Charitable at heart

A caring home in Phangnga set up to help children orphaned by the tsunami also has plenty to appeal to tourists

The pitter-patter of tiny feet resonating from the football field was unmistakable sign that children were having a good time.

I was visiting Beluga School for Life Charity Travel _ an aid project initiated by German shipping magnate Niels Stolberg _ which aside from sheltering and educating children orphaned by the tsunami and other underprivileged kids since 2004, offers visitors an opportunity to familiarise with the local culture and customs, and understand the concept under which the school was set up via campus tours and outdoor activities.

The school located in a valley in Ban Na Nai village of Phangnga's Thai Muang district is a short distance from the popular tourist resort of Khao Lak, not long ago witness to a tragedy, the tsunami that ravaged south Thailand that fateful morning after Christmas in 2004, which caused huge damage leading to extensive loss of life and property.

There is a beautifully landscaped resort within the school compound for tourists. Proceeds from what guests spend on accommodation, meals and excursions go to support the students' education and welfare.

The morning we arrived, students from kindergarten to sixth grade could be seen scampering in line to start their day for daily exercises. Joining them were an eager group of elderly German tourists. The children seemed delighted at having visitors in their midst.

To make the most of your stay it is advisable to orient yourself to the school's environs by getting involved in activities on offer there. Guided tours enable you to mingle with students and teachers.

During the campus tour I got to observe their self-sufficiency programme which is inclusive of organic farming and bakery classes. There is also a centre for religion where students of all faiths are welcome.

Popular activities among tourists include fruit carving, native Thai dances and cooking classes, market tours and trekking.

While excursions can be tailored to request, I decided to explore Thai Muang district on my own. A 10-minute drive from the school is Na Nai Boon, a Buddhist monastery atop a mountain complete with meditation facilities in the form of stand-alone huts, each set in lush surroundings to get participants close to nature. The abbot, a slimly built man, reminded us that meditation is not for the faint-hearted as everyone had to adhere to strict rules and just one meal, usually breakfast, was allowed a day.

My next stop was the Leng San Keng shrine, a few metres from the entrance to Thai Muang market. A popular place for worship, locals usually come here asking for good health and end up praying before the statue of Cho Su Kong, the Hokkien god of medicine, one of the many Chinese deities enshrined there.

Also worth checking out is the Bangklee Pakistan Mosque in whose vicinity is a restaurant that serves trademark milk tea and delicacies, much patronised by the locals.

A factory churning out exquisite bamboo furniture was my last stop before heading back to the school, where I said my goodbyes to the students the following day.

Beluga School for Life offers pickup service from the airport to the school and vice versa. To take public transport, take an airport bus from Phuket airport to Thanon Main (80 baht) and then hop on inter-provincial buses on the route to Surat Thani. Get off at Ban Thung Maphrao village (80-90 baht) and take a motorcycle taxi to the school (40-50 baht).

For more information on Beluga School for Life Charity Travel, call: 085-473-3615, fax: 076-445-168, website: www.charity-travel-thailand.com/.

Given its lush vegetation and mountainous location, the school is popular among trekkers. Archarn Charniwat, who heads the school’s organic farm project, usually leads excursions that reward visitors with a view of the area’s exotic flora.

The cheerful mood of these girls reflects the love and attention they have received since becoming part of the Beluga family. Apart from the teachers and administrative staff, the students are looked after by wardens male and female, each of whom is in charge of 10 children. Their homework and general needs are also closely monitored.

Tourists learn Thai cooking from experienced hands and in the process get to appreciate the value of spices and herbs that are an integral part of every dish. The school’s organic farm supplies a portion of the ingredients used, but soon it plans to expand cultivation so that the produce can be sold in the market to generate income for the school. For a small donation, guests can also plant commemorative plants.

Baking classes conducted by career chefs are popular with children and visitors.

The statue of Cho Su Kong.

The Leng San Keng shrine is 131 years old. Visitors with health problems come here seeking cure from the Hokkien god of medicine Cho Su Kong. Sharing the same roof are Chinese gods of wealth and prosperity. Located in Thai Muang district, it is the venue for all major Chinese festivals held in town.

Morning workout with the kids is a nice time to recharge your own batteries. The pleasant weather plus the beautiful natural setting is refreshing to the eyes and soul. The smiling faces of these little children is a real treat to experience up close.

Beluga’s tourist accommodation compromises 18 cosy villas fitted with basic amenities, while the presence of a swimming pool more or less makes up for the lack of a beach. Its Thai chef has years of experience working in four-star hotels, so guests can expect decent local, international and fusion food, while there is a conscious attempt to make the dishes as nutritious as possible.

Budding talents enjoy a game of football. Sports are very much part of their extracurricular activities and upbringing.

Despite their tumultuous past, these children now enjoy a new lease of life, best in evidence on the playground when they let their emotions go. Play time is based on age and most of their playing kit comes from donation. The children are polite and friendly, often greeting you with a ‘wai’.

Colorfully painted dormitories and their scenic ambience make for a neat accommodation for students.

Beluga is school, as well as home, to about 150 boys and girls who study there from kindergarten to sixth grade, and beyond that at provincial schools. Manoon Kalapat, director of Beluga’s Hotel Training Institute, is happy lending his services to these underprivileged children because he himself was the recipient of such support from a charity organisation when still young.

Five-minute ride from Beluga school takes you to Uncle Vean’s bamboo furniture factory, for the past 10 years source of chairs and tables to resorts operating in the vicinity. He and his staff are happy to demonstrate to visitors how they put together a piece of furniture from scratch.

One of the meditation huts at the Na Nai Boon monastery. Soon there will be similar facilities for women—at the foot of the hill. Meditation sessions begin with chants led by its abbot and can be quite taxing, particularly to city slickers. So think twice before joining!

This coffee joint without a name belongs to 63-year-old Samina. Located opposite the mosque, it is a good place to enjoy a delicious cup of hot milk tea. She uses charcoal fire to boil tea leaves sourced from Trang province. She also serves Thai coffee. It is a good spot to observe how the locals go about their daily chores. Dress modestly when visiting!

Yummy dishes worth sinking your teeth into. Krua Muslim is a popular openair eatery five mintues’ walk from the mosque. The food it serves is high on spices and condiments. Well, its owner is of Pakistani ancestry. But the dishes are essentially a blend of Thai-Muslim flavour.

Sitting in Na Toei village is Bangklee Pakistan Mosque built three years ago on the site of a former one over 70 years old. ‘Pakistan’ is in the name because the forebears of Ban Bangklee community came from there. The mosque is heart of the community where Muslims, no matter their origins, come to say daily prayers

Muslim boys dressed in traditional attire leave after saying their afternoon prayers.

Saving teak city's charm

Phrae province rediscovers its past, even as its old teak houses are being moved away,

Published: 20/02/2010 at 12:00 AM
Newspaper section: News

The northern province of Phrae - once dubbed "teak city" - is in danger of losing its good name as some old heritage homes are being moved elsewhere.

The imposing Khum Chao Luang Muang Phrae was the residence of Phrae’s former rulers. PHOTOS BY SUBIN KHEUNKAEW

Phrae was once famous for its huge reserves of sought-after gold teak.

The proof is in the province's expansive teak forests where the best-quality gold teak is still found in large concentrations in Mae Yom National Park.

The park is believed to be the country's last remaining source of gold teak.

Many businesses, particularly those from Western countries, have vied for logging concessions in Phrae over the last century.

Although logging has been banned for over two decades, demand for the gold teak persists.

Foreign firms, such as the East Asiatic Co and Bombay Burmah Trading Corporation, made their commercial presence felt in the province. They put up buildings made of teak which are still standing.

A teak villa that once belonged to Denmark’s East Asiatic Company, which began doing business in the province in 1897 when logging was flourishing.

Other historical buildings made of golden teak in Phrae include schools and hospitals built by Western missionaries, and old houses constructed around the time of King Rama V, when old Siam started opening to international trade.

Teak is also recognised as the province's emblem.

Now, a project is being carried out to study Phrae's history and to preserve historical buildings and places in the province.

For some conservationists, however, the project has come too late.

Some owners have sold old teak houses and moved the parts elsewhere.

The houses are dismantled and parts transported out of the province to be re-assembled elsewhere.

The reconstructed houses are now "permanent fixtures" in upscale resorts or are summer houses of the rich, says Ekkachai Wongworakul, president of the Phrae cultural council.

Another run-down heritage home, the highly unusual Ban Sib Liam, or Decagon Home, which is 10-sided.

The first survey conducted as part of the project shows there are more than 100 traditional houses that need to be preserved.

About 70 have been registered under the historical building preservation project.

A second survey, now under way, is likely to turn up more houses that need care.

The project was started by residents and is supported financially by state agencies and the private sector.

Phrae is still the province to visit for its teak building architecture and handicrafts. One example is the khum - homes of the city rulers in the old days. An entire house can be made of teak wood, from the supporting pillars to the roof. Most old houses with significant historical merit are more than 100 years old.

A leading example is Khum Chao Luang Muang Phrae, the ruler's residence, which won an outstanding architectural award in 1997.

The award was granted by Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn.

Khum Vichai Racha, a restored former residence of Chao Saen Samer Jai, a close relative of the last ruler of Phrae, was built before 1891.

The home was a combination of Thai and European colonial architecture and resembles a gingerbread house.

Built during the reign of King Rama V, the residence has served as the seat of government for the city and is testament to the province's historical richness.

Once, prisoners were kept in the basement. The detention room is windowless and dark.

Phrae Governor Somchai Hathayatanti says the province plans a festival highlighting its history. The highlight will be the basement prison at the residence.

"Northern people believe that if you walk backwards into a prison, you will be blessed with good luck," he says.

Their Majesties the King and Queen spent a night at the old house when they visited the province in 1958.

Consistent restoration work has ensured the key physical structures are still in their original condition.

US ambassador to Thailand Eric John visits the Serithai Museum in Phrae. The US embassy has donated funds for cultural preservation in the province.

The Phrae Provincial Administration Office has turned Khum Chao Luang Muang Phrae into a museum.

Old appliances and furniture including the bed in which the King and Queen slept during their stay are on display.

In the detention cell, visitors can see the chains used to restrain prisoners.

A prisoner sentenced to death appears in an illustration, getting his head cut off.

Efforts by the Phrae cultural council to preserve ancient buildings in the province are funded by both the private and public sectors.

Last year, the council's historical house preservation project received US$20,000 (663,000 baht) from the US embassy's fund for cultural preservation.

The fund allows American ambassadors to support efforts in their host countries to rescue cultural heritage that is fragile and in danger of being lost forever, says US ambassador to Thailand Eric John.

Phrae governor Somchai Hathayatanti leads a tour of old basement detention cells where inmates were chained up.

A wooden home with an unusual facade requires immediate conservation work to save it.

The world by bike

Pablo Garcia pedals through Thailand after 75,000km, 64 countries and five continents on two wheels

Published: 21/02/2010 at 12:00 AM
Newspaper section: Brunch

It's not at all hard to spot Pablo Garcia at the Santi Chaiprakarn Park, even when you've never met him before. Dressed in a white polo shirt, dark toreador trousers and sports sandals, Garcia could blend in with the dozens of tourists. What does make him stand out from the foreign crowd is his almost worn-out mountain bicycle, loaded with the basic necessities.

TWO WHEELS MEETS THREE: After riding around the world over the past eight years, Pablo Garcia recently pedalled to Sanam Luang in Bangkok, where he encountered his first tuk-tuk. PHOTOS: YINGYONG UN-ANONGRAK

This is the guy who claims to have travelled 75,632 kilometres through 64 countries in five continents over the past eight years on a bicycle.

Sometimes he flies between countries, and at one point he found a cycling companion from Italy to the Middle East. However, the plan to tour the world by bike was started on his own, and it was a trip that changed his perception of life, and his view of the world.

"Before, I often felt so empty at the end of the day," he said. "I didn't want to end up working just for money in the next 15 years."

Travelling with him over the thousands of kilometres are the 80kg of necessities that include a few cycling jerseys, T-shirts, shorts and trousers, a jacket, sleeping bag, mattress, tent, portable kitchen, tools and spare parts, and some photographic equipment - enough to survive even without a shelter. He recently arrived in Bangkok on his third bicycle - the first two had been worn out - the 65th country in which he will record the people, landscapes, sites and cities.

PHOTO: PABLO GARCIA

He is heading to the North to meet more people and for vipassana courses. For him, the whole of Asia is still waiting to be explored.

The 36-year-old university dropout left his home in Buenos Aires to explore the world from Brazil, where he spent four years working as a tour guide and ended up as a business partner for a tour agent in Maceio, Alagoas.

After dreaming of seeing the world with his own eyes for a year, Garcia decided to give up his sea-view apartment, his career and business in the beach town nine years ago. "I couldn't wait any more."

Garcia told himself that if he wanted to make it around the world, he should be able to make it home on two wheels. He bought himself a used bicycle that wasn't his size and spent the next six months on a 10,000km route back home. He spent almost all his savings and another year in Buenos Aires studying the route, preparing a website and finding sponsors before packing his bags for "The World by Bike" project.

It's never easy to travel on your own. And preparation is never enough before you hit the road. He became lost on his first landing in Djibouti and Danakil in Northeast Africa - a tough area of the world and one the solo cyclist believed would make him strong enough to travel the rest of the world.

PREPARED: Packed on his 10kg bicycle is everything he needs, all 80kg of it.

"A villager told me I'd arrive at the next village only if I went straight," Garcia recalled of the several morning hours alone in the desert in a world totally different from the one he wanted to experience. But how straight can a cyclist ride in a vast desert without a compass or a GPS device?

He was cycling in the middle of nowhere until he ran into a French army group that spared him some water in the late morning before he met a man who guided him to the next village, which welcomed him even though the villagers didn't have much to eat.

In the desert he survived on maize and water provided by villagers. In the city, he survived on donations from entrepreneurs who thought it strange for a white man to ask for money on the continent.

Before the trip became a routine of travelling by day and resting at night, Garcia chose to meet people and befriend them. Some were kind enough to provide him with hotel rooms. He was sometimes invited to stay overnight at strangers' houses.

"I only looked into their eyes to find the sincerity," he says. Although it's hard to tell by looking into people's eyes, Garcia has never made a wrong judgement all these eight years. However, a robbery cost him a video camera one night when he stayed in the tent by himself and caused him several sleepless nights afterwards.

RECORD: the kilometres Garcia has travelled in eight years.

Life became easier when he arrived in Europe.

He survived the first two years on the postcards and photos of the places he photographed. He regularly shares interesting stories and people he meets on his website, http://www.theworldbybike.com.

On two wheels he has a chance to test his physical and mental strength. He has experienced extreme weather, the kindness of strangers and the cruelty of robbers.

Through the kilometres he's travelled, Garcia has gradually developed empathy and tolerance towards a different society and culture.

"It's not your country, not your culture. It's another country, another mentality. How could you decide what's good for them?" Seeing things with his own eyes in different places around the world has also taught him that things are not always the way they seem to be.

During his trip around Thailand, the baptised Catholic took a few vipassana courses that he'd always been interested in. But his belief in God remains firm. "I believe that there's only one God for all. And everyone is a child of God."

Garcia also believes it's the one God for all that has guided him along the route these eight years. And he will be guided throughout Asia before touring North America in the next two years.

His plan to return home in the near future isn't to finish university or run a business. He feels he has a lot more to offer people at home. He wants to become a motivational speaker to inspire people in their lives and careers.

He can't say when that will happen, though. It may be in one or two years. "But who knows? It could be longer than two years," says Garcia, laughing about his two years in Europe instead of the previous one-year plan.

But no matter when that day comes, he is certain that his eight years on two wheels will help inspire people to think of a life beyond their 9-to-5 jobs.

S.Korea to start offshore drilling for gas hydrates

By Manager Online

17 February 2010 13:17

This photo retrieved February 16, 2010 is from http://www.marketoracle.co.uk. Gas hydrates are a semi-solid mixture of methane gas and water molecules that are created by water pressure and cold temperatures found deep in the ocean.

February 17, 2010
SEOUL (AFP) - South Korea will start exploratory drilling for gas hydrates off its east coast in April as part of a drive to acquire alternative energy resources, officials said Tuesday.

The Ministry of Knowledge Economy said the drilling would take place from April 1 through May 15 at a cost of 37 million dollars.

South Korea carried out its first exploratory drilling for gas hydrates in 2007. A drill ship from Britain's Fugro Synergy will be used for the second operation south of Ulleung Island off the east coast.

Gas hydrates are a semi-solid mixture of methane gas and water molecules that are created by water pressure and cold temperatures found deep in the ocean.

Ministry officials believe the deposit of gas hydrates may reach 600 million tons, enough to meet the country's natural gas demands for up to 30 years. They plan to commercially extract gas hydrates from 2015.

South Korea is the world's fifth largest crude importer. It has no proven oil or gas reserves.

Indonesian group prefers gold as dollar loses shine

This photo was taken in October 2009. Reuters photo. Indonesian Muslims prefer gold dinars and silver dirhams to paper dollars. Wakala Induk Nusantara (WIN) is the body responsible for regulating the issuance and distribution of the dinar in the world's most populous Muslim-majority country.

by Presi Mandari, February 17, 2010
JAKARTA (AFP) - Guided by a Scottish-born convert to Islam, a group of devout Indonesian Muslims is shunning "worthless" paper money in favour of gold and silver coins for their daily transactions.

The followers of Sheikh Abdalqadir as-Sufi -- born Ian Dallas -- trade goods like food, medicine, clothes and phone cards with gold dinars and silver dirhams in line with a strict interpretation of Islamic law.

Their anti-modern views sit uneasily with the naked capitalism of Indonesia's teeming capital, the financial and political centre of one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

"History has proven that, since the prophet Mohammed, the value of one gold dinar for thousands of years has always been equal to the value of one goat," said 33-year-old Kurniawati, who runs a shop in southern Jakarta.

Hoping to follow the example of Mohammad and the first generations of Muslims, the sheikh's followers do their shopping with dirhams worth around 30,000 rupiah (3.20 dollars) and dinars worth 1.43 million (153 dollars).

And they want the government -- or preferably a worldwide Islamic caliphate -- to replace paper currencies with the dinar that was used, in the words of the sheikh, "until the incursions of the kafir financiers in the Muslim lands".

Wakala Induk Nusantara (WIN) is the body responsible for regulating the issuance and distribution of the dinar in the world's most populous Muslim-majority country.

Coins minted in Indonesia are also in circulation in Australia, Malaysia and Singapore, WIN official Riki Rokhman Azis said.

The number of dinars on the local market more than doubled in 2009 to 25,000 pieces, reflecting the movement's growing popularity, he said.

"We decided to mint silver and gold coins in Indonesia following a fatwa issued by Sheikh Abdalqadir as-Sufi in Cape Town of South Africa, banning Muslims from using paper money," Azis told AFP.

Abdalqadir, a former playwright and actor who converted to Islam in the late 1960s, bitterly opposes modern capitalism and advocates a return to forms of Islamic law practised by the first generations after Mohammed.

These include seventh-century systems of trade and, in particular, the requirement of "zakat", or obligatory sharing of wealth, which he says must be done with gold or silver if it is paid in money.

Recent global economic upheavals, with their origins in the US mortgage and derivatives markets, have confirmed in the eyes of the sheikh that the final victory of Islamic finance is at hand.

In a blog on his website dated February 7, the sheikh pronounces the "historical, demonstrated end" of capitalism, and claims Western governments are using the threat of terrorism to distract people from this failure.

"It is time for the enslaved billions of our world today to fear no more the exploding shoes and underpants of the idiot agents of capitalism and to learn what Islam really is," he writes.

One of the key elements to being Muslim, he continues, is "following the messenger in all trade and contracts with honour (and) ... with real-value instruments of exchange like gold and silver".

Some Muslims have countered that a world economy based on gold coins would lead to a powerful cartel of gold-producing countries, while others have noted the potential for market chaos if gold replaced the greenback.

But for the sheikh's followers, such issues seem remote compared to the straightforward injunction to obey the Koran and emulate Mohammed.

"At least four people on average shop here every week with dinars, mostly buying things like rice, cooking oil, soap and clothes," said Kurniawati, a mother-of-three who also runs a dinar exchange service.

She became convinced of the wisdom of using dinars after her husband gave her a wedding dowry in gold coins eight years ago.

"A gold coin was worth 400,000 rupiah in 2002 but now it's at 1.45 million," she said proudly.

Several dinar users expressed a belief that gold never lost value, even though the currency has dropped 14 percent over the past year, according to rates tracked on local website Gerai Dinar.

The rupiah, meanwhile, has gained 29.17 percent against the US dollar since February 2009, while inflation last year was a record low of 2.78 percent. Consumer prices rose 11.07 percent in 2008.

Despite its recent gains, dinar users expressed a deep distrust of the rupiah, which tanked during the 1998-1999 Asian economic crisis.

"The value of the dinar and the dirham always goes up because the price of gold never falls," said food vendor Faturrahman.

"The price of food in rupiah, in contrast, is always rising. It gives me a headache as my income is becoming smaller and smaller."

Study shows why it is so scary to lose money

This photo retrieved February 15, 2010 is from http://www.dreamstime.com. Human beings' brain has the fear centre that controls people's reaction to gambling.

February 17, 2010
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - People are afraid to lose money and an unusual study released on Monday explains why -- the brain's fear centre controls the response to a gamble.

The study of two women with brain lesions that made them unafraid to lose on a gamble showed the amygdala, the brain's fear centre, activates at the very thought of losing money.

The finding, reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, offers insight into economic behaviour and suggests that humans evolved to be cautious about the prospects of losing food or other valued possessions.

Benedetto De Martinoa of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and University College of London and colleagues were studying why people will turn down gambles that are likely to lead to gain.

"Laboratory and field evidence suggests that people often avoid risks with losses even when they might earn a substantially larger gain, a behavioural preference termed 'loss aversion'," they wrote.

"For instance, people will avoid gambles in which they are equally likely to either lose $10 (6.40 pounds) or win $15, even though the expected value of the gamble is positive ($2.50)."

They studied two women with a rare genetic condition called Urbach-Wiethe disease, which damages the amygdala, the almond-shaped centre in the brain that controls fear and certain other acute emotions.

The researchers compared the women's responses to 12 people with undamaged brains. They noted this kind of study usually involves only a few people as it is not possible or ethical to deliberately damage a person's brain to see what happens.

The volunteers were asked to make gambles in which there was an equal probability they would win $20 or lose $5 (a risk most people will take) -- or would win or lose $20 (one most people will reject).

The two patients with damaged amygdalas fearlessly risked a $50 pot.

"We think this shows that the amygdala is critical for triggering a sense of caution towards making gambles in which you might lose," Colin Camerera of University College London, who worked in the study, said in a statement.

"A fully functioning amygdala appears to make us more cautious," added his colleague Ralph Adolphs. "We already know that the amygdala is involved in processing fear, and it also appears to make us 'afraid' to risk losing money."

The study could also help researchers understand why some people are more willing to take risks than others. Perhaps genetic differences in the DNA activated in the amygdala explain it, the researchers said.
