Cover Story
PATTAYA TO SPEND 160M BAHT
ON BEACH LANDSCAPING TO
LURE LOCAL TOURISTS
In order to boost local tourism, The
City of Pattaya will improve the city’s
famous beachfront area with a 160 million
bahtmakeover scheme.
Sonthaya Kunplome, mayor of the
City of Pattaya, was quoted as saying,
"The City of Pattaya needs to change
its tourism strategy to draw local tourists
to the city.”
The scheme will cover a 4 km stretch
of beach road from North Pattaya to
Walking Street and will include landscape
improvements such as planting
more trees, remodeling gardens and
greenery and renovating walkways to
make them safer and more attractive.
Underground public toilets will also be
installed and parking bays for coaches
along beach road are earmarked in the
plans.
Work will start in October and the
goal is to complete the project by the
end of this year.
Although the aim is to boost local
tourism in the immediate future, the
beachfront improvements will ultimately
form part of a longer-term plan to improve
Pattaya’s standing in the international
market too.
International visitors from China,
India, Europe, Russia, Australia and
North Asia made up 80 per cent of
tourists to Pattaya before the Covid-19
pandemic.
The beautification of Pattaya
beach comes hot on the heels of the
beach-widening scheme that was completed
a couple of years ago. The widening
of the beach from just 5 meters to
as much as 50 meters was instrumental
in increasing tourism to the resort.
More holidaymakers have been seen
enjoying the newly widened beach
since the makeover.
There were some concerns that
the imported sand would end up being
washed away but so far the newly widened
beach has been kept in tact and
has proven to be a valuable asset to
the city.
So much so, that another scheme
to widen Jomtien beach has now been
given the go ahead.
In the initial phase, 586 million baht
will be spent on widening 3.5 km of
eroded shoreline along Jomtien beach,
from Jomtien Soi 11 all the way to the
Lung Sawai restaurant. 680,000 cubic
meters of imported sand will be used to
broaden the beach by 50 meters.
A second phase will commence in
fiscal year 2022 to widen the remaining
stretch from Soi Na Jomtien 11 to Phra
Tamnak, another 3.5 kilometers.
Currently much of the beach at the
far end has been eroded to expose just
rocky outcrops and breakwaters that
are backing on to the beach road.
Since many Thai owners have second
properties in Jomtien, the renovation
of the beach area is also expected
to boost domestic tourism in the medium
and long term.

CENTRAL GROUP’S
“THE 1” LAUNCHES
NEW DIGITAL
LIFESTYLE SCHEME
BUSINESS SUPPLEMENT
Central Group’s “The 1” loyalty
card has now launched a digital
lifestyle scheme, collaborating
with leading digital technology
companies to offer more to its
customers. Approximately 1 billion
baht has been invested in
business alliances with the likes
of digital firms such as Adobe and
Accenture.
Ton Chirathivat, Central The
1 Ltd.’s president, was quoted as
saying, "The new "The 1" platform
was launched earlier this month.
The new platform aims to deliver
the best experience for all lifestyles
of over 17 million users,"
adding, "This latest iteration of
The 1 will renovate Thailand's experience
economy like never before
and is part of Central's digital
transformation."
“The 1” loyalty card and associated
membership boasts 25 per
cent of the entire Thai Population.
It provides users with a way to
collect points on purchases from
a wide variety of outlets including
Central Group stores, Robinsons,
Tops, Family Mart, Power Buy
and many others. These can be
redeemed for coupons, cash and
discounts on over 2,000 brands in
different sectors including hotels,
food outlets, gas stations and
hospitals amongst others.
TESCO LOTUS
OPERATOR TO OPEN
MORE STORES
Ek-Chai, The operator of the ubiquitous
Tesco Lotus stores across
Thailand, intends to open two or
three more new Tesco Lotus hypermarkets
and up to 150 new Tesco
Lotus Express stores during
this year.
The Tesco Lotus Express
stores have been very popular
since they bridge the gap between
convenience stores and the larger
hypermarkets. Customers who
want quick access to a broader
range of products are choosing
Express stores for their ease of
access and parking.
Customer director Vorawan
Phianlikhitwong was quoted as
saying, "To respond to customers'
demands, we've also developed
new retail models: the Tesco-Lotus
pop-up store and the Tesco
Lotus Express kiosk in front of
Tesco Lotus hypermarket," adding,
"The first pop-up store was
opened a few months ago on
Bang Na-Trat Road to access
customers who don't want to visit
our large hypermarket, and two
Tesco Lotus Express kiosks in
front of Tesco Lotus hypermarket,
selling only snacks, coffee
and beverages, were opened five
months ago at Sukhumvit 50 and
Phatthanakan."
LOW COST AIRLINES
NOT SO OPTIMISTIC
ABOUT NEAR-TERM
FUTURE
Budget airlines in Thailand were
under pressure in the first half of
2020 as international travel all
but ground to a halt. Thai Air Asia
stated that it carried 4.8 million
customers in the first half, down
58 per cent. However, this included
the nearly normal months
of January and February. Since
March 22nd borders have been
closed and the second quarter
saw a much sharper downturn.
Meanwhile, Thai Lion Air said
it saw passenger numbers fall
nearly 60 per cent. It is unlikely
that the airline will restart international
flights in the next three
months.
Nuntaporn Komonsittivate,
head of commercial operations
at Thai Lion Air was quoted as
saying, "We've followed developments
from authorities on a daily
basis and have to accept the reality
that border reopening is not
easy, as we need agreement from
both sides.”
The airline is hoping that government
stimulus of the domestic
sector, in particular enticing people
to travel further than driving
distance, will provide a cushion
for the next few months.

FUTURE RAIL PLANS FOR
BANGKOK, PATTAYA AND BEYOND
The Mass Rapid Transit Authority of
Thailand (MRTA) has set out plans to expand
rail lines in Bangkok and has also announced
future schemes in other cities.
In Bangkok, the Brown Line will be extended
from Khae Rai to Yaek Lam Sali
and the Purple Line will run from Tao Poon
to Rat Burana. These two projects will be
completed in 2026 and 2027 respectively.
The announcement was made at the MR-
TA’s 28thanniversary event.
These new projects follow news that the
tender process was opened for the operation
of the Orange Line that connects Thailand
Cultural Centre with Bang Khun Non.
More lines in Bangkok are also expected
to be planned and built going forward.
MRTA governor Pakapong Sirikantaramas
was quoted
as saying,
"The MRTA aims at elevating the lives of
city dwellers, providing more convenience,
by developing the transit areas of various
[modes of public] transportation.”
In other major cities, new rail lines are
being planned. Nakhon Ratchasima will see
its Green Line get the go ahead, which will
connect the Save One Market to the Baan
Nari Swat Protection and Occupational Development
Centre. Completion is expected
to be in 2025.
By 2028, in the northern city of Chiang
Mai, residents there will be able to travel on
the "Chiang Mai Light Rail Transit” system
linking Nakornping Hospital to Mae Hiais.
To the south, Phuket will see a long
awaited monorail connecting Phuket International
Airport to the Tha Chalong Intersection.
This has long been an extended
taxi or bus ride and so it will be a welcome
addition to the resort island. Completion is
expected by 2026.
Meanwhile, under what is expected to be
a public-private partnership (PPP) model,
Pattaya is gearing up to build its own monorail
linking the upcoming high-speed rail
(HSR) station to Pattaya’s downtown areas.
Construction is expected to commence in
2023 and the line should be operational by
2027. Currently the plans are at the public
hearing stage and will then
await cabinet approval
following environmental
impact assessments.
Eighty per
cent of Pattaya's
residents
were
in favor of
the monorail,
which
will come
at a cost
o f
approximately 26 billion baht.
Initial plans of the routing, which may
be subject to change, show the 9km long
monorail starting at the HSR Station to the
east of Sukhumvit Road and then traversing
Pattaya North Road with 4 stops before
turning left into Pattaya Sai Song road. An
additional 6 stops are expected as the line
extends in a north/south direction, including
Pattaya North Road station, Pattaya Central
Road station, Pattaya South Road station
and Thap Phraya Intersection before
the monorail terminates at Bali Hai Pier.
Motor Way
PATTAYA
HSR Station
Pattaya deputy mayor Manote Nongyai was
quoted as saying, "For the future development
of Pattaya, it is necessary to reduce the use
of private cars while moving towards public
transport in the form of an electric rail system
to distribute wealth, promote tourism and help
the industrial sector.”
The Pattaya monorail project is designed to
connect Pattaya with the government's already
well-established Eastern Economic
Corridor (EEC) project.

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.
THAILAND HAS MORE
WOMEN THAN MEN
The number of females as a
share of the total Thai population
stands at 51.3 per cent as
of the latest census statistics at
the end of 2019.
It was not always the case
that there were more females
than males in the Kingdom.
In 1970 the female population
made up only 49.9 per cent of
the total, but it has been steadily
rising and by 2008 stood at 50.9
per cent.
Since then the imbalance
has further increased at a remarkably
steady rate of 0.07
per cent each and every year.
By 2012 the ratio was 51.1 per
cent and by 2015 it was 51.2 per
cent.
Today’s ratio of 51.3 per cent
may not seem like much of a
deviation from the 50 per cent
perfect balance of equality, but
a little mathematics can put the
number into light. It means that
for every 100 men there are
102.7 women, or for every 100
women there are only 97.5 men.
Thailand is not the only
country to have more women
than men, and indeed there are
much starker examples.
In Russia, for every 100
women there are only 86.8 men.
In Eastern European countries
such as Estonia and Lithuania
the numbers are similar at 88
and 85.3 respectively.
Conversely in China there
are 106.3 men for every 100
women due in part to the practice
of sex selective birth preferences.
At the extreme end of the
scale the UAE in the Middle
East has 274 men for every 100
women meaning there are nearly
three times as many men as
women.
Other Middle Eastern nations
also have high imbalances, with
Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar
sporting 130.1, 197 and 265.5
men for every 100 women.
The average for the world is
101.8 men for every 100 women.
THAILAND ALMOST
DOUBLED ITS INTER-
NATIONAL RESERVES
Thailand almost doubled its
international reserves in the
10 years from 2008 to 2018. At
2018 the number stood at 205.6
billion U.S. dollars.
As per the definition provided
by the IMF, international
reserves are a combination of
a country’s foreign exchange
on hand, its monetary gold reserves,
its reserve position in
the IMF, and the value of its US
Dollar Special Drawing Rights
by its monetary authorities.
In 2008 Thailand had just
over US$111 billion in international
reserves, but in the two
years following the worldwide
great financial recession of that
year, reserves in Thailand actually
increased by 24 per cent
per year to stand at US$172 billion
by 2010.
Yet for the next 6 years international
reserve growth slowed
and even slipped into negative
territory in some years. From
2010 to 2016, international reserves
grew by just 0.15 per
cent on average. The following
year saw a jump of 17.91
per cent with reserves topping
US$202.5 billion.

the move was the specter

with near zero interest rates.
Yet, although gold, silver and

“Bits n Bytes”
STEVE DICKENS
THE GLOBAL FIBER OPTIC NETWORK EXPLAINED
As we scroll through Instagram
or cue up another episode on Netflix,
most of us give little thought to
the hidden network of fiber optic
cables that instantaneously shuttle
information around the globe.
This extensive network of cables
– which could stretch around
the Equator 30 times – is the connective
tissue that binds the internet,
and thanks to our insatiable
appetite for video streaming, it’s
growing larger with every passing
year.
A Series of Tubes
The late Senator Ted Stevens
drew laughter for describing the
internet as a “series of tubes” in
2006, but as it turns out, most of
the information moving around the
world does, in fact, travel through a
series of tubes. Undersea fiber optic
tubes, to be exact.
The way this system functions
is deceptively simple. Light, which
is beamed into a fiber optic cable
at a shallow angle, ricochets its
way along the tube at close to light
speed until being converted back
into an electrical signal at its destination
– generally a data center. To
increase bandwidth further, some
cables are able to carry multiple
wavelengths concurrently.
Impressively, this simple method
of bouncing light through a tube
is what moves 99% of the world’s
digital information.
The Glass Superhighway
Since the first undersea fiber
optic cable, TAT-8, was constructed
by a consortium of companies in
1988, the number of cables snaking
across the ocean floor has risen
dramatically. In fact, over 100 new
cables will have been laid between
2016 and 2020, with a value of
nearly $14 billion.
Increasing bandwidth requirements
have transformed content
providers from customers to cable
owners. As a result, tech giants like
Google and Facebook are taking a
more active role in the expansion of
the global fiber optic network. Google
alone had at least five cable
projects set for completion in 2019.
The Last Mile
Much like Amazon struggles
with the “last mile” of deliveries, the
transmission of digital information
is much less efficient at the data
center level, where servers are
connected by traditional electric
cables. These short-range cables
are far less efficient than their fiber
optic counterparts, losing half their
running power as heat.
If this inefficient use of energy
isn’t solved, internet-related activity
could comprise a fifth of the world’s
power consumption by 2030.
Thankfully, a related technology
– integrated photonics – could keep
the high-definition videos of the future
streaming. Although the silicon
wires used in integrated photonics
do not guide light as effectively as
fiber optics, the ultra-thin wires are
far more compact. Photonic chips
paired with burgeoning terahertz
(THz) wireless communications
could eventually form the backbone
of a 6G network. Short-range THz
signals would hitch a ride on silicon
wires via tiny photonic chips scattered
around population centers.
Before this efficient, high-capacity
future is realized, researchers
must first solve the puzzle of manufacturing
photonic devices at scale.
Once this method of data transmission
hits the mainstream market, it
could drastically alter the course of
both computing and global energy
consumption.

roles for over 40 years with international technology
companies, 15 of which have been

PLANS TO
RE-OPEN BALI TO
FOREIGN
TOURISTS MAY BE
PUT ON HOLD
After reopening to domestic
flights on July 31st, plans to reopen
Bali to foreign tourists from mid September
are now in doubt.
There are concerns that it may
be too early to open the island destination
to foreigners.
State-Owned Enterprises Minister
Erick Thohir, who oversees the
country’s coronavirus taskforce, was
quoted as saying in an online discussion,
“We don’t want that the programme
to make Indonesia healthy
become compromised by the plan to
allow foreign tourists to come, and it
creates possible new clusters,” adding,
“Therefore, the committee has
decided to review this plan to allow
foreign tourists to come.”
Around 6.3 million foreign tourists
came to Bali directly last year,
with Australia being a leading feeder
market.
CHINA LOOKS
TO EXPAND ITS
HIGH-SPEED RAIL
NETWORK
TWO-FOLD
BY 2035
China's hunger for new rail links
looks set to continue until at least
2035 with more than 200,000 kilometers
of railways slated for construction
over the next 15 years. This will mean
that the overall rail network will increase
in size by 41 per cent and the
size of the high speed rail network,
where speeds of more than 250 km/h
can be achieved, will almost double.
In the first six months of this year,
investment in railways amounted to
325.8 billion Yuan, an increase of
1.2 percent year on year. This came
at a time when other fixed asset investments
fell by around 3.1 per cent
over the same time period.
Larry Hu, chief China economist
with Macquarie Capital was quoted
BUSINESS SUPPLEMENT
AROUND THE ASIAN REGION
as saying, "China's economic growth
has three pillars: exports, property
and infrastructure investment," adding,
"Exports can no longer be relied
upon, and property speculation will
be curbed, so infrastructure investment
is the last pillar that shouldn't
fall."
China is rightly proud of its highspeed
network, but in reality it is a
necessity since the country covers
such a large geographical area. It
is seen as a critical investment to
create a single market in the vast
country.
Shen Jianguang, a long-time
Chinese economist who works for
JD Digits, was quoted as saying, “It
is a blueprint for 2035, when China
will be much richer and more prosperous
than today. It makes sense to
connect every city with half a million
people into the high-speed railway
network - Frankfurt became the economic
heart of Germany when its
population was about half a million."
CAMBODIA
CANCELS ITS
OCTOBER WATER
FESTIVAL
The Government of Cambodia
has announced that it will call off the
three-day Water Festival that was due
to take place between 30th October
and 1st Nov 2020. The reason given
is concerns about crowds at a time of
Covid-19 transmission prevention.
Ek Tha, spokesman for the office
of the Council of Ministers, was quoted
as saying, “At Cambodia’s Water Festival,
tens of thousands of people gather
to enjoy the traditional event around
the river fronts of Tonle Sap and the
four arms of the Mekong,” adding,
“Although we do not have community
transmission in the country, we don’t
want to take the risk.”
Last year the Water Festival drew
4.7 million domestic visitors and over
31,000 foreigners.

APPLYING FOR A
UK VISA FOR YOUR
THAI SPOUSE
What types of UK visas are
there?
There are a number of different
UK visas which foreigners can apply
for depending on their individual
circumstances.
In this article we will look at
visitor (tourist) visas, for visitors
who want to stay in the UK for less
than six months, fiancee visas for
people who want to get married in
the UK and then apply to settle.
Lastly, settlement visas for spouses
of UK citizens.
There are a lot of misconceptions
around the UK visa requirements
for foreigners so in this article
we will try to clear these up
for you.
Some people believe that you
need to be a UK citizen to invite a
foreign national to visit you in the
UK or go on holiday to theUK with
you. This is not the case, a foreigner
with indefinite leave to remain
in the UK or an EU national who
is legally working in the UK, can
invite their partner, friends or family
to visit them in the same way
that a UK citizen can. This also applies
to two foreign nationalswho
want to visit the UK together. So
just because you are not a British
passport holder, you can still apply
for a visa for your Thai partner to
visit the UK on holiday with you.
If you are a Thai couple or family
with adequate means to visit the
UK on holiday, you don't necessarily
need an invitation from a UK
passport holder if you can prove
that you are able to fund your trip
by yourselves.
If you are living in the UK and
want to apply for a visa for your
partner, you will need to supply a
number of documents proving the
nature
of your relationship, adequate
reasons for your partner to return
to Thailand at the end of the trip
and financial proof that you are
able to cover the cost of the trip.
If you met your partner online,
the immigration clearance officer
would expect you to have already
met in person at least once and
will judge the length of your relationship
from the time you met in person.
If you and your partner are living
in Thailand together then the
assumption is made that you and
your partner will return to Thailand
together, but don't be fooled
into thinking that this is sufficient
reason to convince the
ICO that your partner will return
to Thailand. You will still need to
show sufficient proof of your relationship
and life together.
If you and your partner are not
yet married, but intend to do so
and then settle in the UK together.
One way of achieving this is with
a fiancee visa. This enables your
partner to
travel to the UK and stay for a
maximum of six months. During
that six month period you must get
married and then you will be able
to start the settlement process
without your partner needing to
return to Thailand.
If you and your partner are already
married and would like to
live in the UK together, then you
can apply for a settlement visa.
The settlement visa application
is not only complex but expensive
and best undertaken with
the guidance of an experienced
visa consultant. Key Visa have
been assisting Thai citizens with
all types of UK visas for over 15
years.
Please contact us by email
info@keyvisathailand.com to discuss
your UK visa requirements.

HOW TO MAKE SOCIAL
MEDIA WORK FOR
YOUR BUSINESS...
There are currently more than
1.5 billion active Facebook users,
320 million Twitter users & 100
million active Linkedin users.
Social Media opens up a whole
new world of Online Marketing for
small business owners. Even
if you haven’t got your website
up and running yet, you can still
connect with potential customers
through platforms such as Facebook,
Twitter & Linkedin.
Although these three popular
platforms all involve connecting
with your customers online, they
do need very different strategies.
Facebook is the most ‘social’
of the Social Media platforms and
in order to succeed here you will
need to let your customers see
the personal side of your business
through humour, helpful hints and
honest feedback about your services.
Don’t sell your product or service
on Facebook, instead encourage
users to leave reviews on
your Facebook page which act as
‘Social Proof’ that your company
is trustworthy and offer free advice
and tips related
to your industry.
Don’t
lock your
content
a w a y
and ask
for someone’s email address before
handing over any content,
that’s like walking up to someone
in a bar and asking for a date
before you’ve even asked their
name!
Be sure to use a Facebook
Business Page for your company
and not a personal profile, as
personal profiles can get banned
if they are used for business. For
more information on setting up
your Facebook page for business,
you can check out Facebook’s
official guide - https://www.facebook.com/business/learn/set-upfacebook-page
Twitter is great for short updates
about your services, product
launches or other newsworthy
items regarding your business.
It is also a great way to connect
with known industry influencers
and experts.
Linkedin is the most professional
of all the Social Media platforms
and the place where you
should aim to establish yourself
as an expert.
Joining groups, commenting
on discussions and posting links
to relevant articles are just some
of the ways in which you can
start to get noticed on Linkedin.
Remember, that it is a corporate
platform and the use of ‘emocions’
and other casual content should
be avoided as it is your chance
to show off your professionalism
and the professionalism of your
company.

KEY REASONS WHY MITSUBISHI TRITON IS POPULAR
Merely 2 years since its global
launch, Mitsubishi Triton has proven
to be a popular choice with drivers in
Thailand. The strategic global model’s
popularity has increased steadily, positioning
it as the 3rd best-selling pickup
truck in Thailand.
Mitsubishi Triton’s appeal comes
from its powerful exterior design,
premium interior appointment and
finishing, race-bred 4WD system
that improves off-road performance,
advanced passive and active safety
features, and class leading performance
and functionality. All these are
combined together in a package that
has been 'Engineered Beyond Tough’
to offer commercial users durability
and reliability, with the required refinements,
comfort and ride quality sought
after by pickup truck enthusiasts. And
here are the top 4 reasons why Mitsubishi
Triton is a popular buy.
1.Powerful and Stylish Design
The first striking feature of Mitsubishi
Triton is its powerful exterior design.
The advanced 'Dynamic Shield’ design
language gives the required robust,
size and presence of a pickup
truck with an upmarket and premium
disposition. Designed with a 'Rock
Solid’ concept reflects toughness that
is fully underpinned by engineering
prowess and know how.
The front-end is accentuated by
the higher positioning of the auto-levelling
Bi-LED headlamps and fog
lamps, giving Mitsubishi Triton a bold
look. At 700 mm above ground level,
the head- and fog lamps are less vulnerable
to water damage on flooded
roads or stone chips from vehicles in
front.
Inside, the stylish interior of Mitsubishi
Triton is an expression of a
progressive and robust theme with
frame surroundings for switch panels
and air outlets. A premium high-quality
look and feel is created by soft-touch
materials and stitching on the center
console, armrests and parking brake
and leather for the complete premium
feel.
2.Advanced Safety
System
Another quality of
Mitsubishi Triton that
has endeared it to
so many drivers is
its high impact-safety
cabin structure or RISE
(Reinforced Impact Safety
Evolution) body. RISE body has
been tested in challenging conditions
around the world. Consequently, occupants
are protected by an efficient energy-absorbing
structure that is highly
deformation-resistant.
To augment that, Mitsubishi Triton
is equipped with class leading and advanced
active safety and driver assistance
systems. They include Forward
Collision Mitigation (FCM) system
that detects vehicles and pedestrians
ahead; Blind Spot Warning with Lane
Change Assist (BSW with LCA) that
helps avoid sideswiping another vehicle
when changing lanes by alerting
the driver. The system detects a collision
probability with a vehicle coming
from behind moving to the same
direction from the side or rear bumper.
Mitsubishi Triton also comes with Rear
Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) that helps
avoid collisions when reversing and
Ultrasonic Misacceleration Mitigation
System (UMS) that reduces accidents
resulting from improper use of the accelerator
when moving off or reversing
in car parks and other confined spaces.
Other advanced safety technologies
also include the Multi Around
Monitor that uses 4 cameras to monitor
the area around the vehicle, with a
bird’s eye view image of obstacles on
the display, and Parking Sensors that
provide assisted parking.
3.Super Select 4WD-II
For its capability on the move, Mitsubishi
Triton comes with Active Stability
Traction Control (ASTC) that features
the tough and proven Super Select
4WD-II system. This provides the
pickup truck with superior all-terrain
performance. Super Select 4WD-
II features 4 drive modes. 2H (2WD
High-Range) is best used for normal
road conditions and for fuel efficiency.
4H (4WD High-Range) is on full-time
all wheel control allowing to drive relatively
high speed on slippery surfaces,
4HLc (4WD High-Range with Locked
Transfer) is ideal for rugged terrain
with low-grip surfaces while running
on relatively high speed. And 4LLc
(4WD Low-Range with Locked Transfer)
provides maximum traction for
off-road conditions. In 4LLc, drivers
can choose from 4 off-road modes including
Gravel, Mud/Snow, Sand, and
Rock settings.
4.Responsive Performance
Last but not least, another reason
why the Mitsubishi Triton is a popular
choice is its performance. Starting
with its 2.4L MIVEC VG Turbo Clean
Diesel engine. Mitsubishi Triton has
class leading output that is channeled
through the latest 6-speed automatic
transmission that improves performance
and enhances fuel economy
and engine durability. It also results
in more powerful acceleration with improved
refinement. It is also biodiesel
B20-compatible.

FITNESS & YOU
- THE KEY TO A BETTER LIFE -
NO RESPONSE TO AN
EXERCISE ROUTINE
MAY INDICATE YOU ARE
A NON-RESPONDER
Exercise science has a name
for people who train hard in a certain
way, yet don’t really get to see
much in the way of change for the
effort they put in. That name is
‘non-responder’.
Sadly, if you are a non-responder
then there’s a good
chance you’ll never see any benefit
from the exercise regime you’re
using. Despite this, don’t despair. It
just means the regime you’re using
doesn’t suit your own unique biology,
and a simple change, or maybe
a more radical change will see
you start getting the benefits you
expect from all that training.
In 2001, an analysis of several
previously published exercise
studies found that a single exercise
routine could affect different
people in dramatically different
BUSINESS SUPPLEMENT
ways, regardless of age, gender, or
other demographic factors. Some
trainers may build up their stamina
from a running routine, or build up
muscle mass from lifting weights,
and yet others on the same regime
might see their fitness levels
remain stagnant, or even end up
worse off than when they started.
The good news is that a study
conducted by the journal PLOS
One suggests there is no such
thing as a universal non-responder,
so if the workout you’ve been on
for the last six weeks, or months,
or longer, is not working for you,
there will be one out there that will.
The study authors had their
subjects go through three weeks
of endurance training and three of
interval training, with a few months’
break in between the two, and
measured each person’s fitness
at the beginning and the end of
each program. The results: “As a
group, they had gained admirable
amounts of fitness from both workouts
and to about the same extent,
but individually, the responses varied
considerably.”
The study showed around 33
percent of the people failed to
show much improvement in one of
the measures of fitness after three
weeks of endurance training. Similarly,
about 33 percent had not improved
their fitness much with interval
training. And after each type
of workout, some participants were
found to be in worse shape.
A majority of the participants, in
other words, had failed to respond
as expected after one of the workouts.
The researchers’ main takeaway,
though, is that each participant
had at least one workout
that did work for them. So, being
a non-responder to one type of exercise
never meant that someone
was a non-responder to all types.
The real downside to some extent
is that the only way to really tell
if you’re a non-responder to something
is through trial and error.
Yes, this means you have to battle
through four, five, six weeks of the
one style of training and see what
happens. If you’re lucky, you’ll hit
on a great response straight away;
if you’re unlucky you might slog
away for some time before finding
the right regime for you.
