voor dit zeer geslaagde evenement, met ook dank aan alle sponsers. Op 17 dec. a.s. organiseerd de NVTP een golftoernooi waar nog plaats is voor de golfliefhebber. behoorlijk de weg kwijt zijn en of je zakken hebben gevuld. Tel uit je winst, want only money talks voor deze bejaarde en seniele Fifa dictator die niet eens meer tot 30 kan tellen.De zoveelste blamage en rode kaart Sepp, want jij bent de grote boosdoender van dit voetbal onrecht elke week, wat eenvoudig voorkomen had kunnen worden.Stap nu op Sepp, want daarmee doe je een groot recht aan het eerlijke en mooie voetbalspel, en vooral de gehele voetbalwereld. MANDELA VOETBAL QUIZ Een groot staatshoofd maar bovenal goed mens is van ons heen gegaan op 95 jarige leeftijd.Margereth Tatcher en Amerika noemden hem destijds een terrorist, en Amerika haalde hem pas in 2008 van de terror list. Grove schande voor een land die het fatsoen en het moraal zo hoog in het vaandel heeft staan, en de gehele wereld zijn wil op legt.Fifa dictator Sepp Blatter wilde ook even stilstaan bij dit grote verlies en vroeg om een minuut stilte. Dat hij een seniele oude dwaas was, heeft hij opnieuw bewezen door na slechts 10 seconden weer aan zijn speech te beginnen.Schaamteloos gedrag wat ik heb gerapporteerd aan de ledenraad van de FIFA,nogmaals met het verzoek om hem weg te stemmen.Lig al jaren met hem overhoop als Fifa lid en vice Chairman van FiFA Rotary International, vooral omdat hij maar niet aan het hoogstnoodzakelijke Hawk video systeem wil. Honderden voorbeelden van foute beslissingen van scheidsrechters hadden hiermee kunnen worden rechtgezet, maar die oude dwaas wil hier niet aan en zijn wil is wet.Notabene de grootste sport en het grootste sportevenement de WK. Bovendien een corrupte organisatie wat telkens weer naar boven komt, o.a. onlangs nog bij zijn voorganger Havelange.Hoe anders verklaar je de volgende WK in Dubai te organiseren, waar het soms meer dan 50 graden kan worden.Dan moet je wel Vrijdag 27 december is de grote voetbalquiz in het Tuliphuis aanvang 14.00 uur.Er is nog plaats voor deelname van maximaal 2 personen per team. Het inschrijfgeld is 500 baht per team inclusief 1 softdrink,koffie en diverse hapjes van het huis.
