HOW ABOUT THAT!

The oldest club of any kind on Phuket, Phuket Yacht Club, turns 40 this year
– an
and is gearing up to celebrate in style at Royal Phuket Marina.
Phuket Yacht Club is located in one of the safest and most idyllic bays
on the island, Ao Yon on Cape Panwa. The club is reminiscent of days
long gone, when expats would laze away a Sunday afternoon over cold
beers and varied conversation, undisturbed by jet-skis, mass tourism
or… well, anything for that matter.
Of course, if lazing isn’t your thing, there is the sailing…
The aim of the club – essentially a small boat/dinghy sailing club – is
to introduce people to the sport of sailing and encourage others to
participate in sailing, club racing and other water activities.
The club offers recreational sailing, club racing, boat rental and family
day barbeques – as well as racing lessons to children. In co-operation
with Topper Sail, a whole range of sail training is also available for
children as well as adults. Those ‘in the know’ when it comes to sailing
say that people who start out in dinghies make absolutely the best
sailors.
The club’s community contributions include links with Sunshine Home
in Koh Sirey; the club invites the Sunshine children to learn about
sailing and participate in free lessons, racing and family days at the
club. It is the club’s aim that these children have the opportunity to will be hosting a celebration of four decades of promoting sailing – a

The Folies Bergère, the Crazy Horse Saloon and the Windmill Theatre all became world-famous, based on
the irresistible draw of pulchritude, pulsating rhythms and provocative costumes. Of course, they all also
had that indefinable something, that ‘Je ne sais quoi’, which set them apart from, and above, the merely
tawdry. Welcome to the new boys on the block, at:
SIMON CABARET they’ve got

‘Je ne sais quoi’ by the bucketful.
Their website says in describing their top star, that, “She‘s more of a man
than you’ll ever be, and even more of a woman.” As so often happens in
this Land of Smiles, things aren’t always quite as they appear to be, at first
sideways glance. Still don’t get it? OK, let me spell it out for you. All the
cast, man and boy, are… well… men and boys. Baldly, they are ladyboys
with long locks, lean loins, lingering looks and the longest legs you’ve ever
dreamed of – Thailand’s unique, confusing contribution to the notion that
the battle of the sexes is a two-cornered fight. However, don’t be put off. If
you’re expecting male-voice choirs then you’re in for a disappointment.
The Cabaret is situated a little way away from Soi Bangla, the Patong
epicentre. The theatre is a big, windowless building that is easy to find, as it’s
mainly decorated in a rather violent tint of violet.
I met with Khun Richard, the general manager, in the bistro-style bar in
front of the theatre, just before the show and asked how and when this
phenomenally successful ‘show-business’ business, started out. Samrit and
Virat Rouyrin (the man-and wife inspiration for it all) opened the first Simon
Cabaret in Pattaya 20 years ago and it was an immediate hit, so when they
moved to Phuket two years later and opened up shop in Patong, they were
sure that they had a winning formula. Apparently, at this time, nobody else
shared their confidence. The ‘Simon’ in Simon Cabaret, by the way, is the
owner’s brother.
Khun Virat still does all the choreography hands-on, so even though they
now employ more than 200 people (of which 80 are performers), and have
many other business interests, it’s still very much a family business.
The theatre can seat 600 people and is equipped with the latest sound
equipment, state-of-the-art lighting effects and smoke and aroma diffusers.

The house lights dimmed.

Then, with a sudden violent clash of cymbals, the stage came alive. This
was a riot of coruscating colour, glamour, sequinned gowns and gloriously
beautiful, scantily-clad girls and boys, all moving in a fascinating and
hypnotic display of the purest symmetry. I really can’t remember most of
the detail – I was overwhelmed by the immaculately crafted and captivating
celebration of song and dance.
I asked Richard if the girls (for simplicity’s sake, let’s ditch the ’nudge nudge,
It would spoil it for you if I were to attempt a blow-by-blow account of
wink wink’ stuff ) were easy to work with. He admitted with a wry smile that,

Lemongrass House
To visit this home of award-winning spa oils, creams, soaps and so many other exquisite products is a delight. The aromas are
enchanting. At Lemongrass, you can enjoy a spa treatment to sample and choose from their huge range, then take home your
choice to enjoy at your leisure. They even have a great range of kid’s spa products.
Based on his years of experiences at some of the top spas in Southeast Asia,
Bobby has developed a full line of healthy skin care products. For example, his
hydrating face and body creams have 25 per cent aloe vera, white orchid and
cucumber extracts. And he’s developed a revitalizing mineral muscle soak made
from Andaman Sea salt crystals, blended with white orchid and chamomile
extracts, to help draw out impurities and soothe and revive tense muscles.
“People are sensitive to different scents at different times of day. It’s a good
idea to get a variety of essential oils and experiment with what smells and
feels good to you,” he says. “Our aromatherapy massage and body oils can
be either uplifting or calming to the spirit. They’re carefully balanced hand-
blended oils created by adding pure essential oils to nourishing, vitamin E
enriched, sweet almond and jojoba base oils.
Lemongrass has won many awards, including Condé Nast Hot List 2007, and
has been featured in several top magazines, including Time Magazine’s “Best
of Asia”. According to Time, “If you want to smell like no one else, try mixing a
selection from the more than 90 natural scents at Lemongrass House.”
Lemongrass House is located in Cherngtalay, Surin Beach and Chalong, where
you can buy their full range of spa products at modest prices, making perfect
gifts for friends and family who can enjoy the aromatic scents of Asia in the

massage, when combined with specific herb and spice oils, as a method
to reduce stress, boost energy and heal certain physical ailments – at the
American Aromatherapy Association.
Some years ago while on holiday in Thailand, he visited an organic farm in
Petchaboon province and became interested in the natural healing properties
of Thai herbs and spices.
“I was particularly attracted to lemon grass as it was used in many popular
Thai foods, as a medicine for stomach disorders and even as a repellent for
mosquitoes,” he recalls.
Bobby used lemon grass as his signature herb to create a line of essential oils,
face and body creams, shower gels and bath crystals, which he and his wife
Palita sold at Bangkok’s world-famous Weekend Market.
What started, several years ago, as a modest enterprise has blossomed into
a successful operation offering over 90 oils and a wide range of body care
products through many outlets, as well as supplying many of Thailand’s top
resorts and spas with aromatherapy oils.
“Our advantage is that we produce the freshest spa products and our stock is
never kept longer than three months; using fresh spa products can be likened
to eating fresh food rather than processed food.”

Finding a spa in Patong is easy. But if you want first-class tropical treatments
in a superb beachfront setting, your choice is very limited. Fortunately, the
newly-opened Swasana Spa at Impiana Phuket Cabana Resort & Spa, provides
the perfect answer. With two luxurious treatment rooms for couples, complete
with private steam room and oversize twin Jacuzzi, one single treatment rooms
and two beachfront Thai Massage rooms, Swasana Spa is unique in Patong –
blending sublime treatments with a spectacular beachside location.
Whether you’re suffering the stress of working in Phuket’s super-heated
commercial environment, or you’re visiting from overseas for a slice of tropical
relaxation, Swasana Spa’s warm welcome from their gracious staff is a great way
to start.
My journey began with a Herbal Steam treatment in the aromatic steam room.
Great for cleaning the pores and clearing the mind. Then out of the steam
into the warm Jacuzzi for two, sipping a cool ginger tea while nature’s healing
power eases away aches and stress.
Already beginning to relax, I moved on to the Swasana Salt Scrub, the spa’s
signature body treatment. My 2 therapists started with a gentle scrub, using
tropical salt and tamarind to remove the dead skin cells, leaving my skin feeling
smooth and silky.
Gearing up the sense of total relaxation, and gearing down even further my
stress levels, I next experienced the signature massage – a combination of
Lomi-Lomi and Aromatherapy techniques and principles. Lomi Lomi, also called
‘Loving Hands’, derives from ancient Polynesian massage using long continuous,
flowing strokes to get deeply into tired muscles. Aromatherapy, using essential
oils to stimulate or relax, is the perfect complement. While my therapists’ hands
worked their magic on my body, I felt I had
left all my worldly cares and tension behind.

People Profile
Suphaporn
Chittmittrapap
This month we talk to a well-travelled,
professionally-qualified business person. Her view of
Phuket is well worth hearing.
Do you come from Phuket? No, I’m from Bangkok.

Why did you decide to set up your business in Phuket? Because of the
potential for our business, but we were also attracted by the lifestyle.
Could you tell us about your educational background? I’ve got a
bachelor’s degree from the Faculty of Law, Chulalongkorn University, and a
master’s degree in law from the U.S.A.
What did you do before you started your present company? After
graduation, I worked as a law consultant for a finance company for many
years. This business, AheadAll, has been going for eight years.
How did you start your business? When I returned to Thailand from abroad,
I was struck by how many houses and businesses had unsightly security bars
on the windows. I recalled that in the States they had none of this, depending
rather on automatic alarm systems. I realised that there was a need for
security equipment in Thailand that was not being met by the market and so
we set out to address it. We target everything from small housing projects to
large condominiums and hotels.
Why did you call the company ‘AheadAll’? This company is all about
using the latest technology and thinking to enhance people’s quality of life.
The name, I think, conveys this concept. Our approach can be summarised
as providing security, improving lifestyle, saving resources and serving the
community.
What is your responsibility for your business? I’m the owner and
managing director.
Who is your idol? My idol is my husband, who is the head of Thailand’s
leading law firm. He holds to the highest principles and perceives his
responsibility as serving and helping others. Where do you stay in Phuket? We have an office on the By-Pass road, but I
love to stay in hotels to see how things develop.
How would you describe your approach to business and managing
others? First, you can’t expect others to be motivated if you don’t set a good What is your hobby? As I’ve said, I’m passionate about music so I collect

Loy Kratong
Festival
This event is one of the most beautiful and popular festivals
in Thailand. It’s traditionally celebrated on the full moon
night of the 12th month in the lunar calendar, which usually
falls in November. This year it’s on the evening of the 2nd
November.
During the festival, Thai people will construct a small float from a section
of banana tree trunk, decorate it with banana leaves and flowers and add a
candle and three sticks of incense. It’s also common practise to include some
nail clippings or a few strands of one’s hair, and a small sum of money. The
candle and joss sticks are lit and the krathong is floated away on any open
stretch of water. As we’re living on an island, this obviously is likely to be the
sea. The belief is that this offering to the gods will take away all the bad luck
of the past year and thus bring good fortune in the year to come.
If you don’t have a banana tree conveniently to hand then many small shops
will have ready-made offerings on sale for a few baht. It’s a seasonal cottage
industry which is worth supporting. A word of caution, though. In past years,
some constructors, in an effort to improve the buoyancy characteristics of
their merchandise, took to using polystyrene for the hull. It’s obviously not
very ecologically or politically correct to introduce lots of lumps of non-
biodegradable stuff into the seas around us, which, in due course, may return
to pollute our beaches. The gods will not be amused. Take care.
As we’ve said, the tides are supposed to carry all your bad luck away, so the
further the krathong drifts the less likelihood there’s that ill fortune can come
back to bite you. A hot tip, if you launch from the sea gypsies’ village in Rawai,
with a 20 baht note on board, the village kids playing in the water will ensure
that your craft carries a respectable distance. The gods help those who help
themselves. The kids, of course, do the same with the 20 baht.
As the sun sets and the moon rises above the horizon, the crowds start to Launching a khom loy.
gather on all the accessible beaches. Food stalls appear from nowhere and
a carnival atmosphere prevails. For those who still need to buy a krathong,
last minute stocks will be available. If you’re planning to get there by car it’s a beaches. On the bigger beaches there may also be organised events like
good idea to arrive early, as parking can be a problem alongside the popular beauty contests, fair games, firework displays and handicraft markets. (See
our ‘What’s on’ section).
Many people will also make paper lanterns (called khom loy in Thai) which
climb into to the sky powered by the heated air from a candle wired inside.
This illuminates the canopy at the same time. The sight of hundreds of
these tiny flickering points of light climbing into the night sky makes for a
delightfully romantic backdrop to the party. If you’re planning to do this,
don’t forget to make a wish at the launch – this is the land where wishes
come true. Trust me.
The origin of the festival goes back to the time of the Sukhothai
Kingdom around seven hundred years ago. A lady called lled
Noppamas whose beauty was apparently legendary was the
chief consort to the king at the time. As a tribute to her
er beloved
she created the first krathong in the shape of a lotus and
presented it to him during the celebration of the festival.
ival. His
Majesty was so taken with the tribute that he ordered d
that the practise should be perpetuated and a tradition on
was born. The ladies of today who win the beauty
contests will be crowned Miss Noppamas in memoryy of
the originator of the custom.
Enough history. Loy Krathong is a lighthearted
celebration of the end of the monsoon rains and
a great excuse for a party. Enjoy.

for modern couples and small families – a concept that gives you
privacy and convenience with the freedom to indulge in the resort-
style luxury of a private pool that you can step straight into from your
bedroom any time of day or night in the tranquil surroundings of Soi
Kokyang near Nai Harn Beach.
Villa Onyx is uniquely designed compact yet spacious single-story
private pool villa residence. The two-bedroom homes bring together
traditional and contemporary elements of design to offer a fresh
new concept of ready-to-move-into homes each fully equipped
with a built-in kitchen and fitted furniture in each of the bedrooms
while the two en-suite bathrooms are fitted out with high-quality
furnishings in trendy design.
The spacious kitchen space is a pleasure to prepare food and drinks
in and is stylishly kitted out with an L-shaped black marble counter
top with an electric stove and convector hood fitted into pure white
cupboards as part of the open-plan living and dining area where
cooking and conversation is fun.
Each of the two bedrooms has a stylish en-suite bathroom fitted out
in a modern Western style. The master bedroom’s spacious en-suite
bathroom has a deep sunken bath that offers a view through the
bedroom and out to the pool in the garden beyond. It also has a
separate overhead rain shower enclosed in glass.
Villa Onyx is air conditioned throughout, with central ventilation in
the living area and separate units in each of the bedrooms, allowing
you to conserve energy when the bedrooms are not in use.
Three-metre high ceilings with ambient lighting add to the feel of
opulent spaciousness in the homes, which is also enhanced with the
view of the enclosed tropical garden from the broad sliding-glass

doors of the living area that open out onto the wooden veranda
and the master bedroom doors that open directly onto the inviting
rectangular pool providing a serene ambiance day or night
The floor-to-ceiling double glazed doors also allow plenty of natural
light into the living area and master bedroom and allow you to open
up your home to the elements and make the most of the tropical
climate.
The quality materials and building standards used for Villa Onyx make
for a great investment, which The Two Villas will look after while you’re

stylish lifestyle.

Things to do
in Phuket
Maybe you have just come to Phuket to soak up the
sun and relax on the island’s legendary beaches
beaches, enjoy
the endless choice of restaurants and shop in the local
bazaars or in the first class department stores. These
days though, we find that visitors are increasingly
adventurous and for this reason we at ‘Shop WINDOW
on Lifestyle’ have put together a selection of more
exotic and unusual activities. Here's things to do in
Phuket, the small island that reigns as the tourist
capital of South Thailand.
Phuket Butterfly Garden:
This is a place of endless educational possibilities. Here you can learn more
about the miraculous miniature world of insects and butterflies. Relax in the
garden where there are literally thousands of butterflies filling the air or busy
seeking pollen among the tropical blooms.
Located in Soi Paneung in the Sam Kong area, the garden is a 5-minute drive
from Tesco Lotus. Take the road towards Phuket City and it is on the left hand
side. There is a large sign indicating the turning. Entrance for children under
10 years is 150 baht, adults and kids over 10 years pay 300 baht. Open daily
from 09:00 until 17:00 hours (last admission). For more information ring 0
7621 0861 or visit www.phuketbutterfly.com
View antique buildings:

A hundred years ago, Phuket City had a prosperous economy based on
tin mining and even back then was an international centre with a large
expatriate community of Chinese and Europeans. They built beautiful homes
in the style called Sino-Portuguese – terraced townhouses with narrow
frontages and accommodations which stretched back from the road. The
interiors often include walled gardens and fountains and are beautifully
furnished with antiques and Chinese inspired decorations. Rommanee Road
is a fine example which has been fully restored. Visit Talang Road, Yaowarat
Road and Dibuk Road where these old structures are home to a thriving
latter-day community of shops and restaurants.
The Provincial Hall, the Phuket Courthouse and
the town branch of the Siam City Bank are further
examples of architecture from the past.
Join the crowd at the weekend market:

The most popular weekend market in Phuket Town is officially called Chao
Fa Variety but is universally referred to by its Thai name Talad Tai Rot. There
are also bewildering choices – everything from clothes to electronics. The
market opens at 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays – when it is cooler. Parking
can be a problem.

Blood Donations
Facts
• You can’t give blood from one person to another unless it’s
a match. A person with Rh negative blood can’t receive Rh
positive blood.
• When people donate blood, they usually give one unit, around
500ml.
• Many accident patients need many units of blood to survive;
some as many as 10-15 units.
• Rh negative blood is rare, very rare, not just in Phuket but all
over Thailand.
• We can’t get Rh negative blood from the Thai population, they
don’t have it.
• Only a very few foreign people who live in Phuket with Rh
negative blood are regular donors.
When a foreign patient is admitted to hospital and requires Rh

negative blood, stocks can be exhausted quickly and urgent calls are
then made through the media to obtain more.
What can, and is being done?

Phuket International Hospital maintains a Blood
Donors’ Database where we check people’s
blood for free at the hospital and record these
details, with their contact details. If people
already know their blood group, they can enter
the information themselves directly on to the
website www.phuketinternationalhospital.
com. The hospital then makes this database
available to other hospitals and the blood bank
in Phuket. If blood is then needed, people who are on the database
are contacted to make a donation. This saves valuable time and is a
life-saving community service. If you’re a foreign resident of Phuket,
please get checked for free at the hospital, and become part of the
database. If you know that you’re Rh negative, we really do need
your details. Please remember that if you’re Rh negative and have an
accident, you may need the blood of other donors.
As a tourist or visitor to Phuket, you can also donate blood; it can
save lives. Blood collection, screening and distribution is performed
by the Phuket Regional Blood Centre, and their brand new building
and facility is located next to the Phuket Provincial Employment
Office at 38/193 Rattanakosin 200 Pee Rd in Phuket town; telephone
076 251178 or mobile 081 413 4004. If you donate, the procedure is
carried out according to international standards. No appointment
is needed, just turn up and tell the staff you want to donate. You’ll
be made very welcome, the process will take about 45 minutes and
whilst all blood is greatly appreciated, you’ll be particularly well-
received if your blood is Rh negative.
