SECRET SANCTUARY "Experience traditional Thai elegance in a contemporary living space …with only nature at your doorstep"

Pimalai is one of those rare resorts whose architecture has been designed entirely around the natural contours and lush vegetation of over one hundred acres of grounds leading to 900 meters of pristine sandy beach.

Indulge in luxury in one of our elegantly designed pool villas, set high in the lush hillside allowing you to be as close as possible to nature. From your villa, all you will see is what has been there for thousands of years; virgin forest enveloping steep hills climbing into a blue sky.

The tranquility of the place, the abundance of flora, the exquisite views, the fiery sunsets, all combine to maximize the sensation of being in a heavenly place. Indeed the name of the resort “Pimalai” translates as heavenly. Enjoy a private romantic dinner on your terrace, sip champagne while dipping in your pool, or perhaps a soothing massage* in your villa’s sala…

Live, laugh, love and indulge in moments that will be remembered long after the holiday is over. *Complimentary in villa massage for guests who stay in March & April 2016, and from May to December 20th, 2016

Editor’s Ta l k 编 辑 寄 语

t’s no secret that Thailand is prone to drought. The 2016 summer issue of 24Life Magazine is addressing the problem of droughts regarded as one of the severest problems Thailand has encountered in past 20 years.

caused by human activities? Our community may initiate voluntary water restrictions, including some of the pre-drought conservation methods. State and government officials may impose restrictions on non-essential water use.

And this year is the driest on record.

Media have tried to encouraged us to realize the significance of water consumption management.

Most water is used outside of the home—mainly to irrigate landscaping. Most of a person’s household water footprint can go toward lawn and garden maintenance. We can also apply the four Rs - Rethink, Reuse, Reduce, Recycle – to be a lifestyle for a sustainable future. We all can play a major role in solidifying eco -friendly tourism businesses in our own community by enhancing awareness of local people as well as of tourists a nd entrepreneurs.

We all need to do our part to solve the drought—from saving water by changing our personal habits, to advocating for water efficiency reforms nationwide.

Thailand’s agricultural sector is affected by drastic drought the most, particularly a crops field cannot be done this year. We need to be more concerned about the impacts of drought on our everyday life though we are urban people.

With low water levels in the country, activities such as boating, fishing, and island touring become more difficult --boats don’t float in dry rivers, and fish can’t survive if there isn’t any water. The impact of drought is seen not only in rivers or dams, but also in local economies as tourism revenues decline. This is because several difference businesses in the tourism industry also depend on water, including hotels and resorts, spas, swimming pools, golf courses, etc. Don’t you agree that it’s time for us to lead up to drought conditions, as they are often

In this issue, 24Life Magazine takes you to several wonderful places of 9 countries in the Southeast Asian regions, including Indonesia— the world’s greatest island hopping with more than 17,000 islands.

Have a great time and don’t forget to be environmentally friendly.

在2016年的夏季，泰国正面临20年以来 最严重的旱灾。 全国上下都处在烈日的炙烤中，全国上 下都在呼吁节约用水。水库的淡水存量 不足以供应人们日常生活需要和农业灌 溉。缺水严重的影响了所有的泰国人正 常生活，尤其是农民，严重缺水使得今 年的农作物无法按期播种。 旱灾的出现，必定会影响旅游业，特别 是对酒店园林、度假村、温泉浴场、游 泳池，高尔夫球场，还有离岛旅游景点 的影响，这就需要我们来重新审视我们 的旅游方式。经营者和游客都应该同周

What makes this attraction superior to other pagodas across the country is that the pagoda is located on top of a huge golden boulder hanging over a steep cliff.

This temple complex was the center of the Khmer empire ruling most of Southeast Asia between 802 and 1220 AD. Though the Khmer civilization went extinct, its astonishing and enduring architectural achievements have 24 l 24 LIFE M a g a z i n e

Meal at Farm experience connects you to the most innovative and sustainable farmers within Thailand which considered to be the backbone of Thai culture. In the first series, we’ll be sharing the step of signature experience of a culinary journey of the Royal Project in Chiangmai.

The Royal Project in Thailand is the first of its kind and one of the most successful in Southeast Asia. His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand found this project in 1969 to tackle deforestation, poverty and opium production by offering a legal crop alternative. He discovered

a variety of peach trees that yielded higher income than opium poppies during a visit to a hill tribe village. Seeing that those were a more viable and lucrative solution to drug production, he encouraged the conversion of the farmers’ crops. There are now more than 350 types of vegetables being grown at The Royal Project.

Climb up the highest mountain of Thailand at “Doi Inthanon Royal Project”; one of the charming attractions in Chiang Mai. Visit temperate climate plants and flower garden at Ban Khun Klang, a highland trout fishery including plant breeding and multiplication labs, rice terraces, coffee plantation, strawberry orchard, etc. Moreover, there are natural observation and trekking trails such as Doi Hua Sua route and Ban Mae Klang Luang – Pha Dok Siew waterfall route. Freshly picked cold-climate fruits and vegetables are also available for sale.

What do you want your golf fans and other people to know about you and your playing career?

A: (sarcastically) Yeah, if I could remember my playing career. It was 30 years ago! That’s the problem. (laughs) No, honestly, it’s really nice because a lot of people come back and tell me that they’ve watched me play and watched me win, and although they’ve moved on with their lives, they still love golf. I’ve got a family now as well, and still I bump into a lot of people these days. Not only do they give me nice compliments but I also find it very touching how they made an effort to come watch me play golf 30 years ago.

I’ve also been on TV as an analyst for 12 years now, and they enjoy my work on television, as well. So, it’s very nice.

What inspired you the most to become a professional golfer?

A: Well I was a sportsman looking for a sport. As a swimmer, doing three miles in a pool is eventually no fun. Cycling, you know they say you have to ride till you throw up.

Great, that’s no fun. (laughs) And with team sports, you could play great and lose, or lousy and you’re not part of it. So, I was looking for an individual sport. Once, I tried a little bit of tennis and I was told I was too tall. But, as far as golf goes, I think it was the practice.

The fact you could go down there and be totally engrossed in what you were doing for the whole day.

I could tip a couple of balls out at 8 o’clock in the morning and come home at 8 o’clock at night. I did this 9 out of 10 days and I was totally happy with it.

As you’ve teed it up at several great golf courses, what were some of your favorites? And do you have your all-time favorite golf course at the moment?

A: Well, we are so lucky in golf.

We’ve got so many different stops everywhere. I’ve played great courses in America obviously, and Australia- the Sandbelt, Melbourne, and Kingston SE. All those courses are great because they’re all so different. Many clubs around the world have great golf courses as well. I guess my number one favorite would be a Lynx golf course, probably Saint Andrews, on a nice, sunny, breezy day and you can get the ball to bounce how you want it to bounce. That’s pretty fun.

How’s your lifestyle? Are there any leisure activities you like to do apart from playing golf?

A: I fish. Specifically I like to fly fish.

I still do it but I need to do it more.

I used to do a lot of trout fishing down in England. I’d go to build up my inner sanctum just to really disappear and be on my own. I would love to get out to Montana, or maybe New Zealand, to fish.

Where do you/ would you really like to spend your holiday and why?

A: Well, I enjoy spending my holidays here, and I’m also beginning to like Montana because I love the views, the scenery, and of course the fishing. That’s about it because that’s all I have time for.

您想让您的粉丝和其他人了解您什 么样的职业生涯？ （讽刺地）是啊！如果我还记得我 的我的职业生涯，那是30年前了！ 那是个问题！（笑）不，说实话， 这真的很好，因为有很多人回过头 来告诉我他们看过我打的比赛，还 看着我赢了比赛。虽然很多人都继 续过着自己的生活，但是他们任然 爱好高尔夫球。我现在已经成家 了。这些天我碰到很多的人，他们 不仅给我很好的赞誉，而且让我觉 得感人的是他们30年前是怎样付 出去看我比赛的。现在的我作为分 析师也有12年了，他们同时也喜欢 我在电视上的表现。所有现在这样 挺好的！ 是什么促使您成为一个职业高尔夫 球选手的？ 嗯，我之前是一名职业运动员。作 为一名游泳运动员，在泳池里面游 三英里后也会没有乐趣。骑自行车 吧，他们会让你骑到吐为止。这简 直就是太棒了！完全没有乐趣（ 笑）。参加团队运动吧，你可以打 的很好或者打的很差，赢了比赛 或者输了比赛，你也许不是其中之 一。所有我一直在寻找个人运动。 有一次我试着打网球，但是他们觉 得我长得太高了。只有高尔夫球， 我认为应该是玩的多吧。事实上， 我可以在那里全神贯注的玩上一整 天。我可以从早上8点开始一直打 到晚上8点回家。而且我当时10天 里有9天都是这样过的。

您参加过这么多的高尔夫球赛，哪 些是您最喜欢的？而且您有你一直 最喜爱的高尔夫球赛事吗？ 嗯。我们打高尔夫是多么的幸运 啊！我们有太多站的比赛了。很显 然我在美国打的赛事就很好，澳大 利亚墨尔本的沙带和金士顿的SE。 这些赛事和其他的赛事太不同了， 当然世界上其他的俱乐部的赛事也 很不错的。我想我最喜欢的应该 是圣安德鲁斯的山猫高尔夫球赛事 吧。在一个阳光明媚，微风徐来的 一天，你可以让球想怎么进就怎么 进。这真的是太棒了。 您平时的生活方式是什么样的？在 不打高尔夫球的时候您有什么休闲 活动吗？ 钓鱼吧。我特别喜欢钓鱼。我一直 在钓，应该要钓的更多吧。我之前 在英国钓过很多鳟鱼。我想钓鱼建 立起我自己的心灵圣地吧。我想到 蒙大拿，或者新西兰去钓鱼。 您最想到哪里去度过您的假期？ 为什么？ 嗯。我喜欢在这里度过我的假期， 我也逐渐开始喜欢蒙大拿，因为我 喜欢这里的风景，人情，当然还有 钓鱼啦，这是我想把时间都花在上 面的东西。

请您和我们说说一些关于您所获得 的奖项吧 好的。最好的奖项是来自太阳报。 我获得了当月最佳奖项。我坐在奖 杯上面，还穿着牛仔裤和我那瘦小 的胸部。（笑）但是说真的，赢得 比赛是事实，获得奖项也比较意 外。但是我觉得最佳的奖项和被封 为爵士。这都是一个巨大的荣誉。

Please tell us a bit about the awards that you’ve won.

A: Well the best one was from the Sun Newspaper. I won the Hunk of the Month. I was sitting with my top off, in my jeans and my skinny little chest. (laughs) In all seriousness though, winning tournaments is factual, and winning awards is more subjective.

So, I think the greatest award was being knighted. That was amazing and a huge honor.

MONRUDEE

GETTUPHAN

IAP, General Manager of Phuket International Airport

普吉国际机场总经理 The new look of Phuket International Airport has become the talk of the town after it launched its first test flight, in time before the grand opening in June 2016. Many people will enjoy the new look of its modern, beautiful design not to mention the panoramic view of the ocean. The vision of airport management is to provide activities and services that will impress all passengers and users of the airport. Daily operations will be guided by and under the reins of Khun Monrudee Gettuphan. 新装修的普吉国际机场在2016年6月运营之前前 的首次试飞已经成为街头巷尾谈论的焦点。很多 人很喜欢它现代美丽的设计和有着海景的观赏功 能候机厅。普吉国际机场的目标就是用服务来打 动每一位来这里的旅客。机场的日常运营将在 Monrudee Gettuphan女士指导下进行。 50 l 24 LIFE M a g a z i n e

Background Khun Monrudee was born in Bangkok and graduated from the Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University. She began her career in the aviation sector of a security department, where she soon moved up to the position of public relations manager.

She moved to administration management where she helped the Airport of Thailand become a company.

She eventually found herself in the Foreign Affairs department (Out Bound - In Bound) in 2015, a position she thought she would stay in until retirement. But as fate may have it, she was drawn far away from her home all the way to Phuket, a coastal city where new airport users awaited. As the new director of Phuket International Airport (in 2015) she not only had the challenge of adjusting to a new airport, but also being one of six female directors in the airports of Thailand. *Upon a new contract guarantee, she was promoted from director to general manager of the airport. 背景 Monrudee女士出生在曼谷，并从朱拉隆功大学 艺术系毕业。她的职业生涯从航空安全部门开 始，然后在那里晋升到公关经理职位。自从泰 国机场公司化后，她晋升到管理层。 直到2015年，她以为自己会留在现在的出入 境的管理职位一直到退休。但命运可能另有 安排，她被调到远离家乡很远的沿海城市普吉 岛，一个让游客期待的新机场。她不仅面对着 掌控新机场的挑战，同时她也是6位泰国机场女 主管之一。

The most impressive thing in life

Retirement plan

Something for our readers?

Getting my test license to become the general manager of a public airport. The airport planed to deliver a certificate on January 14, 2015.

When an airport has a certificate, the person who looks after the airport must have a license as well. Normally, it takes the average person several months for studying and multiple times for testing, however, for me, I had very little time and only one chance to pass the test before the airport’s flight testing on January 9. I had one opportunity and I was very proud that I was able to accomplish this.

I plan to visit Europe and have a limitless amount of time to spend there. I want to recharge myself after working so hard for almost my entire life. Because I am so driven and I like to work hard, I was given a nickname, Mondi 24/7, which means working 24 hours, 7 days a week. However, I have the attitude to look at work like food- after I finish eating, I will feel full, and when I’m full it means I have recharged my work life.

‘All problems can be solved’ is a philosophy of life that can always be used. I believe that when a problem is fixed, everything will get better.

At work, I want everyone to be happy so I do my best to acknowledge all problems that arise from any of my staff members. Everyone is able to contact me directly and I make my staff feel that I’m easily approachable. Then, when I know the problem, I find a way to fix it. As a result, all employees in the airport work happily and without worry. I always believe that every single problem can be solved. Sometimes it depends on the period of time or the way you fix it, but if you don’t give up, it will always work.

退休计划 生活中最令人印象深刻的事 在拿到我成为新机场总经理的测试成绩时。该 机场的许可证在2015年1月14日交付，同时在交 付许可证的机场的运营人都要同时具备相应的 资质。通常情况下，普通人需要几个月的时间 来学习和通过测试，但是对于我来说只有很短 的时间来学习，并且只有一次机会，在1月9日 通过测试。这次机会让我感到很骄傲，因为我 通过了测试。

我计划到欧洲旅行，并且有无尽的时间耗在那 里。我希望能给自己好好放松的机会，因为我 一生基本都把时间消耗 在了工作上。我很努力的工作，因此我得了一 个绰号叫Mondi 24/7，意味着我一周7天，每 天24个小时都在工作。同时我对工作的态度就 像食物一样，每次用餐完后都会觉得很饱，这 也意味着我在工作时间得到了“充电”。

和读者分享的故事？ “所有的问题都能得到解决”是我人生的格言。我 相信每一个问题在得到解决后都会变得更好。在工 作中我能尽自己最大的努力来答复所有工作人员里 出现的问题。每个员工都可以和我直接联系，这样 让我的员工觉得我很平易近人,同时这样也让我很 容易遇到问题并解决它们。这样的结果就是机场的 每一位员工都能快乐的工作，没有后顾之忧。我始 终相信每一个问题都有解决的方法，只是取决于时 间，方法和期限等，只要你没有放弃，这个道理是 永远行得通的。 24 LIFE M a g a z i n e l 51

hailand is a strategically geography for investment in several factors.

It is also a major source of raw materials and skilled labor force that contribute to development of the manufacturing industry.

Presently, Thailand is part of the ASEAN community, together with Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Brunei. Over 600 million people in the region, ASEAN is home to nearly 10% of the world’s population.

Recently, Thailand’s government has promoted its infrastructure investment policy to encourage further economic growth.

Particularly, electronic two-rail system will be constructed to reach several economically powerful cities, including Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chonburi, Prachuap Khiri Khan, Nakorn Ratchasrima, and Ubon Ratchathani.

Additionally, there will be other maga projects will be approved by the government in the near future, such as Special Border Economic Zone (SBEZ) contributing to a number of property development projects in major cities nearby. As Thailand is currently open to foreign investment, foreigners can safely acquire the right to use the land, house, commercial building and register the right for a maximum lease term of 30-year lease. It is also expected that the lease periods will be extended soon after amendments to the national law.
