THE ARSED’S IMPOTENT COLUMN FOR FEBRUARY 2012
Dear Constant Reader.
I was reading a little bit about Rupert Murdoch’s wife Wendi Deng, a lovely
43 year old Chinese lady. Murdoch is now I believe 83, so I thought to myself,
that’s the way to go !! A lady; 40 odd years younger than yourself. Doesn’t that
conjour up some exciting visions in your mind. Well, I’m a publisher same as Rupert
and I’m getting on in years so I sort of have the necessary qualificationd for
a woman 40 years younger than myself.
Still no applicants for the job of Sales & Marketing person for the Pattaya Trader. I mention
this in case anyone out there knows of a Thai girl or boy or a mixture of both who might be
looking for a job of this nature. Smart, self confident and a nice personality are all that’s needed.
A bit of spoken English would be an asset but most of the businesses will be Thai owned so the
English is not so important.
The Pattaya Trader is also looking for writers. We still need someone who can write about
formula 1 and golf. I would also really like to build up the sports section of the magazine, so if you
have a sport you would like to write about and contribute to the Trader every month please get in
touch. Maybe the Pattaya Sports Club has someone who could write about their favourite sport.
How about fishing ? Any fishermen who can put pen to paper ?
A friend of mine (yes, I do have friends believe it or not !) said to me the other day that we
ought to have more competitions. This got me to thinking that maybe we could have a monthly
competition for the best looking girl friend ? I would be happy (well ... not actually happy, but prepared)
to fork out a couple of thousand Baht as a prize to the best looking lady of a reader. A picture
(nothing sexy, or at least not too sexy, of the lady with some bio details about her. We will
publish the picture of the winning lady in the following issue and give her 2,000 Baht prize money.
Is this a good idea ? Or maybe YOU have a better one ? Please write in and let me know and if
you all think the ‘Girl Friend’ competition is good we will run it.
I guess that’s about all I can think of for this issue. If you would like to write in to me about
anything at all concerning the Pattaya Trader magazine I would be delighted to hear from you.

Steve was delighted when he learned that all
the boys would be over to Pattaya again in
April. As usual, his best mate Gary had called
him on Saturday to tell him all the latest news
from his home town in the UK. Since he’d
moved to Thailand five years earlier, he’d become accustomed
to the vastly different climate and culture of a country 6,000
miles from what used to be home. He wouldn’t swap it, but he
did miss the regular company of the group of friends that had
all gone to school together and had remained close ever since.
Their annual visit to Pattaya had become an event that none of
them would miss - work, wives and girlfriends permitting. This
year was to be a little different it appeared, and not for the better.
The intervening years hadn’t changed Marty, the ex-school
bully. He had evolved into a loud-mouthed, lairy, Billy no mates.
As he lived in the same town and frequented the same pubs, it
was difficult to avoid him. So when word got out that the lads
had booked their holiday,
Marty decided to tag
along and a week later he
booked the same flight.
He was so thick-skinned
as to be oblivious to
the derogatory remarks
made in the pub that his
action had prompted.
Steve knew that it was
going to be hard work
trying to cope with Marty
for a fortnight.
When the lads
arrived in Pattaya, it
emerged that Marty,
despite not being the
E-Mail: pattayatrader@pattayatrader.com
W
The Lesson
sharpest knife in the drawer, had even managed to book himself
into the same Soi 7 hotel as the others. After a few days it
became clear that Marty was intent on business as usual, despite
the advice from the others that Thailand was not a place that
tolerated loutish behaviour. He’d already had a few fights with
farangs of various nationalities and insulted several bar girls who
had, very sensibly, rejected his amorous overtures. The others
had helped him out and dragged him away before he got himself
in serious trouble with the local constabulary. The time seemed
right for him to be taught a lesson.
On Saturday night, after watching the football in Soi 7, they
decided on a visit to Walking Street. Just before they entered the
pedestrianised area, Marty’s attention was drawn to the Muay
Thai boxing that was going on in the street side beer-bar complex.
They all stopped for a minute or two while Marty let it be
known to anyone in earshot that it wasn’t “proper” boxing and
the Thai fighters wouln’t last two minutes against a seasoned exponent
of the Queensbury
rules such as him. One or
two of the lads exchanged
knowing glances. Unlike
Marty, they’d been there
a few times before and
seen many a farang who
fancied their chances made
to appear a complete prat.
Predictably Marty took
little persuading to have
a go when the MC asked
for a farang volunteer to
go a couple of rounds
with Chokchai, the reigning
champion. Marty was
sure it was a tourist show
Page 20 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
and that it was all put on. He’d go gentle on the Thai lad and not
show him up too much.
As he climbed up into the ring, Steve noticed a couple of his
mates talking quietly to Chokchai’s trainer and a number of hundred
Baht notes changing hands. For the first minute or so Marty
was content to show off his pugilistic skills and finely honed torso
to the admiring bar girls who responded by calling him all the
insulting Thai names under the sun. He smiled back in blessed
ignorance. The first round ended with hardly a punch or kick
being landed. Due mostly to Marty’s ineptitude and Chokchai’s
accomplished ringcraft. Steve glanced over to Chokchai’s corner
and saw the trainer seemingly giving some instructions. These
instructions immediately became evident when the contest resumed.
In simple terms, Marty was being given a discrete hiding.
To the casual observer Chokchai was landing more punches and
kicks, but they didn’t seem to be delivered with any malice. Marty
knew otherwise. Chokchai’s skill was enabling him to appear to
be lightly clipping Marty at will, but those blows were meant to
hurt - and did. As the round progressed, Steve realised what was
going on. Two of the others had slipped the trainer a few Baht so
that his boxer could give Marty a hiding. As the bout was nearing
it’s end, Steve thought that Marty might have learned someing
and slow down a bit. Far from it, Marty’s ego and misplaced faith
in his own ability forced him into one final onslaught. The only
effect of which was to force Chokchai to up the ante and deal a
blow that would stop the contest. He easily evaded Marty’s wild
right hook and simultaneously thumped Marty on the back of
the head and kicked his legs from under him. Steve was now
concerned. Chokchai seemed to have lost the plot and was going
to deal with Marty as if there was a ten thousand Baht purse at
stake, rather than a few hundred. Without further ado Steve leapt
up into the ring and grabbed Chokchai around the shoulders
shouting “por, por”, hoping that Chokchai would realise he’d done
enough damage.
Back outside Steve put Marty in a waiting taxi and told the
driver to take him to Pattaya Memorial hospital. He wasn’t badly
Submit your FREE classified with pictures at:
PLEASE - SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS
hurt, only a few cuts and bruises and a sorely damaged ego. His
knee was probably the thing that would need treatment, as he’d
fallen awkwardly in the final melee and could have damaged a
ligament or something similar. Leaving Marty to sort himself out
and reflect on the error of his actions, the rest of the lads headed
into Walking street in search of less frenetic entertainment.
It was around five hours later that Steve found himself
walking along the soi at the back of the hospital that led to his
apartment. He half-hesitated and wondered if he should go in
the A & E department and see if Marty had been sorted out. No,
Marty has to learn his lesson. He’ll be back on the scene tomorrow
- hopefully with a better attitude. Steve turned the final
corner on his journey home when he heard a voice behind him.
“Money farang!”. Steve turned slowly to face a Thai man weilding
a long bladed knife and a look that showed that he was probably
prepared to use it.
The fight/flight instinct raced through Steve’s mind. Give
him the money, turn and run or fight? He only had about six
hundred Baht on him as it had been a good night out. He was on
the corner of a soi that led nowhere and trying the ‘Braveheart’
approach with a man holding a large knife and a bad attitude
didn’t seem to be a good idea. Before he had the chance to make
a possible life or death decision, the necessity for it was obviated.
In the darkness Steve didn’t see what happened. All he heard
was a whoosh and a crack, followed by a thud. Moving out into
the light of a street lamp, Steve saw Marty holding the thin end
of an old-fashioned wooden crutch and a crumpled heap of Thai
would-be mugger on the pavement. “Better get out of here a
bit sharpish, I think I’ve hit him a bit too hard”. Steve thought to
himself “thank God for brute force and ignorance”. “ Let’s go and
have a beer and have you got any money?” said Marty. I was in
that bloody hospital for ages and it cost me a fortune. I like Pattaya
- I think I might pack up work and move over here”.

While scientists are
trying to discover if
the universe is made
of matter or anti-matter
the rest of us are
wondering ‘What the hell does it matter?’
with all the present devastation in Thailand
of late. The only consolation is that the scenario
of the world being a washout won’t
last, but, at the same time, I wonder what
happened to the Creator’s promise to Noah
(after the deluge) that he’d send a rainbow
as a promise that the earth would never be
flooded again. I suppose that as only about
half of the entire country was affected, and they not being ‘His Chosen
People’, it didn’t count as ‘wholesale’ in his ledger!
The only floods I’ve experienced have been my childhood reminiscences
that have been flooding back (of the late 50’s Sussex inundation
when my brothers and I sailed around the rooftops of hundreds of
submerged caravans on a makeshift raft of railway sleepers), making me
realize that nostalgia is a thing of the past and not appropriate for a more
fortunate falang to be presently wallowing in. Although they say swimming
is good for the figure I have reservations about ending up with
my body resembling that of an old trout. But why should I
go along with the American theory that only the sleek will
inherit the earth?
I certainly don’t go along with their other] philosophies
for, if you remember, when the Pilgrims ! landed in
America there were only Indians there: they had no taxes,
no national debt, no conscription, no prisons, no brutal
law enforcers or national guard, and the women did all of
the work - and the floundering Pilgrim Fathers thought they
would improve on that system!
If only the native Indians had had a more enlightened immigration
policy the land might have still belonged to them.
When asked what they called their country before it was
dubbed ‘America’ in honour of Amerigo Vespucci ; they replied
“Ours”. Perhaps, instead of the Pilgrim Fathers landing on
Plymouth Rock, it would have been better if the Plymouth Rock
had landed on those Pilgrim Fathers. But there is no point in worrying
about life for if you worry you die, and even if you don’t worry
you die j eventually anyway - so why worry?
All I ever exercise now is an occasional bit of discretion even though
I was out four nights running last week ... no, not jogging! Jogging is for
those aerobic freaks not intelligent enough to enjoy CRAPattaya TV. When
I did take up regular exercise a while ago on the understanding that it
would add years to my life, which it did, I found I felt ten years older and
had developed the energy levels of someone twice my age capable only
of stirring up apathy - but I still do stretch when I yawn in the morning.
Take up running? My whole life has been a race against time and in this
rat-race it’s always the rats that seem to keep winning - and they’re still
rats even when they do win.
My friends seem to be of the opinion the only thing that will improve
my appearance is by keeping my distance. But oh, insomnia! Lying awake
at nights, listening to time ticking silently away; wondering what is a
‘civil-war’; what are ‘even-odds’; if ‘honesty is the best policy’ what are the
Page 22 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
other options; why is ‘being too clever by half an insult; does
‘virtual reality’ mean real or unreal, and those concepts of
infinity and eternity 1 mean where will it all end? However,
I do aerobic sleeping; that is I toss and turn all night when
suffering from my insomnia. My ying said “My bhen arry.
Doan u wolly,’coz u will plobably sleep it off.” I took a sleeping
draught (a big bottle of Bull’s Blood Vino Sanguino) and
got double rest as 1 dreamt I was sleeping, and on waking, I
asked my ying ‘Are you asleep?’ to which she answered “I’m
not telling you!”
One thing about being a fat OAP is that ‘multitasking’
is being able to laugh, cough, sneeze, fart and pee all at
the same time, the only consolation being is that old age is
Submit your FREE classified with pictures at:

something you will outgrow - eventually! And since old
age is only a question of mind over matter what does it
matter if you don’t mind - because if you don’t mind it
won’t matter! Mind you, when your wrinkles turn into
body-pleats it’s no longer just puppy-fat and your puppylove
has gone to the dogs - it’s time to diet! But just don’t
ask me what colour. Groan! I know, I know, the standard
of my correspondence is nothing to write home about
but still the penis mightier than the sword (even though
it’s a lot more difficult to behead somebody with one). Ah
well, since I can’t please all of the people all of the time I
shall just have to please myself thereby at least making
one person happy for I can’t have it both ways as I’m not
a khatoey lady-boy.

A gem or two among the sloths: The New Star go go is the first
den on the left-hand side in Soi Diamond if you are coming in off
Walking Street. It’s easy to walk past, although the policy of having
a couple of usually well-endowed and passably attractive dancing
damsels stood behind the curtain at the entrance and ever ready to
display their primary assets to passers-by usually means the place
gathers a reasonable crowd of punters most nights.
A fairly short and narrow den, it only
takes seven or eight girls and three
or four bums on seats to make it
look busy. The stage has three to
five girls shuffling about while two
damsels soap each other towards
the centre. The preferred discounted
thirst quencher is draft amber while
lady drinks are a fair 110 baht (for a
proper glass).
Of the 12 or so girls I saw on a recent
visit, two or three were worth a second
look while about half were pot
boilers or potential ‘before’ adverts
for Weight Watchers. There is a room
upstairs, which can be rented for 350
baht for a short period of time (one
hour), while the bar fine is 600 baht.
The damsel of your desire wants you
to part with 1,500 baht for an hour of
her precious time. Doing the math,
better value for the nocturnal emission
baht can be found elsewhere,
but the bar is usually worth at least
a look.
A little piece of Heaven in Pattaya:
The Heaven Above go-go (Soi
Diamond) is one of those dens of the
chrome pole people seem to either
love or hate. My personal attitude
towards it is one of ambivalence: can’t
stand the aural assault emanating from
E-Mail: pattayatrader@pattayatrader.com
Proud of her hair in Diamond go go
behind the DJ’s booth, but appreciate the wide and varied looks of
the dancing damsels, albeit that the majority are members of the
hard-core division of wallet emptiers.
I was out with a mate who was initially reluctant to make the trek
up the stairs into Heaven Above. He said his previous experiences
in the den had been less than exciting and he wasn’t keen on the
all-white décor. It was happy hour where a small glass of draft amber
fluid is only 50 baht until 9:30pm.
A smart move the management
have picked up from the Happy/
Peppermint/Beach Club collective
is to have someone, in this case
a couple of the more attractive
dancers, walk around with a sign
indicating happy hour would be
over in five minutes.
As we sat surveying the six dancers
on the main stage and the three or
four who were shuffling about on a
few scattered podiums, my friend
decided this visit to Heaven Above
was far better than his previous
ventures into the den. A quick head
count gave us around 25 dancers
all up as well as some of the best
looking service girls and hostesses
of any place in Fun Town.
If you’re looking for the kind of
hands-on and go the grope kind
of ogling den of the Baby Dolls/
Windmill Club type experience
then you’re in the wrong place. If
you’re searching for Orville and
Wilbur’s sister, Miss Wright, then
once again you’re probably barking
up the wrong chrome pole. If,
instead, you want to find the kind of
girl who can strip paint off walls with
her tongue and turn your love bone to jelly,
Page 24 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
then Heaven Above is well worth the stair climb.
Pattaya go-go dancers: Madame Tussaud’s come
to life, almost: When the girls who work in the go-go
bars are asked what they do, they almost invariably say
they are ‘dancers’. As most observers of the go-go scene
would no doubt concur, in many places it is hard to tell
whether they are ‘dancers’ or merely auditioning for
future roles as dummies in a wax museum.
One partner in the long defunct Spicy Girls go-go
(which started life in Pattayaland Soi 1, before that lane
became overly gender-confused) was once reported to
have said, “we’ve got some poles that are a bit loose, and
they move more than the girls!”
In years gone by the place where the best chrome pole
gyraters could be seen was Happy go-go (Walking
Street). For some years they had easily the best line-up of
girls who would cavort about the centre stage in various
stages of undress while shaking everything. Rumour
suggested much of this adult Attention Deficit Disorder
(ADD) was due to the liberal ingestion of medicinal
compounds not usually available over the counter in
a pharmacy.
Nowadays it’s hard to think of a single den which can lay
claim to having a crew of genuinely energetic or frenetic
exponents of the art of molesting a chrome pole.
When Diamond go-go (Soi Diamond) used to hold
regular monthly dance contests, especially in the early
days when other go-go’s would be invited to compete,
the quality of the dancers and the dancing was first rate,
especially towards the final rounds.
That said, I doubt most punters wander into a gogo
in search of a partner to take to the World Tango
Championships. Their main interest, after all, is what
kind of a performance can be expected in the horizontal
mattress dancing stakes.

A Saunter down Soi LK Metro
Tonights bar crawl takes us along Lk Metro, a
soi which may not be on the radar of anyone
visiting Pattaya for the first time.
Gaining entry to the soi from either Soi Diane or Soi
Buakaow, Soi Lk Metro has seen many new venues open
in the last year or so. Originally developed by the Leng Kee
family it now boasts half a dozen or so gogo bars, a large
selection of reasonably priced guest houses, plus numerous
places to eat and drink.
Situated where it is, this soi doesn’t attract the Walking
Street crowds of Russian, Indian and Arab tourists. Instead Lk
Metro caters for the local expat community, and people on
holiday who stay in and around the vicinity.
Entering Lk Metro from Soi Diane, I decide to start the
evenings drinking at Champagne Agogo. This well established
venue was the sois original gogo bar and I was keen to
see how it was holding up against the new kids on the block.
On entering I was pleased to see a reasonable amount
of customers, which isn’t bad going for this early start of 7
pm. I was also delighted to see that Champagnes happy hour
prices were still intact, offering beer at just 65 Baht a bottle
from 2pm through to 9pm. Also still in place is the free pizza
nights on a Monday and Thursday.
Another plus point is that you can drink in here without
the constant hassle to buy lady drinks. Mind you, looking at
some of the darlings working in here, they would be welcome
to hassle me for as long as the see fit.
I am also happy to report that Champagne has lost none
of its fizz and is still a strong contender for the best gogo bar
on Lk Metro.
My next drink takes me along to The Office Agogo,
which is one of the newer venues on the soi.
This office is unlike any other i have visited in my carrer.
If the work place was indeed like this, i for one would be
more than willing to put in a few more extra hours. Here the
theme is the fantasy world of the sexy secretary. The girls
certainly look the part, dressed in high heels, stockings and
suspenders. Some even don reading glasses to complete the
look.
Office Agogo has a central stage upon which 4 or 5 of
the girls dance, complementing this we have a small jacuzzi
which unfortunately wasn’t in use.
Prices are similar to its competitors with draft and
bottled beer costing 65 Baht between 7pm and 9pm. Again
the girls are non- pushy allowing for a pleasant drinking environment.
Next up is the nautical themed Submarine Agogo,
another relatively new club in the area. Entering by crossing
a gangplank, this gogo bar is as the name would suggest
decked out as a submarine.
Page 26 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
I honestly don’t recall ever visiting a smaller or more narrow
gogo bar, while here in Pattaya. In fact it is so narrow it
doesn’t have the space for a stage, instead the girls dance on
low level tables which sit central to the wall hugging seats.
Unbebelievably they did find space for a jacuzzi, but again it
wasn’t in use. I order a draft beer which is priced at 60 Baht
and true to form comes in a small narrow glass.
Submarine Agogo is definitely worth a curious look. It
has a couple of decent looking girls, and if i was ever unfortunate
enough to suffer from claustrophobia, i could think of
worse places for it to happen than a Pattaya gogo bar.
My last drink of the evening takes me to Club Blu,
which sits on the Soi Buakaow end of the soi.
Club Blu has been open for around four years, but still
has a fairly modern look and feel about it. Inside with its
chrome and glass it wouldn’t look out of place in my home
city in the Uk. What makes this stand apart from anything
back at home is the coyote dancers. These dancing girls strut
their stuff along the windows of Lk Metro, making pleasant
viewing for anyone passing by. For this reason there is obviously
no nudity here, and it may not appeal to the more
hands on type of customer.
Drinks come in at a reasonable 75Baht for a bottle of
Leo or Tiger, with draft beer costing just 50 Baht. Along with
these prices and some decent eye candy, i could think of
worse places to end my nights drinking.

Although sharing some similar types of venues, i think
it would be unwise to believe the hype suggesting this soi to
be a mini Walking Street. This is a perfectly fine soi in its own
right, and should be judged accordingly.
I firmly believe Lk Metro has enough attractions to
satisfy the first time visitor, while also keping the local expats
happy with affordable drink prices. If these two factors

ahead.

As the high season jet-ski scamming season
is now in full swing, I was contacted by two
long-time Pattaya jet-ski operators who were
keen to put their side of the story, suggesting
they are just a misunderstood minority simply
trying to earn a dishonest living.
The two men are brothers, Turdsuk, 28, and Turdsak, 26.
They come originally from Amphur
Anywhere in Mukdahan province
and asked me to refer to them
simply as Big Turd and Little Turd.
“For so many years we were
ignored by the local and international
press, “ complained Big
Turd. “It was all ‘Phuket this’, and
‘Phuket that’. The jet-ski operators
of Phuket got all the press while
we in Pattaya hardly ever rated
a mention. It was so frustrating because
we are as good as anyone at
extracting money with menaces.”
Big Turd emphasized his point
by opening and closing his fists
and dribbling out the side of his
mouth.
The pair claimed they combined
with other jet-ski operators
and became determined to ramp
up their collective profile.
Little Turd chimed in, “It was
an affront to our manhood. How
could we continue to allow Phuket
E-Mail: pattayatrader@pattayatrader.com
Pattaya Jet Ski Scammers
say they are Misunderstood
jet-ski operators to steal all the best headlines? We were becoming
a laughing stock.” Liitle Turd emphasized his point by
reaching above his head and violently spinning the helicopter
blades on the top of his Mickey Mao baseball cap.
The pair stated they, and their compatriots, had ramped
up their threats of physical violence to tourists, including
pulling knives and donning knuckle dusters. These actions, as
well as just “looking tough” had completely changed the way
Page 28 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
Pattaya’s jet-ski operators are now viewed.
“We made the front pages of most of the local newspapers.
We had the British Foreign Office add Pattaya to Phuket
as a place to be wary of hiring jet-skis. We had a national
television channel do a report on Pattaya jet skis and City
Hall spent a few days making a lot of noise about making
sure we were licensed and getting rid of the rogues,” stated
Big Turd.
“You just can’t buy publicity like that,” exclaimed Little
Turd. “Sure we lost a lot of business from the English-language
speakers, the British and Americans, but we keep a
close eye on what the TAT [Tourism Authority of Thailand]
is doing and we knew they were getting Indians to come to
Pattaya in bigger numbers. So, we target them, and the East
Europeans. And we know everyone just hates the Indians
and the Russians, so no one cares what happens to them.”
The pair claim they now not only have the respect of
their cousins in Phuket, they have their envy.
“We are the number one scam artists in the jet-ski
game,” said Big Turd, sticking his chest out and beaming like

a stuck pig. “Hey, go to YouTube and there are videos of us
plastered all over the Internet. I’ve been called a lot of things
in my life, but when foreigners think they’re being insulting
by claiming I’m a ‘scumbag’ or an ‘asshole’ it means nothing.
Like water off a buffalo’s back as we say up-country. But if they
dared call me a monitor lizard then I would hunt them down
and be really nasty.”
When asked why they tried to extract such hefty sums
for what is usually only a small strip of rubber that allegedly
falls off one side, Big Turd was quick to reply, “You have no idea
of our expenses. Just to set up on a part of the beach costs a
fortune in back-handers. Then we have to pay a percentage of
whatever we get as a kind of local government tax. And have
you seen how much 24 bottles of Singha costs these days?
Outrageous. Those breweries are worse than us.”
He then asked, “Do you want to take one of our jet-skis
out for a spin? Only 500 baht for 15 minutes and I promise we’ll
only hit you up for another 20,000 for damage. That’s a great
discount on our normal rates, because we won’t involve our
uniformed friends, OK?”
I politely declined.

Restaurant Reviews
Aloha Diner and Bar. 27 hungry diners in the Frugal Freddy
club invaded Aloha on this evening at our usual 6pm meeting
time, we were greeted by Anusorn who is both the owner, supervising
creative chef and mix-ologist for the large variety of
Polynesian drinks for 1, 2, or 4 people in a variety of glasses and
bowls decorated with fruit and flowers and as many straws as
you want. These drinks not only quenched our thirst but were
very easy on our wallet as Anusorn let us know that he has a
European mind set because he started out first owning a similar
restaurant in Germany before coming back to Thailand 12 years
ago to start Aloha. If the economy is slow unlike many Thai’s
his secret to success is to offer better value for the money and
it is totally safe to say we all walked out happy with this way of
promoting business. I had confirmation from 14 members to
save a seat for them at the main table at 6pm and not only did
all 14 show up on time but 13 more came. The restaurant easily
seats 65 people. No problem finding tables close to the main
table. Decorated in a Polynesian theme with a small stage for
nightly entertainment, it is a very cordial atmosphere. Located
on 2 nd Road, park across the street at the Royal Garden Shopping
center (B40), or take any of the Baht busses that run on 2 nd road
and avoid any parking problems.
We chose to visit this particular evening because Anusorn now
has a daily special set menu (B250) that is featured outside on
the “Weekly set menu board” It changes every day of the week
but remains the same for a calendar month. A number of us ate
there earlier in the month and had the BBQ Brochette that has
a nice size Filet of beef, pork, chicken, sausage and bacon. All
pieces were cooked perfectly and included steamed vegetable
and your choice of potatoes (baked, fried or mashed).
We all noticed coming up on Wednesday was a rock lobster
thermidor special with 2 small lobsters, choice of potatoes and
steamed vegetables. There is nowhere else in Pattaya where you
can get a lobster dinner for B250 and 2 for 1 tropical cocktails,
priced from only B110. I spread the word through the Frugal
Freddy email grapevine and the response was immediate. I notified
Anusorn to have enough lobster for 20 of us and staff to take
good care of us and he
did. He did not run out of
Lobster nor out of alcohol
so it was a very successful
evening.
Rita and I and the Frugal
Freddy group also dined
recently at Goose’s Fish
and Chips (a full supporter
of Frugal Freddy)
restaurant on 2 nd road
between Soi 7 & 8. They
can seat over 30 people
inside and another dozen
outside. It is nicely decorated
with waitresses
who do understand English.
Goose’s has a full fish
menu featuring Pacific
Dory (B195/B120), Halibut
(B265) Turbot (B270)
Cod Loin (B270) Cod Filet
(B295) and the King of
English Fish and Chips
Haddock (B470) The fish

comes deep fried in a light batter
and is of various weights. All meals
include your choice of potatoes
and a salad. Rita choice the hand
cut fries where I chose the mashed,
plus a salad and a generous portion
of tartar sauce. In addition they have
a Gammon dinner (B195), liver and
bacon (B245) and others too numerous
to mention like Chicken Burger
& Hamburger (B195) and couple
of salads for the vegetarians in the
group.
We started with the soups Tomato
and New England Clam Chowder,
both very good, then appetizers. I
had the Prawn cocktail (B145) which
was really a prawn salad with lettuce,
tomato, green onions, olives
in hundred Island dressing. The 8
shrimp were plump, fresh and delicious.
Rita choice the Chicken dippers,
a large plateful of moist strips
of chicken breast, battered and served with a dipping sauce,
don’t know what it was but it was a big bowl and empty when
we finished.
For drinks Rita had her usual Coke (B40) and I had a small caraf
of red wine (B145) and they do have a full bar of beer and liquor
at reasonable prices. After our soups and appetizers and main
course we were too stuffed to have dessert but were tempted to

try the fresh strawberries and banana sundae (B120) but since
Rita was too full to eat her small portion of Pacific Dory we passed
on dessert and I instead had the Irish Coffee (B120) made with
Jameson’s and a head of cream like a good glass of Guinness. A
great way to finish off an excellent meal.
PCEC has many special interest groups to serve the members, one
of the most popular is the Frugal Freddy dinin g out group meeting

The Hunter becomes
the Hunted
Kindly submitted by BS.
It was a new day, empty, innocent and as yet unsullied,
maybe a good day, maybe a bad day, maybe
the last day, but a big day for sure, because I was
about to meet my wife’s family for the first time.
But first, we had to get there. Her village was way
up in the remote highlands of Chang Mai. I was lucky; Rung
was a good girl, a teller from my bank whom, I somehow
managed to sweep off her feet. She was a petite woman
with plenty of good looks, intelligence and tenacity. I was
looking forward to today’s trip. After hearing so much, I was
anxious to see her home.
During the flight north her small frame seemed unusually
tense. She sat next to me wringing her hands as if she
were Macbeth himself. I simply chalked it up to this being
her first airplane flight. But even after we landed there was
a deep sense of unease in her usually cheerful demeanor.
When I asked, there was a moment of debate in her face
like some sort of long range strategy session was taking
place in her mind before she smiled thinly and claimed
everything was fine. While
we waited for the taxi she’d
arranged, Rung just picked
at her food. She was clearly
troubled. I’d never seen her
like this before and began
to suspect that something
was amiss.
When I saw Rung’s
handpicked taxi driver, my
mental watchtower started
jangling, because I’d seen
his ilk a thousand times. He
had the soulless dead eyes
of a career criminal. When
we approached, the momentary
curl of his lips that
passed for a smile emanated
no friendliness and his cold
calculating eyes seemed to
be sizing me up for a coffin.
E-Mail: pattayatrader@pattayatrader.com
Rung however, introduced him as her cousin which I knew
was a lie. Now I was really getting worried.
After I paid the guy for our six hour ride into the mountains,
his flat lifeless eyes lit up like three sevens on a Vegas
slot machine when he saw the cash in my wallet. I watched
carefully while he put our bags in the trunk. He was a cross
between Frankenstein and Herman Munster --- strong and
stupid. His knotted forearms were covered in bad jailhouse
ink and his body language was nothing but menacing. I
had serious doubts about traveling alone with this highland
hooligan up into the desolate hills of northern Thailand
where anything could happen. Rung unconvincingly, assured
me it would be alright but my instincts told me otherwise.
So far, other than the sheets of rain that were falling,
the lousy pot-holed mountain road and our driver’s
less than expert motoring skills, the first four hours had
been uneventful, except Rung hadn’t spoken two words. I
couldn’t help but think
things weren’t what they
seemed. Did Rung devise
some sort of scheme to
get rid of me? After all,
we had just paid cash
for a home in her name
and I only recently made
Rung the sole beneficiary
of both my will and life
insurance policy. Surely I
was just being paranoid.
Or was I? No, my imagination
was just running wild.
But what about Rung’s
choice of driver and her
unusual behavior today,
could she really be capable
of such a thing?
At the tiny hamlet
where we stopped for
Page 32 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
petrol, my suspicions got the best of me. I dragged Rung
behind the restrooms and demanded to know what was
going on. She could barely look me in the eye and when she
did she was practically in tears. Finally, while biting her lip,
she stammered, “Tilac me sorry. Driber, him not cousin me.
Him mafia. Papa me stupid, him drunk. Him happy I marry
hubsban hab big money. Papa no hab to worry me poor
when old an him speak to uncle if you die, money come me.
Anoder man listen papa an tell ‘Mafia Man’. Mafia Man kidnap
real cousin me baby. Him speak baby die unless I bring
hubsban me here so him can kill. After I gib money you him,
him gib baby back. Tilac please help. Do what Mafia Man
say, okay? Not worry, papa, uncle, broder and cousin me
make idea. You not die --- sure.”
Suddenly, the idyllic picture that I imagined, of me
fishing with Rung’s relations on a quiet river near her village
was destroyed by what I’d heard and was replaced by the
unsettling image of this backwater behemoth, who’s brain
was likely lodged somewhere deep in the lightless tunnel
of his rectum, who was just waiting to wedge a monkey-wrench
between the cogs of my life --- stopping them
permanently!!! But before I could ask Rung about their ‘idea’,
Mafia Man motioned it was time to go. Terrific I thought,
now my life was in the hands of Rung’s family.
As we drove higher into the hills, the storm clouds
darkened, the rain fell harder, the rainforest loomed ominously
overhead, Rung sat silently, I contemplated dying,
the vehicle skidded to a halt and Mafia Man turned with a
malevolent grin on his ugly face and hissed, “Get out.”
In the pouring rain, I took a few irresolute steps across
the incredibly long mud-puddle that passed for a road,
towards the dripping jungle, while Mafia Man produced
a bottle partially filled with some syrupy concoction with
chunks of crud floating in it. The greenish-brown liquid
appeared to be the bodily fluids from a very sick and very
old buffalo, but it was probably some tribal shaman’s local
poison. He thrust the half-empty container towards me and
snarled, “Drink, I want to be rich and you to die.” Behind him,
Rung smiled weakly, nodded encouragement and gave me
a half-hearted thumbs-up. The best I could do under the circumstances
was mutter, “Yeah, well I want to win the lottery
and be ten years younger but I think we’re both going to be
disappointed.” He backhanded me and screamed, “Drink or
you both die!” If I believed in God, I would have said a prayer
but I didn’t, so I cursed this greedy Thai bastard instead,
crossed my fingers and drank his highland-hootch. Within
seconds I folded like a cheap rental chair at a backyard wedding.
I’m not sure how long I was under the arresting spell
of his rancid-rotgut but when I came to, my stomach felt
Submit your FREE classified with pictures at:
PLEASE - SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS
like it was twisted in a vise, my throat burned, my head was
pounding dangerously and I couldn’t move a muscle. As I
lay frozen, helplessly watching the heavy raindrops splash
into the mud, I began to feel the rest of my senses slowly
coming to life like a computer booting up programs. Then
I noticed Rung in tears, handing over my will, life insurance
policy and the deed to our home to this deranged dirt-bag.
Precisely at that moment, four Thai policemen appeared
from nowhere with guns drawn. As Mafia Man
comprehended this new development, a look of complete
bewilderment played across his face like a dog whose master
moved a ball from one hand to another too quickly. Then
panic kicked in and he launched into some fairy-tale about
self defense and me robbing him. In my weakened mental
capacity, I actually wondered, would they believe the shit he
was shoveling?
From my angle down in the mud all I could see was the
back of the police captain slapping Mafia Man and verbally
bludgeoning him with a fusillade of angry Thai words. Of
course, I didn’t understand a thing but I imagined it was
something like, “Shut-up! If you want to leave here with your
balls still attached to your body, you will confess!” After that
Mafia man started to spin a different story that came apart
like wet tissue paper under the shrewd captain’s interrogation.
This earned him another beating. Foolishly, the idiot
then went into survival mode and pushed the captain aside
in an attempt to escape. After all four officers were done, he
was bleeding, unconscious and his face looked like one of
those bloody, bruised and misshapen, latex masks that you
see at Halloween.
Eventually, the tough captain came over all smiles and
asked, in perfect English, “Did you enjoy the taste of our
country moonshine? I made it myself. We’ll drink some more
tonight --- minus today’s special ingredient.” “What kind of
special ingredient knocked me out so fast?” I croaked. Another
smile, “Sleeping pills.” “Were they for elephants,” I queried.
But before he could answer, Rung appeared with the
remaining officers in tow and tenderly spoke, “You habn’t
met my papa, uncle, broder or cousin yet, hab you tilac?”

VISA PLUS
Well, this has been a busy month in terms of
changes and non-changes to immigration
procedure. Firstly, on the 19th December the
government introduced charges for appeals
against UK visa refusals. Visa applicants for
settlement visas and family visit visas who have had their application
refused, and wish to appeal against the decision, will now
have to pay a fee. An appeal heard on “papers” ( that is, with
no representative present at the hearing ) will cost 80 GBP, and
an “oral” hearing ( with a representative present) will cost 140
GBP. The government has already said that these charges will be
raised regularly. In addition, it will no longer be possible to submit
an appeal at the Embassy where the application was made.
The appeal will have to be submitted in the UK, either by post,
fax, or online. Payment of the appeal fee will have to be made at
the same time, either by bank draft or credit card.
There were concerns that when charges were introduced
for appeals, then the right of appeal against the refusal of family
visit visa would be ended. This hasn’t happened, and the
government reasoning on this is that someone who has been
refused a family visit visa probably won’t appeal as the cost of
the appeal ( 80 GBP ) is greater than the cost of re-applying ( 76
GBP).
One good thing, if there is a good thing, is that the appeal
judge can award costs. So, if the appeal is allowed ( that means
if the judge says that the UKBA decision was wrong ) then the
judge can award the costs of the appeal against the UKBA. I
don’t think that the UKBA will want to start paying costs for
losing appeals, so I’m hoping that it will concentrate the visa
officers’ minds a little more, and get them to make better decisions
initially.
One major concern in these new procedures is how the refusal
decision will be reviewed. At the moment, when an appeal
against a refusal decision is submitted ( currently by submitting
the appeal at the Embassy in Bangkok) a review mechanism is
started. The refusal decision must be reviewed by an Entry Clearance
Manager before it is allowed to proceed to appeal in the
UK, and the decision to refuse a visa can be overturned at this
stage. With the new procedure, that allows the appeal to be
submitted only in the UK, It seems that the applicant will have
to pay the appeal fee ( in the UK ) before any review can be done
at the refusing Embassy. This seems to be seriously disadvantaging
the applicant, as well as adding considerable time to the
whole review process. We are waiting to hear how the UKBA
intend to deal with this.
Secondly, the long awaited High Court judgment on English
language testing has been released. The High Court has said
that they see no discrimination in the language requirement,
nor do they see that the requirement contravenes the right to
E-Mail: pattayatrader@pattayatrader.com
family life ( Sections 8 and 12 of the European Convention on Human
Rights). The High Court Judge did say, at one point :
“ the requirement to have passed a pre-entry English language
test did interfere with the couple’s article 8 rights to a family
life but this was justified in the interests of promoting integration
and protecting public services.”
I’m not entirely sure of the logic in that statement. The
number of spouses/partners entering the UK with a visa each year
is around 50,000, I think. But, the number of legal migrants from
the EU, and the number of asylum applicants is, I believe, in the
hundreds of thousands, and there is no requirement for them ever
to speak English or integrate. It does look a little bit like the easy
targets are being penalised by the government.
The judgment is long, and should you want to read it, you
can find it here –
http://www.judiciary.gov.uk/Resources/JCO/Documents/
Judgments/chapti-others-judgment.pdf
I think that there might be a further challenge in the European
courts, but they probably won’t be successful as the language
requirement has, I believe, already been tested in the courts in
Europe.

Thailand’s Contribution to the Land Campaigns of the United
Nations in the Korean War
In the early hours of a rainy Sunday, 25 June 1950, heavily
armed military units from the Democratic People’s Republic
of Korea (North Korea) launched an invasion of the
Republic of Korea (South Korea). The action heralded the
beginning of a protracted conflict that was to last for just
over three years.
Two days later, as the
South Korean (ROK) defence
forces crumbled and fell back,
the UN Security Council met in
hurried session and agreed to
‘…furnish such assistance to
the Republic of Korea as may be
necessary to repel the armed
attack and to restore international
peace and security to the
area.’ By-passing Congress,
US President Harry Truman ordered
the commander-in-chief
of the Far East, General Douglas
Macarthur, to provide whatever
assistance was needed to repel
the North Korean invasion. By
referring to the conflict as a ‘police action’ instead of a full-blown
‘war’, Truman was able, under the articles of the US Constitution,
to justify his direct intervention rather than wait for Congress to
give its assent.
American forces based in occupied Japan were airlifted
into South Korea and went into action for the first time on 5 July.
Outnumbered and outgunned, the small South Korean army and
the US forces fought delaying actions, aiming to gain the necessary
time for more US reinforcements to arrive and for other UN
member states to commit troops to the battlefield.
US President G. Ford

By Duncan Stearn
Britain was the first nation to agree to join the US in Korea,
followed in rapid succession by Australia, France, Canada, and New
Zealand. The first forces from these nations began arriving in southern
Korea in late August.
On 20 July 1950, following a late-night meeting lasting more
than three hours by the members
of the Defence Board of
Thailand, an agreement was
reached to offer a 4,000-strong
contingent to support the UN
effort. Prime Minister Pibul
Songgram was quoted as saying,
“Only by fast and decisive
action can we cope with the
critical situation all over Asia.”
This was an oblique reference
to the recent fall of China to
the Communists as well as the
on-going revolts against French
rule in Vietnam and Laos and
the largely expatriate Chinese
insurgency in Malaya.
That April, the United
States had allocated more than $10 million worth of arms and other
military equipment specifically designed to combat the so-called
‘communist menace’. Money was also allocated for the construction
of highways, especially for the north-east region of Thailand. This
allocation further brought Thailand into the American sphere of
influence, despite the large numbers of Chinese immigrants who
made up a high proportion of the Thai population.
Thailand’s first measure of support for South Korea had come
on 30 June when she sent four tonnes of rice as a goodwill gesture.
The UN and US officially accepted Thailand’s offer off troops
for Korea on 16 August, the first by an Asian nation. Significantly,
Thailand’s offer gave the lie to a claim by the Soviet Union that only
Page 36 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
European countries would send soldiers to fight in Korea. The Thai
ambassador to the United States, Prince Wan Waithayakon ( Pictured
directly below ) stated Thai forces were being committed “to
defend the cause of peace, freedom and justice. Aggression must
be stopped in Korea, or anywhere else, otherwise small nations will
fall.” Although he stated Thai soldiers would be sent as soon as possible,
it would be almost two months before the first troops were
ready to embark.
In September, the Philippines joined the UN coalition, becom-
ing the first Asian country to put its soldiers on the ground
in Korea. The coalition eventually encompassed 16 nations,
with South Africa, the Netherlands, Greece, Belgium,
Luxembourg, Ethiopia, Turkey and Colombia, committing
troops to the United Nations Command (UNC), as the intervention
force was known. Additionally, Denmark, India,
Norway and Sweden provided medical units and Italy,
although not a member of the UN, supplied a hospital.
A newspaper report filed by the AAP-Reuter correspondent
in Bangkok suggested the imminent arrival of
the Thai Expeditionary Force (TEF) should ‘not be underrated’
claiming the Thais would ‘likely [prove] a first-class
small-arms fighting unit.’ The reporter noted the UN could
expect a Thai soldier to possess three qualities: ‘imagination,
patriotism, and personal bravery.’ It was noted the TEF
was a voluntary force and ‘when the government called for
4,000 men, 14,000 volunteered within a fortnight.’ Among
those volunteers was Prince Chalermpol, who was assigned the
rank of a captain in the infantry.
A small advance force of Thai troops arrived in Japan on
12 October. Eight days later a ceremony for 1,200 Thai infantrymen
took place in Bangkok with a parade down Ratchadamnoen
Avenue, reviewed by Army Commander-in-Chief General Phin
Choonhavan. The commander told his men Communism was a
menace which needed to be stopped, which is why Thai troops
were now on their way to help in the defence of South Korea. This
would be the first occasion Thai troops had served overseas since

the First World War.
The first contingent of Thai soldiers, designated the 21st
Infantry Regiment, arrived in South Korea on 7 November. The Thais
were initially assigned to the US 187th Airborne Regiment, then to
I Corps (December 1950), IX Corps (January 1951), the 1st Cavalry
Division (March 1951) and finally the 2nd Infantry Division (27
December 1951).
The Thai troops arrived during the coldest winter for two centuries.
Despite the intensely cold weather, Thai morale was boosted
by the arrival of 10 specialist cooks who provided traditional Thai
cuisine to the soldiers.
The Thais did not see action until almost four months after
their arrival. In cold conditions, this first combat took place on 28
February 1951 near Hoengsong on the central front. Assisting their
ROK allies, the Thai troops, led by Colonel Boriboon Chulacharita,
engaged the North Koreans in a two-hour battle. The Thais and ROK
soldiers attacked the North Koreans in a two-pronged assault. The
action ended with success, the Thais and ROK claiming 50 North
Koreans killed and dozens wounded. The Thais suffered one man
wounded.
While operating with the US 1st Cavalry Division, the Thai contingent
impressed their allies with a strong performance in action
Thai trops attend a wounded comrade
near Uijongbu,
some 30
kilometres northeast of Seoul. This was after the unofficial Chinese
entry into the war which saw UN forces hurled back from the North
Korea-China border. The action was prior to Seoul falling for the
second time.
A UN counter-offensive recovered Seoul and by the end of
April 1951 the front line was established and maintained around
the 38th Parallel, the pre-war boundary between the two Koreas.

Is this the scariest film ever?
Martyrs is being ranked as one of the scariest movies ever
made by virtually everyone who sees it. Martyrs is a French film,
originally released on September 3, 2008. The film is written and
directed by Pascal Laugier who also wrote and directed the thriller
Saint Ange, renamed House of Voices. Martyrs stars Morjana Alaoui
as Anna and Mylene Jampanoi as Lucie with support given by Catherine
Begin as Mademoiselle, Robert Toupin as Le pere, and Isabelle
Chasse as La Creature.
Martyrs begins with a flashback of a news report in
1971 where Lucie, as a young girl, escapes from
captivity and notifies police of her capture. There
is no evidence of any sexual abuse but Lucie bears
several injuries and shows signs of neglect. She is
able to lead police to an old slaughterhouse where she was held cap-

tive but otherwise she can’t
communicate because of the
trauma she has suffered. When
she is placed in a youth home
to live, Lucie is befriended by
Anna. Anna looks after Lucie
and eventually they become
best friends. Lucie, however, is
being stalked by a ghoul taking
the form of a thin, naked
woman with pale gray skin that
cuts and mutilates Lucie. Anna
is sworn to keep Lucie’s secret
about the shadowy creature.
The movie now transports
us 15 years ahead into 1986.
The Belford family is having another
early-morning argument.
As brother, Antoine, and sister,
Marie fight over a love note,
dad tries to make breakfast
while mom in out in the garden
fixing the water. Finally, breakfast
is ready and everyone sits
down to eat when the doorbell
rings. Dad goes to answer the
door only to discover that it’s
Lucie wielding a shotgun. Lucie
pulls the trigger, killing dad,
and proceeds to gruesomely
murder the rest of the family as
well. In the aftermath, Lucie is
again attacked by the creature.
She tries to explain that she did
her job by killing the family but
the creature doesn’t listen and
continues to attack Lucie.
Morjana Alaoui as anna
Mylène Jampanoï as
Lucie
Catherine Begin as Mademoiselle
Still friends, Lucie calls Anna for help. Anna arrives
at the address and asks if these are really the people that
kidnapped and tortured her those many years ago. Lucie
says that they were and she is sure of it. As Anna helps Lucie
bury the bodies, Lucie is attacked by the creature yet again.
Meanwhile, Anna discovers that the mother is not really
dead and tries to get her out of the house. Before she can
get out, Lucie discovers the mother and finishes the job
she started with a hammer. When the mother is dead, Lucie
cries out to the monster yet again in hopes that it is appeased.
Page 38 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
The creature seems
appeased at first and
embraces Lucie in a gentle
hug but soon the creature
begins to cut into her
arms. We are shown now
that Anna cannot see the
monster and an explosive
scene shows how Lucie is
the one making the cuts
on herself. Martyrs then
takes us into Lucie’s mind
to see that the creature is
actually another woman
who was kidnapped and
tortured with Lucie those
many years ago. When Lucie realizes this, she remembers
that she had an opportunity to save the
woman when she escaped but she didn’t. She left
the woman there to continue to be tortured. Later,
we find out what becomes of this other women.
At this point, Lucie is overcome with feelings of
remorse and kills herself with by slicing her own
throat.
Anna discovers Lucie’s body and cleans it up,
wrapping her in a clean cloth. Anna then begins to
attempt to clean up the house when she discovers
a secret tunnel behind a cabinet. Inside is a hidden
staircase that leads down into a large underground
torture chamber. The walls of the complex are
adorned with photos of suffering people. Inside

is a naked woman chained to the wall. A metal blindfold is secured to her head
with rivets. Anna frees the woman and takes her up the stairs. She tries to help
this woman and give her a bath, but the woman is completely out of her mind
and starts mutilating herself and tries to cut off her own arm.
The rest of the film continues in an even more gruesome fashion. The
final 30 minutes include some of the most intense scenes ever caught on film.
You will not only cringe in disgust but you may also retch and feel physically ill.
This is one film that pushes the envelope beyond anything you have ever seen
before. To be sure, Martyrs is not the goriest film ever made but the context and
the combination of sights, sounds, and mood works together to take you to
the edge. The idea that anyone in the real world can be so cruel and heartless is
challenged in Martyrs. These people seem real enough and make you think this
is more than someone’s fantasy. Martyrs finishes with a completely satisfying
ending. Satisfying, however, doesn’t mean you will be expecting it.
One of the best aspects of Martyrs is its originality. Most other modern horror
movies all seem to be just variations on the same thing and once one catches
an audience, like Saw, it is done to death until everyone is sick of it. Although
it seems rushed by this description, Martyrs is actually paced well. Editing work
with different camera angles also helps to create the overall mood of the movie.
Some of the final shots in the movie
turn out to be some of the best and are
executed like a well-written poem.
Martyrs is definitely not for everyone.
The movie is disturbing to be sure.
For those that like to have their notions
about the world challenged, this
is a film that accomplishes just that.
However, the world you are introduced
to is one that you are not sure you are
better off knowing or not.

Another tale from the prolific pen
of Mike Bell.
He left school at fifteen on Friday July 20th
and started work in a Sheffield steel factory
the following Monday. In the blink of
an eye he had married, become the father
of two, divorced and retired. He had spent
nearly fifty years working to the sound of the steam hammer.
The five ton hammer crashed down on the ingots of iron every
minute of every day until the factory closed and it was this that
sent Tony to Thailand, as he put it to his children, ‘for a bit of
peace and quiet.’ He didn’t find it in Pattaya.
Wherever he lodged, the beat of the bass reverberated in
his head. He had thought Thais were shy and retiring people;
polite and respectful to others. In many ways they were until
the music started. Then they would turn up the bass and the
volume to deafening levels. Tony could hear cars approaching
his window a half a mile away, their windscreens trembling with
the resonance from inside. Bars would pump it up till the early
hours and sleep would finally overwhelm him in blessed relief.
His new wife, Lek, couldn’t comprehend the size of the
problem. To her, music was ‘sanook.’ The lateness of the hour
mattered not if they could sleep late in the morning. She’d set
about educating Tony in Thai-ness as soon as they were married.
She taught him the futility of bad temper. Violent and
rude gestures, prolonged sounding of the horn might just
result in the Thai version of road-rage involving the next set of
traffic lights and a gun.

Anthology can be purchases on Amazon as a
Kindle down-load. Alternatively by downloading
the FREE software, you can get the book
as an e-book. The price is $10 - the title is ‘Thai
Tales’.
Mike has also released his collection of
funny articles, some of which were published
in Pattaya One and Pattaya Daily News. Entitled

to Pattaya’, these can also be purchased in the
same way as above.
A BITTER PEACE
AND QUIET
In his turn Tony tried to explain the effect of a steam hammer
assailing his ear-drums three times a minute for nigh on
fifty years. She could not comprehend the concept of shellshock.
Doctors often suggest that prolonged exposure to loud
music could cause deafness in later life. They never suggest
that noise might leave you more sensitive in your final years. So
they moved to Bang Saray.
It was everything Tony could have hoped for. The up-market
estate was four hundred metres from the traffic noise on
Sukhumvit. High walls insulated the houses from the bustle
of life outside. The estate’s Juristic rules forbade building work
before 9 am and after 6 pm. Even the birds seemed apologetic
about their morning chorus.
Lek, initially skeptical about the move away from shops,
learned to appreciate it. The local Market was three times a
week. The secluded beach was four minutes away and only
ever busy on Sunday. Her life was filled with contentment,
particularly at the change that had come over her husband: he
seemed to float in a pocket of silence; a bubble of serenity. It
lasted nearly a year.
Any sizable living organism attracts parasites: hippos get
birds to feed off tics in their ears; sharks get remora fish to flit
in and out of their mouths cleaning their teeth. Sixty farang
houses were bound to create a symbiotic relationship with the
local community. First came the itinerant food-sellers peddling
som-tam to the residents’ wives. Next came an enterprising
laundry lady who set up a corrugated iron shack to provide
washing and ironing facilities. Then came a hairdresser, a
Mecca for gossip-exchange. Tony minded none of this. They all
kept the peace.
Page 40 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
Then building began on an edifice not fifty metres from
their wall. Rumour had it was going to be a smart Italian
restaurant; a Travel agent; a copy shop; a bar with pool tables.
Tony feared the worst at this latter. In fact, when it came, it was
worse than his most horrible imaginings. There isn’t a word in
English to describe what it was. A Convention centre doesn’t
do it justice. It was a place for ceremonies; funerals, youths entering
the monkhood, wedding receptions, a place for the local
youth to practice producing discordant music at full volume.
The weekends, in particular became hell on earth for
Tony. Saturday nights seemed to be disco or worse, karaoke
nights. Drunken would-be Tata Youngs would warble shrilly off
key. The DJ’s offered some respite haranguing people excitedly
at the top of their voices, but then the boom of the bass sent
tremors through the marital bed. He tried ear-plugs; he tried
whiskey. He even tried sleeping nights away.
Sunday mornings would begin at 6am with the dirge like,
tuneless drum and base signifying a religious ceremony. He
even began to look forward to the moment when these instruments
ceased, to be replaced by the monotony of the chanting
monks. Tony wasn’t alone in his misery. Dougie, a neighbour
had snapped one Saturday night. Afterwards he said he’d only
gone round to ask the proprietor to turn the bass down. His
attempts to smash the speakers had resulted him being given
a good beating by Surapong, the proprietor and twenty of his
customers. Tony put his house on the market.
There were no buyers at any price. Farangs, in the know,
wouldn’t touch the house. Even reducing the house to Thai
price brought no interest. Lek explained, Thais were reluctant
to buy second hand houses lest the previous owner had died
there and the property came complete with ghost. Tony tried
one last throw of the dice.
Surapong watched the farang with suspicion. He didn’t
like them. They were in his country yet they came telling him
Submit your FREE classified with pictures at:
PLEASE - SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS
what to do about making money. They did not realize how
much the bank demanded on the loan for the buildings and
fittings. He was not complaining, another two years at this rate
and he would be home free. This farang appeared drunk or
drugged. All night he had raved, dancing in reckless abandon,
waving his arms about, sweating, showing off in front of his
young wife. It was dangerous behaviour at his age.
Even as the thought crossed his mind, the farang collapsed.
He clutched his chest in pain and fell heavily to the
floor. His wife cradled his head in her lap, imploring someone
to phone an ambulance. Though it arrived within ten minutes,
it was obvious to all that it was too late. The farang had shuddered
and trembled on the floor and then simply died.
His body had been claimed by his children to be buried in
England, Lek tearfully told a crowded hairdresser’s. He had left
her the house and car. His pension would enable her continue
to live here. She saw his face every where she went. She heard
his voice calling for her in the night. He had died happy on
Surapong’s premises; she would never forget that night or the
place; the exact spot right in the middle of Surapong’s dance
hall. The first two Saturday nights, she visited, laying a lotus
flower on the ground. People danced round the flower at a
distance.
Within two months, Surapong was forced to close. Business
dropped like a stone. No one wanted a visitation from
Tony’s ghost. The owner of the laundry made a derisory offer
on the building and to her surprise it was accepted. Peace
returned to Bang Saray and so did Tony.
Tony didn’t enjoy his enforced, long holiday in England,
visiting friends and family. The weather was cold; prices were
expensive and, above all else, he said, “the place was just too
noisy”.

DAYS OUT
Mekong Delta
This month we take a trip down Vietnam’s Mekong Delta.
Less than a two-hour flight away, it’s a quiet and relaxing way to
spend a few days.
Getting there: Take a flight to HCMC. From there, buses
leave regularly for My Tho, the gateway to the Delta. Once in
the Delta, a network of buses and tour companies make it pretty
simple to get around.
The mighty Mekong river empties its vast waters into
southern Vietnam, creating patchwork collection of
fields and waterways. Exploring the towns that sit
around the massive Delta reveals a collection of friendly
locals who are proud of their unique culture, food and
rituals.
After the Mekong flows from the Tibetan
Plateau it travels 4,500km through China, Burma,
Laos, Thailand and Cambodia before finally
reaching Vietnam. One of the world’s truly great
rivers, it then diverges as it meets southern
Vietnam’s lowlands, creating the Mekong Delta.
Exploring the Delta doesn’t mean you
need to do it all by boat. Good bus links and
several new bridges mean transport is easier
than ever. Such convenience is making it a
popular destination for local and foreign visitors.
That said, many towns are still to feel the
impact of such development, and so still have
to contend with pot-holed roads.
If you come here, chances are you will land
in My Tho. It’s not much of a centerpiece, but it
Issue 136 - February 2012
For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng)
does have a pleasant waterfront. In the
evening, locals stroll along here, teenagers
hurl themselves into the water off
the top of boats and food hawkers sell
delicious fried snacks on a stick.
When it comes to things to do
here, options are limited. There is a
large tourist information centre half
way along the main drag, where a
handful of tour companies can offer
help. We found Tieng Giang Tourist
(www.tiengiangtourist.com) to
be pretty helpful. If you want a more
personalized tour, it’s often cheaper to
hire the freelance drivers who can be
found around town. Walk for more than
10 minutes and one will approach, you
offering to help. One such guide, Mr Ty,
was excellent value (mobile: 01 6961
71757).
The perfect place to sit in such
a sleepy town is Lac Hong, a seriously
retro place with saxophones and classic vinyl stuck to the walls.
Elsewhere, there is a 100-year-old Catholic church and there is the
impressive Vinh Trang Pagoda, the largest of its kind in the province.
It’s worth a visit to see the mix of French, Khmer and Vietnamese
styles.
Most of the attractions here are off-shore, though. A series of
islands can easily be visited by taking out a boat for half or full-day
trips. Known as the ‘Coconut Islands’ they contain several touristy
stop-offs – tours round here are pretty slick and well organized.
The dense collection of coconut trees gives the islands its names
and results in some sweet desserts, made with sticky rice, that can’t
be found anywhere else in Vietnam.
A new bridge in My Tho
opened in 2008 and meant
nearby Ben Tre suddenly got
visitors. Ben The gives a far
more authentic slice of Delta
life, with rice fields, chickens
getting right of way on the
roads and small village huts.
Locals are slowly catching on to
its appeal and many now offer
homestays in basic accommodation.
They will often take
visitors out fishing for the day
before returning home for a
dinner and evening around the
karaoke machine.
In the centre of Ben Tre
(which isn’t saying much), there is a novel museum,
complete with anti-US rhetoric and a giant
crocodile skull. Entry is free.
Our favourite spot on the Delta is Vinh Long,
a town with heavy French influence and charm.
About 40 km from My Tho, Vinh Long has its own
islands that can be explored on half-day excursions.
Fruit farms sit all around these islands, making
it a great place to stop off and sample some
of the foods on offer. If you want to head inland,
bicycles can be provided for as little as $3 a day.
Further west sits Tra Vinh, a town heavily
influenced by the Khmer (a large population of
Khmer folk still lives near here). This makes for
interesting-looking temples and local food. Elsewhere,
Can Tho Province has a modern eponymous
main town and a good handful of attractions.
Best of these is the Can Tho Museum, which is free and gives
Submit your FREE classified with pictures at:
PLEASE - SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS
a good explanation of what local life is like here. Best
of all though is the main market, which is filled with
fresh fruit, while the seafront restaurants are good, if
you fancy a dish of snake or turtle.
The other main draw in the Delta is very different
from everything else there. Phu Quoc Island is a fastdeveloping
haven for gamblers, as giant casinos are
opening. It’s also a pleasant beach resort, with 150km
of sandy coastline. It has a chequered history – the
French occupied the island in the 19th century and
opened a prison there – but today it is better known
for its luxurious resorts. The old prison is actually an attraction
in its own right. Displays of torture equipment
and stories of prisoners who tried to escape make it
worth a look.
Phu Quoc still retains a largely serene, natural feel
thanks to a local population
that has lived there for generations.
For a classy souvenir,
Treasures From the Deep
(www.treasuresfromthedeep.
com ) tells the story of the
high-quality pearls that are
sold here, along with a story
about how local people have
collected them.
The Delta has a whole
heap of attractions ready to be
explored and now is the time to
go, before they build even more
bridges and make it too easy to
get around.

TRIP TO CHIANG MAI
Page 44
Article kindly submitted by Wilson
In two parts - Part 1
The New Year was looming, and I had the choice of
staying in Pattaya, or heading off elsewhere to see
the old year out. My recent trip to Chiang Mai had
been Ok but left many things undone, so I decided
to rectify this and revisit the area.
About a week before, I went to Bangkok to book the train,
and managed to get almost the last tickets available for both the
outward and return journeys. On my return to Pattaya, I found that
the hotel I usually stay at to be fully booked and it took a couple
of hours of trawling the ‘net’ before I found a place that had a
vacancy.
Arriving at Hua Lamphong station on the evening of 30th
December, it seemed like the whole of Bangkok was on the move
for the holiday period. The 19.35 train to Chiang Mai should
have left from Platform 3, but standing there in its place was a
train that took you back in time to the days of luxury train travel,
‘The Eastern and Orient Express’ bound for Singapore via Kuala
Lumpur , The rear portion of the last carriage had open sides as
an observation car, walking alongside the train revealed palatial
wood panelled compartments and a dining car , tables complete
with lamps, silver cutlery, cut glass wine goblets and Champagne
buckets. At least six chefs in tall hats were preparing what must
have been a feast of culinary delights, for those aboard. One can
only imagine the cost of travelling in the decadent and luxurious
style of an age gone by.
Issue 136 - February 2012

For those merely mortals like
myself, we were herded to platform
6, to which our ‘Special Express’ had
been diverted. At 19.35, the time it
was due to depart, it arrived at the
platform for us to board, having
located our allocated upper bunks,
we awaited for our ‘Express’ to depart,
which it did an hour late. The initial
part of our journey was more like a
commuter train than an ‘Express’ as it
lumbered slowly along with frequent
stops, although none of them at a
station. The lights in the sleeping car
were left blazing all night, despite
each bunk having individual lighting.
The arrival time according to the
timetable was 8.45am, but of course
this was never going to be achievable
given our delayed departure. Two
hours out from Chiang Mai at 10am,
travelling through the jungle on an
upgrade, the train got slower and slower until we came to a halt, it
seems that the engine did not have enough power to get us over
the incline, and so we began to move in reverse, all the way back
to the last station where a ‘down train’ could pass, and a second
engine summoned from Lampang to help get us up and over the
hill. Having eventually overcome this obstacle the ‘Express’ arrived
at its destination at 1.15pm , some four and a half hours late. Having
phoned ahead to the hotel to advise of our impending late
arrival, we were told not to worry, as the train frequently doesn’t
arrive until 4pm!!. One wonders at the wisdom of giving an arrival
time at all, as we were informed that it never arrives on schedule
anyway.
After checking in at the hotel, the next priority was to hire
a motorbike, but again it seemed the world and its wife wanted
to do the same and it was some three hours before we located a
renter with a motorcycle. At 1000Bt for four days hire, I considered
it expensive, especially as I’d just returned a motorcycle I’d had on
hire in Pattaya which had cost me 3,000Bt for six weeks.
In the evening we visited the Night Bazaar, (top picture
next page) like every market in Thailand, the items on offer are
the same, the only difference being the name on the ‘T’ shirts,
which of course in this case was ‘Chiang Mai’. It being New Years
Eve, we walked to the moat and City Walls, which encircle it, and
were fortunate to find a concrete bench to sit upon. The sky was
full of ‘floating lanterns’, obviously being released from all parts
of the City and its surrounds. On the other side of the ‘moat’ we
watched as revellers, lit and released lanterns, some unsuccessfully
as they became entrapped in the trees on their journey
skywards. Fireworks were being set off all the time, and all around
us by individuals, some of which exploded prematurely causing
those in the immediate vicinity
to scatter. Nearby where
we were sitting, a busker
played ‘Old Lang Syne’ on a
Saxophone accompanied by a
passer by on a ‘penny whistle’.
At midnight and our entry into
the New year, the sky exploded
as fireworks from all around the
City were propelled into the air,
it was like being in the centre
of a 360 degree display and accompanied
by the noise of artillery
fire. Eventually we made
our way back to the hotel along
streets littered with the remnants
of spent pyrotechnics .

it appeared that most of The author of the article, Wilson and his

Pattaya, made short shrift of the traffic problems with various
undertaking, overtaking, and straight down the middle manoeuvres,
although I imagine that some of those in gridlocked vehicles
would have taken several hours to reach their destination. We had
some respite from traffic congestion for about fifteen kilometres,
before encountering more traffic jams some three kilometres
from the Temple, negotiating these was a little more difficult due
to the road being quite steep in places and having many hairpin
bends, but all was overcome and we arrived a little over an hour
from setting off. To get to the Temple, one has to climb some three
hundred steps, difficult enough under normal circumstances,
but even more so given the volume of visitors
moving both up and down, plus the number of children
in ‘costume’ sitting on the stairs at regular intervals hoping
to have their picture taken, and receive a ‘tip’ for their
trouble.
After having escaped the throngs at the Temple, we
continued onward and upward along the twisting mountain
road to Bhubing Palace, where the Royal Family stays
during seasonal visits. The gardens are beautifully laid
out with all manner of colourful blooms and plants. The
‘water reservoir’ contains the ‘Fountain of Celestial Water
of People’, at all areas of the gardens,
tranquil music is playing, giving a
relaxing feeling to the whole experience.
Still continuing up further
into the mountains we came to Doi
Pui Mong Hill Tribe village, (bottom
picture) sustained by tourism
there were many opportunities to
purchase local crafts at a considerable
discount for the same items
in the City, visitors could also hire
traditional costumes at 30Bt each, to
wear during their visit, and of course
be photographed in, mainly by the
waterfall, and in the gardens which
are also a feature of the village.
Our return journey to the
hotel, whilst again encountering
considerable traffic was a little easier
and enabled us to arrive back before
darkness fell.

Exploring Pattaya & Beyond
It is common for Western companies and governments to
pay an additional compensation to staff for the “hardship”
of being posted abroad. I have always thought that one
of the great scams of the ages for eligible employees.
I mean, seriously, working and living in Hong Kong or
Tokyo or Rio or Buenos Aires is a hardship?
But since moving first to Thailand and then eventually to
Cambodia, I’ve had to rethink my position – and my understanding
of hardship.
You see, our cable TV network, which originates in Thailand,
does not carry games of the National Football League, the NFL,
the crowning glory of American football.
The rest of the world may well scoff at our National Game.
In well over a decade of living in the Philippines, Thailand,
and now Cambodia I’ve come to respect and even enjoy “real”
football. It can, indeed, be a “beautiful game:” I even recently
watched a Bundesliga match and found it well played and competitive!
BUT. No NFL? At all? Not even one game weekly? Now, that
is a hardship.
Page 46
Issue 136 - February 2012
This topic came to mind last night while reading a series of
blog posts written a year ago and more by a young Canadian
man who’d said he’d come to Cambodia to work as an unpaid
volunteer English teacher at a village near Siem Reap.
After two months in-country he wrote the first of a series of
posts excoriating all things Khmer. They were all
stupid, lazy, corrupt, dangerous, and rude. Former
Khmer Rouge goons roamed the countryside
raping and murdering with impunity, sadists
in saffron robes. And it didn’t take a careful reading-between-the-lines
to catch his meaning. He
wrote it literally as reported above. Well, not the
line about sadists in saffron robes – that’s mine.
∞
So outrageous, racist, arrogant and stupid
were his remarks that reading them make me
remember having made similar remarks about
Filipinos during my decade-plus-living there.
Such comments were both common and unchallenged
among foreigners living in the Philippines.
I also remembered hearing the same kind
of slurs about Thais in the two years I lived there.
Wow! Was I – were we – all such assholes that we
would slander an entire people because some
(OK, maybe many) of them did us wrong?
So it appears.
∞
Which leads to the next obvious question: Why are we
here? No, no, not “what does it all mean?” Why have we foreigners
chosen to live in places with cultures so – well, foreign to our
For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng)
own?
Unless you work in a multinational company or big NGO
and get that cushy hardship stipend (in which case the answer
is obvious and you need read no further) the answer is likely
somewhat complex.
Because you can live much better on your retirement check
here than you can back home. Because you think back home

has gone all to hell. Because you still crave a sex life unavailable
back home. Because it feels good to help a hardworking, impoverished
people dig and claw their way up from inherited misery.
Because you like the weather. Likely you’d check more than one
of the above. For me, it’s all the above.
∞
Actually, I haven’t had any cultural issues with Khmer
people in the year-plus that we’ve lived here. Well, other than the
hideous noise they blast at obscene volume whenever there’s a
wedding or funeral. But everybody – including Khmers – hates
that. The other big issue I have with local folk is their just awful
driving habits, but I understand that they’ve had no driver training
and the police don’t enforce any traffic laws (except the one
requiring motorbike drivers to wear helmets, and that’s enforced
strictly to extort bribes).
Which incidentally leads to an unrelated observation:
Almost all Khmer motorbike riders in Siem Reap wear helmets. It
seems that law enforcement does work.
There’s really only one ethnic group that I just can’t get
along with. No, not Russians. And no, not Indians. French.
Is there a more smug, arrogant, rude race on earth? Not
that I know of. I had to actually throw one French couple out of
our restaurant not long ago for accusing us of watering our fresh
coconuts. That’s right, they accused us of refilling coconut shells
with water. To beat them out of the $1 we charge for a fresh
coconut.
We were deeply offended that they thought we’d cheat
them - for $1. Now, if it was $100, I’d consider it. But $1? Damn
frogs. Where’s the gratitude? Le Grand Royale my ass. They’re Big
Macs, dammit!
∞
And what’s with this
crap of eating baked beans
with breakfast? But I’ll save
that for another day…
∞
Anyway, here’s hoping
that 2012 will be a healthy,
peaceful, and prosperous
year for us all. And for all our
Khmer, Thai, and Filipino
neighbors, as well.

PCEC Meeting – Monthly Review – December 2011
The Pattaya City Expats Club (PCEC) meets every Sunday at Amari Orchid Resort’s The Tavern by the Sea Restaurant at the northern end
of Pattaya Beach Road. For more information regarding not only the PCEC Sunday meetings, but also the large number of mid-week activities,
visit the Club’s website at www.pattayacityexpatsclub.com. The website also has useful information about living in Thailand and about Thai
immigration and visa requirements. If you would like a copy of the Club’s weekly Newsletter emailed to you, you can subscribe by visiting the
Club’s website.
The meeting atmosphere is always relaxed, informal and friendly with everyone being welcome. The format of the meeting is similar each
week. There is usually a guest speaker, sometimes more than one, on topics of interest to Expats. In addition to announcement of forthcoming
events in and around Pattaya, the Open Forum, which follows the regular program, is always a lively and entertaining session, when questions
can be asked or information exchanged about Expat living in Thailand and Pattaya in particular. If you weren’t there, here are the highlights of
the meetings for each Sunday in December 2011 – the Club’s Newsletter on their website contains a more detailed description of the presentations
On December 4, the guest speaker was Michael Flinn, (Pictured
below) a life-long scholar in the history and development
of human consciousness,
religion, art, civilization and
human behaviour. Michael
started his presentation by
explaining how he got into
art and philosophy. After
he graduated in 1964, he
travelled to Europe where
he had the opportunity to
study architecture and the
works of the great philosophers.
He then explained
how this led to his studies
on the consciousness of
man; becoming self aware. He concluded that no matter how
much you study human consciousness, you still will not really
gain an understanding of the imponderable.
Old landmines and explosive remnants of war continue
to kill and maim people today. This was the message at the
PCEC’s Sunday, December
11 meeting. The Club
welcomed two representatives
of the Mine
Action Department of
the Norwegian People’s
Aid organization. Mr. Lee
Moroney, (Pictured alongside)
Program Manager in
Thailand and Mr. Jan Erik
in Cambodia described
their assistance to those
two countries in getting
rid of this old explosive ordinance left over from past wars. They
pointed out that in both Thailand and Cambodia; the primary effort
is to reclaim land for habitation and use. Consequently, they
give priority to such areas rather than clearing known mined
areas where the land has no suitable use.
The third Sunday, December 18, the Club had its Christmas
celebration. (Pictures next page) During the past three years, it
has been almost standing room only when the Children’s Choir
from Pattaya Orphanage comes to the meeting to share the spirit
of Christmas. This year was no exception. Mrs. Radchada Chomjinda
(Khun Toy) from Pattaya Orphanage said it was a privilege
for the children from the Orphanage to be back again this year to
sing Christmas Carols for the Club. Several young ladies started
with a couple of dances, one traditional Thai and the other a bit
more modern. Then, about 50 children in choir robes came in and
sang several Carols. While they were singing “Santa Claus is Coming
to Town,” Santa appear ed with a bag full of goodies, which
he passed out to the smiling children while Khun Toy gave a brief
history on the Orphanage.
Movie making in the 1960’s was the topic at the Pattaya City
Expats Club meeting on Sunday, December 25. There were over
80 members and guests present on Christmas Day to hear Pattaya
resident Alfred Avallone, (Pictured below) talk about his career as
a Hollywood actor. He mentioned his studying at The American
Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York at the same time as many later
movie stars, such as Grace Kelly and Anne Bancroft. He explained
how he went from acting on the New York stage to acting in films
when he moved to Hollywood.
He described
some of the aspects of
Hollywood film making
and then presented
a video clip showing
him acting in the Blake
Edward’s movie “Experiment
in Terror” starring
Glenn Ford and Lee
Remick. He also commented
on some of the
differences between
movies and actors of
that period with movies
and actors of today.

One Beer too Many
Disclaimer. Any similarity to any person/s or events
you might have heard of are entirely coincidental. The
characters depicted in this story are figments of the author’s
imagination.
Taken from Les Abbey’s Soi Shanties
***********************************************
It was only a few beers into the afternoon session at Barry’s
bar but the conversation was about the one beer too
many, that when drunk causes a grown man to topple
over or perform some embarrassing misdeed. It had probably
started because Robert, who had been in the bar
until late yesterday, but missing so far today, had made a bit of a
fool of himself last night.
Not that Robert had done that much according to Barry,
who had been talking with him right up until the moment that
Robert had yawned, closed his eyes, leant back on his stool and
then kept on going until hitting the floor. Barry had said that the
conversation was getting strange as he didn’t think himself and
Robert were talking about the same thing anymore. Tim asked
Barry how many beers Robert had drunk, but Barry wasn’t sure
except he had drunk less than half of the last beer Singha. Barry
also reminded the drinkers
that Robert still owed for his
bar bill.
Tim, a regular customer,
said “You can always
tell when Jon Slocum has
had too much. He always
drops his pants and dances
around the bar.”
Les followed that
with “Then again Tim the
fact that he always does it
should tell us a bit more
than that.”
“What do you mean
Les?” asked Tim.
“Well if he always does
it, you have to suspect that
it’s in his mind to start with.
The extra beer may give him courage, but he wants to expose
himself anyway. You know, he’s one of those exhibitionists. He has
to put on a show. If it wasn’t for us he would be flashing at some
little old lady in the street. In fact it wouldn’t surprise me if one
day we heard he had been arrested for that.”
“I wish he learned to play the guitar instead.” added Tim. “It’s
such an ugly site when he’s in full swing.”
“And it’s not as if he has that much to be proud of.” finished
Les to the accompaniment of laughter from the drinkers.
Pat Morrison started to tell his story. “A couple of months
ago I had one too many and it got me into some right trouble.”
he said. “I had just got in that evening from Libya via Rome and
had been drinking on the plane for the last few hours. I got a taxi
to the hotel, dropped off my bags and made my way to the Soi. I
stopped here first and had a beer didn’t I Barry?”
“That’s right.” answered Barry who started to grin.
“Said hello to you Les,” and turning Tim, said “and you too
Tim. I remember that.”
Both Les and Tim nodded
their assent.
“Then as always on a first
night in I walked down the
Soi to say my hellos and see
what’s new going on. I figured
I would find a girlfriend too.”
“So what happened?”
asked Tim.
“Well you have to remember
I was getting a bit
tired by then and that’s my
excuse. I had a couple beers
in various bars and then saw
a new bar had opened right
down the end. I thought I
have to go and check it out.
I could see the name board
said ‘Bullshooters’ and had a
picture of dartboard on it.”
Page 52 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
As Pat finished the last sentence there was laughter
from a few of the drinkers.
Pat continued “It’s OK you lot laughing but I
thought a game of darts is always fun with the bar
girls. I went through the door and it was a bit dark
inside. I thought I would sit down for a few minutes. A
nice looking girl came over and took my drink order,
but before it even came to the table I had dozed off.
Next thing I remember I’m being shaken awake and
another girl is telling me it’s throwing out time, two in
the morning. I asked for a fresh beer and whatever she
wanted to drink and off she went to get it.”
“So I’m coming too now and looking around
the bar. It’s still fairly crowded but I don’t recognize
anyone, customers or girls, which seemed unusual. I’m
thinking the bar owner must have gone upcountry
and got a whole bunch of new girls. So the girl comes
back with the beer and her drink, puts the new bill in
the cup and sits down with me. She chats away and
her English isn’t bad and I’m thinking I may have company
tonight.”
Pat takes a swallow of his beer.
One of the younger drinkers says “So go on Pat. I
can’t say I remember that bar.”
Barry answers. “No it didn’t last very long. It was
gone in a month.”
Pat picks up the story. “Well they didn’t seem
in that much of hurry to get the customers out and
we are chatting away. The girl, I think her name was
Submit your FREE classified with pictures at:
PLEASE - SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS
Joy, was asking me about my
hotel and I thinking well my
evening’s sorted. Then she
grabs my hand and puts it on
her lap. Now straight away I
realize that there something
very wrong here. I said to her,
‘Is that what I think it is?’ and
she gives a knowing smile and
nods her head. Then I start
to look around the bar again
and see that maybe the girls
Adam’s apples are a little too
large and when they talk just
maybe their voices are a wee
bit to low.”
Pat takes another gulp
of his beer but he knows he
has the audience in his hand
so he drags it out a few extra
seconds. “Well as the Sunday
tabloids used to say, ‘I made
my excuses and left’. What I was really worried about was seeing any of you
guys and having to explain I had been sleeping in the Bullshooters for three
hours and didn’t know what sort of bar it was, which I certainly didn’t I’ll have
you all know. Of course the bull’s eye the customers were shooting for had
nothing to do with darts.”
“You didn’t have an epiphany then Pat?” said Les.
“What does that mean Les?” asked Pat.
“You know, a conversion, like Saint Paul on the road to Damascus. As
our friend Tommy Tee used to say, ‘Once you had the real thing, women are
second best’.”

PATTAYA TRADER’S POET’S CORNER
Dear Reader.
With this months poetry I had a short message from Capn’ Mark back in UK. Seems he’s (like many
other young mn) unemployed. This of course gives him plenty of time to write such nice words as we
are fortunate enough to get to publish every month.
N
O-ZODIAC-SIGN-READER-CURE
Looking at the stars for far-too-long
you spy potatoes walking on the moon.
Your girlfriend the so-pale ghost
says the-men-in-white-coats will take
you soon,
while all my pals the fairy-folk
tell me you are doubtless a loon
and that next-door’s pet dragon
runs wild at the sounds from your room.
Pick-up your daily newspaper now
and go read your horoscope:
‘He who spies potatoes walking on the
moon
is beyond all help but beyond all hope’ !
SHAPELY-CHARMER
Like a camel with an extra hump,
she had three moony-round-breasts;
the tips pointy as are pyramids
or the beak of a phoenix on her flesh
in the form of a fine-tattoo.
Strange snake-charming lady, ooh !
HIMALAYAN HYMNS
At the foot of the Himalayas
and looking way up ahead,
you’ve your hymns and your hopes,
got your Tibetan Book Of The Dead.
Surely best to aim far higher,
to make your mission to the moon.
You’ll fall short of the target
but will reach the top real soon.
Beware the Abominable Snowmen
on whose mountains you’ll intrude,
and stick to the path of the Buddha
in your spiritual climb and solitude.
PUNTER-POEM
I am with Mr Sillitoe
who wrote of punting down river.
Through Blake’s greener England to go
in very sunny weather.
To hear a sedge-warbler sound,
see the odd mink or rarer otter.
City boat-racers hear then my song:
“I am punting for Albion”.
Pictured here (foreground):
Captain Mark on his new
boat ‘The Pork Pie’
BRIDE-IN-BLACK
It is your funeral
now you are tied
to the girl who is
your black-gowned bride.
You think the gown white,
white as virgin snow,
but dark the heart
of the black-widow.
It is your funeral,
her veil now lift.
Kiss the bride
and yes, death kiss.
THE-COOL-CALLED-
NORTHERN-THAI-LADY
One of the Thai-girls I came to know
gave herself the nickname Snow.
On the slopes of her soft-thighs
my fingers slowly skied down-wise.
Upon the peaks of her breasts
my climbing lips came to rest.
She’d chosen the nickname Snow
as it’s cooler the more North you go.
A LADY LIBERTINE
The libertine lady,
she pats her pet.
She has him in
her web, her net.
There are some
who only feel free
when somebody else
is down on bent-knee.
WHAT-A-CARRY-ON-
QUASIMODO
You carry a hump this life-long day,
and in your head are clappers that
clang.
The bells !! The bells !! They have their
way.
You feel like the Hunchback of Notre-
Dame.

One thing was for sure - it was just as hot.
On his 19 hour flight from Los Angeles,
Carl had been wondering what to expect
when he arrived in Pattaya. Having read
the guide books and watched a few videos
posted on the internet, he knew he was going to be in for
a culture shock. At least the blast of hot air that welcomed
him as he stepped out of the aircraft was the same as he
remembered it. As the taxi neared his destination he could
see the hotels and apartment blocks reaching skyward. It
seemed to Carl that there
would be little prospect
of anything being left to
rekindle his memories.
But despite this realisation
that perhaps his trip might
not fulfill all of his expectations,
he was glad he
was there. He’d promised
himself many years ago
that he would return.
His first and only
other time in Pattaya had
been 43 years earlier. He
had been drafted into the
US Marine Corps when
he reached the age that
required young men to
partake in the war that
his country was waging
in south east Asia. At the
time he had no opinion
one way or the other as to
the righteousness of the

conflict. He was not long out of high school and knew little
of the communist cause in that part of the world or why his
country felt that they should take it upon themselves to go to
war. He figured that he would do his bit, see a few things that
he wouldn’t otherwise, and be welcomed back home a hero
when his tour of duty was over. The fact that events didn’t
turn out like that had bothered him since, but what’s done is
done and this vacation would go a long way to closing the
chapter in his life which he felt must be done before his time
was up.
He’d been sent to Pattaya not long after it had first
become popular as an R &
R destination for American
GI’s. His stay was an
enforced one after he had
been wounded in the
battle for Hue during the
Tet offensive of 1968. His
only piece of good fortune
during the incident was that
a member of his platoon
had risked his own life to
drag him to safety before
the mortars finished off the
troops that were unable to
get back. Carl remembered
vividly the moment his
saviour was standing over
him, looking deep into his
eyes as if to see if there was
life there. He remembered
looking back into the steelyblue
eyes of the marine with
enough determination to
persuade him that saving
Carl was worth the risk.

It was a month later that Carl found himself in Pattaya.
He had been very lucky. His left femur had been fractured
and the shrapnel which had penetrated his abdomen had
avoided his vital organs. After a blood transfusion and having
his leg put in plaster, Carl was evacuated to Pattaya. It looked
like the conflict had some way to go yet, and the Military had
decided that troops in Carl’s situation may well be called upon
to return to combat once they were fit enough to do so. He
was staying in one of a number of small, ramshackle beachfront
guesthouses that had sprung up seemingly overnight to
meet the needs of the ever increasing numbers of US servicemen
who had the opportunity to escape the front line one
way or another. Carl had been there for a week or so and he
was out on his daily walk to the bamboo shack which passed
as the local bar at the end of the beach. Even though he was
still using crutches and was advised that the exercise would
help him recover his mobility, the serenity of the place and
the smiling faces of the locals meant he would have done it
anyway.
He stopped at the bar and ordered a beer. As he took a
satisfying swig from the ice cold bottle, a voice at the other
end of the bar said
“Are these the lengths we have to go to just to get a cold
beer and a holiday?” Carl turned to see the soldier who had
saved his life. He had been shot a week later and although
not as badly wounded as Carl, he’d been sent to Pattaya to
recuperate. His name was Gene. After talking about the
latest on the war, they proceeded to empty the ice box of its
beer bottles and in the course of doing so, strengthened a
bond that only exists between men flung together by circumstances
such as theirs. The two men met every day for the
time that their respective stays in Pattaya overlapped. They
knew that they were likely to be assigned to different units
when they returned to the battlefield, so before parting they
exchanged addresses and promised to meet up once the war
was over. As Gene was driven away to return to Vietnam, Carl
remembered shouting “I owe you one Gene!”
That was the last they saw of each other. Carl never
fully recovered and was sent back to the USA. His previous
thoughts of being welcomed back as a hero were immediately
shattered as the casualties were mounting and the anti-war
movement was just taking off. He tried to trace Gene. The
Army said he’d seen out his tour and had left the military. Carl
wrote to the only address he had for Gene, but never received
a reply. This trip to Pattaya was in a way his farewell to the
man who saved his life. If he couldn’t say it face to face, at
least he go to the place he’d last seen the man who had given
him 43 years of life he would not have otherwise had.
The Pattaya of the 1960’s was vastly different to what
now confronted Carl. The peace and quiet had been lost to
incessant traffic noise and blaring music. What had once
Submit your FREE classified with pictures at:

been a tropical idyll had become a brash, smelly, congested
metropolis. Be that as it may, Carl wasn’t there for a holiday
- he was there to remember a friend. He soon realised that
searching for the location of the bar on the beach was going
to be fruitless. He remembered it was at the southern end
of the beach, close to an old wooden jetty. He decided that
the modern pier at the northern end of Walking Street was as
near as he was going to get and he would go out to the bar
at the end of the pier, buy two bottles of beer, drink one, and
have a few minutes of silent reflection.
On his last day in Pattaya Carl duly paid homage to
his friend as planned. He was making his way back to his
hotel when what should have been an uneventful end to
his trip, was dramatically interrupted. He was just about to
cross Beach Road, when the Thai lady walking in front of him
tripped on the kerb and fell out into the oncoming traffic.
Carl instinctively grabbed her by her shoulders as she was falling,
and pushed her back towards the pavement, thus saving
her from certain serious injury. In the process, the impetus
caused him to fall in the road and he was struck by a passing
taxi. Fortunately it was a glancing blow and after some onthe-spot
first aid, Carl felt OK. The lady concerned had stayed
to make sure that Carl was not badly hurt.
She said that she lived nearby, and felt that the least she
could do would be to offer him a cup of tea or coffee and the
chance to sit down for a while as he was still clearly shaken.
Carl accepted and five minutes later they entered her second
floor apartment in a nearby Soi. As he sat in the kitchen, Carl
observed his surroundings. He glanced at some photos on
the wall and caught his breath.
The lady saw this reaction and asked him what was the
matter. Looking down at Carl from a Polaroid photo pinned
to the wall was Gene. Older - but those piercing blue eyes
were unmistakable. “You know this man?” the woman asked.
Carl explained the connection and the reason for his visit to
Pattaya. The woman for her part, went on to tell Carl that she
had met Gene 35 years ago when he came to Pattaya, they
married and he never returned to America. She had worked
there as a young girl when the town was just beginning
to grow. He’d said when they first met that the place held
memories for him but had never elaborated. Now she knew
why and was glad. Gene had died five years earlier.
The significance of the day’s events had not been lost on
Gene’s wife. “My husband saved your life, and now you save
mine”. Carl felt a sense of contentment as he remembered
his last words to Gene as they parted all those years ago. His
debt was paid

Who Do You Contact for Financial
Over the years I have written many articles on the
above subject.
Advice Offshore ?
The main thrust has always been to try and find
a long established financial adviser who has a few
attributes that make it conducive for you to do business with him.
When you meet a broker canvassing for your business here
are a few questions you should put to him to help determine if he is
right for you.
How long have you been in the business and who have you
worked with? If he’s had 20 years experience selling double glazing
and two pushing investments then perhaps you should look further.
What basic financial qualifications do you have and where
were they obtained?
All is not lost with this individual if he has no certificates as you
may consider that the biggest rouges in financial history have been
dripping in financial qualifications.
However in reality if your potential broker does not have a
basic financial planning qualification it may be best that you keep
looking.
In a non regulated environment like Thailand it is very important
that your adviser has a base here, owns property here and
perhaps has a wife and child here.
The main reason for this is self evident. If your broker has no
commitment to Thailand what level of service do you really expect
after he has been paid his commission.
Try also and avoid drunks. Yes they operate here and despite
the confidentiality of offshore investing it is not much good when
your broker gets drunk. What do they say about a drunk can never
keep a secret?
The most obvious thing never to do is give any money to a
broker here. If you do then no one will sympathise with you when
you lose it all.
Some financial advice from David Thrifty
I have always cautioned against using International banks
mainly because the only time they will want to meet up with
you is when you have more money to invest.
But now comes the news that HSBC has been fined 10.5
million pounds for miss-selling investment bonds to elderly
people in care. HSBC will pay 29 million compensation and said
it was “profoundly sorry”
The problem for HSBC is that they made more in commission
from selling these bonds to people with a couple of years
to live than the fine that has been imposed.
Heres how their scam worked.
Elderly customers paid a 5% up front charge for the investments
followed by 1% a year.
Average investment size was 115,000 and many of the
elderly were reliant on this to pay their care bills
They were recommending that people invest in these
products for at least five years. However because many had a
life expectancy of less than five years they started to withdraw
from the investments sooner than expected.
The combination of withdrawals and charges meant that
capital was eaten away quicker than should have been the case
if the investments had been sold properly.
The bank then made the following statement.
“This should not have happened and I am profoundly
sorry that it did. We have high values here at HSBC and this
runs contrary to everything that we stand for. That is why when
we suspected that everything was not right we took action”
That is all very well of course but it is hard to stomach that
a company which globally reported pre tax profits of 11 Billion
dollars for the first six months of 2011 finished the year being
fined for ripping off pensioners getting ready to die.
Page 58 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
Is it any wonder the Occupy Wall Street protestors are out on
the street?
And there not the only bank in the rip off business.
Coutts bankers to the Queen fined 6.3 million sterling for
selling AIG bonds as low risk.
Credit Susisse fined 5.95 million sterling for advice failures
when selling complex financial products.
The problem for me is that when any investment company
cheats its clients some of the bad publicity rubs off on all brokers
including myself who has tried to be honest with our clients over
the past fifteen years here in Thailand.
The “High Standards” professed by HSBC have always been
endemic within our brokerage. The difference is that we practice
them.

Amy Winehouse - Lioness: Hidden Treasures
Verdict: 7/10
When celebrities die young, there
is a tendency to re-hash any
unreleased material and offer it
to fans. After Tupac was gunned
down, we had every line he’d ever
recorded re-mixed and somehow made into a song.
When Michael Jackson died songs that didn’t quite
do him justice suddenly ended up on new albums.
However, with Amy Winehouse things are
thankfully very different. Before she died of alcohol
poisoning earlier this year, she had already recorded
the vast majority of what was going to be her third
album. Tragically, she never got to hear it completely
finished, but there was enough there for producers
to work on.
Lioness: Hidden Treasure is a collection of a
dozen completely new tracks or new versions, with a
couple of cover versions thrown in.
Producers Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi have
done an incredible job of preserving the brilliance of
Winehouse’s vocals and creating something that she
would have been proud of.
Hearing Winehouse sing certain lines is now of
course filled with irony and pathos, but even if she
had lived, the songs would have been poignant and
memorable.
E-Mail: pattayatrader@pattayatrader.com
The Sixties’ feel is
still there, notably on lead
single ‘Our Day Will Come’,
which was first recorded
by Ruby and The Romantics
This isn’t simply
Winehouse’s third album
though, here there are
even tracks predate her
2003 debut album. ‘The
Girl from Ipanema’ is
given a jazzy flavor here,
while other brilliant covers
include The Shirelles’
‘Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?’ and The Zuton’s ‘Valerie’.
Of the original songs here, ‘Halftime’ is a decade old but sounds fresh and
soulful thanks to Winehouse’s timeless vocals.
Some duets are interesting, who would have thought that ‘Smoke’ filled
with a rap from Nas would work, or that her last studio recording with veteran
singer Tony Bennett would be so good. But it is: Bennett and Winehouse’s
Body and Soul is an old jazz track that oozes class.
Winehouse would never have released an album like this, the older tracks
are clearly there to make up for a vacuum of new material, but despite this
anything new from Winehouse is a bonus. She may have messed up her glorious
talent but what she did do in her short career will last for years.
Anthony Hamilton - Back to Love
Verdict: 8/10
Anthony Hamilton (the singer, not the snooker star) has one hell
of a soul voice. His last album The Point of it All was pretty impressive,
but Back to Love easily surpasses it.
With a production team that includes Kenny “Babyface”
Edmonds, Salaam Remi and Kelvin Wooten, you’d expect it to sound slick, and
it doesn’t disappoint.
Grammy-award winning Hamilton simply has a voice that sounds like
honey, and the first single ‘Woo’ is a great example of this. There are a good
range of uptempo tracks for dance fans and some more slower, reflective
numbers. The r’n’b style is contemporary but with a few hints of the old school
Page 60 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
sound, such as the excellent opener ‘Mad’, a funky collection of
horns, guitar and harmonica.
‘Who’s Lovin You’ is a charming lament about unrequited love
that while the duet with Keri Hilson, ‘Never Let Go’ works surprisingly
well despite her more urban feel.
If you get hold of the deluxe version, you can also enjoy ‘More
Than Enough’, where Hamilton and his band let loose that sees
them jam superbly.
If you like true soul music, then Hamilton is just about the
best out there at what he does.

Anthony Hamilton is going to become a father again. His wife Tarsha
is pregnant again. “Well, since we’re here, yes. I just found out.Hopefully
this one’s a girl”, the R & B singer announced during an appearance on Live! With Kelly on Tuesday (December 13).
Hamilton and his wife are already parents to twin boys, Nolan and Aaron, born in November of last year. The Grammy winner also has three
sons from previous relationships: Anthony, 21, Romero, 19 and Tristan, 14.
Kelly Rowland - Here I Am
Verdict: 6/10
Kelly Rowland has done a pretty good job of living in
the shadow of Beyonce. While her former Destiny’s
Child colleague has gone on to become a global
superstar, Rowland has made a solid niche for herself
as a dance-techno star.
Aside from having the best set of pins in Destiny’s Child,
Rowland was also a fine singer.
She’s already had eight top 10 songs in the UK and landed a
spot as a judge on talent shows. ‘Here I Am’ doesn’t quite live up
to her previous efforts, though.
While on the X Factor she comes across as being ballsy and
outgoing, the songs here rather lack power and effect. The album
begins with mid-tempo tracks overloaded with synth sounds that
have the effect of watering down the songs. Some numbers work
well, we quite like ‘I’m Dat Chick’, but ultimately you end up wondering
if she really has the attitude to match the lyrics. Beyonce
had no bother throwing aside her Christian beliefs to cultivate a
raunchy, sexual image, but with Rowland you wonder if she’s just
a bit too nice to do that convincingly.
The idea of getting Lil Wayne to help out is therefore in-
spired as it does add
some punch, and
his appearance lifts
things well on ‘Motivation’.
The second
half of the album is
far more interesting.
Summer hit ‘What
a Feeling?’ ticks all
the right boxes and
a few collaborations
with DJ extraordinaire
David Guetta
can’t fail to work.
Single ‘Down
For Whatever’ does a
good job of persuading
us that Rowland
really is a sex kitten, while ‘Whatever’ is far more urban. Rowland
wisely has done a good job of trying to copy Beyonce, and with a
few stronger dance tracks at the start this really would have been
the CD to push her career on.

Every year the Cobra Gold exercise which is a joint American-Thai
military operation with other ASEAN countries sending along troops
as well—descends on Pattaya. What a sight it is with thousands of
American sailors coming ashore for R&R. I think the focus is definitely
not on Rest! They’ve been at sea for months. They have lots of cash by
local standards, wild dreams and raging hormones. The Pattaya Foreign
Police Volunteers assist the US Navy Shore patrol in keeping the
sailors and marines in line as they drift into the bars and netherworld
of Pattaya.
Walking Street is crawling with handsome, fit, young and clueless
American military personnel with wads of cash burning a hole in their
pocket. Sometimes a marine with too many beers can be made an offer
that is too good to refuse. That, of course, violates the Wisdom of Beer.
Never let the beer substitute for thinking through a plan. One bright
Marine accepts an offer too good to be true, $500 for taking a piss on the
expensive car pointed out by a beautiful Russian escort. Unfortunately
that car happens to be owned by the local Mafia chief’s son!
The story follows the members of a gang as they organize and
carry out a daring heist. There is a local Thai-Chinese mafia type and
a Russian arms dealer who have organized the heist of weapons from
a warehouse abandoned by another arm’s dealer who’s been sent to
America to face criminal charges. Young Khun Beer is about to carry out
that heist of war weapons at a Laem Chabang port warehouse partnered

To post or not to post…
It’s normal in Thai society for those of a
lower status to show respect to those higher
up the ladder. That can sometimes make it
tricky for reporters to ask the questions that
need to be asked. Channel 7 reporter Somjit
Navakruasunthorn thankfully suffers from no
such deference and normally wades in where
others fear to tread.
She used to give Abhisit a hard time,
and rightly so, but usually the Democrat
leader would stand his ground and give an
answer.
When she tried the same type of questions
on Prime Minister Yingluck though,
things soon turned nasty. Yingluck simply
walked off when Somjit asked her something
about how to get rich in just four years. OK,
it’s a sarcastic type of question but one that
Yingluck could have easily batted away.
The response from Yingluck supporters
was hostile and one email was created
with Somjit’s picture. The message, along
with Somjit’s image, was said to have been
circulated by Porntip Paksanont, chief of the
Petchaburi branch of the United Front for
Democracy against Dictatorship.
The email said: “This is the face of the
reporter who caused Prime Minister (Yingluck)
to walk away. She is a reporter with
E-Mail: pattayatrader@pattayatrader.com
Channel 7. Remember her face so if she is seen anywhere, please ‘take care’
of her”.
The phrase ‘take care of her’ has similar to connotations to hard man
Vinnie Jones asking you to ‘come outside for a little chat’.
Suitably upset, Somjit filed a complaint with the local police. After all,
we were all warned not to share or like controversial content on Facebook
the other week, so surely she had a case?
Seems not. The police decided there was no case to answer as Ms Porntip
did not write the email, she only passed it on to others.
Turns out that to ‘take care of’ someone also isn’t threatening at all. And
anyway, the police
couldn’t trace the
original writer of the
email.
IP addresses are awfully
hard to get hold of, as well
know. Just ask that Thai-American
guy who was jailed for two
years last week for passing
on an offensive email that he
hadn’t written.
North Korea leader died
Now that North Korean
leader Kim Jong-il has died, the
future of his country hangs in
the balance.
The mystery surrounding
the life of Kim Jong-il has
left 28-year-old Kim Jong-un
in charge of this nuclear state.
And that’s bloody worrying.
The rest of the world knows
next to nothing about North
Korea’s new leader. We’re not
even sure he’s 28. He went to
school in Switzerland but was
bussed in and out of a compound,
so probably knows
little or nothing about Western
ways.
This is like hiring a 12year-old
and asking him to
form US strategy for Afghanistan.
Kim Jong-un will likely

those around him try to pull

the strings. Reform is unlikely, as those shadowy
figures would be out of a job and be
accountable for the starvation and poverty
that has plagued their country for the past
few years.
Of course, other countries will now
want to court North Korea for their own
reasons: the US and China will be at the front
offering all sorts of sweeteners to do as they
wish.
If the new chap is anything like his dad,
it will certainly be a tense time. Kim Jong-il
was the world’s only hereditary communist
ruler and was said to be behind huge human
rights abuses. While South Korea made
him out to be a vain, playboy figure with
Amy Winehouse-style bouffant hairstyle, the truth was even
odder. He had live lobsters air-lifted to his train on a daily
basis, which he then devoured with silver chopsticks. He was
known to like his drink, and was spotted downing 10 glasses
of wine during a 2000 summit with former South Korean
President Kim Dae-jung.
On the other hand, he had a god-like image in his homeland.
The official story says he was born in a log cabin, with a
double rainbow and glittering star heralding his birth.
Rumours never stopped coming though. A Japanese
magazine reckoned that he actually died in 2003 and body
doubles were playing his part. His love of movies and basketball
was legendary and he is said to have one of the private
collection of movies of anyone in the world.
Of course, those in North Korea have no idea about
any of this as their regime allows for no freedom of expression
or debate. We don’t even know how or when he died,
for instance. Change is definitely coming to North Korea, but
whether it will be for the better or worse is anyone’s guess.
Ladyboy hostesses ready to serve you
Ladyboy air hostesses have taken to the airs with a new

PC Air took officials on its maiden flight – no pun intended
– from Bangkok, all looked after by four ladyboy attendant.
The privately-owned airline aims to offer equal opportunities
for all, hence its PC name.
“Today, we are ready to embark on the new journey and
we would like to introduce our four transsexual angels,” PC Air

The cabin crew was made up of 19 female and seven male flight

Although Thailand has plenty of third-sex people, they are often
discriminated again when it comes to jobs. So it’s good to see an

John owned a very successful bar in Pattaya which he had designed
and built himself. His wife was a local lady
whose savvy in the day-to-day operation of the bar
was invaluable. With her as manager, it seemed the
perfect partnership. John provided all the capital
investment plus many friends who became regular
customers. These friends would bring their own
friends along and his clientele increased to numbers
which were the envy of other businesses in the area.
When John didn’t show up at his bar one
night, it was not a surprise because it was known
John had a drinking problem and it was only a matter
of time before it would take its toll on his health.
When he still hadn’t turned up after a week, his
friends became concerned. They tried calling him
but his mobile seemed to be always switched off.
The consensus was, if he was resting and recuperating,
he turned it off so as not to be disturbed. There
was no real panic until three weeks later when one
friend began calling his home number. Each time, the calls either rang
out or John’s wife answered to say he was sleeping.
John’s absence was having an effect on the bar. Many of his
friends would look in and, not seeing him sitting on his usual stool,
head off somewhere else. The popular 4-piece band, which played
nightly had quit and those customers who came to enjoy their music
had followed shortly after. The cashier quit, along with three other
popular and hardworking members of staff. In only a few short weeks,
the bar went from catering to a full house each night to entertaining
merely a handful of punters.
John and his wife lived about 20 kilometres out of town. When
two of his concerned mates paid him a visit, his wife greeted them at
the door saying he was sleeping and could not be disturbed. They
insisted upon seeing him. Stretched out on his bed with his eyes open,
they found him pale and incoherent. He did not recognize them and
appeared to be in a terrible state. It was obvious his malady was not
simply the result of alcoholism.
A few days later they headed off to the bar where John’s ex-band
was now resident. The lads in the band told them that yes, they had
quit, but they were forced to. After John took ill, his wife told them she
no longer required the keyboard player and their salary would be cut
by 25%. She cited the downturn in profits as the reason. To the band
members this was unacceptable, so they reluctantly quit.
E-Mail: pattayatrader@pattayatrader.com
Bitter Medicine
John’s ex-cashier was also working in that
bar and she explained she was also forced to quit
because John’s wife had accused her of stealing,
something which she vehemently denied. She also
suggested John’s wife was evil and was deliberately
setting out to destroy the bar. To those listening,
that did not really make a lot of sense. The bar provided
a good income for both John and his wife so
why would she want to stop the money from rolling
in? The cashier did not know but warned them to
be very careful about tangling with his wife.
Three friends went back to visit John two
days later. His wife reluctantly let them in and this
time they found John more responsive and coherent.
They told him about trying to call him many
times but his phone was switched off. When they
started calling on the landline, they were told he
was asleep. John said whenever he asked his wife
if anyone had called she said no. She told him his
friends did not really care about him and to forget them. He never
really believed her but was in no position to do anything about it.
Someone then noticed a small cup of brownish liquid on John’s bedside
table. John said it was his medicine made by priests from special
herbs. His wife told him to take it twice a day. As he lifted the cup to
his mouth, one friend snatched it from his hand and tipped the contents
into a nearby planter. He told John to stop taking it but not to
let his wife know. John seemed to understand. He confided that he
always seemed to feel worse immediately after downing the potion.
One month later, John was no longer bed-ridden and met up
with a mate at a restaurant in town. John looked bright and healthy,
ordering a soda water because he was no longer on the booze. He
said he had spent his last month of recovery untangling such a web
of intrigue it made Hollywood suspense thrillers seem tame. Everything
that happened had been part of a cunning scheme in which
his wife was chief puppeteer.
His wife had two friends who owned a bar of similar size but
nowhere near as popular as John’s. Their lease was about to expire
and the landowner informed them it would not be renewed because
their bar and the surrounding area had been earmarked as the site
of a new hotel. They needed new premises and John’s bar would be
perfect. Conspiring with John’s wife, they offered her a half share in
a new ‘super bar’ made by the merger of John’s place and their own,
if they could buy John’s at a cheap price. The trouble was that John
owned the bar through a registered company and his wife could not
sell it without his signature. Besides that, the fully operational and
Page 66 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
profitable bar with a long-term lease would be very expensive even
if John could be persuaded to sell. She knew John would give her
half the proceeds of the sale but that was a pittance compared with
the money generated from her silent partnership in the new management
team.
The first stage was to keep him away from the bar and his
friends. She knew as long as he was in the picture, the bar would
continue to run profitably. She switched off and hid his mobile
phone and easily fended off phone calls made to the house. She
began feeding him the brown concoction which, in small doses,
caused drowsiness with a narcotic effect but taken over a longer
period of time, would kill him. That was her two-pronged attack. If
he could be persuaded to sell the business to her friends at a ridiculously
cheap price, she would stop administering the ‘medicine’. If he
refused, his death could easily be explained as the result of chronic
alcoholism and the bar would pass into her hands. She felt she could
not lose.
The second part of her plan was to run the business into the
ground financially. When weekly takings kept declining, she could
explain to John that since he was no longer well the bar was losing
money. It would be best to sell up before they went broke. She
would talk him into accepting the best offer, which naturally would
come from her co-conspirators. To do it, she got rid of the cashier
who had been John’s friend for years and replaced her with her own
crony who would adjust the figures as directed. She forced an intolerable
situation upon the band knowing they would quit and sacked

the three most popular and efficient members of staff. Any staff
member who quit was not replaced. At one point, she was down to
three serving staff which, for a large bar, was totally inadequate.
Her plan unravelled once John stopped taking the potion. His
health improved daily but he did not let her know, pretending to be
still following her prescription. The potted plant beside his window
where he had been disposing of the liquid had withered and died.
John could not believe the lengths his wife would go to for
sheer greed. The final question was what he was going to do about
it. If they wanted his bar so badly that they would consider murder,
then they may try again and, next time, might be successful. He
decided it was not worth it. In any case, he had had enough and
wanted out of the bar business altogether. John said he was going
to give them what they wanted. He was going to sell them the bar
– but at his price, not theirs.
What about his wife? What action was he going to take now he
had evidence of her attempt to murder him? None. He was advised
that, should he make any trouble for her, she had enough money
and contacts to ensure he never testified. He did not want to spend
the rest of his life looking over his shoulder. He negotiated with his
bitter wife and she agreed to buy him out of his half of their beautiful
home. After the sale of the bar went through, he would give her half
the proceeds before heading back to the UK to retire.

BoA company fined for ‘racist’ charges
Bank of America’s Countrywide Financial business will pay a
record fine of $335m to settle discrimination charges.
About 200,000
qualified African-
American and
Hispanic borrowers
were charged
higher than normal
rates just because of
their race.
BoA bought
Countrywide in 2008. The settlement relates to actions taken
between 2004 and 2008, before the BoA takeover.
Countrywide specialised in sub-prime mortgages, which
were often granted without proper checks on criteria. Countrywide
“steered” more than 10,000 minority borrowers into subprime
mortgages, while similar white borrowers received prime
loans.
Those sub-prime mortgage holders ended up paying more
in fees and rates.
Borrowers in 41 states and the District of Columbia were affected
by Countrywide’s lending practices.
Malaysia opens banking system
Malaysia will allow more foreign investment in the banking
sector to try and boost economic growth.
The government will be more flexible when it comes to
permitting foreigners to hold stakes in banks and will also issue
banking licences to foreign firms.
Malaysia’s central bank said the cap on foreign ownership
would depend on the financial profile of the investor.
Foreign ownership of commercial banks in Malaysia is
capped at 30% currently.
Malaysia is aiming to
become a fully developed
economy by 2020 and the
financial sector is expected
to play a key role in
helping it to achieve that.
The sector is expected
to grow at an annual
rate of 8% to 11% in the
current decade.
Authorities have
already granted licences
to some foreign banks,
including BNP Paribas and National Bank of Abu Dhabi, to operate
in Malaysia.
Analysts said that changes to the ownership rules will help
boost growth even further.
One of the fastest growing areas is Islamic finance. Overseas
investors are currently allowed to hold up to a 70% stake in
Islamic and investment banks.
The central bank plans to bring in new products and offer
new Islamic banking licences to help sustain the momentum.
That’s in sharp contrast to Thailand, where foreign banks are
virtually unknown.

the patent will be banned from sale in the US from April 19, 2012.
Apple is fighting several legal battles over technology rights,
and had first claimed that HTC was ignoring 10 patents.
That means HTC was able to claim something of a victory as
it was only found guilty of breaking on patent.
HTC said the patent they broke related to a small user-interface
feature known as “data tapping”, which allowed users to
grab embedded information, such as a phone number. HTC will
completely remove it from all their phones and claimed it would
mean minimal disruption to their business in the US.
As the world’s fourth-largest smartphone maker, HTC uses
Google’s Android operating system on most of its smartphones,
though it has now launched a series of phones using Microsoft’s
Windows Phone 7 software.

The incident took place

He now faces charges of theft and money laundering.
Mr Gao was arrested at a land checkpoint in Hong Kong as
he arrived from mainland China.
It is alleged that Mr Gao shifted NZ$6.78m ($5.25m, 150

mistakenly put NZ$10m into it after he requested an overdraft.
His former girlfriend, Kara Hurring, 32, returned voluntarily

UK still in trouble
The UK economy grew faster than expected towards the
end of 2011 but is still on course for a winter recession.
Growth for July to September was revised up to 0.6 per cent,
helped by a recovery in services and construction sector output.
But the second quarter was revised down from 0.1% growth to
show no expansion at all.
There were warnings that the 0.6 per cent growth rate was
too optimistic and that the overall health of the economy was still
very poor.
Third quarter figures were helped as service sector output
was up 0.7 per cent while construction growth rose 0.3 per cent,

The Argument Arises - Is Tendulkar
better than Bradman
As Indian superstar Sachin Tendulkar (Pictured) made
his way Down Under for yet another Test series,
arguably his last in Australia, someone somewhere
decided it was worth attempting to revive a dead
horse by trying to claim the Indian champion might
now be a greater batsman than Don Bradman.
The reason -the hook- was that Tendulkar was on the verge of
scoring his 100th international century, a feat never before accomplished.
This is mainly because there was no such creature as One Day
Internationals when people like Bradman,
Walter Hammond, Len Hutton and Jack
Hobbs were in their prime.
Bradman himself was known to be
a huge fan of Tendulkar’s, stating publicly
that the Indian batsman played much like
himself. Tendulkar might arguably be the
closest incarnation of Don Bradman, but
by no stretch of the imagination could he
really be classed in the same way.
Statistically, Bradman is possibly
the most dominant sporting figure of
the twentieth century. In no other sport
has one person been so all-conquering
as Bradman. His Test batting average of
99.94 is 39.21 runs better than the next
nearest batsman of all time. That man is England’s opener Herbert
Sutcliffe whose average of 60.73 from 54 Tests (Bradman played 52) is
the second-best of any international player with more than 20 Tests to
his credit. The difference in averages equates to a massive 39 percent.
Thinking across other sports, heavyweight boxing champion
Rocky Marciano dominated his time in the square ring with an unbeaten
string of 49 victories. Yet many would claim Muhammad Ali
was greater. Ali was undefeated at his first 37 bouts before
being forced out of boxing for three years.
Bradman lost six years of his career due to the Second
World War, and did not play a Test match from 1938
until 1946, that is, from the age of 30 to 38. How many Test
matches did he miss in that time? Just how many centuries
would he have scored? The answer, of course, is completely
unknown. That he came back in 1946 and plundered 187, 234
and 79 in his first three innings is testament to his brilliance
and suggests he may well have finished his Test career with
many more than his-then record of
29 centuries.
By way of comparison, England
batsman Walter Hammond
(who finished his Test career with
22 centuries and an average of
58.45) also missed the Second
World War years, playing his last
match in 1939 and resuming
against India in England in 1946.
Five years older than Bradman, it
would be fairer to look at Hammond’s
record up to and including
1939. He made 6,883 runs at 61.45
to be the closest comparison with
Bradman; and there were those in
the 1930’s who attempted to make
the case that Hammond was indeed superior.
Bradman remains only one of four men to have scored
a century before lunch on the first day of a Test match. He
remains the only batsman to have scored more than 300 runs
in a single day. Tendulkar, despite his truckload of Test tons,
has never gone close to scoring 300 in an innings let alone a
day. His highest Test score is 248.
Page 74 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
The question is why was Bradman so good, that even
today he completely dominates the batting landscape? Was it
just freakish ability?
In a foreword to Bradman Revisited, a 2008 book written
by Tony Shillinglaw, the former England opener Geoff
Boycott made a note of Bradman’s qualities and wrote ‘In 40
years of playing, watching and commentating on cricket I
have seen a number of great batsmen who possessed many
of these qualities, yet all of them were only 50 to 60 per cent
as good as the Don. So was there something else? Or was he
just born special?’ Among those batsman is, of course, Sachin
Tendulkar.
Shillinglaw suggested Bradman developed a unique
‘rotary’ method of preparing for a stroke and it was this which
gave him a big mechanical advantage over other batsmen.
Former great Greg Chappell agreed Bradman had found a
way of lifting the bat and balancing himself in such a way as
to give him an edge.
Colin Cowdrey, the England opener and captain, once
wrote of Bradman: ‘it was his mind that powered his success’.
His mental toughness was noted by sports statistician
Charles Davis, who suggested Bradman was as vulnerable to
being dismissed as any other batsman until he had scored
Submit your FREE classified with pictures at:
PLEASE - SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS
around 15 runs. Once he was set then his chances of being dismissed
dropped to about one third of all other greats. Once Bradman
reached 50 and from then until he made 150 he completely dominates
the landscape. Davis suggested once Bradman got going he
dominated bowlers mentally.
Certainly, his record of 29 Test centuries and only 13 fifties bears
testimony to this. In two of his half centuries Bradman was not out
and therefore not able to go on to a hundred or more. So, of the 40
other occasions he passed 50, he converted just over 72 percent into
centuries.
Hammond, prior to 1939, made 22 hundreds and 22 fifties. Of
these, four of his half-tons were not out. Therefore, Hammond’s conversion
rate of fifties into hundreds or more stands at 55 percent.
Between the age of 20 (when Bradman’s career commenced)
and 55 Tests later, Tendulkar’s performances show 20 centuries and
18 fifties. Of the latter, only one was not out, so Tendulkar’s conversion
rate stood at 54 percent.
From statistical studies based on the bell curve, Charles Davis
claimed only one in 200,000 Test cricketers should be as good as
Bradman. If 50 new Test players were blooded each year it’s going to
take about 6,000 years before we ever see another one like him.

Suarez ridiculous race row
OK, so Luis Suarez isn’t the best player to use as a shining
example of how one should behave on a football field. But,
come on,
wasn’t the
row over
his supposedracial
abuse
of Man
Utd’s Patrice
Evra a
tad overblown?
In
the highlytouchy
corridors
of the
Football
Association, any whiff of racism makes those old boys (all white,
by the way) shudder. They worry that they’ll be accused of
ignoring the issue if they do nothing, so they huff and puff and
come out with all the felicitous platitudes.
E-Mail: pattayatrader@pattayatrader.com
To recap, Suarez offended Evra during a Liverpool-Man Utd
match by apparently repeatedly using racist language. Evra is
the only one who heard this. Evra said in his report that he didn’t
think Suarez was a racist. Evra also once made up an over-the-top
complaint about a Chelsea groundsman and was banned for four
games as a result.
This isn’t an Evra witch-hunt either, though. The main problem
here was language. Suarez apparently used the word ‘negra’. You
may well think that after four years playing in Europe Suarez should
know that this was going to be inflammatory.
However, it should also be noted that in Uruguay, such references
to race are normal. Suarez, whose grandfather was black, is
from a country where racial references are banded about without
anybody taking offence.
Obdulio Varela, a World Cup winner with Uruguay, was known
as ‘El Negro Jefe’, or the black boss. In today’s squad there is Maxi
Pereria, known as ‘El Mono’, or ‘the monkey’ while Alvaro Fernandez
is called ‘El Flaco’, or ‘Mr Skinny’.
It is hard, if not impossible, for the suits at the FA to accept
that this is the norm in some societies. It may not be acceptable
in our Westernised eyes, but that’s really our problem isn’t it, not
theirs.
Which brings us to Thailand. We should be thankful that no
Thai footballers have ever got beyond Everton’s reserve squad,
otherwise there’d be cries of ‘blackie’ and ‘darkie’ every time there
was a corner kick.
Not that Thais are racist, either. They just have different attitudes
to skin colour. That attitude usually extends to Thais with
darker skin, but sometimes it crosses over to those from different
races, which is where things get slightly more complicated.
Suarez’s case put the FA in a difficult position. It would be a
brave FA to dismiss a charge of racism, in much the same way you
don’t get many innocent verdicts in lese majeste cases. But the FA’s
decision to ban him for eight games is excessive, and seems like
they simply want to make a point.
Keane to Put the Record Straight
Manchester United legend Roy Keane has reignited a war of
words with old boss Alex Ferguson.
Page 76 For Advertising Call 038 716 390 (Thai) - 038 716 986 (Eng) Issue 136 - February 2012
Keane didn’t hold back as he claimed Fergie unceremoniously
dumped him when he was no longer of use.
He even claimed United threatened him with legal action after
a 2008 interview in which he hit out at the club’s handling of his exit
from Old Trafford.
Although he won seven Premier League titles while with Fergie,
Keane’s relationship with the red-nosed one ended after he left the
club in 2005.
Keane criticised United’s youthful team after they crashed out of
the Champions League at the group stages.
Fergie, not unreasonably, questioned Keane’s managerial record
which, so far, has been less than glorious.
In programme notes, Ferguson said his side were getting criticised
‘even from people we thought were perhaps on our side’.
The most recent clash came when Keane revealed his surprise
at Phil Jones saying he was ‘relaxed’ before the Euro defeat to Basel.
Keane said: “I’d be getting hold of some of those lads, saying,
‘You’d better buck up your ideas’.”
Sounding more and more bitter by the moment, Keane’s latest
complaint centres on how he was treated when his time was up.
After a row with assistant manager Carlos Queiroz, he was shown the
door in no uncertain manner.
Neville – the voice of wisdom
Unlikely as it may seem, and it does seem very unlikely, Gary
Neville has been something of a revelation this season.
No longer is he simply Beckham’s best mate or the full-back
whose fist-pumping victory salute to opposing Liverpool fans still
looks laughable. No, the former Manchester United defender is now

the star turn on Sky Sports.
Many other
ex-pros have tried
and failed at this
job. There was
Jamie Redknapp,
who sounded so
keen but then said
so little, or Robbie
Earle, who sounds
like he was told
5 minutes before
kick off which
game he was going
to.
All that is over though. Enter Gary Neville, the voice of
footballing reason. Neville is great because he seems to be
focused purely on football and explaining the game to the
masses, rather than using Sky Sports as a vehicle to remain in
the public eye now his playing days are over.
He no longer seems like the nerdy, weasel-like stub of a
player; he is now Neville the pundit, analyst and deliverer of
tasty anecdotes.
One of the true joys of listening to Neville is that he is
unashamedly biased. They must almost fear giving him a
Liverpool game to work on as he’ll be wearing the opposing
team’s colours while simultaneously kissing a photo of Fergie
that’s in his top pocket.
He has already managed to annoy Chelsea boss Andre
Villa-Boas by suggesting David Luiz has been playing like he is
being “controlled by a 10-year-old in the crowd on a PlayStation”.
A wonderful line, and we can only hope
there is more to come. In a world of slick
suits, sharp delivery and product placement,
it’s reassuring to know that there
is a place in the world of football commentary
for someone like Gary Neville.
