THAMMASAT UNIVERSITY’S PATTAYA
CAMPUS REVEALS PLANS TO SUPPORT THE EEC
The Pattaya Campus
of Thammasat University
has unveiled plans to
fully streamline its offerings
to be beneficial for
the future of the Eastern
Economic Corridor
(EEC)
One important aspect
is the targeting of training
courses with specific
industries in mind. Four
year engineering and
other courses at the
Pattaya campus will
now be shortened to
two years of hands-on
activity with an additional
year to be taken at an
internationally recognized
partner university.
A further term will be
offered as an internship
with local businesses.
In particular focus are
courses that pertain to
future automobile and
engine manufacturing.
Another aim is to
arm students with community
skills, hospitality
skills and language
skills so that they can be
ready to work in companies
that have set up in
the EEC.
Assoc. Prof. Pornchai
Tarkulwaranont, Vice
Rector for Administration
at Thammasat University,
was quoted as saying,
“Thammasat University’s
Liberal Arts Faculty is
expert in North East Asia
languages, including:
Chinese, Japanese, and
Korean. The university
will develop teaching of
these languages to the
next level. The languages
will be taught in support
of the development
of human resources in
preparation for the future
growth of the EEC. Thus,
the programrecognizes
that languages are vital
tools for communication
within industry as well as
for management and administration.”
Thammasat University
will also look to increase
its partnerships with international
universities
so that the plans can be
coordinated effectively.
Instrumental to thelong-term
goals, the
university will create a
unique operations complex
that will encompass
an engineering research
center within the Pattaya
campus.
With Thammasat University’s
students eventually
becoming a major
contributor to the work
force in the EEC, the
combined aim is to provide
balanced support to
the industrial sector without
neglecting environmental,
health and other
issues.
Courses on offer will
include science and
technology, nature and
conservation, social science
and humanities,
and health science, all
of which will combine
to benefit society as a
whole in the long run.
Assoc. Prof. Pornchai
Tarkulwaranont was
also quoted as saying,
“Nowadays, educational
institutes have a major
concern in how to incorporate
knowledge and
develop human resources
in accordance with
the Eastern Economic
Corridor Policy. In so
doing, we will promote
The Eastern Seaboard
Development Program’s
success. It will be a good
example of developing
academic infrastructure
and land together
with knowledge to promote
industrial growth.
Thammasat University
is all set to enhance the
delivery of education to
a higher level, including
conducting research and
innovating. Thus, Thammasat
students will learn
by practicing how to efficiently
and effectively
solve problems.”

ROBINSON IN
EXPANSION
MODE
The company that owns the
Robinson department stores,
Central Retail Corporation, has
announced that it is expanding
its store footprint, with an eye
especially on the Eastern Economic
Corridor (EEC). The SET
Listed company is not too concerned
by current issues including
the Covid situation and is on
schedule to open a new store
in Chonburi. It is taking a longterm
approach to its expansion
plans.
The President of Central
Retail Corporation, Wuttikiat
Techamongklapiwat, was quoted
as saying, "While the retail
market is faced with many difficulties,
be they the economic
slowdown, widespread drought,
PM2.5 dust or the coronavirus
pandemic, we are committed to
investing over the next 20-30
years.”
The new branch will be set
into the 35,000 square meter
shopping center at Bowin Industrial
Park. It will be the 51st
branch of Robinson in Thailand
and the fourth in Chonburi province
alongside three existing
branches, which are set in Central
Plaza Chonburi, Pacific Park
Shopping Centre Sri Racha and
Amata Nakorn Industrial estate
Wuttikiat Techamongklapiwat
was also quoted as saying,
"We started opening department
stores in the East over the past
20 years and have a total of
eight stores there. We have never
seen any disappointment with
the performance in this region,”
adding, "There is still growth
potential in eastern Thailand
because the ratio of people and
retail space available in this region
remains relatively low compared
with other regions.
The soon to be opened Robinson
lifestyle branch at Bowin
is quite a large affair, and will be
instrumental in increasing Robinson's
retail space to 114,100
square meters in the eastern region,
a rise of over 40 per cent.
Yet sales in the area are robust
and so the additional floor
space will be considered a good
investment. This is in part due
to the fact that per capita income
in the region is high because
of the large number of
industrial parks in the area. The
Bowin area itself is home to
no less than 8 major industrial
complexes.
Wuttikiat Techamongklapiwat
was further quoted as saying,
"For Chon Buri, which is an
integral part of the government's
flagship Eastern Economic Corridor,
we've seen healthy sales
in our branches there, trailing
only the branches in Greater
Bangkok."
Although there was a drop
of up to 20 per cent in sales in
some Bangkok stores due to
the Coronavirus, other stores in
provinces such as Trang, Kanchanaburi
and Suphan Buri actually
saw sales rise.
The Bowin area is home to
around 180,000 people and so
demand is likely to be strong in
a place where there is less competition.

AROUND THE ASIAN REGION
JAPANESE AMUSEMENT
PARKS PREPARE TO
REOPEN
With a fall in new coronavirus
cases in Japan, funfairs and amusement
parks are getting ready to reopen.
However there are plenty of
caveats for patrons to be aware
of.
One of the most curious is to
avoid screaming on roller coasters
as this may increase the likelihood
of droplets in the air. Of course this
is quite a difficult thing to ask of
thrill-seekers, since screaming on
roller coasters is usually completely
involuntary.
As well, ghostly figures in haunted
houses will need to keep their
distance under new guidelines so
as to adhere to social distancing,
and queues for rides will also need
to be carefully controlled to ensure
there is plenty of space between
each person.
Staff that may be dressed up as
cartoon characters or super heroes
will need to ensure they don’t attract
a crowd, and photo opportunities
will be without close contact.
Still, there are plenty of customers
who are happy to put up with
the new norm, and park operators
in Japan are expecting a surge of
patrons eager to take advantage of
the new openings and of course the
summer weather.
MORE PROTESTS IN HONG
KONG OVER NEW LAWS
Hong Kong is bracing for more
new protests as new national security
laws are being passed that give
greater control to the mainland.
Many see this as reducing the citystate’s
freedoms, which were guaranteed
at the time of the handover
in 1997.
As a result of the new legislation,
The U.S. took steps to revoke
Hong Kong’s special status. The
tensions come at a time when the
U.S. and China are at odds over
various other matters including the
origins of the coronavirus, claims
over islands in the South China sea
and U.S. stock market restrictions
to Chinese firms.
Yet in a recent news conference,
President Trump stopped short of
announcing either new sanctions or
any modifications to the phase one
trade deal that was struck late last
year.
NISSAN REPORTS
LARGEST LOSS IN TWO
DECADES
Japanese automaker Nissan
Motor Company posted a 671 billion
yen or 6.2 billion U.S. dollar
loss for the most recent fiscal year.
It was the company’s first loss in a
decade, and its biggest loss in the
last 20 years.
As a result, Nissan plans to reduce
its output by 20 percent over
the next four years and to reduce
fixed expenses by around 300 billion
Yen. It will cut the number of
models it produces from 69 to 55, in
order to consolidate its manufacturing
footprint.
Naoki Fujiwara, chief fund manager
at Shinkin Asset Management
Co., was quoted as saying, “The
numbers might leave a negative impression,
but they are taking drastic
steps and that’s worth noting,”
adding, “In the post-corona era, you
won’t be able to survive unless you
improve your efficiency.”
On a positive note, Nissan’s China
sales grew a modest 1.1 per cent
in April as the country became one
of the first to shrug off the pandemic.
Chief executive officer, Makoto
Uchida, was quoted as saying, “I will
do everything I can to return Nissan
to a growth path.”
JUST THE STATISTICS
While bar charts, line graphs
and simple numbers are hardly
capable of providing the defining
answer to many economic, social
and political questions, they are
certainly a good way of obtaining a
general overview of any particular
subject.
Each month the Business Supplement
will look into a brace of
statistical information and provide
readers with what we consider to
be the central elements of these
figures.
PANDEMIC
PREPAREDNESS
How well or otherwise a
country is prepared for a
pandemic like Covid-19 is
rated by an index that has
been prepared by the John
Hopkins Bloomberg School
of Public Health in the USA.
You may have heard of the
John Hopkins center as it
has been instrumental in
counting Covid cases in the
United States as well as
other countries.
Its GHS Index scores
195 countries based on
their pandemic preparedness
which includes aspects
such health security
capabilities and response
to infectious diseases.
A score from 0 to 100 is
prepared using these metrics.
The USA scored top
worldwide with a rating of
83.5. The UK was in second
place with 77.9, although it
was evident that the NHS
was potentially under stress
at the peak, but much less
so than other countries.
The Netherlands, Australia
and Canada took 3rd 4th
and 5th places with scores
of 75.6, 75.5 and 75.3 respectively.
Thailand did very well
and came in at 6th place
worldwide with a score of
73.2, the only Asian country
to score in the top ten. This
compares well with Malaysia
in 18th place worldwide,
Japan in 21st place and
Singapore in 24th position.
China was in 51st place with
a score 48.2, but even this
was above the average for
all countries which stood at
40.2.
Worryingly, even amongst
all of the high-income countries
the average score was
only 51.9, suggesting a lot
more needs to be done in
the future to prepare for
what can be such a sudden
onslaught.
ASIAN STOCK
MARKETS
TUMBLED DURING
THE COVID CRISIS.
Asia was not spared the stock
market declines that were seen in
the US and the rest of the world in
February and March due to the onset
of the Covid crisis.
The Philippines was the worst hit
in the region with a 40.84 per cent
decline from Jan 1st to March 19th
2020. Indonesia was the second
worst hit with a decline of 35 per cent
over the same period. Thailand took
third place in Asia with a decline of
34.15 per cent.
South Korea’s Kospi stock market
shed 33.67 per cent whilst India’s
Sensex slid 31.46 per cent. Japan,
Singapore and Malaysia were not
far behind with declines of 30.03 per
cent, 28.21 per cent and 25.53 per
cent respectively.
Whilst many markets have
bounced back somewhat, it will be
interesting to see how sustainable
any comeback may be, with the economic
effects of the crisis likely to be
anything but short-lived.

“Bits n Bytes”
STEVE DICKENS
The piece is just wide
enough that it can also cover
the gaps between the middle
seat and the window and aisle
seats. This way, if a person
sitting behind you coughs,
you don't have to worry as
much.
Flying during the middle of
a pandemic probably isn't a
great idea. But eventually, as
they lift stay-at-home restrictions
and the world returns to
somewhat normal travel patterns,
there must be a way to
facilitate airline passengers.
Leaving the middle seat
empty seems to be a good option,
and a typical 737-700,
for instance, could still hold
99 passengers if the middle
seats are eliminated (or at
least kept empty).
French aeronautical engineer
Florian Barjot has run
with that idea, coming up with
"PlanBay," which sacrifices
the middle seat for a pane of
plexiglas. Since there's only
about 3.5 feet of space from
the window seat to the middle
aisles on most commercial
aircraft, this addition could
make social distancing much
more likely.
"Modern aircrafts have efficient
air systems that prevent
the contagion from one
person to the entire passenger
population, but the
health authorities recommend
one-meter distancing, which
is hardly achievable in economy
class, even with an empty
middle seat," Barjot writes on
the PlanBay website. "In order
to improve the distancing,
I imagined this removable kit
for an unused seat, that can
be used temporarily for the
time of an epidemic outbreak
and the recovery phase."
Barjot's concept just may
work, because it doesn't seek
to rehaul the entire interior of
a jet—instead, it proposes a
removable, temporary solution.
Barjot also claims the
device doesn't cost much,
which is ideal for the airline
industry, as it's currently under
massive financial strain.
To start, because the rows
of seats on an airplane aren't
six feet apart—to which
anyone with long legs can attest—PlayBay
uses a plastic
panel above each row to extend
the height of the seats.
The panel extends down the
backside of the middle seat
and is strapped into place so
it hugs the upright tray.
From the front angle, a
plastic partition runs right
down the middle of the center
seat to separate the person
sitting in the window seat
from the person in the aisle
seat. This is optimal because
otherwise, to keep people six
feet apart, it would be necessary
to remove some components.
In another design,
for example, some seats are
rear-facing to create more
space. In Barjot's version,
there's no need for that.
While Barjot has applied
for a patent, it's still not clear
whether his idea will soar. In a
statement on post-COVID-19
air travel, the International
Air Transport Association
(IATA)—the industry's trade
association—directly heeds
against such designs.
The IATA "supports the
wearing of face coverings for
passengers and masks for
crew while on board aircraft
as a critical part of a layered
approach to biosecurity to
be implemented temporarily
when people return to traveling
by air," according to
the statement, but "does not
support mandating social distancing
measures that would
leave 'middle seats' empty."
Part of the concern is that
leaving middle seats empty—
in turn, decimating at least
one-third of potential profit—will
jack up the price of
a ticket. That's not a risk the
IATA wants airlines to take in
the midst of a financial crisis,
where travelers are already
weary.
One thing is for sure
though/ Flying will never be
the same again!

FOREIGN CURRENCY UPDATE
The U.S. Dollar has maintained
its status as a safe haven
currency even in spite of the
fact that U.S. interest rates have
dropped to zero and unlimited
QE is the order of the day. The
DXY Dollar index, an index that
measures the U.S. Dollar’s value
against a basket of major currencies,
rose from 99.0 to 100.5 before
settling at 98.9. Levels that
remain around the 100 mark indicate
strength. Against the Thai
Baht the rate fell from 32.51 to
31.84 indicating that the Thai
Baht itself has strengthened over
the last month by around two per
cent. This could be in part due
to the low number of new corona
cases in the Kingdom that may
bode well for future economic activity.
The British Pound dropped
from 1.2596 all the way down
to 1.2107 against the U.S. Dollar,
before recovering slightly to
1.2268. A weak UK economy is
expected due to the arguably late
response to the Corona outbreak
and this may have weighed on
the pound. Also, something that
is all too easy to forget, is that
the menace of Brexit uncertainty
still hangs over the currency.
Negotiations regarding the end
of the 11-month transition period
(due at the end of Dec 2020)
have stalled with no real progress
being made on significant
matters. At the same time the
UK side is adamant that it will
not extend the date even though
a great deal of time may have
been lost to the Covid outbreak.
The 1.2500 level against the U.S.
Dollar will be a key gauge
of the outlook for the Pound
going forward. Against the Thai
baht the Pound also fell in a
constant fashion from 40.91 to
38.80 before recovering slightly
to 39.23
The Japanese Yen has not
had a look in as regards its traditional
status as a safe haven
currency with the U.S. Dollar
taking the crown for the time
being. The U.S. Dollar vs. Japanese
Yen cross rate moved from
106.40 to 107.71, indicating that
the Yen weakened by just over 1
per cent.
The JPYTHB cross rate fell
quite dramatically from 0.3033
to 0.2932 as a result of the Yen’s
weakness combined with Thai
Baht strength.
The Russian Ruble strengthened
from 74.33 to 70.92 against
the US Dollar, capping another
fairly volatile month. Once again
the more than 5 per cent move
was mainly with the Ruble rather
than the Dollar. Against the Thai
Baht the Ruble strength was evident
as it moved from 0.440 to
0.450.
The Euro / U.S. Dollar exchange
rate was choppy, moving
from 1.1010 to 1.0783 before
returning to the 1.1000 handle
again. Currency traders are undoubtedly
watching out for news
of ECB and other European stimulus
packages. Against the Thai
Baht, the rate fell from 35.73 to
35.02, a move of nearly two per
cent.

THAI AIR ASIA MIGHT
MERGE WITH OTHER
LOW COST AIRLINES
Under pressure from the unprecedented
fallout of Covid-19 and the travel restrictions
thereafter, Thai Air Asia (TAA) has suggested
that it will consider a merger with other low
cost airlines to ensure its survival.
Tassapon Bijleveld, executive chairman
of SET-listed Asia Aviation Plc., the owner
of Thai Air Asia, was quoted as saying, "TAA
is burning about 1.2 billion baht per month
during the lockdown when the 60-aircraft
fleet of TAA is left stranded at airports.”
A merger would help to ensure more robust
pricing whilst load factors are low and
whilst a slow recovery in international and
domestic travel takes place.
Mr. Tassapon was also quoted as saying,
"A merger is possible if aviation in Thailand
resumes with the same old fiery price wars,
as now we have more limited revenue sources."
Airlines across the world are caught between
offering low prices to encourage wary
travelers to fly, and higher prices to offset
lower seat sales on each flight.
Whilst a furlough may be extended for
many of TAA’s staff, the airline is currently
trying everything possible to avoid laying off
employees so that it can be in a good position
when there is a comeback in the travel
market.
Mr. Tassapon was further quoted as saying,
"If TAA can fly from 20 to 60 jets by the
BUSINESS SUPPLEMENT
THAILAND BUSINESS NEWS
second half of this year, we can survive 2020
as other cost reductions have been implemented,
and we expect a better performance
after the second quarter.”
BUSINESS
REGISTRATIONS
DECLINE IN APRIL
New business registrations dropped in
number during April, down 33 per cent year
on year. This came after an already weak
March number where registrations fell by 12
per cent.
A total of 3,996 new businesses were
registered in April, compared with 5,944 in
March. On the flip side, only 817 businesses
ceased trading in April. Restaurants, real estate
companies and construction companies
were the three main categories where business
closures emerged.
It is expected that new business registrations
will normalize in the second half of
2020. In the meantime potential new business
owners are waiting to see how the
Covid situation unfolds, whilst existing business
owners are also lying low and waiting
for the storm to pass.
SHOPPING MALLS
EXPECTED TO EXTEND
THEIR OPENING HOURS
Shopping malls could soon be open later
under the easing of restrictions that are
being mulled. Currently shopping malls close
at 8pm, but this is quite restrictive on restaurants
and other eateries. The plan is to extend
opening hours to 9pm.
This is possible by the reduction in the
curfew time with the start of curfews now
moving from 10pm to 11pm.
Thailand has been quite successful in
containing the outbreak as compared to, for
example, many European countries, with
new cases in the single digits or even down
to zero on some days.
Thus it seems timely to reduce restrictions
with the cautious approach still likely
required to safeguard the success already
achieved.

DOW LAUNCHES ITS FIRST POST-CONSUMER RECYCLED
PLASTIC RESIN IN ASIA PACIFIC AND THAILAND
Dow (NYSE: DOW) recently
developed and commercialized
a new formulated
post-consumer recycled
(PCR) plastic resin designed
for collation shrink film applications
in Asia Pacific including
Thailand.
The new resin is designed
with 40 percent PCR content
which creates a film
with performance comparable
to those made with virgin
resins. The product, XUS
60921.01, can provide us
17% CO2 reduction and 30%
energy savings (estimated
numbers depending on factors).
The new formulated
PCR resin is going to help
converters, brand owners
and retailers meet their sustainability
goals, while also
giving a new end-of-life to
plastics that otherwise would
have become waste.
“This new resin is helping
to make a circular economy
for plastics a reality, all without
compromising on the performance
that brand owners
and consumers require,” said
Bambang Candra, Asia Pacific
commercial vice president,
Asia Pacific commercial vice
president, Dow. “As a material
science company, we
have the responsibility to
bring these products to market
to prevent plastics from
becoming waste in the environment.”
The growing demand for
e-commerce will require
durable, efficient packaging
that can protect products
throughout their supply
chains while producing minimal
waste for consumers.
Dow’s new formulated PCR
resin can provide brands
and consumers with comparable
performance to collation
shrink film made with virgin
resins to ensure products
are delivered safely while
also reducing the amount of
plastic waste ending up in
our environment.
The resin is designed to
be used as 100 percent of
the core layer of collation
shrink applications and will
enable the development of
film with 13 – 24 percent recycled
content.
“Developing new end markets
for plastic waste will
help incentivize collection
and recycling, enabling more
recycled products to be developed
while reducing the
amount of plastics entering
our environment,” said Suny
Markose, Asia Pacific commercial
recycling director for
Dow.
The new offering is part of
Dow’s comprehensive strategy
to develop a circular economy
for plastics by focusing
on integrating recycled content
into product offerings.

VOLVO CAR THAILAND OFFERS
"CUSTOMER LIFETIME PARTS WARRANTY"
Volvo Car (Thailand) has now
introduced the "Customer Lifetime
Parts Warranty" benefits, which
extends the period of Volvo Genuine
Parts Warranty from 1 year to
the entire duration of the vehicle
ownership by the customer. Every
customer who brings their Volvo
car in for service, maintenance,
installation, or replacement of
genuine parts at any authorized
Volvo Service Center in Thailand
from 18 May 2020 onwards will
receive this privilege immediately.
(Terms and conditions apply).
As a renowned luxury Swedish
car brand, Volvo has introduced
an unprecedented benefit in the
Thailand automobile industry with
the introduction of the longest
available warranty for spare parts
at all authorized Volvo Service
Centers by extending the parts
warranty period from 1 year to
the entire period of car ownership
with unlimited mileage for parts.
This lifetime parts warranty applies
to all Volvo Genuine Parts
for all Volvo cars when an owner
brings their car into authorized
Volvo Service Centers for maintenance
and replacement parts.
So, for the entire period a customer
owns their Volvo they can rest
assured that in the future, should
there be any damage due to production
errors or abnormalities in
the material of that part a Volvo
Service Center will provide free
replacement parts, this includes
the cost of that spare part, labor,
and software related to that spare
part. (Terms and conditions apply).
Mr. Thanomsak Santanaprasit,
Customer Service Director of
Volvo Car (Thailand) Ltd., said
“Volvo is a leading Swedish car
brand that has always been focused
on meeting the needs of all
our consumers through advanced
automotive design and uncompromised
levels of service. Our
innovative driving technology and
excellent safety systems provide
confidence and peace of mind for
all Volvo vehicle owners. Our after-sales
services and many other
benefits, including our Volvo
Retail Experience (VRE) concept
showrooms, our world-class maintenance
service, our Volvo Personal
Service (VPS) as well as
other packages have all received
a positive response and feedback
from our customers. Now, Volvo
has gone one step further by extending
the Customer Lifetime
Parts Warranty, which allows customers
to get spare parts changed
once their car’s warranty has run
out. The new warranty extension
is not limited to mileage and is
valid for the entire duration of the
customer’s ownership of the vehicle.
This is considered the longest
warranty offer in the car industry
in Thailand. Putting our customers
first is the Volvo way; our new
warranty will surely give new customers
complete confidence in the
Volvo brand and attract owners of
older Volvo models to have their
car serviced and parts replaced at
our authorized service centers so
as they can also get these valuable
benefits. Customers are entitled
to this warranty when genuine
parts are installed at any of our 13
authorized Volvo Service Centers
nationwide.”

5 TIPS
ON MARKETING YOUR
BUSINESS DURING
A GLOBAL PANDEMIC
During this time of social distancing,
quarantine and lockdown,
communication is more important
than ever and engaging with your
customers through empathy becomes
key.
We are now looking at a new
normal where it is more challenging
to reach and connect with our
customers and we have to be creative
in the ways that we do this.
1
Reassure your customers
about how your company is responding
to the pandemic. Apply
a calming, reassuring tone with a
positive message, this is a welcome
reprieve from the seemingly
24/7 negative news. If possible,
use video with warm, embracing
visuals to convey a message of
comfort and familiarity in an uncertain
world.
2
Refresh your customer experience
strategies and sales processes.
This is not the time for pushy
sales or keeping people waiting
for a reply to an email. Make sure
that you are showing empathy
for the current situation that your
customers are experiencing in all
of your communications. Remove
any automated emails which may
seem pushy or unsympathetic and
focus on strengthening your relationship
with your customers.
3
Implement an agile pricing
model. If your customers are
struggling right now, find different
ways to offer your services at an
affordable level. Can you offer
payment plans, discounted services
or additional free items to
ensure that your customers are
getting the most value possible.
4
Use video to make your message
more impactful. Many people
will mute the TV or tune out
from ads when they are scrolling
through social media, especially
when they are at home more than
usual. Almost everyone is at home
now so video advertising has never
been able to be more impactful
and serve as the cornerstone to
connecting communities.
5
Step back from the hard sell
and provide messaging that reaffirms
your commitment to be there
over the long term and through
thick and thin. Provide reassurance
and support for clients, both
present and future.

FITNESS & YOU
- THE KEY TO A BETTER LIFE -
WHY DO I WANT TO
GET FIT…..
Recently I have had many
people come and buy some of
our good condition used commercial
fitness equipment. The
first question I usually ask is
“Why do you want to buy fitness
equipment?”
I have found that most people
generally want to lose weight
or feel better. For me this is the
key question you should ask
yourself before spending money
on a gym membership or buying
any type of equipment for your
home.
Although weight loss is a
major target for most people,
some other important factors
should also be considered.
1. You might want to sleep
better.
The 2013 annual Sleep In
America poll from the National
Sleep Foundation found that
people who self-identify as regular,
vigorous exercisers got
better sleep than their sedentary
peers. Of the vigorous exercisers,
just 17 percent said
they got fairly or very bad sleep,
while nearly half of the non-exercisers
reported the same
proving that physical tiredness
is a key to sleeping well.
2. Keep your brain sharp.
In the short-term, exercise
increases blood flow, including
to the brain, which leaves you
feeling more awake, alert, focused
and productive. But with
a regular fitness routine, you
reap even bigger benefits, including
warding off dementia
and other cognitive decline that
often comes with age. Regular
exercise also fuels the birth of
new brain cells in a section of
the brain called the hippocampus,
which is highly involved in
learning and memory.
BUSINESS SUPPLEMENT
3. Lower your diabetes
risk.
In a 2014 study, women who
sweated it out for 150 minutes
a week and performed 60 minutes
a week of strength training
exercises had a lower risk
of developing type 2 diabetes
than the most inactive women in
the study. Even walking counts:
Earlier research found that people
who walked just 3,500 steps
a day (there are roughly 2,000
steps in a mile) had a lower risk
of developing diabetes than the
people who walked the least in
the study, Reuters reported.
4. Lower your resting heart
The Fitness Column is brought to you by:
Pattaya: 092-223-0477 / Bangkok: 02-185-1920
rate.
The more you exercise, the
stronger you get — but not only
in ways you can see. As the
heart becomes more efficient
at pumping oxygen-rich blood
around the body, your resting
heart rate may drop. And that’s
a good thing, since higher resting
heart rates may put you at
risk for serious disease.
5. Feel bloody great!!!
Even without a clinical diagnosis,
working out will make you
feel good. Whether or not you
find the elusive runner’s high or
not, there’s no denying the extra
blood flow to the brain and
the extra mood-boosting endorphins
it produces. About 14 percent
of people turn to exercise
as a stress-reliever, according
to the Anxiety and Depression
Association of America — and
those around you will also be
happier you are not moaning as
much either!!!
Your target, or goal, is the
key to your success or failure.
As with everything, set your
goals realistically and don’t
loose sight of them.

BUSINESS SUPPLEMENT
HELPING EXPATS
TO
NAVIGATE THE
NEW NORMAL
With thoughts of Corona
Virus still very much at
the forefront of everyone’s
minds, we are facing the
reality of adapting to a new
normal where staying home
and keeping your distance
from other people is the best
way to stay safe and healthy.
Even though Thailand
does not currently have any
new cases of Corona, visiting
crowded places should
still be avoided at all costs.
This is why Key Visa have
launched their new collection
service for 90 day reports
and British Passport
Renewals/Applications.
Many of our customers
are retired here in Thailand
and older adults are most
vulnerable to getting dangerously
sick with COVID-19. In
order to maintain the safety
of our customers and ensure
they don’t need to leave
home unnecessarily we now
offer a home collection service
for anyone needing to
do a 90 day report.
Although there is currently
no fine for reporting late
during the lockdown period,
it’s still better to keep your
reports on time so you don’t
forget about them after lockdown
is finished. You can report
upto 7 days before your
due date so simply give Key
Visa a call on 038 422 131 or
send us an email info@keyvisathailand.com
and we will
come to collect your passport
from your home, complete
your report and return
your passport to you all for
just 700 baht.
In addition to this we are
also able to offer the same
service for passport renewals
and first passport applications
for children. Not only
do you not need to travel
to Bangkok, now you don’t
even need to leave your own
home! Just prepare your paperwork
according to our
guidelines and let Key Visa
call to collect everything
from your home and deliver
it back to you upon completion.
We have found that many
of our older customers in
particular don’t have their
own vehicles and right now
the last place you want to be
is on public transport. So, we
have created this service to
help you navigate the new
normal and get things done
whilst still remaining safe.
