ZOO VISIT 

Asian U Students at Kao Kheaw Zoo 

A group of Asian University 

first year business students 

recently went to the Kao 

Khaew open zoo; one of the students, 

Sarinya, wrote about the 

trip. 

“When I heard from 

the teacher that we are going on 

a field trip to Kao Kheaw Zoo, 

my first thought was “my, I’m 

not a grade 4 student anymore; 

I’m a freshmen in University!”. 

To be honest, I’ve never been to 

Kao Kheaw and to be even more 

honest, I’ve never had any desire 

to go there because of some 

previous impressions at other 

zoos! I thought of it as a dirty, 

smelly, small place that locks 

the poor animals in tiny cages, 

only a few animals to see, bad 

food, unclean washrooms, basically 

anything negative about 

the place. But all these feelings 

and issues were gone after I arrived 

and saw everything myself. 

We left Asian University 

about four p.m. on Friday 

and arrived at Kao Kheaw Open 

Zoo, around five o’clock in the 

afternoon. We had a meal and 

then walked around and took 

Arrival at the zoo (Sarinya front right). 

pictures and prepared ourselves 

for the Night Safari tour. 

About seven p.m. we 

walked inside the actual zoo 

Tong and a friendly snake. 

gate to wait for the bus that 

would take us for the tour. The 

zoo sent three staff with animals 

to show us and for us to get a 

close observation of them. By 

close, I mean actually touch, 

hold and play with them! There 

were four kinds of animals; a 

type of wild bear, a porcupine, 

a monkey and a snake. We were 

able to touch or hold all of these 

animals although I dared not 

touch the porcupine. At around 

7.10 p.m. we started to board 

the bus, ready for the Night Safari 

tour. 

The tour was interesting 

because we got to see these 

animals’ activities at night time 

and most of them usually spent 

day time sleeping; in other 

words we got to see the animals 

in their usual routine. The narrator 

was also great; he had lots 

of knowledge about all the animals. 

It was dark of course, one 

of the staff is the narrator and 

another one is holding a spotlight 

to guide us in the direction 

that the narrator is talking about. 

It was a good idea also because 

it focused us only on that part 

so we were able to see more animals 

than randomly looking 

around. 

We saw lots of animals 

and learnt tons of new information 

about them. We learnt 

about different types of cats and 

how they differed; for example, 

the Cheetah is the fastest runner 

and the Siberian Tiger is the 

biggest tiger. We saw one of the 

rarest animals in Thailand called 

a “Malayan Tapir” or “somsret” 

in Thai, it means “the right 

mixtures” because the animal 

looks like it combines four features 

of animals in one. It has 

Javan rhino-like feet, eyes, ears 

and a body like a pig and a nose 

that can stretch and contract like 

an elephant. We saw different 

types of birds and various types 

of monkeys and sorts of deer. 

The most interesting part that 

totally changes my attitude towards 

this zoo was all animals 

were not in any kind of cages 

except tigers, of course. These 

animals were free to live, to 

walk, to play and to live their 

lives. Also, they are not as harmful 

as we think they would be. 

The highlight of this 

zoo is not only animals are free 

to walk around, they have resorts 

as an accommodation in 

the zoo for people who want to 

stay overnight and the zoo has 

15 kinds of tiger for us to see 

even though we only have 9 

types in Thailand. We were able 

to walk around cage by cage to 

observe the tigers closely

through glass display windows. 

My attitude towards the zoo was 

changed after we finished the 

Night Safari tour. I thought of it 

differently and I felt a bit of guilt 

that I judged it before I saw it 

myself. Going to the zoo is not 

as bad as I thought. 

I’ve not only learned 

more interesting facts about 

these animals, but I also learned 

to think positive and be open 

minded to other things outside 

my scope of mind.”

Danger in the Kitchen 

The Sawang Boriboon 

Rescue received a call on 

the 7 th February from a distressed 

housewife that a snake 

had got its way into her kitchen 

and she needed assistance to 

remove it. The team went along 

to the house in Duck Square, 

South Pattaya to be greeted by 

Mrs. Chanapa Moonkate, 37 

years old. She stated that whilst 

she was cooking dinner she saw 

a snake moving about on the 

floor. An officer with safety 

equipment went into the kitchen 

and found a 50 centimeter long 

poisonous Malayan Pit Viper 

curled in a corner. The snake 

acted very aggressively and with 

its great ability to jump it tried 

to attack the officer, who quickly 

fended off the creature by hitting 

it with a long steel stick. As the 

snake was potentially dangerous, 

the officer took it upon himself 

to kill it for the safety of the 

residents in the block. Malayan 

Pit Vipers are quite common all 

over Thailand and are found 

mainly in jungle areas, under dry 

leaves or stones. They are usually 

very active during the day.

MISSING DANE 

Help Us Find Danish, Niels Soeren Ranch Jensen 

A Danish magazine 

had a heartwarming story about 

a father being united with his 

daughter in Pattaya after she had 

been looking for him for 10

“wanted” by friends in Denmark. 

We therefore ask foreigners 

living in Pattaya to help us 

locate Danish Niels Soeren 

Ranch Jensen. His former work 

mates would like Niels to join 

them at the yearly party at 

“Dalbyover Kro”. 

If you have any information

please contact Mr. Karsten Brun

or Jan: 08-1572-5791. By the 

way – in the magazine story 

about Niels Jensen and his 

daughter Anne, it was mentioned 

that Niels Jensen was 

missing Danish “B arnaise 

Sauce” – now the good news is 

that someone has brought a sup- 

ply of “B arnaise Sauce” for 

him. 

The Danish magazine “Ude og Hjemme” brought this photo 

of Niels Soeren Ranch Jensen and his daughter Anne.

DRUNKEN FALL 

Man Falls off Building 

Another case of a 

drunken man falling off a construction 

building took place on 

the 9 th February at Walking 

Street. Officers from Pattaya 

Police went along with Sawang 

Boriboon to find 27 year old 

construction worker, Prayuth 

who had fallen off the second 

floor of a building. 

He sustained bruises 

and a head wound and was 

given immediate treatment by 

the medical team. He stated that 

he had been drinking with coworkers 

and went back to his 

room to find it locked. 

He went next door to 

climb over the balcony to enter 

his room when he slipped and 

fell. 

STUDENT SUCCESS 

Students from the 

Photisampan School in Naklua 

received congratulations from 

their teachers, fellow students 

and parents on the 11 th February 

for passing their examinations 

and gaining entrance to a 

variety of universities around 

Thailand. A total of 56 students 

passed their entrance exams and 

will now go on to study their 

chosen subjects at university in 

June this year. 

NEW SOCIAL LAW 

Children and Social Rights 

On the morning of 

the 11th February Mr. Suchart 

Suttinak, Head of Children’s 

Social Development and Welfare 

held a meeting at the 

Redemptorist School in Pattaya 

Klang concerning the new law 

protecting the welfare of children. 

A group of social work- 

ers and counselors 

attended to gain 

knowledge about the 

new law and its application 

when dealing 

with children 

from broken homes 

and victims of abuse 

in society. 

CLEARING DRAINS 

Cleaning Drains in Jomtien 

On the 11 th February 

at Dongtan Beach, Jomtien, 

Council Member, Mr. Praiwan 

Aromchreun together with fellow 

members went along to check on 

the ongoing cleaning up of 

blocked drainage pipes in the 

area along the Jomtien beach 

road by using suction equipment 

attached to trucks. 

Garbage and leaves 

were cleared from the drains to 

allow water to flow freely when 

heavy rain occurs in the area. 

This project will be carried out 

every 3 months to keep the 

drains clear. 


Aries March 21-April 19 The week starts well, just how you like. What happens, 

happens quickly and you get less of that feeling of kicking your heels waiting for everyone 

else. This is especially so if you have your own business, or enterprise. Although there 

is a steady build up tension continuing throughout the month, you are amazed at what 

you can achieve once your mind is set on the outcome. Pluto’s influence adds a certain 

relentless quality and others say you’re obsessive. Maybe so, but you want to make a 

point after all. 

Taurus April 20-May 20 Initially there could be some tension that you need to work 

through. What you want and what you have to deal with are certainly mismatched, but 

you do have powers of persuasion like no other, and you don’t give up either. This 

works out great for you and by Tuesday the Moon is in your sign, giving you a stronger 

intuitive sense of what is happening. There are political wranglings at work which you 

would rather not get involved with and it is often a matter of not getting drawn in by 

keeping in mind what is truly important in the grand scheme of things. Your love life 

continues to go from strength to strength. 

Gemini May 21-June 21 There is an intriguing sense of power and commitment surging 

through your veins which is fairly uncharacteristic! You discover elements about yourself 

which surprise even you, let alone those close to you. The connection between Mars 

and Pluto is not lightweight and you could be dealing with those matters that are very 

much about power and control and your need to get the upper hand rather than being 

manipulated. This could lead to a show down later. However, Mercury continues to be 

helpful to you in the sign of Aquarius, bringing you endless possibilities. It’s so hard to 

choose. 

Cancer June 22-July 22 Venus continues to travel though your opposing sign of 

Capricorn, and by rights you need to be exploring all those wonderful possibilities that 

excite the senses, preferably with someone you love or nearly love. Yes, it’s great for a 

fresh relationship and the feeling of trying things out for the first time can do wonders 

for your flagging self esteem. Jupiter, planet of abundance, is opening your eyes to 

opportunities, and can add complexity to your romantic life. Be upfront and open and 

avoid intrigue if possible. 

Leo July 23-August 22 The Sun and Neptune form an exact conjunction on Monday 

which is a fine way to start the week. This brings all sorts of possibilities, but Neptune 

is about anything other than reality. Your perceptiveness is sharp but can you rely on 

your judgment just now? If in doubt, seek answers from a trusted friend. The world 

seems a little more strange than usual, but it soon finds its feet again in a few days. 

Meanwhile enjoy the flights of fantasy and the doors that open, even if you choose not 

to step over the threshold. 

Virgo August 23-Sebtember 22 The helpful links with Jupiter are now getting weaker, 

and while you have had an optimistic viewpoint on the world these last few weeks, you 

are beginning to recognise that it’s not so much the reality of life that matters, but your 

response to it. Venus is the creative sector of your chart brings fun and joy in your 

interactions with others, and mild flirtations can be enough to give you a boost, but you 

are looking for something that is a little more tangible than that. Still, you have one or 

two matters to deal with associated with work and your health and this takes a priority 

this week.. 

Libra Sebtember 23-October 22 This week brings a tricky connection between your 

ruler, Venus, and Mars. Somehow you feel that life is going at someone else’s pace 

rather than yours and you are a little harassed. However, there is a chance to escape and 

something maybe offered to you which is out of the blue and gives you an experience 

that gets you back on track. You are super at dealing with people and your special skills 

are impressive when you turn others into fans. Enjoy your time in the limelight. 

Scorpio October 23-November 21 Although there a links with an event from the past, 

there is a chance to turn this to your advantage. Mars brings energy to that part of your 

chart associated with change and transformation and favours business dealings and 

financial decisions. You are not on your own here and shared profits work out great for 

you. This is in a climate of economic downturn, but you have an instinct for what is 

valuable, and it’s not always the obvious. Work on that for now. 

Sagittarius November 22-December 21 Your travel plans may be subject to change, 

but that in itself is not so remarkable. What really matters is who and with what you 

interact this week. It may be a question of getting back to basics and discovering things 

that you thought you had done with long ago. If you don’t mind go backwards on the 

particular learning curve you’re on, then it works out best for you. It’s more exciting 

than simply dong your homework and a lot more rewarding too. A new direction seems 

increasingly likely. 

Capricorn December 22-January 19 Sometimes there simply are no shortcuts, and 

although we, as a society, are somewhat obsessed with the concept of saving time, we 

seem to be achieving the opposite. This is where you come in, as you have a realistic 

grasp of the essentials and what matters, and how to go about life in a fairly logical and 

straightforward way. This week you are getting more of an idea of how this affects you, 

and Tuesday is a great day for discovering who else is on your wave length. Be prepared 

to jettison anything superfluous, sharpish! 

Aquarius January 20-February 18 How the exact conjunction of the Sun in your 

sign and Neptune works out for you should be a personal discovery different for everyone, 

so you have to go with the potential of what this represents. If you are trying to be 

precise, orderly and logical then you get anything but. For a moment, the way you 

thought the world works is not actually so, but this can give stunning insights. It’s one 

of those times where a logical timeline goes out the wonder and you just have to think 

about something and it happens. Spooky! 

Pisces February 19-March 20 You get a great boost and confirmation that you were 

right all along, especially on Monday. You discover what is right for you, and your 

niche. This sounds fairly major, but you have been working on a personal plan for quite 

sometime, and with Mars finally going direct making a link with the Sun and your ruler, 

Neptune, then you have some kind of revelation and insight that just ticks all the boxes 

for you. Continue in this frame of mind all week, and who knows what could happen. 

Self belief is a wonderful thing.

ISSUE 121 • SATURDAY 16 - 23 FEBRUARY, 2008 THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE OF PATTAYA

YOUR TRADE EXCHANGE (BARTERCARD) MEMBERSHIP 

IS AN IMPORTANT, APPRECIATING BUSINESS ASSET! 

Bartering success requires 

having some commonsense 

and using your ability to 

look at a situation from a 

slightly different perspective. 

Now let’s look at 

WHY you should not only be 

actively trading, but spending 

more time on your bartering 

strategy and efforts. It all begins 

by ascertaining the true value of 

your Bartercard membership. A 

heightened awareness will be 

stimulating! 

Today, as all markets 

become more saturated with 

goods and services, new customer 

acquisition, especially in 

the cash marketplace, becomes 

increasingly difficult. That’s 

why the new mantra in mar- 

keting and sales is lifetime 

value. 

What Is The Lifetime 

Value Of Your Trade Exchange 

Membership? 

First, let’s define this 

value. Lifetime value is a function 

of frequency of sales (annual) 

multiplied by the gross 

margin (your barter cost) multiplied 

by the years of duration 

(your active participation in the 

exchange). 

In other words, if, as 

a member of Bartercard you’re 

making ten barter sales a month 

and your gross margin is $50 per 

sale ($500/month or $6,000/ 

year) and you’re a member of 

Bartercard for twenty years, the 

value of your Bartercard mem- 

bership is $120,000. 

Imposing as this aggregate 

figure is, it’s just the “tip 

of the iceberg,” because these 

satisfied customers you’re successfully 

and happily serving 

will become a conduit for more 

business through word-ofmouth 

advertising. Bringing you 

additional Bartercard and cash 

customers! 

If only one brings you 

another happy colleague the 

value of your Bartercard membership 

increases to $132,000.* 

(Actually the value of the membership 

will be even more because 

we’re not considering any 

continual referrals by the happy 

colleagues.) 

Bottomline: The 

value of your Bartercard membership 

is really what you 

choose to make it. 

But given the enormous 

advantages of doing business 

in this manner, and looking 

at it in this new context, 

you’ve probably realized that 

your Bartercard membership 

could well be one of your 

company’s most valuable assets. 

“Because it’s an appreciating 

asset.” 

* Your figures may be 

considerably higher if you do 

more than $6,000 a year in gross 

margin barter sales, or trade for 

more years than in our example, 

and/or get more referrals than 

suggested. 

VIETNAM GOVERNMENT UNDERSTANDS VALUE OF BARTER 

An international 

group of developers is propos- 

ing a $4 billion resort and casino 

in Vietnam. The first phase 

will feature 10 restaurants, a 

Greg Norman designed golf 

course, an 8-acre swimming 

pool, 1,200 hotel rooms and an 

80,000 square foot Las-Vegasstyle 

table games casino. 

The project has been 

in the works for three years. Developers 

say they have a 50-year 

lease from the government on 

the 3.5 kilometer long beach 

front site. 

Vietnam is now on the 

map with its improved international 

stature since its admission 

as a member of the World Trade 

Organization in January. 

While the Vietnam 

government will generate 

money through the land lease, 

and a cut of the gambling revenues, 

the big payoff will come 

about through their bartering the 

use of the land. 

Decades from now 

these valuable assets (built by 

Asian Coast Development Ltd. 

of Toronto and Fontainebleau 

Resorts) will be turned over to 

the Government with the expiration 

of the lease. 


LIBERTY COMPUTERS UNVEIL NEW RANGE OF PC’S 

This week sees the release 

of our new range of desktop 

PC’s using the latest technology 

available. 

Whilst our range of 

desktop PC’s starts from only 

B13,900 for a complete set 

based on an ATHLON CPU, we 

have actually spent some time on 

coming up with three new PC’s 

specifically aimed at being powerful 

enough to support current 

and future operating systems. As 

much as one might not like 

VISTA at the moment, over the 

next few years it will stabilize, 

and more and more people will 

migrate to it, and to be happy to 

need a powerful enough PC. 

There are still many 

PC’s on the market especially at 

the ‘low end’ budget shops and 

supermarkets that sell machines 

that will not run full VISTA effectively. 

We have already upgraded 

several PC’s for new clients 

who purchased elsewhere 

and then found that the PC ran 

like a dog with three legs! 

We decided therefore 

to offer a range of PC’s that we 

think will stand you in good stead 

for years but at an affordable 

price. This new range starts at 

B20,000 up to B32,000 baht for 

the top end model, but all feature 

the latest INTEL dual core 

technology, built in card readers, 

quality LCD screens and DVD 

writers. For more details come 

along to our office where we will 

be delighted to offer you our advice 

and assistance. 

We are also coupling 

this with a special offer on our 

GPRS/EDGE internet access 

modems. As lots of our customers 

are still cannot get an ADSL 

connection, we are offering our 

GPRS/EDGE connection with a 

B1,000 discount if purchased at 

the same time as a new dual core 

PC set. 

All our PC’s carry a 

12 month warranty, of course. 

PASSWORD PAIN. 

Do you have problems remembering 

all your passwords? Using 

your favourite websites and 

services could soon mean 

memorising far fewer. 

Tech giants 

Microsoft, IBM, Google and 

Yahoo have joined the board of 

the Open ID Foundation which 

aims to streamline login systems 

across the web. 

The Foundation wants 

to bring about a system that 

could mean one ID acts as a guarantor 

of a person's identity across 

all the sites they have signed up 

for. 

Already more than 

10,000 websites have adopted 

the Open ID approach. 

At the moment, using 

a new web service typically 

means registering, laboriously 

entering personal details and 

thinking up another login name 

and password. 

Open ID aims to remove 

some of the need to keep 

creating new login names and 

passwords by adopting the approach 

used by your computer 

when it looks up a site name you 

type into an browser address bar. 

The Open ID approach 

revolves around an already 

established web identity 

that people nominate as their 

core identifier. 

When this identity is 

used to sign on elsewhere, requests 

are sent back to the original 

place it was created to be 

verified. 

While this could mean 

that people employ one login ID 

to for all the sites they use, it is 

more likely to let people significantly 

reduce the number of 

online identities they maintain. 

Different identities 

could be maintained for different 

purposes. 

"Open ID was always 

intended to be a decentralized 

sign-on system," said Brad 

Fitzpatrick, a Google software 

engineer who created Open ID 

while at blog software maker Six 

Apart. 

"It's fantastic to join a 

foundation committed to keeping 

it free and unencumbered by 

proprietary extensions." 

The backing of 

Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, IBM 

and Verisign will give the project 

more momentum as between 

them these firms look after services 

that have hundreds of millions 

of users. 

No information has 

been given about when the Open 

ID system will be used on the 

web services, such as Live Mail 

or GMail, that the companies 

run. 

Prior to the companies 

joining the Open ID board Yahoo 

had pledged its support. It 

created a trial system that let 

people user a Yahoo login as 

their Open ID. 

In a similar move 

Google allows people to leave 

comments on Blogger postings 

by signing in with their Open ID. 

BAD NEWS ON THE 

SPYWARE/MALWARE 

FRONT. 

The number of malicious programs 

found online has reached 

an unprecedented high, say security 

firms. 

Reports vary but 

some estimates suggest there 

were five times as many variants 

of malicious programs in circu- 

lation in 2007 compared to 2006. 

Security company 

Panda Software said it was getting 

more than 3,000 novel 

samples of so called malware 

every day. 

Criminals pump out 

variants to fool anti-virus programs 

that work, in part, by spotting 

common characteristics. 

Threat landscape 

Security software testing 

organisation AV Test reported 

that it saw 5.49 million unique 

samples of malicious software in 

2007 - five times more than the 

972,606 it saw in 2006. 

AV Test reached its 

total by analysing malicious programs 

and generating a digital 

fingerprint for each unique 

sample. 

The organisation said 

the different ways malware can 

be packaged will mean some duplication 

in its figures, but the 

broad trend showed a steep rise. 

The organisation uses 

the samples to test security programs 

to see how many they can 

spot and stop. 

Panda Software said 

the number of malicious samples 

it received in 2007 was up ten 

fold on 2006. In a statement it 

said the rise represented a 

"malware epidemic". 

Finnish security firm 

F-Secure said it had seen a doubling 

in the number of pieces of 

malware it detected in 2007 compared 

to 2006. 

Most of the malicious 

programs detected by these security 

organisations are aimed at 

the various versions of 

Microsoft's Windows operating 

system. 

The vast majority of 

these unique malicious programs 

will be made up of elements from 

older viruses that have been 

scrambled to look fresh. 

"It started about nine 

months ago, in early 2007, we 

saw massive surges of new variants," 

said Gerhard Eschelbeck, 

chief technology officer at antispyware 

firm Webroot. 

"There are days when 

we see 1,000 or more new 

samples," he said. 

"It's a low-effort highfrequency 

type threat," he said. 

"There's no completely groundbreaking 

new stuff out there." 

He added that hi-tech 

criminals were adopting several 

tactics to avoid being spotted by 

anti-virus programs which try to 

spot the "signature" of each malicious 

program they know 

about. 

"Anti-virus relies on 

customers to submit samples," 

said Mr Eschelbeck, "but with 

spyware you typically do not get 

samples because your customers 

do not know they are infected." 

Increasingly, security 

firms have turned to new techniques 

to combat the rise in 

malware variants. 

Some use heuristics, 

or rules of thumb, to spot programs 

that are similar rather than 

identical to the ones they have 

seen before. 

Others are using 

behaviour blockers that shut 

down any program that shows 

malicious intent. 

But what is obvious is 

that the battle is far from being 

won, the best you can do is to 

protect yourself as best you can. 

Here at Liberty we probably 

handle a situation whereby the 

only sure way to clean the system 

is to reformat almost on a 

daily basis. 

So that’s it for another 

week, any problems or questions 

just call or pop in to the office 

(038 360 400) or call email me

“New Zealand is a country

“My mother used to say

number can appear twice in any 

row, column or 3x3 box. Completing 

the puzzle requires patience 

and logical ability.

MEETING PROGRAMME FOR SUNDAY 17 FEBRUARY 2008 

Wardrobe! Makeup! Action! 

Once your stress levels 

are again taken good care of, 

this time by humour, it’ll be 

time for our famous Open Microphone 

Forum, which this 

week will be moderated by club 

member Eddie Wheeler. 

I wonder if Eddie will 

wear a Tuxedo for this TV occasion? 

The Open Microphone 

Forum, a PEC feature first devised 

in autumn 2002, is a lively 

exchange of information and advice, 

often tempered with 

humour, from Asia hands and 

‘expat experts’ in the audience 

- for all those practical questions 

on life in Thailand in general, 

and Pattaya in particular. 

The PEC’s free 

‘DVD and Book Swap’ table, 

on the left as you enter the meeting 

room, is a ‘member to member’ 

service. You donate some 

stock first and then take an 

equal number - to maintain our 

stock. All are invited to bring in 

those books, magazines and 

DVD’s which you’ve already 

perused, and swap them for 

some new ones! Our DVD stock 

is now much depleted - please 

donate some movies to ensure 

this valuable free service continues. 

PEC has an Emergency 

Helpline, PEC, EH! 086 

029 5325. Members can visit 

our website homepage for a 

boxed advert of this service, or 

cut out and keep the display 

advert in each issue of Pattaya 

People Weekly. The project is 

co-ordinated by PEC Board 

Member Steen Joergensen. 

A CPR-trained 

Thai nurse is part of the team 

operating the Pattaya International 

Hospital Health Desk in 

our foyer each week. In the 

event you have an emergency, 

or just feel unwell, make your 

way to the Health desk or alert 

staff immediately. We also have 

a club medical kit. 

Hospital admission, 

if needed from the Club location 

at Grand Sole Hotel, is just 

a few minutes distant, either at 

Memorial (Pattaya Central Rd) 

or PIH (Soi 4). 

Club TV Reports.

a generous segment on Pattaya

CARDIAC CATHETERIZATION 

Cardiac Catheterization 

is a diagnostic procedure 

that identifies narrow arteries or 

blockages that cause coronary 

heart disease. 

A doctor inserts a thin 

plastic tube (catheter) 

into an artery or vein 

in the arm or leg—usually 

in the groin. Contrast 

dye is injected 

into the coronary arteries 

to allow an x-ray 

camera to take images 

of the heart. The images 

are used to identify 

narrow areas in the 

blood vessels and 

blockages. 

This helps your doctor 

determine the best 

treatment plan for 

you. 

How is a Cardiac 

Catheterization Performed? 

Your procedure will 

take place in a room called a cath 

lab. You will be placed on an xray 

table with a large moveable 

camera above it. Video monitors 

are used by the doctors technicians 

to monitor your test. You 

may have an arm cuff attached 

to measure your blood pressure. 

An intravenous line (IV) will be 

inserted into a vein in your arm 

for delivery of medication during 

the procedure. 

A cardiologist, technologists, 

nurses and/or assistants 

will be present. The cath 

lab is a sterile environment, so 

the staff will wear gowns, 

gloves, and masks. 

A small incision is 

made in the site where the catheters 

are inserted (usually the 

groin). A guide-wire is inserted, 

then a sheath—a small plastic 

tube—is inserted over the guidewire. 

The sheath allows the cardiologist 

to insert and remove 

different catheters without additional 

incisions. 

After the catheter is 

inserted, it is guided into the 

heart. Contrast media (dye) is 

injected through the angiography 

catheter while x-ray images 

are taken. The dye causes areas 

where blood flows, including 

vessels and heart chambers, to 

temporarily become darker than 

the surrounding tissue. This enables 

the cardiologist to see how 

effectively your heart is pumping, 

and to determine if there are 

any narrowed blood vessels. As 

the dye is injected into the heart, 

you will be asked to cough forcefully 

so that the dye will move 

through the heart. 

Blood pressure measurements 

are also taken at this 

time. If you feel any pain or discomfort, 

inform the doctor or 

nurse. 

During a coronary angiogram, 

contract is injected into 

each coronary artery. The cardiologist 

reviews the images to 

detect areas of blockage or narrowed 

arteries to assess their 

severity. 

During a left ventriculogram, 

contrast is injected into 

the left ventricle of the heart to 

determine how well it is pumping 

blood. The contrast dye will 

identify a leaky valve or a hole 

in the heart. 

The entire procedure 

lasts 1 to 2 hours. 

Cardiac catheteriza- 

tion provides clear accurate images 

of your coronary arteries. 

Based on the results, your doctor 

may decide to proceed with 

an intervention procedure immediately 

afterward. These procedures 

include (balloon) 

angioplasty, a stent implant, or 

atherectomy. 

How to Prepare for 

your Cardiac Catheterization 

Do not eat or drink 

anything after midnight the day 

before your procedure. 

Make sure your doctor 

is aware of all medications 

you are currently taking—both 

prescription and over the 

counter. 

Make sure your doctor 

is aware if you have experienced 

allergic reactions to any 

medications. 

Pack a small bag if 

you are scheduled for an overnight 

hospital stay. 

Make arrangements 

for a friend or family member to 

drive you home. 

What To Expect 

You will remain 

awake during the procedure. You 

may receive medication to help 

you relax. 

As the dye is injected 

into the heart, you will be asked 

to cough forcefully so the dye 

will move through the heart. 

The procedure is not 

painful, although you may feel 

pressure as the catheters are inserted. 

You will not feel the catheters 

as they move through the 

blood vessels into the heart. 

You may experience a 

feeling of warmth throughout 

your body for a few seconds as 

the dye is injected. 

After your Catheterization 

You will be moved to 

a recovery area or a hospital 

room. You will lie flat in bed for 

4 to 8 hours. (If a vascular closure 

device has been used, you 

may begin moving earlier.) The 

IV is often left in place. 

Periodically, a nurse 

will check your pulse, blood 

pressure, and the catheter insertion 

site. If you notice bleeding 

or feel pain at the insertion site, 

you should notify the nurse immediately. 

You will be encouraged 

to drink liquids to help remove 

the dye from your body. 

Sometimes you will 

be allowed to go home on the 

day of the procedure; however, 

you may be required to stay in 

the hospital overnight. 

Back at Home 

Limit your activity 

for several days. 

Avoid vigorous 

physical exertion and strain 

(such as lifting heavy objects). 

Carefully follow 

your physician's instructions regarding 

medications you are to 

take. 

Leave the dressing in place until 

the next day or as instructed by 

your physician or nurse. He or 

she will also tell you how long 

to wait to bathe after returning 

home. 

Bruising or a small 

lump under the skin at the insertion 

site may occur, but should 

disappear within 3 to 4 weeks. 

To learn more about 

your particular risks, consult 

with your doctor.

SALA KAEW KU OPEN MUSEUM 

We are always 

pleased to bring places of interest 

to you and this notable 

Museum is ‘a must go see’ and 

worthwhile place to visit. 

Located in the North 

East of Thailand the museum 

nicknamed ‘the Playground of 

the Gods’ features many extravagant 

displays featuring 

much iconic of the Buddhist 

culture and beliefs. The Museum 

is located about 3 

kilometres from Nong Khai City 

along Nong Khai Ponpisai Highway, 

near the Thai-Laos border 

and the mighty Mekong River. 

There are many 

monuments and huge concrete 

statues steeped in the Buddhist 

and Hindu Faiths. One important 

section is the Wheel of Life, 

a circular multi-part group of 

sculptures representing the 

karmic cycle of birth and death. 

It culminates with a young man 

taking a step across the fence 

surrounding the entire installation 

to become a Buddha statue 

on the other side. 

This museum was 

created by a Buddhist Monk 

named Luang Poo Boon Lue 

Sureerat, and is a labour of love 

with the intention of passing on 

the history of his personal vision 

of Buddhism to everyone, 

which he started way back in 

1978. 

The Hindu link is 

clearly illustrated 

in the displays 

around the Museum, 

and the 

place had been developed 

with no 

formal plan with 

giant Nagas towering 

over the trees, 

a sight to scare and 

amaze anyone. 

Thai 

Buddhists visit 

the Museum as 

statues pertaining 

to their Birthdays 

are on display and 

considered to bring 

good luck to all 

who visit them. 

There is 

much to discover 

about this cultural 

attraction and we 

encourage everyone 

to go and enjoy 

a visit to the 

Sala Kaew Ku 

open Museum 

soon.

YOUR VISA QUESTIONS ANSWERED 

My name is Darren 

Mcgarry I am the managing director 

of the Key Visa Co Ltd, 

Jomtien, and central Pattaya. 

The purpose of my business is 

to help the client in all aspects 

of visa applications & to educate 

people who are wishing to 

reside in Thailand in the future. 

My team is highly trained in 

Thailand’s immigration law 

(BE2522) & work very closely 

with the Pattaya immigration 

department.We opened the Key 

Visa Company because we felt 

we could offer a specialized 

consultancy visa service for foreign 

nationals. I spent a lot of 

my time looking carefully at the 

area and peoples needs and doing 

due diligence before my 

commitment to become a “specialist” 

visa consultant. 

My team at Key Visa 

feels totally at home with the 

expats & foreign community 

and we endeavor to make every 

visa application a hassle free 

venture for our clients. We understand 

the problems clients 

face and we make every effort 

to support them until satisfaction 

is reached. 

We are the official immigration 

advisors for the 

Pattaya Expats Club and I offer 

a lot of my time giving free 

advice to newcomers & expats 

in Pattaya specializing on retirement 

and long stay visa applications. 

I am offering a weekly 

advice clinic in this newspaper 

and today I am focusing on the 

most common frequently asked 

questions by our clients. 

Q: I am over 50 years 

old and have dual nationality. I 

have a British passport and an 

Australian passport I want to 

apply for a retirement visa and 

I have a non immigrant visa in 

my Australian passport and my 

pension income for the appli- 

cation is from Australia. But at 

the airport by mistake I entered 

Thailand on my British passport 

and received only 30 days. 

Can I take both passports to 

the immigration office and ask 

them to transfer the stamps? 

A: In my previous 

experience the answer is no. If 

you need the retirement visa in 

your Australian passport and 

not the British then I would take 

a short vacation out of Thailand 

via the airport. Go out on 

the British and return on your 

Australian passport. I would 

not advise a one day visa run to 

Cambodia; you will get some 

very funny looks by the officers 

if you go out on one passport 

and then return on a different 

passport 5 minutes later. We 

have found that it is hard for 

them to grasp how somebody 

can have two passports from 

different countries. 

Q: I have a one year 

Thai driving license and I have 

been to the license office to apply 

for my five year license and 

they would not give it to me 

because I did not have a medical 

certificate. My friend did not 

require it, why me? 

A: This seems to be a 

grey area. We believe it goes off 

your age, but we are not certain. 

My advice is for the sake 

of a few hundred baht take a 

medical certificate with you 

when you apply. 

Q: I currently hold a 

retirement visa. I have been to 

the immigration office for my 

90 day report (tm47) and realized 

that I was one week late, 

and I was fined on the spot. Is 

this a new rule? 

A: This is not a new 

rule but has been enforced more 

strictly now the fine is 200 baht 

per day up to a maximum of 

5,000 baht. So my advise is 

put the 90 day report date on 

your calendar and possibly report 

two days before the due 

date. 

Q: I have my foreign 

child in Thailand with me and 

she has been enrolled into full 

time education and the immigration 

has converted her nonimmigrant 

visa into a one year 

visa for education purposes 

without much trouble. But 

myself, I am 45 years old, not 

working in Thailand and not 

married to a Thai national and 

my non-immigrant visa has 

nearly expired. Do I have any 

options? 

A: The answer is yes, 

because your foreign child is 

your dependant and the child is 

in full time education in Thailand 

you can “piggy back” on 

your child’s visa converting 

your current non-immigrant visa 

to match your child’s long stay 

visa. Please note that the immigration 

will ask you to show 

some kind of evidence of how 

you are supporting your child 

in Thailand if you are not currently 

working. Be it money in 

a Thai bank or a regular income 

from your own country. There 

is not a specific amount. It is at 

the discretion of the immigration 

office; so have your information 

to hand. 

Q: I have been re- 

cently stopped by the police 

whilst driving my motorbike and 

I have been fined because I did 

not have a copy of my passport 

on my person. Is this correct? 

A: Yes it is correct. 

Like most countries, Thailand 

law is that a foreigner should 

carry at least a copy of their 

passport showing the details 

page and your latest entry visa 

stamp and the white departure 

card that is placed in your passport 

when you enter Thailand. 

It can be for your own safety. 

Also I always advise having a 

copy of your passport because 

if the eventuality arose were 

you to lose your original passport 

it will save you a lot of 

heartache at your embassy 

when applying for a new passport. 

If you call in at one of my 

offices for a small fee we can 

produce a credit card sized laminated 

copy of your passport 

which you can carry with you 

at all times with ease. 

Please note the above 

statements are given as a guideline 

and any issuance of a visa 

or visa rule changes are at the 

discretion of the Thai Immigration 

Bureau and Thai consulates.

ISSUE 121 • SATURDAY 16 - 23 FEBRUARY 2008 

LESS YAK, YAK, MORE TAMBOON 

Aloha Pattaya 

People. No, I didn’t die! I have 

been too busy with my 

Tamboon, Walking the Walk. I 

have been honored to receive an 

Award from the Governor of 

Chonburi Province for my 

efforts in making a difference in 

the way of life for the Children 

and the Wildlife. I will also be 

speaking at schools throughout 

Jomtien and Pattaya, educating 

the children, so they can 

educate their parents. We all 

need to hear the cry of Mother 

Nature and we All have a 

responsibility to give back. 

Today is the first day. NOW is 

the only time there is. 

In regards to issue 

119: Dear K. Bamfield, so you 

have lived in Thailand for two 

years, WOW! And now you are 

the judge and jury on Thai 

customs and Thais trying their 

best to survive. 

Would you rather 

that they rip off your gold chain, 

so they can feed their children, 

or do you want them to do the 

best that they can with what 

they have to work with? Many 

had to quit school at the fourth 

grade to work in order to eat, so 

they can maybe, maybe not, 

make 20 baht in one 12 hour + 

day; listening to many of the 

farang, bad mouthing them. 

They do their best to smile at 

the next possible new tourist 

that might want to buy, or help. 

You come over here with all of 

your baht and try to change a 

way of life that you know 

ASSERTIONS 

Editor, A PS to my 

letter of 30th January! 

Having seen Jack 

Black’s letter ‘The Gloves are 

off’ (2nd February issue), all I 

said about Don Aleman also 

applies to Mr. Black. 

I have to say it is bad 

enough when yobs resort to 

blows after losing a battle of 

words, but is anything so sad 

as an old-age pensioner doing 

it? Real man!?! 

By Mr. Black making 

forceful assertions on a subject 

upon which he clearly had no 

knowledge (English tuition to 

Thais), he made a fool of himself 

and has shown with his nearly 

every word – and name tag – 

that in his twilight years he is 

still looking for his manhood. 

This is a common 

symptom of military service. 

If he thinks fighting 

will help him redeem the ‘face’ 

he lost (it won’t); 

I suggest he takes his 

“British idiots” jibe into a Brit 

bar on footy night. 

He and Don Aleman 

would actually improve their 

lives if they improved their 

social skills. 

As regards Tim 

Rooney’s request as to where 

he can buy my book ‘The 

Butterfly Circus’, this is 

available in D.K. Bookshop 

branches in Soi Post Office and 

Pattaya Klang (Beach Road 

end) as well as many book/ 

magazine stalls. 

Same applies to my 

book ‘Your Thai Condo Rights’, 

which appears to be putting the 

brakes on much condominium 

management abuse. 

Upcoming is 

‘Utopian Thailand: Fact & 

Fallacy’. 

Both truth and fiction 

have been demonstrated in the 

above exchanges. 

Tony Crossley. 

nothing about. If you harass 

any dog, you open the door for 

a problem. Teach your 8 year 

old what not to do! 

The dogs, the 

vendors, the way of life has been 

this way long, long before your 

two years, Have you ever been 

hungry? Have you ever been 

poor? What is wrong with 

crossing the road to bypass the 

dogs? A little more exercise 

never hurt anybody. Let the 83 

year old woman be. Let her 

enjoy doing God’s and Buddha’s 

wishes, taking care of (ALL) the 

children. 

And leave the 

restaurants alone, My Buddha! 

What do you do when you’re 

not bitching? Try Waster- 

Sizing! All you need to do is,

waste and get rid of both. Do 

some Tamboon and less Yak, 

Yak! Set some examples. 

Everyone, including yourself 

will be happy, 83 year old 

farang, many vendors, 

restaurant people, the children, 

the wildlife, Deputy Mayor. 

Get off the backs that made you 

want to live here. Get a life, a 

smile! Feed a hungry Thai or a 

dog; get a smile not a frown! 

Make friends. Life is too short!

SMOKING BAN 

Dear Editor, A friend 

of mine, an MD in England, told 

me that carbon monoxide is the 

most carcinogenic (Cancer producing 

agent) content of nicotine. 

If this is true then the 

“Ban” is misdirected. Air conditioning 

does provide an air filtering 

that no outdoor bar/restaurant 

can. 

Possibly the filter can 

even remove some of the carbon 

monoxide or, be equipped 

to do so. Outdoor establishments 

usually border a street or 

2 where non - pollution 

equipped vehicles (motorbikes, 

cars, trucks, busses) pass by, 

and sometimes park with mo- 

tors running. So, ban in effect, 

we have smokers plus vehicular 

pollution! I believe the medical 

and air conditioning professions 

should be consulted to see 

if there is another way to resolve 

this problem to 

everyone’s satisfaction. That 

being said, the reasoning that the 

ban will reduce smoking is 

charitably naive. Prohibition of 

anything has never worked - not 

with alcohol, drugs, prostitution 

etc. 

It has only raised the 

price, moved it to a new location 

or, in fact, increased the 

usage. 

D. Aleman.

SET OG SKET, På DE DANSKE RESTAURANTER 

OG BARER, I PATTAYA OG JOMTIEN 

Flemming vandt agurk på Ferdinand. 


Søren holdt sin 

fødselsdag i Pattaya, med en 

hyggelig aften blandt venner 

fra Kongens Bar, og endte 

på aftenens sidste timer på 

Rich Bar, hvor han sørgede 

for at vennerne ikke tørstede. 

Musikken sørgede for en 

fødselsdags sang, og her fra 

redaktionen sørger vi for at 

han ikke går hen glemslen. 

Tillykke til Søren. 

Ferdinand holdt 

sin årlige agurk turnering den 

10. februar, hvor 24 indædte 

agurk spillere dystede om 

ære og pokal. Finalen blev 

noget af en gyser, i det alle 

spillere overlevede adskillige 

spil, men til sidst skete det 

dog at den første spiller røg, 

og så gik det stærk. 

Kurt og Flemming 

sad til sidst, og spændingen 

galdt om Kurt kunne beholde 

sit mesterskab fra sidste år, 

men ak Flemming gik af med 

sejren, og fik pokalen overrakt 

at Freddy. Det var i øvrigt sejr 

i sidste øjeblik, da Flemming 

rejste hjem til Danmark dagen 

efter. Tillykke her fra 

redaktionen. 

Billard mellem 

Ferdinand og Badehotellet 

ramt af skandale. Ved forrige 

turnering erhvervede 

Ferdinand sig den 

eftertragtede billard pokal men 

en flot sejr, men da der skulle 

spilles i denne uge, blev 

pokalen stjålet aftenen 

forinden, under højst 

besynderlige forhold. Således 

lykkedes det tyvene at stjæle 

pokalen fra restauranten i Soi 

Buakhaow, på trods at 

restauranten var fyldt med 

gæster til agurk turnering. I 

følge tip vi har modtaget her 

på redaktionen, skulle 

ugerningen være foretaget 

under “Olsen Banden” 

lignende forhold, og blandt 

rekvisitterne til kuppet skulle 

have indgå en badebold, et 

Søren i højt fødselsdags humør. 

Billard pokal stålet fra Ferdinand. 

badehåndklæde, 4 nyåbnede 

pilsnere og en udboret knallert 

uden lys. Som det også står, i 

grundlæsestof for kriminal 

betjente og skarpsindige privat 

detektiver, så vender 

forbryderen altid tilbage til 

gerningsstedet, det skyldte 

måske at de 4 nyåbnede 

pilsnere ikke var drukket, men 

ikke desto mindre optrådte 

hovedmanden bag kuppet på 

slap line kort tid efter. Der 

måtte åbnes mange pilsnere 

bagefter, og forhandles i lang 

tid for ikke at myndighederne 

skulle tilkaldes, men til sidst 

blev der fundet en mindelig 

løsning. Selve turneringen 

dagen efter, var ikke værd at 

skrive om, begge hold var 

temmelig påvirket af 

forhandlingerne dagen 

forinden, men det lykkedes 

Badehotellet at tilegne sig 

pokalen på mere retlig vis, så 

endnu en hjemmebane sejr. 

Hvornår får vi den udebane 

sejr?; spørger redaktøren, vi 

vil se noget nyt! Umiddelbart 

efter dysten forsvandt pokalen 

endnu en gang, og sent om 

aftenen stod det stadigt i det 

uvisse, om hvor den var var 

blevet af. 

Der er mange 

arrangementer under 

opsejling så her er lige en lille 

kalender over kommende 

begivenheder: Ferdinand: 16/ 

2 Tag selv bord, 17/2 Billard 

turnering og 27/2 Banko, alle 

datoer er det kl 14 det sker. - 

Den Danske Kro: Ålegilde 

den 28/2 kl. 18, man skal 

tilmelde sig og betale senest 

den 25/2. – Scandianvian 

Shop og Restaurang: 

Sildebord med lune retter for 

200 Baht den 24/2 kl 18, der 

er begrænsede antal pladser, 

så her skal man også tilmelde 

sig og betale inden. 

Hvis andre skulle 

have arrangementer, ja så vil vi 

gerne høre fra jer. Redaktionen 

sluttes typiske torsdag 

formiddag til lørdagens avis, 

så kom med oplysningerne i 

god tid, så vi kan nå at omtale 

det inden og flere kan nå at 

være med. Ring til Nick på: 08 

9048 1564, så skal det nok 

komme med, og måske dækker 

vi også begivenheden med 

billeder og en artikel, som sagt 

før, pladsen her på siden er til 

for jer.

American Gangster 

“ A m e r i c a n 

Gangster” concerns Harlem 

drug kingpin Frank Lucas 

(Washington), who smuggled 

heroin in the body bags of U.S. 

soldiers slain in Vietnam. Brolin 

plays Det. Trupo, a crooked 

NYPD cop who piggybacks on 

the Lucas investigation 

conducted by Det. Ritchie 

Roberts (Crowe). 

Sweeney Todd: The Demon 

Barber of Fleet Street 

The story of 

“Sweeney Todd” is of a 

wrongfully imprisoned barber 

in Victorian England who sets 

out to seek revenge on the judge 

who imprisoned him. The plot 

is foreshadowed in the first lines 

of the opening number: “Attend 

the tale of Sweeney Todd./His 

skin was pale and his eye was 

odd./He shaved the faces of 

gentlemen/Who never thereafter 

were heard of again.” 

Chocolate 

Chocolate is a 

stunning action film and a debut 

of a young actress, Yanin

AND FITNESS 

Week 80 – Your 24 Hour Body Clock 

Depending onour inbuilt 

24-hour body clock, 

controlled by 20,000 cells at the 

base of our brain, our body 

knows when to work hardest 

and when to take a break, when 

to tolerate pain, and when a 

disease is most likely to hit. 

Chronobiology — 

the study of the ticking human 

clock. 

00.00 AT MID- 

NIGHT, while our minds 

areasleep, our bodies are busy 

absorbing the fat we have 

consumed during the day, our 

hair is growing and our cells are 

beginning their intricate repair 

processes. 

Midnight is the 

timewhen pregnant women are 

mostlikely to begin experiencing 

labour pains. At this hour, the 

body experiences a rush in 

progesterone — which is the 

hormone secreted by the ovary 

during the menstrual cycle and 

by the placenta during 

pregnancy to bring on labour. 

This is thought to be the body’s 

evolutionary way of making 

sure the mother’s partner is with 

her when her baby is bom. 

01.00 Anybody who 

has suffered from gout will tell 

you that the worst attacks often 

come around this time of night. 

This is because the 

concentration of uric acid — 

which builds up and crystallizes 

in joints and causes pain — 

peaks between midnight and 2 

a.m. 

02.00 LEVELS of 

the hormone vasopressin, 

which suppresses bladder 

activity, increase so you should 

not need to go to the loo in the 

middle of the night. 

03.00 ASTHMA 

sufferers are 300 times more 

likely to have a severe asthma 

attack now than at any other 

time. Adrenaline and antiinflammatory 

hormones are at 

their lowest between 3 a.m. and 

4 a.m., which causes-airways to 

narrow. Spasm - triggering 

compounds called leukotrienes 

are also at their highest. 

Some doctors 

recommend taking vitamin C 

and vitamin B before bedtime 

to help to support the adrenal 

glands and reduce the risk of 

getting an asthma attack during 

the night. 

04.00 YOU are 

most likely to die at this time in 

hospital, according to figures 

from the Harvard Medical 

School. The reason could be that 

blood pressure reaches a low 

during deep sleep. Sudden infant 

death syndrome is also most 

likely to occur at this time for 

the same reason. On a more 

positive note, more women give 

birth naturally between 4 a.m. 

and 6 a.m. than at any other 

time. 

05.00 GROWTH 

hormones are secreted 

.throughout the night to repair 

tissue and strengthen bones, so 

at this time the body does not 

want to be awake. Those 

working the night shift are at 

their least alert now because of 

the high levels of melatonin, 

which make us want to sleep. 

According to Dr 

Russell Foster, from Imperial 

College, London, if you’re 

driving a car or operating 

equipment, your performance 

would be worse than if you were 

drunk. 

It is no coincidence 

that many of the world’s major 

accidents — such as Chenobyl 

and Three Mile Island — 

happened at this time. 

06.00 0NE wanting to 

become pregnant should try to 

conceive now. You are most 

likely to conceive a few hours 

after ovulation. Which usually 

starts around midnight. 

Fortunately, this 

coincides with the time that our 

libidos are at their peaks. In the 

early morning, the male sex 

hormone testosterone, which is 

responsible for sex drive in both 

males and females, surges. 

Women are most likely to start 

menstruation at this time, 

07.00 YOUR joints 

and body feel stiff in the 

morning because antiinflammatory 

hormones are at 

their lowest level and your 

muscle temperature is low after 

a night of sleep. This is why 

sufferers of rheumatoid arthritis 

usually feel more pain in the 

early morning. 

It is also the time you 

are most likely to get a migraine 


DAVID 

PERSONAL TRAINER 

FROM ENGLAND 

08-9931-8061 

because of fluctuations of the 

“feel good” hormone serotonin. 

The trigger for an attack is a lack 

of this chemical, which occurs 

naturally in the brain. It is this 

chemical imbalance that makes 

the blood vessels constrict in 

the head, causing the eyes to 

widen and leading to extreme 

pain and sensitivity to light. 

08.00 AS YOUR 

body wakes up, blood pressure 

and temperature start to rise 

and there is a surge in the stress 

hormone cortisol. It is at this 

time that heart attacks, angina 

and sudden cardiac deaths are 

most common because the 

combination of cortisol and 

increase in heartbeat puts 

pressure on the heart. 

When you are 

sleeping, the average human 

heart beats about 60 times per 

minute. 

As soon as you get 

out of bed, it rises to between 

72 and 78 beats. According to 

American research, acute heart 

attacks are three times more 

common in the early morning 

than in the late evening. 

Research has also 

found that on a Monday 

morning you are 40 more likely 

to have a heart attack than at 

any other time — possibly of 

the higher levels of stress 

hormones in the morning, 

combined with a weekend 

excess of food and drink which 

will increase blood pressure. 

Your blood clots the most at this 

time, which also makes your 

risk of stroke highest at 8 a.m. 

09.00 YOUR digestive system 

is working at its peak now, so 

first thing in the morning is the 

best time to eat a big meal. 

Metabolism is most active in 

the morning, which means fats 

absorbed from foods are less 

likely to be deposited in the 

body than in the evening. 

If you need to have 

an injection, now is the time to 

have it because you are least 

likely to feel pain. The hormone 

adrenaline. which helps us to 

endure pain, peaks now. 

10.00 THIS is the 

best time to take an exam or 

interview because wakefulness 

peaks mid-moming so 

concentration, short-term 

memory and logical reasoning 

are at their best. 

The body’s glucose 

levels are also high, giving the 

brain and body good energy 

levels. 

11.00 YOUR 

immune system is at its most 

vulnerable now because the 

helper T lymphocytes of the 

immune system are at their least 

active during this time. T 

lymphocytes are the crucial 

white blood cells that move 

around the body fighting 

infection and disease, including 

cancer. 

12.00 THE risk of 

stroke due to clot formation and 

blood vessel blockage is at its 

highest because blood pressure 

peaks around midday. 

Strokes known as 

cerebral infarctions are 50 per 

cent more likely to strike 

between 6 a.m. and midday 

than at any other time. High 

blood pressure puts extra 

pressure on blood vessels that 

are already narrowed by fatty 

deposits — often caused by 

cholesterol — and can cause the 

vessel to rupture and bleed into 

the brain. 

13.00 YOUR 

urinary production is reaching 

a high point after a morning of 

liquid consumption, and your 

kidneys are working at 

maximum efficiency to wash 

out any toxins in the body. 

14.00 AS your body 

works to digest lunch, physical 

efficiency and energy drops — 

which is why most of us would 

like a siesta now. 

You are more likely 

to be in a road accident at this 

time, because the body slows 

down dramatically and 

concentration levels can dip. 

15.00 RESEARCH 

shows that toothaches are at 

their least painful in the late 

afternoon. 

It could be that 

endorphins that protect against 

pain reach a peak now. 

The skin is at its 

most porous mid-afternoon 

because your body is warm. 

With heat pores open, this is 

the most effective time to rub 

cream into your skin. 

16.00 A GOOD time 

to have an aerobic work-out. 

The body is at its strongest. 

most flexible and responsive 

now because it is warm and 

adrenaline levels are at a high. 

Adrenaline is 

pumping around your body, 

increasing your heart rate and 

dilating blood vessels and 

airways. Most Olympic 

records have been set at this 

time. Hair and nails grow 

quickest between 4 p.m. and 5 

p.m. and lung function is at its 

best. 

For asthmatics, lung 

function can change by up to 

50 per cent over the course of a 

day. 

17.00 YOU can give 

your firmest handshake as tests 

have shown grip strength is at 

its peak now. This could be 

because the little muscles in 

your fingers — the intrinsic 

hand muscles and finger flexors 

— are at their strongest after a 

day of constant use. 

18.00 AS the body 

begins to tire, muscle tone is 

lessening and heart rate and 

blood pressure are gradually 

reducing. 

By early evening, 

your stomach is producing more 

acid. The more food that is in 

the stomach, the more acid it 

produces. 

The acid build-up can 

sometimes be pushed up the 

esophagus, causing acid reflux. 

It can also aggravate any existing 

stomach ulcers. 

19.00 AS daylight 

fades, your body is starting to 

secrete melatonin to prepare for 

sleep. 

As the body relaxes, 

your 

sense of smell and taste are at 

their most acute — making it 

the ideal time for a delicious 

meal. 

20.00 LIVER 

enzymes increase now, meaning 

that they are best able to break 

down alcohol — so treat 

yourself to a drink. They 

decrease again by 10 p.m. 

21.00 YOU are most 

likely to suffer from pain as 

your pain threshold is at its 

lowest. This is because levels 

of pain-blocking endorphins are 

falling. 

22.00 YOUR 

immunity is at its optimum level 

because levels of interiukin 1, 

one of your body’s immune 

system regulators, increases at 

this time. 

23.00 YOUR 

sensitivity to allergies is at a 

peak. By 11.30 p.m., high 

melatonin levels make us feel 

ready to sleep. 

Ten minutes after we 

fall asleep, the heart rate slows 

and brain waves reduce. 

Twenty- five minutes later, we 

are in a deep sleep. 

PIONEERING 

researchers around the world 

believe that medicine should 

take into account what is 

happening to the body at 

specific times of the day. 

Drugs which have no 

effect at midday might be very 

potent 12 hours later. 

Similarly, drugs may 

have fewer side-effects if taken 

in the morning rather than at 

night. 

Chronotherapeutics 

is the branch of medicine 

researching the effect of treating 

patients at specific times of the 

day. 

According to Dr. 

Michael Smolensky at the 

Hermann Hospital in Houston, 

there are about 30 diseases 

which could be more effectively 

targeted if the treatment was 

carefully timed. 

Treating pancreatic 

cancer, for example, with certain 

drugs is most effective at 4 am 

because at this time the enzyme 

that protects healthy cells is at 

its highest, so higher doses can 

be given.

ANTS IN PANTS 

Golf from the Travellers Rest 

Saturday Prize Winners: David Thomas, Jack Robertson, Jean Murphy, Paddy Murphy, Amphan 

North, Tewin Lamthong, Marcell Martin, Greg Mason, Steve Carlton and Robert Lamond. 

This week’s headline 

will seem a little strange. 

However, all will be 

revealed in the Saturday report, 

so please read on. The top 

golfing honours of the week 

have to go to David Thomas for 

his top class performance at 

Emerald on Saturday the 9 th 

when he came home with a score 

of 38 of his six handicap to win 

the A flight. He hit thirteen 

greens in regulation for an 

excellent round of golf by any 

ones standards. Robert Lamond 

a twelve handicapper matched 

this score for second but lost 

out on the count back with only 

19 against David’s 20 on the 

back nine. Brendan Moore and 

Tewin Lamthong both came 

home with 39’s at Phoenix on 

Thursday. Thursday 7th and 

off to Pheonix we headed. Lakes 

and Ocean courses! This course 

is always accommodating. It 

was in excellent condition. Our 

numbers were very big but we 

still managed to get around 

before dark. This was a ladies 

day with Amphan North taking 

first place in A on countback 38 

from John Merritt. Third was 

Liam Keegan again on count 

back from Peter Ennis. Brendan 

Moore made it with top spot 

in B with 39 points. Second was 

David McFeelly five back on 

34 and Ray Allison third at 33. 

Tewin Lamthong is back 

on form after her break and 

topped C with 39. Fellow lady 

player Maureen Coy was 

second on 35 on count back. 

Third again a count back win 

for Alun Webber in his last 

outing before returning back to 

Wales from Jack Robertson who 

pulled the short straw on this 

occasion. 

Saturday 9 th and with a 

change of venue this week as 

we headed off to the Emerald. 

We had a very large 

entry which proves just how 

popular this course has become. 

This course may not be the 

longest around but is a true test 

of golf with its rolling fairways 

and sometimes if not always 

difficult lies. However, David 

Thomas mastered it on the day 

with a great 38. Robert Lamond 

was second with the same score. 

Third was Amphan North, just 

the one back on 37. Fourth was 

John Merritt on 34. 

The B flight had Tewin 

Lamthong at the top with 36. It 

was a count back 35 between 

Davis McFeely and Chaten 

Patel (who it is good to see back 

with us) for second and third 

spot. Greg Mason had fourth 

spot all to himself with 34. 

C flight and Jean Murphy (hc21) 

took this with a great 41 pointer. 

Second was Jack Robertson 

(hc22) on 36. Third was 

Marcell Martin (hc36) on 33. 

Fourth was Paula Byrne (hc30) 

on 32. Now it is back to an 

explanation for the headline this 

week. The members on the 

course at the fifteenth fairway 

at Emerald must have thought 

that one player had lost the plot 

when he started to strip off his 

shorts and underwear and jump 

about shouting in a wild dance. 

Caddies fortunately turned their 

heads as did a lady player in the 

group. The explanation was that 

an “ant” had gone where no ant 

should go and was biting and 

had to be forcefully removed. 

Fortunately caddies in the group 

had tiger balm with them and 


this was duly administered 

much to the relief of the player.

VALENTINE DAY RUN 

Valentine’s Day Hares at this week’s Run. 

Monday was the 

Valentine’s Day run for the 

Monday Hash. 

The A-site was at 

Bamroong’s Flying Club not too 

far from town. 

When we arrived, the 

hares asked us not to park on 

the softball pitch. Some of the 

regular hashers were already 

there and Dr. Pinky whom I 

haven’t seen in ages. The circle 

was called by our GM Spaghetti 

Head. 

He welcomed a virgin to 

the hash and then blessed some 

new shoes. Hares Miserable C 

and Hell Boy in to tell us about 

the run. The usual white paper 

and red checks, cattle, dogs etc! 

The run was an in town 

run through people’s back 

gardens, woods and some 

tapioca. 

According to the hares, 

there were 16 checks on the run 

but no FT’s, the front runners 

in after about 40 minutes. After 

one of Chicken Legs’ excellent 

hot dogs and a beer or two and 

darkness closing in, it was time 

for the GM to call the circle. 

First we had the raffle 

organized as usual by Seaman 

Swallow. 

This week Timmy 

Tight Pants spent 1200 Baht on 

raffle tickets, wins 3 prizes and 

a seat in the bucket. Amongst 

the other winners were 

Tadpole, Free Willy, Bam Bam, 

and Fuzzy Lure. 

Then we had two 

anniversaries, Cheap Norgy C 

with 50 runs, and Rottweiler on 

350 runs, well done! The 

returnees and leavers were 

invited in for a drink. This 

week, we had two birthdays on 

the hash, Dr. Dick who was 

born on Valentines Day and the 

lovely Ewok. 

We had one visitor Long 

John Silver, from New Zealand 

who was too cheap to buy 

himself or his virgin a T-shirt 

and had his down-down on the 

ice. Another visitor Daglocks 

had no shirt either and received 

the same treatment. 

On with the fun! Sir 

Airhead’s circle. He is wearing 

a home-made Valentines shirt 

with a pink heart on the front. 

He ices the hares. 

The A-site was good 

and so were the hash signs. 

Everyone liked the run except 

for Charlie Manson who said it 

was shit. 

The majority opinion 

prevailed however and it was 

judged to be a good run, well 

done hares! Charlie Manson gets 

hash permission to marry 

Charlie’s Bullet Hole. Arse 

Hopper is iced for leaving a 

banana skin in F Dog’s car. 

Charlie Manson then 

ices King YaoYao, Jello Butt, 

G.I Joe and Ice Cold Shot to 

show them his T-shirt with 

Bush and Hitler and the slogan 

“Same shit different asshole”. 

He then Ices Sir Frog 

and accuses him of dropping a 

water bottle on the trail and he 

gets hash trash. 

The GM ices all the 

English and then gives the circle 

to Daglocks who founded the 

Oxford Hash. 

Who then ices the GM 

to thank him for inviting him to 

the Run. 

Colonel Cornhole is 

iced for falling over on the trail. 

Charlie Manson gets the hash 

trash back from Sir Frog for 

dropping a cigarette butt in the 

circle. S.C.F ices Duck because 

he met him in Friendship 

Supermarket in the company of 

a large black lady with her Hair 

in beads. 

Then S.C.F and Redcoat 

sing “Underneath the Arches”. 

Blue Nose is iced along with his

YOU CAN’T HIDE THE TRUTH FROM US 43

JUST A SKIP AND A JUMP 

P.S.C. Golf from Tropical Bert’s Beach Bar 

Tuesday the 12th 

February: Phoenix (Stableford). 

This was always going 

to be a fine day, after all Phoenix 

is just a skip and a jump down 

the road. So after a little late 

start at Bert’s, we skipped 

down the road to Phoenix and 

booked in. Pretty painless 

actually, and after a quick 

change we were informed by 

Mike that the test would be 

Lakes and Ocean, who had 

invited us to play there. Always 

nice to be invited by a Member. 

Fine day out and as usual the 

Course was in great condition, 

suffice to say it was, as is usual. 

The weather was pretty 

overcast, and we constantly 

thought it was going to rain, but 

it never did. However, on the 

back nine we ran up against the 

groups ahead and the day 

became really slow. Still not to 

worry, we had a good chat and 

the time passed. 

After completion I sat 

in the restaurant and collected 

the cards. During this time I 

thought I would try the food to 

see if, in my opinion, it had

improved. Everywhere I go I 

try the ‘Chefs Salad’, it is a diet 

thing. Also one player had a 

‘Curry’. Sad to say my food 

was the worst ‘Chefs Salad’ I 

have had at any Course, and the 

‘Curry’ was classed as insipid 

at best. Sad because this is now 

a fine Course, but generally 

players avoid the restaurant if 

they can. 

Back at Bert’s it was 

time to see who had played well, 

and the ‘Phoenix Member’ was 

head and shoulders above the 

rest, despite not hitting a ball 

for three months because of a 

broken ankle. 

There is obviously 

some promise here. 

In the A Flight, 0 to 15, 

the winner was Kevin Dunne 

with 37 points on countback 

over Steve Hamstad in second 

with Jerry Kurtz in third with 

35 points. In the B Flight the 

winner was Mike Gerrard with 

a very fine 43 points. 

Mike would have been 

in the A Flight but for the flip 

of a coin, as at 16 handicap, with 

each Flight level in numbers, he 

could have gone either way! In 

second was Stan Dare with 37 

points with John Vincent in 

third with 35 points. 

Worth a mention was 

the near pin of Steve Hamstad; 

it rolled over the edge of the hole 

and finished less than 6 inches 

from the hole. 

Steve was shouting 

‘Get Out, Get Out’, I wonder 

why? T.T.F.N.

at the Dusit Thani Pattaya 

Polish tennis star Agnieszka Radwanska (right) with Jill Craybas 

The Dusit Thani 

Pattaya recently wrapped up its 

hosting of the 17 th Pattaya 

Women’s Open, in which Polish 

tennis star Agnieszka Radwanska 

emerged as the winner 

after defeating America’s Jill 

Craybas 6-2, 1-6, 7-6 (4). It 

was the second WTA title for 

the tennis sensation from 

Poland. 

Before the final match 

on Sunday, 10 th February, the 

hotel had been extending its full 

support to the tennis participants 

not only in the courts 

but also in the recrea-tional time 

of their stay at the 462-room 

hotel. 

Part of the activities 

organized for the tennis players 

was a boat trip to the nearby 

Coral Island to show them the 

sights and other attractions in 

Pattaya.

R4Q6: Q: Which actress 

starred in 24 Carry On films 

from 1959 to 1978? A: Joan 

Sims.Cheers disputed this 

answer and said it was Hattie 

Jacques. Accor-ding to Wikipedia 

Sims first appeared in 

Carry On Nurse in 1958 and she 

stayed with the films all the 

way though to the final film, 

Carry On Emmannuelle, having 

appeared in 24 Carry On films. 

As far as Jacques is concerned 

this is what Wikipedia says: 

However, it wasn’t until 1958, 

when she joined the Carry On 

team in Carry On Sergeant that 

her film career really took off. 

She appeared in fourteen films 

in the long-running series and 

became famous as the nononsense 

Matron in five of the 

films. Joan Sims is correct. 

R5Q2: Q: To the nearest whole 

number, how many pounds are 

in one metric tonne (± 4 

pounds)? A: 2205. Nom’s said 

it is generally accepted that one 

tonne equals 2200 pounds.I 

don’t know about that, but from 


Wikipedia: One tonne is 

equivalent to: 2204.622622 lb 

(to ten significant digits). Sorry, 

I can’t accept Nom’s answer. 

R5Q5: Q: From which metal is 

the ore pitchblende obtained? 

(Question is the wrong way 

round, should say, “Which 

metal is obtained from the ore 

pitchblende?”)A: Uranium. 

Cheers and Rising Sun appealed 

for Radium.From the Encyclopaedia 

Britanni-ca:Three 

chemical elements were first 

discovered in pitchblende: 

uranium by the German chemist 

Martin Klaproth in 1789, and 

polonium and radium by the 

French scientists Pierre and 

Marie Curie in 1898. As radium 

and polonium are metals both 

of these are acceptable.Two 

points to Cheers and Rising 

Sun. R7Q6: Q: What would 

one’s occupation be if using a 

rod called a punty or pontil? A: 

Glassblower.Helicopter 

complained the question was 

misleading as it mentioned a rod, 

not a tube.From Wikipedia:The 

molten glass is attached to a 

stainless steel or iron rod called 

a punty (or a punty rod, a 

pontil, or a mandrel) for shaping 

and transferring a hollow piece 

from the blowpipe for an 

opening to create from.So the 

punty is a rod, not a tube. Next 

week’s matches February 

24th:Helicopter vs. Cheers, OK 

Corral vs. Londoner, Palmers 

vs. Nom’s, Rising Sun solo 

(unless another team comes in). 

R1Q1 Q: Which British 

actress was the leading lady in 

then 1962 film “The Road to 

Hong Kong”. A: Joan Collins. 

Both Nervous Wreck and 

Boxing Roo said it was Dorothy 

Lamour. From the IMDb’s 

article on “The Road to Hong 

Kong”: Joan Collins was given 

the female lead in this final 

“Road” picture and Dorothy 

Lamour was given a small cameo 

appearance. No change. 

R1Q5Q: Which 

legendary TV and movie 

entertainer received the US 

Congressional Gold Medal in 

1962 and was made an 

Honorary Knight Commander 

of the British Empire in 1998? 

A: Bob Hope. Nervous Wreck 

complained that as Hope was 

born in England, he couldn’t 

receive an honorary knighthood. 

From Wikipedia: The following 

year [1998], Hope was given his 

greatest honor when he received 

an honorary knighthood 

‘Knight Commander of the 

Most Excellent Order of the 

British Empire’. Hope had 

become a US citizen in 1920, 

so presumably this is why the 

knighthood was honorary. 

R1Q6 Q: Name (1st and 

2nd) the 16-year-old star of the 

Nickelodeon series “Zoey 101” 

who announced in December 

2007 that she was pregnant. A: 

Jamie Lynn Spears. The “1st 

and 2nd” in the question, 

presumably meant that he full 

name was required, so I can’t 

accept “Spears” or an incorrect 

forename. So I can’t accept The 

Bunker’s “Lynn Spears”. I also 

cannot accept The Londoner’s 

“Leeanne Spears”, Shagwell’s 

“L. Spears” or The Derbyshire’s 

and The Rising Sun’s 

answers, who both put just the 

surname. Two points deducted 

from the latter 4 teams. 

R2Q6 Q: When travelling 

from Scotland direct to Belfast 

by National Express/Ulsterbus 

services, which ferry port is 

used? A: Stranraer. OK Corral 

appealed against this, even 

though they got the answer 

right! 

R2Q5 Q: How many times 

have Europe won the Ryder 

Cup in the last six tournaments. 

A: 5. OK Corral said it was only 

4 as they lost 1 and drew 1. 

According to Wikipedia Europe 

won in 1995 (14½ - 13½), 1997 

(14½ - 13½), 2002 (15½ - 12½), 

2004 (18½ - 9½) and 2006 (18½ 

- 9½). The only time the USA 

won was in 1999 (14½ - 13½), 

and the only two draws were in 

1969 and 1989. No change. 

R3Q7Q: The 24th Southeast 

Asian Games ended on 15 

Dec 2007 with hosts Thailand 

collecting how many gold 

medals? A: 183. The Londoner 

appealed for 184. Wikipedia 

confirms that they received 183. 

Sorry, Londoner, the question 

doesn’t allow any leeway. 

R4Q1 Q: Which band 

performed “The Stripper” on 

the soundtrack of the 1997 film 

“The Full Monty”? A: Joe Loss 

and His Orchestra. Boxing Roo 

appealed for Tom Jones (a 

band?). Details from IMDb are: 

“The Stripper” (1964) Written 

by David Rose Performed by 

Joe Loss & His Orchestra. No 

change. 

R5Q2 Q: The 16th and 

17th century term, farthingale, 

refers to what? A: Clothing - a 

woman’s skirt or petticoat or a 

support hoop. Boxing Roo 

appealed for “Dress”. As 

Clothing is acceptable, then 

Boxing Roo’s answer is 

acceptable too. Two points to 

them. 

R5Q6 Q: Used since the 

1930s, what is the modern 

feminine form of the name 

Peter? A: Peta. Rising Sun and 

Cheers both appealed for 

“Petra”. From the website 

2000-names.com: PETA: 

English feminine form of Peter, 

meaning rock; stone. PETRA: 

Latin feminine form of Peter, 

meaning rock; stone. I will 

accept both. Two points Rising 

Sun, Cheers, Bowling Green, 

Palmers, Bunker and Nervous 

Wreck. 

Next week’s matches 

February 20th:Bowling Green 

vs. Rising Sun, Boxing Roo vs. 

OK Corral, Bunker vs. 

Derbyshire, Cheers vs. Palmers, 

Londoner vs. Shagwell, 

Nervous Wreck vs. Nom’s. 


A HOLE IN ONE 

P.S.C. Golf From The Caddyshack 

Wednesday 6th February: 

This was a day that 

Bruce Tollitt will never forget 

as he got a hole in one on the 

difficult 16th hole at Green 

Valley. Bruce has waited 70 

years for this great achievement; 

the story is that his 

regular caddy for at least 8 years 

produced him with his 6 rescue 

wood.Bruce was not happy 

with this and told her to change 

it, she insisted that she was 

right and for the first time in 8 

A TOUGH TEST OF GOLF 

P.S.C. Golf from the Outback Golf Bar 

KHAO KHEOW: 

Wednesday 6 th February 

This course continues to 

be a tough test of golf with only 

Kathy Doody beating her 

handicap with a brilliant 41 

points. Mike Waltschek was the 

best of the guys, grinding out 

35. A warm welcome goes to 

Nick Collins & Paul Whitelock, 

both on holiday from UK, and 

played well for their 32 & 33 

points respectively, which is 

pretty much to handicap 

allowing for course and weather 

differentials. Don’t leave it so 

long next time Paul, before you 

come back! There were three 

divisions today, the results as 

years he stuck with her 

decision. Lo and behold Bruce 

hit the perfect shot and the ball 

went into the hole. As from now 

Bruce is going to listen to his 

caddy a little more.It was all 

good news for the Caddyshack 

as on this day we were also 

playing our Inter Bar Match 

Play League game against the 

Bunker. In a very close match 

the Caddyshack came out the 

eventual winners 5 1/2 to 4 1/2 

which puts them on top of the 

follows:- 

Div A (0 – 11) 

1 st Mike Waltschek (7) 35pts 

2 nd Nick Collins (11) 32pts 

3 rd Marty Allred (0) 32pts 

Div B (12 - 19) 

1 st Ian Covill (15) 33pts 

2 nd Paul Whitelock (13) 33pts 

3 rd Alan Bishop (18) 29pts 

Div C (20+) 

1 st Kathy Doody (21) 41pts 

2 nd John King (28) 31pts 

3 rd Peter Marsh (22) 30pts 

There were 4 TWOs 

today from Barry Chadbourn, 

Paul Whitelock, Kathy Doody 

& Frank Fawley.

Stableford competition on the 

day was run at Green Valley and 

in Division Two saw Bill Pirie 

Well, after the fiasco of 

2 weeks ago at this course, it’s 

pleasing to report that the 

Outbackers teed off on time and 

enjoyed the gently rolling 

fairways of Pattaya Country 

Club which had noticeably 

benefited from the recent local 

rains. That was until about the 

15 th /16 th hole when this 

tranquillity was broken by a 

vicious local storm of high 

winds, lashing horizontal rain 

and a temperature drop down 

to around 21 degrees. It lasted 

about 40 minutes during which 

time copious amounts of beer 

were consumed at the Amen 

corner drink stop. Back at the 

score 32 points for 3rd place 

with Terry Nixon on 33 points 

for 2nd place. The winner just 

one point better was Keith 

bar meantime, not a drop of rain! 

Where was I? Oh yes those 

Norfolk raiders, well the other 

one got us today, playing off of 

6, Dave Hewson shot a fabulous 

73 gross; and a tap in birdie 

two. Well played Dave! There 

were three divisions today, the 

results as follows:- 

Div A (0 – 13) 

1 st Dave Hewson (6) 41pts 

2 nd Bob Wighton (10) 36pts 

3 rd Bob Philp (8) 35pts

Div C (20+) 

1 st Ray Underwood (27) 31pts 

2 nd Terry Vicaly (26) 30pts 

3 rd Dennis Persson (20) 29pts 

There were 9 TWO’s 

today from:- Dave Hewson, 

Bob Martin, Mike Waltschek, 

Johnson with 34 points. 

Division One saw Dave Hester 


with Peter Wilson also scoring 

34 points but with the better 

back nine took 2nd place. 

Way ahead of the field 

was the Irish raider 

Emmett White with a very nice 

round scoring 39 points. There 

were a few birdie twos scored 

but as Bruce Tollitt got his hole 

in one he took the pot which 

eased the blow on his bar bill. 

Friday 8th February: 

Today was a visit to Eastern 

Star. The course has improved 

but is still not at its best. But in 

defence to the green keepers the 

Steve Morton, Bob Pearce, Ray 

Underwood, Ray Luttman, 

Kathy Doody & Nick Collins. 

Paul Whitelock, after flattering 

at Khao Kheow, was awarded 

the Outback Golf shirt for his

for now! If you have any

TAKE YOUR TIME AND SMELL THE ROSES 

P.S.C. Golf from Café Kronborg 

Carole Kubicki was B Flight winner at Bang Pakong. 

Thursday, 7th 

February: Bang 

Pakong (Stableford). 

This is one of the 

longest days out, mind it is also 

the longest day that no 

one appears to mind. Of course 

the peace and quiet of the walk 

around has a lot to do with it. 

The day started as 

normal with a meet at the Cafe 

Kronborg, then into the busses 

for the long haul to the Course. 

This is a long drive, but 

lately the roads have been much 

improved and now it is nearly 

all motorway. 

A good drive indeed! 

Usually at the Course, we have 

a long wait on the first tee, 

usually at least 30 minutes late; 

but on this day we were only 

10 minutes or so late. This was 

made up for, with having to wait 

for every shot and a round of 

well over 5 hours. This is a 

Course that you can take your 

time and smell the roses. At 

every tee there is a nice place to 

sit, and it is so open that all 

enjoy the walk. Time seems to 

pass quickly. 

Much later in the 

restaurant it was seen that the 

scores were very good. In the A 

Flight, 0 to 19, the winner was 

Patrick Poussier with 39 points 

ahead of a countback for second

Monday, 11th February: 

Plutaluang (Stableford). 

The Plutaluang South 

and East Nines were the venue 

for a Stableford Competition in 

Two Flights. A Flight 0 to 18 

and B Flight 19 up. 

The weather on the day 

was drizzle at the start and 

‘Sauna’ condi-tions on the last 

8 holes. The Course on the day 

was in tidy condition and busy, 

but we had no holdups. Doug 

A Flight winner Patrick Poussier at Bang Pakong. 

Good won the A Flight with 35 

points on a countback over 

Richard Kubic-ki in second. 

Bruce Lawrence was in third 

with 34 points with Maurice 

Herberge in fourth with 33 

points. 

Dane, Leif Kirkegaarde 

won the B Flight, doubling his 

handicap of 24, with 48 points. 

We do not get a player with this 

many points very often, so well 

done to him and welcome to 

being a much lower handicapper. 

Svend Gaard was in 

second with 35 points with 

Graham Buckingham in third 

with 34 points and Hugh

ISSUE 121 • SATURDAY 16 - 23 FEBRUARY 2008 WE ARE THE “WATCHDOG” OF PATTAYA 49

BRINGING HOME THE BACON 

P.S.C. Golf from The Three Sisters 

The second month and 

the second week of the year! It 

was a great day for golf. 

The turnout was good 

50 

and so were the scores. 

Bringing home the 

Bacon for the day was none 

other than Mr. Ed Bacon. 

WE DARE WHEN OTHERS KEEP SILENT 

Ed and friend Phil Taylor 

are joining the group for the first 

time. 

Both are good golfers but 

First time winner Ed Bacon (left) and Bob Benda who came in 2nd at Pattaya Country Club. 

Ed ended up a bit better for the 

day. 

Playing off a 5 

handicap, Ed came in with 40 

points to win the day. 

He had three birdies on 

the back nine and shot 34 off 

the stick! 

Great golf! It was a treat 

for Fast Eddie who played 

along with them. 

Coming in second with 

38 points was slick shooting 

Bob Benda. On the course he is 

always one or two shots back 

of you, but at the end of the 

day he manages to be one or two 

shots ahead of you. Funny the 

way things happen. 

In third spot with 36 

points was Sus Ige. He was tied 

with Herb Ishinaga but had a 

better back nine. 

Herb started out like a 

house on fire but couldn’t quite 

keep it up on the back nine. With 

his back problems slowly 

fading, Herb figures that he will 

be in the winner’s circle shortly.

LUCE GOUTELLE 

Asian University: Visiting Artist Series 

62 

French artist Luce explains her work to the students. 

On 14 February, Luce 

Goutelle, a French artist, visited 

the Asian University to 

demonstrate some of her work, 

to meet the students and talk 

with them about her work, and 

theirs. 

Luce graduated and was 

awarded a Visual Art Diploma, 

with Honours, from the Ecole 

Superior d’Art de Grenoble in 

2007. She has been in Thailand 

for six months on an art 

scholarship and an internship 

with Tang Fu Kuen fine arts. 

Multimedia lecturer, 

Will, introduced Luce to the 

audience of University and 

College students, and their 

teachers. Luce then spoke about 

her work, with plenty of 

illustrations, and was also very 

open when answering 

questions. 

She explained how she 

collects information, in the way 

you would collect ingredients 

to prepare a meal. Then she 

studies and digests the 

information, before starting on 

the creation process. She gave 

more details about three recent 

projects: “Essai 1” a performance 

mixing art, movement and 

dance, using rugby players as 

her models. 

The second project was 

“Dog racing”, and the final 

exhibition included photos and 

drawings of the dogs as well as 

the jackets worn by the dogs to 

identify them during the races. 

The last project was “Pollution 

Masks” which she undertook in 

Bangkok. This included a 

collection of masks, crocheted 

by Luce many in irregular and 

original patterns and styles. 

Luce explained how in each case 

she had started knowing 

nothing about the subjects 

(rugby, dog racing and crochet) 

and had learnt about them as 

she went along. She learnt to 

crochet in Bangkok when she 

bought her first yarn and hook. 

Luce showed examples 

of some of her other work before 

Will thanked her for sharing her 

work and stories with everyone. 


Thanks to Ajarn Robert for the 

photos of Luce. 

The next Visiting Artist 

series will be later in February 

when a Filipino film specialist 

will come to Asian university.
