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.
