เป็นเรื่องจนได้! เมื่อทายาทแฟร์เท็กซ์ เปรม บุษราคัมวงศ์ อดีตคู่หมั้นนักร้องซูเปอร์สตาร์ ทาทา ยัง ได้ไปนั่งพูดคุยออกรายการ “วู้ดดี้เกิดมาคุย” เมื่อสัปดาห์ที่ผ่านมา แล้วในช่วงหนึ่งของรายการเปรมได้พูดแสดงความรู้สึกว่า “ยังคิดถึงเวลาทำอาหาร และนอนเตียงเดียวกัน ตื่นเช้ามาก็เห็นหน้าทาทา แต่ตอนนี้ไม่มีแล้ว” ซึ่งเท่าเป็นการแฉให้ผู้ชมได้ทราบว่า หลังหมั้นปุ๊บทั้งคู่ก็ไปใช้ชีวิตอยู่ด้วยกันฉันท์สามี-ภรรยา ซะแล้ว วันก่อนผู้สื่อข่าวมีโอกาสเจอหน้าหนุ่มเปรม เลยถามถึงเหตุผลที่ต้องออกมาแฉอดีตคู่หมั้นสาว เจ้าตัวรีบบอกปัด
          “ผมไม่ได้แฉ ไม่จำเป็นต้องแฉอะไรทั้งนั้น ผมก็ไม่อยากให้คนมองเขาเสีย หรือใครเสียทั้งนั้น ตอนที่เราหมั้นกัน คือผมไม่ได้ไปอยู่กับเขาทุกวัน ไปบ้างอาทิตย์ละวันสองวัน เพื่อทดลองใช้ชีวิตอยู่ด้วยกัน ถ้าเราแยกกันอยู่ก็ไม่ได้ทดลอง ซึ่งผมเชื่อว่าคนที่เป็นแฟนกันหลายๆ คู่ ต้องเคยอยู่ด้วยกันแน่นอน ดังนั้นเราทำก็ไม่ผิดและไม่ได้ทำน่าเกลียดอะไรมาก เพราะเราก็หมั้นกันแล้ว เรามีจุดจุดหนึ่งที่จะต้องไปอยู่กับเขาบ้าง เพื่อทดลองใช้ชีวิตอยู่ด้วยกัน หลังออกรายการผมยังไม่ได้คุยกับทาทาเลย เพราะเขาไปต่างประเทศ  แต่ผมก็ไม่อยากให้เขามาเครียดเรื่องนี้ อยากให้เขาทำงานเต็มที่ก่อนดีกว่า”
          ส่วนกรณีที่คุณพ่อสุดเลิฟพูดในรายการทำนองว่า เขาโดนนักร้องสาวทิ้ง เลยพูดปลอบใจให้หาใหม่จะเอาผู้หญิงกี่คนก็ได้นั้น เปรมกลับให้คำตอบสวนทางกับความต้องการของคุณพ่อว่า
          “ทาทาไม่ได้ทิ้งผม อย่างที่บอกเป็นเรื่องที่เราคุยกันทั้งสองคน นั่นคือความรู้สึกของผมจริงๆ ที่ได้พูดไป ที่คุณพ่อบอกให้หาใหม่นั่นคือนิสัยของคุณพ่อที่ชอบคุยเล่น คือจะให้เราคุยในรายการซีเรียสตลอดเวลามันก็น่าเบื่อ คุณพ่อเลยปล่อยมุกขำๆ  เพื่อไม่ให้เราเครียดแค่นั้น”
          มีข่าวว่าทาทายังทำใจไม่ได้ ช่วงอยู่เมืองไทยไม่กล้านอนคนเดียว ต้องไปนอนบ้านพี่สาวคนสนิท เก๋-ชลลดา ประจำ? ” อันนี้ผมไม่ทราบเพราะเราไม่ได้คุยกันมาก อย่างที่บอกมันต้องใช้เวลา เพราะกว่าเราจะสนิทกันได้ มาเป็นแฟนกันแล้วเหลือความเป็นเพื่อน มันก็คนละฟิวส์กันแล้ว คือเรื่องเฮิร์ทเนี่ยมันต้องเฮิร์ทแน่นอนอยู่แล้ว  ผมก็อยากให้เขาทำใจ ยังไงเราก็ไม่ได้เสียกัน ก็ยังเป็นเพื่อนกันอยู่แน่นอน”
          ผู้สื่อข่าวแกล้งแซวว่า พักหลังเห็นหน้าตาสดใสขึ้น เป็นเพราะได้สาวนักเรียนนอกตระกูลดังมาดามอกแล้วหรือเปล่า ทายาทแฟร์เท็กซ์รีบปฏิเสธทันที
          “ใคร…..ไม่มี ไฮโซผมไม่รู้จักด้วย เพราะผมก็คนธรรมดา แต่ไม่มีครับ มีแต่เพื่อนๆ คนที่เข้าข่ายเป็นนักเรียนนอกก็ไม่มีเลย ผมไม่จำเป็นต้องโกหก ถ้ามีก็จะบอกว่ามี แต่บอกได้เลยว่าเรายังไม่พร้อม ขออยู่เป็นโสดก่อนดีกว่า ผมยังไม่มีใครเป็นพิเศษ โห…จะเร็วขนาดนั้นเลยเหรอ (ยิ้ม)”
          “ส่วนคนที่ควงไปไปไหนมาไหนด้วยกันบ่อยๆ หรือไปดูงานแฟชั่นด้วยกัน ก็เป็นเพื่อน มีชื่อ “ไนซ์” และอีกคนที่รู้จักกันมาพอสมควร คนหนึ่งเป็นผู้ชาย อีกคนเป็นผู้หญิง รับรองเป็นเพื่อนร้อยเปอร์เซ็นต์ อย่างที่บอกตอนนี้ยังไม่พร้อมขอใช้ชีวิตโสดเพื่อให้ตัวเองสบายใจ พร้อมจะรักใครใหม่ดีกว่า ถ้าพร้อมเมื่อไหร่พี่ๆ รู้กันแน่อยู่แล้ว ผมไม่ปิดแน่เพราะไม่รู้จะปิดไปทำไม ส่วนตัวเองก็ไม่ได้ปิด เพียงแต่ยังไม่พร้อม ยังไม่ได้เปิดใจรับใครใหม่เลย ก็มีคุยไปเรื่อยๆ  ถ้าเขารอได้ก็รอ  ผมไม่อยากทำให้ผู้หญิงเสียใจ เพราะเรารู้ว่าความเสียใจเป็นยังไง เลยไม่อยากให้ความหวังใครทั้งนั้น”
          สเปคสาวคนใหม่ต้องเป็นยังไง? “ก็เป็นบวกๆ นะ (หัวเราะ) ที่สำคัญขอให้คุยกันรู้เรื่อง เข้าใจกัน ส่วนหน้าตาไม่ต้องสวยมากก็ได้ (ยิ้ม)”

Sound system rental

In order to preserve sound quality, you must split your frequencies between Bass, Middle and Treble. Most stereos do it transparently (the small piece of electronics in your speaker boxes), but this is not suitable for bigger sounds. This is why we use Crossovers, which allow to split frequencies before they get amplified.
At Malfaiteurs, we opted for 6 way split frequencies, rendering the sound in the best fashion possible:
Ultra High Treble
High Treble
High Mids
Medium Bass
Bass
Sub Bass - long throw AND radiant
This provides for optimal sound restitution, specially when set-up in stereo and using digital electronic equipment.

Executive summary

Overcoming the Tsunami shock

The tsunami was, by far, the worst ever event to have hit the country in many decades. While mourning the loss of lives and other damage and devastation, the Thai government was one of the first to fully pledge and make concerted efforts with government associations and the private sector for a rapid recovery for the tourism market. Phuket; one of Thailand’s world renowned tourist destinations, had been directly hit by the waves, and within the first three months, was ready to welcome back visitors. Fear and superstition did dampen the arrival of tourists to the provinces affected by the tsunami, for Thais and Asians, but by the end of the year, international arrivals started to pick up and Thais will return for the commemoration ceremony to be held on the first anniversary of the event headline news dampened travel plans, but country still saw positive growth.

Hit with other negative events, from continued terrorism in the south, to fuel hikes, droughts and flash floods, it seemed that the country was facing a tough year for a healthy economy. Travel plans dampened for both international arrivals and domestic tourism, as caution was taken and trips postponed. However, as issues were tackled and plans implemented by the government, travel and tourism also reverted back to normalcy quickly, as travellers felt positive about safety and security. Overall, the country’s rapid recovery from the destruction and other negative events throughout the year ensured the travel and tourism market maintained positive growth for 2005.

Continued positive growth of domestic tourism boosted moral for industry

Domestic tourism continued to see healthy growth over the review period, with 2005 expected to meet the target of 76 million domestic trips taken. While efforts and attention for the six provinces were at the forefront of the news, Thais simply changed destinations to other regions of the country instead of cancelling travel plans. The positive growth for domestic tourism was one of the government’s strategies for the past few years to boost the Thai economy and encourage Thais to travel within the country. This has also encouraged operators in the market’s various sectors to feel more at ease, as they are already suffering from intense competition. Different campaigns and promotional packages were continuously launched for Thais to (re)discover the country’s beauty and unseen places. As such, domestic tourism grew to other regions of the country and should continue to grow in the future.

Budget airlines continued success since launch last year.

The launch of low-cost carriers in 2004 was the key factor for the upsurge in sales value for the transportation sector in 2005. Prices became affordable for the general mass and travellers were able to opt for an upgrade in mode of transport and/or travel further away from their original destinations. In 2005, budget airlines increased flights and destinations as they competed for share of domestic travel. Plans are also underway for extensions to more international routes, and this should happen in the near future. Air travel; contributing to 88% of overall value sales in transportation, saw positive growth of 6% in 2005, with budget airlines playing a significant role in this increase.

Hotels upgraded quality and services and consumers benefit

Hotel standards were continuously upgraded in the hope of not only attracting more customers, but also to be to increase rack rates. There was also an increase in number of chained hotels, both international and privately owned this year, which are all mid- to premium star ratings. However, Thailand already has more than 4,000 hotel outlets in the country and is a highly competitive market. With negative events throughout the year, hotels had no choice but to compete with promotional packages and discounted room rates to maintain a profitable occupancy rate, and lure more customers to the outlets. As such, consumers benefited overall, as they were able to make use of the better standard of quality and services, and at an affordable price.

Internet transactions still not widely used by locals but trend picking up

Internet transactions still contribute a very small percentage in total value sales across travel and tourism. Only recently have Thais become more familiar, as low-cost carriers actively encourage on-line booking and payment so as to be able to lower ticket costs. There were also more online sites set up by both direct suppliers and intermediaries, although still mostly frequented by foreigners. Currently, locals still utilize the internet as means of finding out general information. Traditional travel retailers still play an important role in the market as locals still prefer to contact and make reservations by phone or fax, and being able to inquire for information in person.

The online trend should pick up as locals familiarize themselves with this alternative choice. Better pricing online, and user friendly websites will help in the future.

Industry momentum picks up rapidly during the forecast period

The outlook for 2006 onwards, in terms of visitors and domestic tourists during the forecast period, will surely be good news. The country still has much to offer, whether the natural beauty or tourist attractions of cultural heritages and historical sites, to attractions and theme parks. Travel and tourism will be one of the Thai government’s priorities, as it accounts for a significant part of the GDP. All sectors of travel and tourism should benefit and see increase in value sales and positive growth.

Effect Rental Thailand

OVERVIEW

I have to rent out my brand new holiday 5 bedroom teak wood home in Bangkok Taling Chan district.It’s by Thanon Wongwan Rob Nok and by the Klong Bang Tal - 5 minutes drive to South Bus Terminal (towards Kanchanaburi, Cha Am, Hua Hin, Phuket, Krabi and Malaysia) on Thonburi & 15 minutes to Chao Phraya River, Khaosan Rd, the Old King’s Palace & the Wat Pho. There is also a frequent bus to Suvarnabhumi Airport.Pictures on request. check it out on google maps: lat=13.79381307 latitude lon=100.408499781 longitude Around are traditional houses with orchards, gardens, peace and clean air. Suit family with children and animals as the place is safe and has a terrace under the elevated on stilts house. Goes cheap, even short let - as I can’t go on holidays to Bangkok as often as I use to go. At the moment stays there my daughter with her children, but she can move to my sister in law house just the next door. A much better option of staying in Bangkok than the town centre, with it’s noise, pollution, traffic jams and crowds of tourists. In a Taling Chan home-stay you will immerse yourself in a traditional lifestyle and learn a little bit about Thai culture and customs. Walks through the fruit orchards and flower groves make a very challenging experience. You can feel here like living in the traditional thai willage - yet 5 minutes walk is 7/11 shop, cash machine and a daily street market. A short ride there is a famous traditional thai floating market in Taling Chan by the Chakphra Canal. There are several nice homestays in that area - old thai teak wood houses on stilts just overlooking slowly moving canals. You are in the middle of verdant and vast, lush gardens. There is nothing comparable to it in the whole of Thailand - a dream student home stay or a holiday accommodation. Prices in US$: 30/day, 100/week, 300/month There is something subtly exotic about wood. No other substance seems to mature in the same way, changing it’s texture and smell in a second life that defies life’s normal rhythm. The traditional Thai teak house represent a style of living that is almost absent from Bangkok these days - with citywide modernisation, it is hard to find older houses that are still in use. Villages such as Lampang in the North, featuring predominantly teak houses, are becoming more and more rare as people switch to modern building materials. Built around the concept of simplicity, Thai stilt houses were the functional solution to a hot climate in the days before air-conditioning. The gap between the floor and ground enables a cool breeze to to naturally ventilate the entire house, and the open window style still in practice today further aids this process. Building with native teakwood gave the houses a natural beauty that is still imitated in today’s architecture (think of the sweeping, upturned eaves of many Thai roofs.) Prized for it’s durability and attractive finish, teak has been logged almost to the point of extinction, and the magnificent trees (sometimes reaching 50m in height) are today rarely found outside dedicated plantations. However, there remain some people trying to revive the traditions of teak workmanship, incorporating it into new homes and proving that old materials can be re-used with stunning effect. In the heart of the Taling Chan district lies a canal that seems entirely detached from the regular bustle of city life, yet connected to the rest of the klongs that form the city’s ancient corollaries. I am introduced to this world by Kanya, a masseuse currently overseeing the production of a new home with her husband Yan. She leads me along the narrow path by the canal and I soak up the atmosphere of a quiet backwater entirely different from the Bangkok I am used to. Across from us sits a magnificent example of wooden architecture, an obviously new house by the water’s edge surrounded by palm fronds. Kanya explains that this has been built with the express purpose of being a party house, and I feel a pang of jealousy for their frivolously beautiful enterprise. Just back from the canal’s edge sits her house, an obvious labour of love that sits next to her sister’s, also being built with an eye for past wooden beauty. While the ground floor retains some modern materials, the upper floor is furnished with a stunning mix of old teak boards and ornately carved pine shutters, the darker wood setting off the light to beautiful effect. Inside the house the smells of wood craftsmanship pervade the rooms, and there is a feeling of inherent age that is difficult to achieve in new properties. The main room upstairs stretches the breadth of the house, overlooking a patch of genuine wilderness that teems with life, and I’m pleased to hear they have no plans to get rid of it. “We wouldn’t want to lose the birdsong” explains Kanya. Throughout the house, we walk on gigantic beams that have the solid, immovable quality of wood that has been in existence for a great deal of time; “100 years old, maybe more” she says proudly. Taken together, the ancient wood and the laid back pace of the canal provide an intoxicating mix that would likely tempt even a die-hard village-dweller to consider city life. My Taling Chan visit has reminded me that Bangkok is a city of many faces, where the old can sometimes lie comfortably beside the new (without complaining about the price of milk these days.) And while the building of super-malls with concrete and steel continues apace in Bangkok, there are signs that the traditional is also making a comeback, with interest in attractions such as Vimanmek mansion (a gigantic teak house made exclusively with teak - no nails!) and Jim Thompson’s house on the rise. It seems that there are also a number of people who are willing to sacrifice convenience for beauty in building of their own Thai homes, as the growing number of teak queries for ‘traditional thai teak wood homestay Bangkok’ posted online show. A trip along the Chao Phraya shows a great deal about the city’s character, from individual riverside lives to gigantic trade barges, peaceful restaurants to stunning Wats best seen by boat. But a surprising part of this journey are the properties that have fallen by the wayside of development, beautiful teak houses left abandoned by their owners that have the potential to be truly amazing locations. With all the development occurring along the riverbanks, it is a shock to see such treasures lying idle, and if Thailand is to maintain it’s heritage this would surely be a good place to start. After all, a teak house party by the river is not to be sniffed at… The Taling Chan house featured is available for long and short term rents Best time of the year to travel. The best months to travel through Thailand are December and January. Second best are November and February. These months constitute the ‘cold’ seasons. In Bangkok temperatures are still as high as during a good West-European summer though. At night, it cools off a bit but temperatures will rarely drop below 20 degrees Celsius, even at night. From roughly March till May, Thailand experiences the hot season, when temperatures can soar into the 40 degrees range. Not the best time of year to go walking about cities or countryside. From roughly May till October, we have the rainy season. It is quite unpredictable when it is going to rain though, and there are sometimes episodes of up to two months during this period, when there is no rain fall. Other years, rain falls more consistently almost every week. Traditionally rain falls during the late afternoon. It seldom lasts more than a few hours. Flooding of areas of Bangkok and in the provinces occurs, more at the end of the rainy season in Bangkok (the drains are more clogged by then). Temperatures tend to be high, but cool off somewhat each time it has rained.
