Hua Hin : Michelin's recommendations
Surrounded by rocky hills, the bay which opens into the Gulf of Siam gave its name to this fishing village: Hua Hin is the Thai for "head of stone". This peaceful town owes its popularity to its long white sandy beaches which attracted the wealthy inhabitants of Bangkok in the early 20C. In 1911, the construction of the first railway in Thailand made the province more accessible by linking Hua Hin to the capital and the village has been an upmarket, tranquil seaside resort ever since.

Consumers are being "churned" into different pension products, often with higher charges or risks, to generate commission for their financial advisers, according to Consumer Focus.
The consumer champion says much of this churn is not appropriate and could leave consumers worse off in retirement. The report said that in every case where a pension was transferred or a new pension taken out the adviser received an up-front payment. In the cases it looked at where the fees and value of the pension pots were outlined, the average value transferred was £33,400 and the average fee £1,552 – the equivalent of 4.6% of the value of the fund.
Consumer Focus is urging the Financial Services Authority and pensions minister Steve Webb to act to improve the personal pensions market and protect consumers from making a costly mistake with their retirement savings.
In its report, Consumer Focus also criticised the trend for products to pay ongoing fees, or trail commission, to advisers, even if they had not reviewed a customer's investments.
The report found that pension companies paid between £200m and £800m in commission a year, of which an estimated 25% was trail commission. Deducting this from investments resulted in the saver ending up with a smaller pension pot.
The report also found that disclosure of costs and charges was complex and opaque, making it virtually impossible for consumers to shop around or know what represented good value for money.
Christine Farnish, chair of Consumer Focus, said the investigation showed "that practice in the individual personal pensions market still leaves much to be desired".
She added: "The complexity of costs and charges, despite years of work by regulators on disclosure, make it all too easy for savings that should be going into a pension pot to be siphoned off in costs and charges. This complexity makes it impossible for consumers to judge price, and shop around for a good deal as they would in other markets."
Farnish called on the FSA to "get a grip on this market" and asked the government to review its policy on transfers into the new National Employment Savings Trust (Nest) scheme.
The scheme, which will to be introduced next year and into which workers will be automatically enrolled when they start a new job, will not allow transfers in.
However, Consumer Focus said this needed to be rethought. "Allowing basic-rate taxpayers with small pots to transfer into Nest would help around 2 million modest earners to build up bigger retirement savings, and prevent unfairness from developing between new savers and people who bought private pensions before Nest was available," it said.
Ros Altmann, director general of Saga, believes transfers have been blocked as a sop to the private pensions industry: "If Nest is allowed to accept transfers, there will be more of an incentive for private firms to improve the way they behave, but so far the government has bowed to industry pressure and stopped transfers into Nest, for fear that too many private companies will lose this lucrative business."
However Tom McPhail, head of pensions research at advisers Hargreaves Lansdown, has taken issue with some of the group's recommendations.
"Not all the recommendations in this report would improve investors' chances of achieving a decent pension. Most of the necessary reforms are already in place: they should be allowed to work through the system before any further tinkering is contemplated."
McPhail said that while Consumer Focus was right to say trail commission should not be paid where there was no ongoing service, scrapping it entirely was not the answer.
"Trail commission on pension contracts is there for a purpose, it is intended to reward an intermediary for servicing an investor's retirement saving arrangement," he said. "Scrapping trail commission altogether is not the answer because consumers still need ongoing support in planning and managing their retirement savings."

Gambo: D-backs never close to trading Upton to Texas
The internet has been abuzz with rumors about the Arizona Diamondbacks trading right fielder Justin Upton to (fill in the blank).
Over the last few days, the most prominent and frequent rumors have had the Texas Rangers strongly pursuing Upton. Friday morning, MLB Network's Peter Gammons went as far to tweet that he witnessed a Rangers official telling an official from the Houston Astros that they had landed Upton.
Not so fast, says Arizona Sports' John Gambadoro on Twitter.
Contrary to reports the Diamondbacks were never close to trading Justin Upton to Texas, that report is 100% false!— John Gambadoro (@Gambo620) December 7, 2012
Acknowledging the absent punctuation that muddles the meaning, the Diamondbacks were never close to making the deal with Texas.
Gambadoro acknowledged in a phone conversation that Arizona does hold Texas shortstops Elvis Andrus and Jurickson Profar in high regard, but Texas isn't interested in moving either player right now.

Clive was hit by a work truck down the street. He's at the vet right now. We just have to wait and see at this point. He couldn't walk or stand but it doesn't look like he has any broken legs, hips, or shoulders. He may have a broken rib. The x-rays were not too clear as they didn't want to move him too much. So far no signs of internal bleeding but the vet said it's too early to tell. The vet said it looks as if he was hit on his head and upper chest. We don't know if he has any brain injury yet. We also don't know if we can save his right eye. The eye has pretty severe trauma to it. However, that's the least concern right now.
So he's to remain at the vet for the next few days. They are giving him pain meds, fluids, and steriods to help control the shock.
They should call me later today and give me an update.
I need to try and keep myself distracted.
I'm so sorry, I hope that he has a good outcome. You must be totally in shock.

She said Clive is looking around a bit and even wagged his tail. They took him outside but he still won't walk or stand. He also did not urinate. No interest in water. The swelling in his eye has gone done and it has stopped bleeding. She said the "globe" looked like it's clearing. I don't know what the globe is. He's still really stressed as his pulse is still high and he's still panting.
If he is not standing or walking tomorrow then they will do repeat x-rays.
So now we just wait to see how tomorrow goes.
Mama, Painter, Special Needs Coordinator
I hope Clive continues to improve and is back home and 100% before you know it.
Be pretty! Be practical! Be Pagan! Visit Pagan Hearth & Home!

I will talk to the vet tomorrow morning to discuss things then.
I'm not sure if this is good news or bad news.
Mama, Painter, Special Needs Coordinator
As I stated earlier Clive can't stand or walk yet. Tomorrow they will check for internal injuries again. He still has a lot of swelling. He is also showing signs of the right side of his face (where he was hit) being paralyzed.
Vet did say that he was alert today and looking around and he ate some food.
So I'm trying to take the good news with the bad.
I'm supposed to cook dinner now but I'm just crying.
Maybe your DH could get some takeout or have a cereal night or something. Take it easy, lots of hugs to you.

He has a lot of bruising that has shown up on his belly. Intially she thought that he was just hit on the upper part of his body including his head. Now, she believes he was fit full on his entire body. He can stand with a special harness (that's how they take him outside so he can go potty) and he tries to put his weight on his front legs.
So they are going to do bloodwork to check for damage to his kidneys and liver. Also they will be doing more x-rays to check his lungs (as he's still breathing heavy) and to check his hips. So : that he has no broken bones or other internal injuries. We're hoping that he is just really really sore and bruised and that's why he's not standing/walking.
As for his face, she said only time will tell. The major nerve that runs along the face obviously has suffered trauma. It could repair and his face may be normal or not. We don't know about his eye yet either. She hasn't done a complete eye exam yet as she's focusing on the other issues first.
He's on two types of pain meds so I hope he's not in a lot of pain and suffering. I hate to think of him suffering and in pain especially with me not being with him. That is hard too. Does he think I've abandoned him because I'm not with him?
It's sad to watch my other dog. He kind of mopes around and he sits looking out the window at the road where Clive was run over.
I'm really hoping for good news this afternoon after the tests.

Marcy Millard, Jill Byers and the entire staff at the Millard Law Firm worked tirelessly to defend me in a case that lasted over a year. I was completely satisfied with the final outcome of my case and would highly recommend the team. You will find them to be honest, caring, responsive and extremely knowledgeable in their field !!
Posted by Jonathan
The Millard Law Firm was recomended to me by another attorney about a year and a half ago and every since I've always felt Marcy and her team went above and beyond to represent me. From Marcy's personal nature with client service, to her knowledge of family law, to personaly knowing many of the judges and court representatives in the area, her and her team pack a powerful set of skills.
Marcy fought hard in representing me and I was very impressed with the way she handled my case. Judges are just unpredictable at times and you're at their mercy whatever they decide. While we didn't get everything we wanted, we are thankful for the outcome and results from it. I would certainly recomend her to anyone neededing family law assistance.
Posted by a Child Custody client
Marcy represented my husband in a custody dispute regarding his child. The case lasted more than a year (through no fault of Marcy's) and Marcy was great every step of the way. She was very organized, very responsive, and very understanding of our situation. As an attorney myself, I knew that hiring an effective attorney was extremely important for the case and I am very glad we selected her. I've worked with many other attorneys in my professional life so I am able to compare Marcy to other family law attorneys that I have dealt with. When we met with her before trial Marcy was extremely prepared and knew the case like the back of her hand. We also appreciated that she or a member of her office always responded to us the same day that my spouse or I contacted her. Both my husband and I were impressed with her performance both in terms of her written motions and also in the courtroom. The judge's ruling allows my husband more visitation time with his child which made us very happy. I would definitely use Marcy again and highly recommend her!
Posted by Jose Jimenez
I have recently used The Millard Law Firm for my uncontested divorce. Her Firm is dedicated, efficient, friendly and professional. They communicated everything really well at each step. Marcy is very knowledgeable and honest. She truly did an awesome job. Very competitive fees schedule and the location is great. The Millard Law Firm means 100% favorable results! I highly recommend them and I would totally use them again.
Posted by a Child Support client
When I needed to talk to Marcy I would either get a call back from the paralegal, e-mail or nothing at all. I also was very concerned with the mediation portion when she gave me no advice and when I asked for things she would either state "well we do not handle that in mediation", or I also asked for something in mediation and she said I got it but she never followed through. Then when I would ask for things she always acted like in was to much. Then when we went to court we LOST big time. My ex got everything he wanted. The Judge was about to be done with my case and I asked SEVERAL times to ask for something and she stated you would have to do that in a different court. But since we lost I thought it could not hurt. She asked and my wish was granted. FYI seems to busy to take phone calls and do tasks that are requested by the client. She seems to accomodate the oposing councel. I DO NOT RECOMMEND HER.
Posted by Courtney
I contacted Ms. Millard to handle a modification of visitation that a previous attorney had begun, but did not complete. I was looking for an attorney that could see that my children's well being was very important to me, seemed genuinely interested in my case, was knowledgeable about family law, and was easy to contact. Marcy met all of my criteria. I could tell, almost immediately, that I would be able to trust her. I was impressed that she thought it was important to try mediation prior to going to court. And when that wasn't an option for me, she prepared extensively for court and kept me informed along the way. I have had experience with many different attorneys in the past, but Marcy is the first one that I would strongly recommend. I appreciate that even though my final order was months ago, I can still count on her for the answer to a question or two!
Posted by Kevin
I hired Marcy Millard to represent me in a child custody and modification case. When I got divorced, the settlement that I agreed to was not fair to me and did not take into account the significant role that I play in my son's life. I had to wait two years after I signed the divorce agreement before I could modify it. After waiting two years and having to abide by an agreement that was patently unfair to me, I was more than ready to obtain a modification that would provide a just result. I have always been close to my son and although he was spending 3 days and 4 nights per week with me, I still had to pay my ex-wife the full amount of child support in accordance with the state guidelines. So even though I was paying full child support to my ex, I still had to clothe him, feed him and otherwise support him during the time he was with me. The financial burden was frustrating and overwhelming. The first attorney that I hired to represent me purported to specialize in men's rights and so I assumed I would have aggressive representation. Unfortunately the original attorney was passive, nonchalant and allowed my ex to drag the case on indefinitely so that she could maintain the lifestyle that she had become accustomed to. I wasted thousands of dollars on this attorney and was constantly having to call for status updates and to prod them to move the case forward. After a year of dealing with this, I decided that I needed to find an attorney who would take an aggressive approach and move my case to a conclusion. Hiring Marcy Millard was one of the best decisions that I've made in my life. When I initially met with her, I outlined my frustration at how my ex was stonewalling the process and my attorney was unwilling or unable to move the case forward. Marcy outlined a plan of action and communicated specifically how we would go about bringing my case to a resolution. Marcy was aggressive from the start and kept me updated weekly on the status of my case. She was able to use motions and subpoenas to prod my ex and her attorney to act. When they continued to lag in providing us information, Marcy filed a Motion to Compel and the judge forced them to turn over all required documents in order to build a strong case. Marcy is relentless and a tireless advocate for her clients. She really gave me a sense of relief because I felt confident that I had the right representation. The end result was even better than I could have imagined. I was afforded joint physical custody, decision-making authority over my son's education and extra-curricular activities and even more surprising, I no longer had to pay any child support. My relationship with my son has never been better because I am able to be the father that I always wanted to be to him without having to be overburdened by the system. This is one father's testimonial and I always wish the best for those father's like myself who work hard to be a strong presence in their son's life despite the relationship with the mother and the intrusiveness of the family support system. If you need a good attorney, you don't need to look any further. If you want to prevail in any type of family law dispute you must have sound legal representation. If you don't have a good attorney, you're not going to win. It's that simple. Marcy Millard has reasonable rates and her representation is top notch. There is no attorney out there who could have gotten a better result. I am constantly referring people to her because she knows what she's doing and she does it well. Family law is an emotional and sensitive matter. Don't waste time or money. If you want rock-solid representation, call Marcy.
Posted by Meredith
I met Marcy over three years ago while going through my divorce. I was immediately attracted to her philosophy to try to mediate amicably whenever possible. She was a voice of reason during a very emotional time. She had a very fair fee schedule and was extremely responsive. I never had to wait for an important call or email back from her. She is also very compassionate and focused on keeping the kids first in negotiations. I got a final judgement I was very satisfied with. In comparision to several friends who have gone through divorces, Marcy's professionalism and competency is head and shoulders above the rest. I have referred her to several friends with similiar results. Even 3 years later,
arcy is always available to help answer additional questions as they arise and provde guidance as needed. I highly recommend her.
Posted by Gerald
Attorney Marcy Millard proved to me her expertise at delving into and uncovering the history of my case. I appreciate her knowledge of family law; she put me at ease by researching, then communicating to me the most logical way to proceed based on the law. Her businesslike approach in following up with me removed any doubt about the status of my case. I'm absolutely pleased that she's representing me…and would recommend her to others seeking top-notch legal assistance.
Posted by Clint
I am so happy that I found Marcy and let her take charge of my case.
After 9 months in a messy custody case, I felt like my attorney (not Marcy) was not working to help me as much as she was just going through the motions and charging me a lot to do very little. Looking back it's apparent her lack of actions caused as much problems and grief than she helped me.
I decided to make a change and was fortunate enough to find Ms. Millard of The Millard Law Firm. Marcy has shown that she is very knowledgeable of the law and the family law system, and has used that to eliminate a lot of the issues that I was having with my ex, which has been great for my daughter. Marcy has shown a true concern for my daughter's well being, while at the same time made me feel like I am in great hands, which has relieved a great deal of stress.
I highly recommend Marcy to anyone who is about to step into, or has been pushed into, a divorce or custody situation. Having had two different attorneys for this case, I can say that she is without a doubt the attorney you want on your side.

If you checked out FP 38, you heard a little about what Austin (GeeWunner) was doing to get Joe Kreons proper, accurate rides and accessories. You also heard Andrew (Twitziller) drop some serious brick knowledge. Since then the two have joined forces to release an army of RAH-accurate vehicles and accessories with Austin artfully creating each one on the west coast and Andrew beautifully photographing and marketing them far away, mid-U.S. of A. As this is being written, a small battalion consisting of the Water Moc, Ferret, C.L.A.W., Night Landing, Polar Battle Bear, Sky Hawk, AWE and Weapon Transport are housed in at FP HQ. There are many more to come! Listen and get the latest intel. We think this project is about to take off! Do you think we'll see a black HISS soon?

Flag Points #41 - Vintage 12″ Joe!• June 28th, 2013
It took us too long to record a show focused on vintage 12" G.I. Joe, but it's here! Great friend and dedicated 12" Joe collector, Matt McKeeby allowed Dave and Don to infiltrate Adventure Team HQ -- located on the top-secret, third floor of his compound to record FP #41 right in the middle of a complete, beautiful run of Hasbro Joes 1964-1976. It was a real treat for us to all be live, on location and we think you'll be able to hear the fun! We were sorry Rob couldn't make it. He needs to see the collection in person! See Matt's collection here: http://www.shout.net/~scg/collections/pages/mattmckeeby.html and on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUDR2x9u2gI&feature=youtu.be. Thanks Matt!

Rob and Dave could hang for a little while, but soon Don and Marc riffed back and forth about their passion - real-life military equipment and the toys that emulate the genuine articles. 40 is like one, enormous "Scaled Up!" Listen for Don's quiz question which yields a very cool, signed prize from Mr. Kirk Bozigian! Thanks, Kirk!

We talk about Brian's upcoming trip to Rapid City, SD for his very own clinic (and Midwest Joe convention) planned for May 18th! What an awesome opportunity to meet up with fellow Joe fans, get some great toys and meet the man himself! For more info, visit: http://barkingfridge.blogspot.com. Thanks a ton, Brian, for this incredible conversation and the silly bits I appreciate more than you know! This was so much fun, we must do it again, no?

Flag Points Micro Ep #8 - Sideshow Crimson Guard Review• April 19th, 2013
Sideshow has impressed us yet again with their interpretation of the Cobra Elite Trooper! On Micro 8, Dave reviews the Sideshow Collectibles 1/6th scale Real American Hero Crimson Guard. This classic character from Hasbro's 1985 wave is incredibly detailed and very faithful to the original release. It's one of our fav SSC Joe releases to date, which was a little surprising, actually. These figs are so impressive in hand! If you don't have this fig and have been on the fence, we recommend picking him up now while he's still in stock! (Links on the left of our site.) Can't wait for Cobra Commander, Major Bludd and many others announced and teased to. We also have some requests of our own! ("Moore" Joes, please.) Thanks, Sideshow! Keep 'em coming!

Flag Points #39 - Kirk Bozigian - JoeCon/Retaliation• April 16th, 2013
We always love it when Kirk joins us on FP and this time was no exception! On this show, Dave, Don, Rob and Kirk chat about Retaliation, Joe Con 2013 and GI Joe as a brand/property and beloved entity. Because we all love Joe, we can never help but talk about what we think the brand needs to survive and thrive when Kirk's around. This is one of our favorite topics to discuss when we have one of the key men on who made you want those articulated figs and detailed vehicles so bad you begged anyone with a wallet or pocketbook to buy you Flash or the Water Moccasin. This was recorded one day after Joe Con. One note -- we know it's "Adventure Team," in the US and not "Action Team." Slips can happen! Thanks again, Kirk! Here's to GI Joe becoming a phenom again like it was in the 80's!

seven ages of man poem All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
5 His acts being seven ages. At first the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse's arms;
And then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
10 Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress' eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
15 Even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
20 Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
25 And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

Mass mobilization (also known as social mobilization or popular mobilization) refers to mobilization of civilian population as part of contentious politics. Mass mobilization is often used by grassroots-based social movements, including revolutionary movements, but can also become a tool of elites and the state itself. The process usually takes the form of large public gatherings such as mass meetings, marches, parades, processions and demonstrations. Those gatherings usually are part of a protest action.
Mass mobilization is defined as a process that engages and motivates a wide range of partners and allies at national and local levels to raise awareness of and demand for a particular development objective through face-to-face dialogue. Members of institutions, community networks, civic and religious groups and others work in a coordinated way to reach specific groups of people for dialogue with planned messages. In other words, social mobilization seeks to facilitate change through a range of players engaged in interrelated and complementary efforts.[1]

Good morning students, school board members,
superintendent and district staff.
First, I would like to thank all of you, from teachers to
friends and family, for being in attendance this morning. You
have all had a profound impact on the development of the
students that will be graduating today, and I feel it is safe to say
that I speak on behalf of the whole graduating Class of 2015, in
thanking you for all of your efforts that you have invested in us
to this day.
When I first sat down to write this speech, tons of thoughts
were flowing through my mind. Am I going to reminisce about
memories of great importance to me? How about speaking of
significant events for the entire school? What is the message I
should try to convey? Will I pass out or just be at a loss for
words, because to be honest, I did not think I had it in me to do
this. But the most important goal I strove for was to create a
speech that was truly different. Not that bored people to sleep or
followed the traditional "your journey ends here, but a new one
begins" format, but instead offered excitement and new insight
into this monumental day. However, it is more so about your
accomplishments and the best way for me to craft inspiration
and motivation in you all.
Today is no small feat. It perhaps is the most significant
and life altering achievement most of you can claim to this day.
Never hesitate to recognize how proud each and every person
here today is for you to complete such a long and difficult task.
Having worked for over thirteen years just for this moment, it is
hard to ignore the determination, perseverance, patience, hardwork
and even sacrifice that embodies itself the attitudes of
every graduate. The innumerable amount of opportunities your
diploma enables you to attain is without doubt, and I encourage
all of you to pursue what is most dear to you. Pursue that in
which you feel you can make a difference.
Looking at you, the Class of 2015, I realize that after today,
I may no longer see many of you. That is a painful thought. On
the other hand, I am also filled with anticipation, because I have
no doubt in my mind that every single one of you sitting before
me has the potential to succeed and make a difference in life. Of
course, not every one of us can be rich, famous, and powerful,
but often times it is the people who just offer words of advice
and encouragement that make the world a better place. It is
human nature to reflect the mood of others in your own actions,
so positive words and actions could have an overwhelming
impact on the moods and quality of life of others. The
future looks bright.
Throughout my years in high school, not only have I gained
knowledge of the subjects I have studied, but I have learned
many other lessons as well. At times I know some of you
questioned the need to attend class, but gaining intelligence is
not the only purpose of it. School has helped to build priceless
social skills, as well as, instilled a value to succeed. I don't
know about you, but when I see others performing well, I take it
as a challenge to try my best as well. Having the correct mindset
makes all of the difference. If you believe you can achieve
anything, and don't allow others to tell you differently, what you
are capable of achieving is genuinely amazing.
I would like to conclude my speech with a quote from
Robert Frost. "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the
road less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." I
encourage you, the Class of 2015, to not only follow the
opportunities available to you, but to follow your heart and
pursue a cause of particular importance to you. Instead of
following the path of past generations and graduating classes, I
challenge you all to make your own path. The risks are always
present, but the battle always makes the win so much sweeter.
For me, it is neither about the money nor the notoriety of a
position, but instead whether I can make a difference and love
what I do.
Thanks again to all the families, friends, teachers, and any
others I have missed, for your contributions. They are greatly
Congratulations again, Class of 2010, and I wish you all the
best of luck. I know you'll do your best. I'll miss you all.
Thank you!

The culture of Thailand incorporates cultural beliefs and characteristics indigenous to the area known as modern-day Thailand coupled with much influence from ancient China, Cambodia, Laos, India along with the neighboring pre-historic cultures of Southeast Asia.[1] It is influenced primarily by animism, Hinduism, Buddhism, as well as by later migrations from China, and northern India.

Main article: Religion in Thailand
Thailand is nearly 94%-95% Theravada Buddhist (which includes the Thai Forest Tradition and the Dhammayuttika Nikaya and Santi Asoke sects), with minorities of Muslims (5-6%), Christians (1%), Mahayana Buddhists, and other religions.[2] Thai Theravada Buddhism is supported and overseen by the government, with monks receiving a number of government benefits, such as free use of the public transportation infrastructure.
Buddhism in Thailand is strongly influenced by traditional beliefs regarding ancestral and natural spirits, which have been incorporated into Buddhist cosmology. Most Thai people own spirit houses, miniature wooden houses in which they believe household spirits live. They present offerings of food and drink to these spirits to keep them happy. If these spirits aren't happy, it is believed that they will inhabit the larger household of the Thai, and cause chaos. These spirit houses can be found in public places and in the streets of Thailand, where the public make offerings.[3]
Prior to the rise of Theravada Buddhism, both Indian Brahmanic religion and Mahayana Buddhism were present in Thailand. Influences from both these traditions can still be seen in present day Thai folklore. Brahmanist shrines play an important role in Thai folk religion, and the Mahayana Buddhist influence is reflected in the presence of figures like Lokesvara, a form of the bodhisattva Avalokitesvara sometimes incorporated into Thailand's iconography.[4][5]

Thai greeting, the smile is an important symbol of refinement in Thai culture.
The traditional customs and the folklore of Thai people were gathered and described by Phya Anuman Rajadhon in the 20th century, at a time when modernity changed the face of Thailand and a great number of traditions disappeared or became adapted to modern life. Still, the striving towards refinement, rooted in ancient Siamese culture, consisting of promoting that which is refined and avoiding coarseness is a major focus of the daily life of Thai people and high on their scale of values.[6]
One of the most distinctive Thai customs is the wai. Used in greetings, leave-taking, or as an acknowledgement, it comes in many forms, reflecting the relative status of those involved. Generally the salutation involves a prayer-like gesture with the hands, similar to the Añjali Mudrā of the Indian subcontinent, and it also may include a slight bow of the head. This salutation is often accompanied by a serene smile symbolizing a welcoming disposition and a pleasant attitude. Thailand is often referred to as the "land of smiles" in tourist brochures.
Public displays of affection is not overly common in traditional Thai society, especially between lovers.[7] It is becoming more common, especially among the younger generation.
A notable social norm holds that touching someone on the head may be considered rude. It is also considered rude to place one's feet at a level above someone else's head, especially if that person is of higher social standing. This is because the Thai people consider the foot to be the dirtiest and lowliest part of the body, and the head the most respected and highest part of the body. This also influences how Thais sit when on the ground—their feet always pointing away from others, tucked to the side or behind them. Pointing at or touching something with the feet is also considered rude.
Display of respect of the younger towards the elder is a cornerstone value in Thailand. A family during the Buddhist ceremony for young men who are to be ordained as monks.
Since serene detachment is valued, conflict and sudden displays of anger are eschewed in Thai culture and, as is many Asian cultures, the notion of face is extremely important. For these reasons, visitors should take care not to create conflict, to display anger or to cause a Thai person to lose face. Disagreements or disputes should be handled with a smile and no attempt should be made to assign blame to another. In everyday life in Thailand, there is a strong emphasis on the concept of sanuk; the idea that life should be fun. Because of this, Thais can be quite playful at work and during day-to-day activities. Displaying positive emotions in social interactions is also important in Thai culture.
Often, Thais will deal with disagreements, minor mistakes, or misfortunes by using the phrase mai pen rai, translated as "it doesn't matter". The ubiquitous use of this phrase in Thailand reflects a disposition towards minimizing conflict, disagreements or complaints. A smile and the sentence "mai pen rai" indicates that the incident is not important and therefore there is no conflict or shame involved.
Respect for hierarchy is a very important value for Thai people. The custom of bun khun emphasizes the indebtedness towards parents, as well as towards guardians, teachers, and caretakers. It describes the feelings and practices involved in certain relationships organized around generalized reciprocity, the slow-acting accounting of an exchange calculated according to locally interpreted scales and measures.[8] It is also considered rude to step on any type of Thai currency (Thai coin or banknote) as they include a likeness of the king.
The 1941-42 Thai cultural mandates, promulgated by Plaek Pibulsonggram, made sweeping changes in Thai culture. Modernization efforts discouraged the wearing of women's traditional costumes, in favour of more modern forms of dress
There are a number of Thai customs relating to the special status of monks in Thai society. Thai monks are forbidden physical contact with women. Women are therefore expected to make way for passing monks to ensure that accidental contact does not occur. A variety of methods are employed to ensure that no incidental contact (or the appearance of such contact) between women and monks occurs. Women making offerings to monks place their donation at the feet of the monk, or on a cloth laid on the ground or a table. Powders or unguents intended to carry a blessing are applied to Thai women by monks using the end of a candle or stick. Laypersons are expected to sit or stand with their heads at a lower level than that of a monk. Within a temple, monks may sit on a raised platform during ceremonies to make this easier to achieve.
When sitting in a temple, one is expected to point one's feet away from images of the Buddha. Shrines inside Thai residences are arranged so as to ensure that the feet are not pointed towards the religious icons, such as placing the shrine on the same wall as the head of a bed, if a house is too small to remove the shrine from the bedroom entirely.
It is also customary to remove one's footwear before entering a home or the sacred areas within a temple, and not to step on the threshold.
Traditional clothing

Main article: Chut thai
Traditional Thai clothing is called chut thai (Thai: ชุดไทย Thai pronunciation: [tɕʰút.tʰaj]) which literally means "Thai outfit". It can be worn by men, women, and children. Chut thai for women usually consists of a pha nung or a chong kraben, a blouse, and a sabai. Northern and northeastern women may wear a sinh instead of a pha nung and a chong kraben with either a blouse or a suea pat. Chut thai for men includes a chong kraben or pants, a Raj pattern shirt, with optional knee-length white socks and a sabai. Chut thai for northern Thai men is composed of a sado, a white Manchu styled jacket, and sometimes a khian hua. In formal occasions, people may choose to wear a chut thai phraratchaniyom.
A traditional wedding in Thailand.
Main article: Thai marriage
Thai Buddhist marriage ceremonies are generally divided into two parts: a Buddhist component, which includes the recitation of prayers and the offering of food and other gifts to monks and images of the Buddha, and a non-Buddhist component rooted in folk traditions, which centers on the couple's families.
In former times, it was unknown for Buddhist monks to be present at any stage of the marriage ceremony itself. As monks were required to attend to the dead during funerals, their presence at a marriage (which was associated with fertility, and intended to produce children) was considered a bad omen. A couple would seek a blessing from their local temple before or after being married, and might consult a monk for astrological advice in setting an auspicious date for the wedding. The non-Buddhist portions of the wedding would take place away from the temple, and would often take place on a separate day.
In modern times, these prohibitions have been significantly relaxed. It is not uncommon for a visit to a temple to be made on the same day as the non-Buddhist portions of a wedding, or even for the wedding to take place within the temple. While a division is still commonly observed between the "religious" and "secular" portions of a wedding service, it may be as simple as the monks present for the Buddhist ceremony departing to take lunch once their role is complete.
During the Buddhist component of the wedding service, the couple first bow before the image of the Buddha. They then recite certain basic Buddhist prayers or chants (typically including taking the Three Refuges and the Five Precepts), and light incense and candles before the image. The parents of the couple may then be called upon to "connect" them, by placing upon the heads of the bride and groom twin loops of string or thread that link the couple together. The couple may then make offerings of food, flowers, and medicine to the monks present. Cash gifts (usually placed in an envelope) may also be presented to the temple at this time.
The monks may then unwind a small length of thread that is held between the hands of the assembled monks. They begin a series of recitations of Pali scriptures intended to bring merit and blessings to the new couple. The string terminates with the lead monk, who may connect it to a container of water that will be "sanctified" for the ceremony. Merit is said to travel through the string and be conveyed to the water. A similar arrangement is used to transfer merit to the dead at a funeral, further evidence of the weakening of the taboo on mixing funerary imagery and trappings with marriage ceremonies. Blessed water may be mixed with wax drippings from a candle lit before the Buddha image and other unguents and herbs to create a paste that is then applied to the foreheads of the bride and groom to create a small dot, similar to the marking made with red ochre on Hindu devotees. The bride's mark is created with the butt end of the candle rather than the monk's thumb, in keeping with the Vinaya prohibition against touching women.
The highest-ranking monk present may elect to say a few words to the couple, offering advice or encouragement. The couple may then make offerings of food to the monks, at which point the Buddhist portion of the ceremony is concluded.
The Thai dowry system is known as the sin sodt Thai: สินสอด. Traditionally, the groom will be expected to pay a sum of money to the family, to compensate them and to demonstrate that the groom is financially capable of taking care of their daughter. Sometimes, this sum is purely symbolic, and will be returned to the bride and groom after the wedding has taken place.
The religious component of marriage ceremonies between Thai Muslims are markedly different from that described above. The Imam of the local mosque, the groom, the father of the bride, men in the immediate family, and important men in the community sit in a circle during the ceremony, conducted by the Imam. All the women, including the bride, sit in a separate room and do not have any direct participation in the ceremony. The secular component of the ceremony, however, is often nearly identical to the secular part of Thai Buddhist wedding ceremonies. The only notable difference here is the type of meat served to guests (goat and/or beef instead of pork). Thai Muslims frequently, though not always, also follow the conventions of the Thai dowry system.
Birth traditions and beliefs
Main article: Birth in Thailand
Traditional principles concerning pregnancy and childbirth are largely influenced by folk beliefs, especially in rural areas of central and north Thailand. Modern practices follow the Western medical model.
See also: Funeral (Buddhism)
Funeral pyre of Chan Kusalo, the patriarch-abbot of northern Thailand.
Traditionally, funerals last for at least one week. Crying is discouraged during the funeral, so as not to worry the spirit of the deceased. Many activities surrounding the funeral are intended to make merit for the deceased. Copies of Buddhist scriptures may be printed and distributed in the name of the deceased, and gifts are usually given to a local temple. Monks are invited to chant prayers that are intended to provide merit for the deceased, as well as to provide protection against the possibility of the dead relative returning as a malicious spirit. A picture of the deceased from his/her best days will often be displayed next to the coffin. Often, a thread is connected to the corpse or coffin which is held by the chanting monks during their recitation; this thread is intended to transfer the merit of the monks' recitation to the deceased. The corpse is cremated, and the urn with the ash is usually kept in a chedi in the local temple.
Thai Chinese and Thai Muslim minorities bury their deceased according to the rituals of their respective communities.

Main articles: Thai art and Music of Thailand
Thai visual arts were traditionally Buddhist. Thai Buddha images from different periods have a number of distinctive styles. Thai temple art and architecture evolved from a number of sources, one of them being Khmer architecture. Contemporary Thai art often combines traditional Thai elements with modern techniques.
Literature in Thailand is heavily influenced by Indian Hindu culture. The most notable works of Thai literature are a version of the Ramayana, a Hindu religious epic, called the Ramakien, written in part by Kings Rama I and Rama II, and the poetry of Sunthorn Phu.
There is no tradition of spoken drama in Thailand, the role instead being filled by Thai dance. This is divided into three categories: khon, lakhon, and likay, khon being the most elaborate and likay the most popular. Nang drama, a form of shadow play, is found in the south.
The music of Thailand includes classical and folk music traditions, e.g., piphat and mor lam, respectively) as well as string or pop music.
Main article: Public holidays in Thailand
Important holidays in Thai culture include Thai New Year, or Songkran, which is officially observed from 13–15 April each year. Falling at the end of the dry season and during the hot season in Thailand, the celebrations notoriously feature boisterous water throwing. The water throwing stemmed from washing Buddha images and lightly sprinkling scented water on the hands of elderly people. Small amounts of scented talcum powder were also used in the annual cleansing rite. In recent decades, water fights have been increasingly industrialised with use of hoses, barrels, squirt guns, water-filled surgical tubing, and copious amounts of powder.
Loi Krathong is held on the 12th full moon of the Thai lunar calendar, usually early-November. While not a government-observed holiday, it is nonetheless an auspicious day in Thai culture, in which Thai people "loi", meaning "to float" a "krathong", a small raft traditionally made from elaborately folded banana leaves and including flowers, candles, incense sticks, and small offerings. The act of floating away the candle raft is symbolic of letting go of all one's grudges, anger, and defilements so that one can start life afresh on a better footing.
Thai boxing is the indigenous national sport in Thailand.[citation needed] Football is perhaps the most-watched sport. The English Premier League is surprisingly popular.[citation needed]
Traditional Games of Thailand
Kratai Kha Deow(One Legged Rabbit)
"Kratai Kha Deow" or "One Legged Rabbit" is one type of catch game. The catcher will call the rabbit, and the rabbit must stand on one leg and jump or tiptoe to catch the other players and switch to rabbit instead. This game will exercise your legs and practice balancing on one leg. The number of players are divided into two teams, or may not have a team at all. Normally, there are two or more players. At the first time, the player will select the rabbit or team by "Rock-Paper-Scissors". The loser would have to be a rabbit.

A player who runs out of space loses the game and must be switched to rabbit, but if the rabbit is exhausted and cannot stand on one leg, it was that defeated and must be punished.
In team play, the rules are similar to the solo player, but the rabbit team will send a representative to catch the other team to all the people. Those arrested will have to wait outside until the rabbit team can catch all of the rival teams. Rabbit team can switch to teammates to catch on until they are exhausted, and if the all of the members in rabbit team are exhausted and cannot stand on one leg, the rabbit team lose the game and must be punished too.

GLP's third quarter earnings rise by 31% to $139 million
Published on Feb 6, 2013 8:33 PM
THIRD quarter net profit at Global Logistic Properties (GLP) rose 30.7 per cent to US$112.8 million (S$138.7 million) as it completed and stabilised development projects in China.
Contributions from China's Transfar Logistics Base Company and GLP Suzhou Development Company also helped, as did asset management and development fee income from joint ventures in Japan.
These positive factors were partially offset by the weakening of the Japanese yen against the United States dollar, as revenue rose 19.9 per cent to US$173.5 million for the three months to Dec 31.
GLP's co-founder and chairman Jeffrey Schwartz called the quarter "transformational" for the firm, a provider of logistics facilities.
