This year the organizer of Royal Flora has develop the direction, and easy way to reach the event area by having a shuttle bus to service (you can search for more detail of the price, and direction at www.royalflora2011.com ). Also with more rendezvous and more roads to get into the event to prevent the traffic jam like it used to. For the ticket you can buy at the thaiticketmajor.com or buy through Krungthai bank, including buy the ticket in front of the event is available too. “Greentitude� is the theme for this year flora event. There are 5 cute mascots which represent wind, earth, water, fire, and the same mascot of last flora event the Koon flower that leads other 4 mascots to walk among the people in the event that you can enjoy taking a photo with them.

After walk through the entrance door; the first thing you have to do is take a photo with 5 mascots (which depends on which mascots you will get to take a photo with, because the mascots will randomly come in each day) then you can buy the ticket to 50 seats railway bus; 30 baths for adult, and 20 baths for children. One ticket for railway bus can use all day. In the event is very gigantic place for entrepreneurs to present what they have such as Thai-Denmark farm shows how to milk a cow, herd a sheep,

and how to weave the fleece. CP is also one of the companies that bring so many products to present with the mascot’s dance show to entertain people. What the children love most is Department of groundwater Resources that comes with small underground pipe to show how the underground water works.

Another interesting are is “Youth loves earth” which is near insect museum. It will show the importunateness of why we should give extra care for environment. Inside they will show many exciting facts, and there are also activities to do.

“Dasada” is another beautiful area that gathers the entire grade A export flowers from Prajeanburi to show.

enjoy the “imagination of light garden” that has many kinds of flowers decorating with lights or take a tour to international garden that so many countries came to arrange the garden such as South Korea rock garden, Bodhi tree from India, and from Bhutan that brought Phra Sri Sakyamuni to uplift the feeling of the garden.

Another Hi-light show at Rajapreuk Lake is 5D shows called “the power of Green” that used techniques of lights, sounds, colors, acting including 3D show of fountains, and firework, and of you are looking for a different kind of show you can go to Expo Center 1 building where they have Panoramic Magic Virtual show about the work of Thailand’ king. At the Hor Khum Luang is the exhibition of The king with the activities he’s done with the water.

The place that you shouldn’t miss is Giant Ferris wheel that has 44 meters high. The ticket for adult is 120 baths, and for child that the height is below 150 centimeters is70 baths. You will see the most beautiful view from up there. After get down from Ferris wheel you can

The Royal flora is a enormous event that even the writer couldn’t go to the whole place in one day. I haven’t got a chance to see the Tulips, and The great Lotus including the exhibition of agriculture, but I will find a time to make sure that I don’t miss all of that.

In my opinion Chiang Mai people loves to go to Royal Flora event, and for me I have to say that Royal flora is the event that have its own charm and this time it has better organizing, and more beautiful suche as the park zone are more available, and the ticket to the event is more arrange. All the events are deserve to give respect to the King and Queen , and the Prince of Thailand.

Please come and visit Thai Royal Flora sometime as Chiang Mai people will glad to you to participate the event.

Thailand’s tourist direction in 2012

In president of TheAssociation of Domestic Travel’s opinion

Ms. Maiyarat Pheerayakoses President of “The Association of Domestic”

After the mega flood in Thailand is over; Thais are question about the damages, and the what will happen next in this coming 2012, so in this issue we have Ms. Maiyarat Pheerayakoses, President of “The Association of Domestic” to answer these questions.

The Association of Domestic Travel or ADT happens from 30 entrepreneurs who want to create an association that free from politic, and government to encourage the ideas, and to support other entrepreneurs, so it began the ADT. Ms. Maiyarat is one of the 30 founders which she is also one of the team to organized the election of president of the association that she said it is depend on who will the member will choose. It’s not up to her.

Firstly, the ADT only have 30 members, but the association continually growing until last 8 years there are more than 200 members, and in this present day there are 400 entrepreneurs that are members of the ADT. Ms. Maiyarat said that in this past 4 years they have to work really hard since there are a lot of troubles in Thailand’s political, and the ADT has been doing there best to help their members to go through all the obstacles they might have get from past years political problem that made democracy in Thailand became just another stained idea until this year with the mega flood is one of the obstacle that most entrepreneurs have faced.

So the ADT will be the place where entrepreneurs can discuss about their problems and a place where they can find help that they need. ADT will also be the representative for them in case they need cooperate from government in the future.

Talking about Tourism business in Thailand; we have to go back to last 20 years when the marketing competition is very high, and nowadays is also in very high rated too, but last 20 years the competition in the market could hurt the other competitors, but once the association is come to be the entrepreneurs’ media then the entrepreneurs don’t turn back on each other and helping each other instead.

ADT gather all the entrepreneurs and help them by being the media, and the place for sharing ideas, and meet new experiences in business, so in Most entrepreneurs are Tourist stead of competing to each other; Company, and others are resort, Fun now they compete to themselves and Park, OTOP shop, and other Medias make better quality of product, and ADT is only support them when they too. needed.

Another roll of ADT is resist the government company which only in the case that the company try to compete with the private company. The law of Thailand has show very clear that it is against the law of the government will open a company to compete with private company. We have just see the better result in these last 3 years.

The mega flood that happened has cause grand damage to tourism business in Thailand both entrepreneurs and tourists are effect by the flood. This coming new year festival you can see that tour group of tourism has decrease for 75 percent because of the flood, so the tourists are not feeling comfortable enough to come to Thailand, so the entrepreneurs are not expect many incomes like other year.

Right now the temperature in Thailand is getting colder. Many areas are welcoming winter, so Thai tourists are feeling ready to go out and visit some interesting places like mountains. Most Thai tourists are travel by themselves which are the first group that decided to go out for travel in famous vacation spots like Northern of Thailand, but for Southern of Thailand

there are less tourists, but if you consider the whole thing you will see that Thai tourists are decrease and have only 30 percent left since they have to fix the damage that might happen to their houses after the flood.

Chainart, Singburi, Lopburi, Ayuthaya tour that they are cooperate with TAT which will start selling in the beginning of 2012.

The tourist company has effect the most from the flood because more than 70 percent of customer that are companies which want to arrange a trip for their employees are cancel.

After the flood the budgets that some companies are prepare for entertain their employees has to be cut off, and won’t be back to normal for at least in the next 3 months.

With this situation; ADT had send the letter to deputy prime minister; Mr. Chumpol Silapaarcha to help spreading the budgets to entertain the government’s employees, or arrange a seminar by arrange tour and buying the tour from the tourist company that has legal license to create However entrepreneurs of Thai the tour group in February-Septemtourism are thinking that the tourism ber. With this way they believe to help in Thailand will only recover for 50 lots of entrepreneurs. percent, but after January 2012 the tourism in Thailand will be the same Ms. Maiyarat also believes that tourbecause of the measure that govern- ism in Thailand will be better in Marchment use for healing the damage will June which is the time of school holistarting to see the result. They also day, and another indicator for tourism have confident that in is Thailand tourism Fair that will arrange in this the next school summer holiday the tourism in Thailand will be per- coming February. fectly 100 percent recover. Also the ADT has create a new package for

For the measure for recover tourism in Thailand after the flood; ADT had discussed with Mr. Chumpol Silapaarcha minister of Tourism and Sports of Thailand ministry to come up with the plan to help the entrepreneurs by finding the capital money, and the tax that might have decrease the outcomes. The ministry of Tourism and Sport had reported that from the flood in October to November cause the damage to 175 vacation spots, and cost 560 million bath damage, so the tourists in Thailand this year have only 18.5 persons, but what they expect is 18.9 million persons.

Thailand tourism has tendency and plan to develop the tourism in 2012 by encourage the tourists. The best way is to separate into 2 organizations; first organization is government. The ministry of Tourism and Sport and TAT has already encourage the tourists in their own way, but for ADT has also offer another way to encourage tourists by having clip that show in television for the tourists to see that there are so many places in Thailand to visit; not just those 30 provinces that has been flood, because in Thailand there is 76 provinces, so if they have a video of those beautiful places that can show on television; that would help encouraging tourists to visit those places. ADT also said that if Thais are taking a tour in Thailand more that would mean Thais never left no one behind.

2012

By : Mr. Rup Krishen Baqaya

A general Astrological analysis of for the year 2012.:- The numbers 2012 when added up,total to 5.In numerology the number 5 stands for Mercury. And Mercury stands for Communication. Thus during the year 2012,the focus of the world will be on communications, contacts, business dealings, conveyances including all kinds of transport such as trains and planes, travels, exploration of space etc. The above effects will be felt in greater measure in the second half of the year when Jupiter transits to the sign Gemini. At the beginning of the year Jupiter is in the sign Taurus and remains so till 12th June 2012 after which date it transits to the next sign Gemini. The net effect of Jupiter’s transit during the year on the world also indicates focus of the world on arts such as music, dance ,painters, poets beauty contests etc. In October 2012,Saturn transits from the comparatively peaceful Libra to the Martian Scorpio. So the end of the year may see the world kind of set on fire, some deceit and aggression in the world, more terrorist attacks etc.

Finances will also be hit at this time, in the sense that lots of ill gotten wealth of people hitherto hidden will be unearthed. In brief a great year for the corporate and show business people.

To decided what gift to buy can be one of the art, because the gift itself will show the personality of both the giver and the receiver. Some people might take a long time to decided what to buy, so we have an expert who is the president of Thailand’s souvenirs and gifts association to gives us some tricks to buy gift this year.

1

First, you have to make a list for the people who you want to buy gifts for. For some people might have so many love ones that they want to send the card or gift in this New Year, so you should make the list, and priority who should receive the cards or gifts first.

Second, check you budgets. If you don’t have many budgets you shouldn’t pick something too expensive.

3

2

Third, research for the place where you can buy gifts in good price, and of course good quality. The mall doesn’t always be a good place to buy, so make sure you have choices.

Forth, make sure you know the exact price for those gifts, and of you want to buy many then maybe buy a gifts from the producer are cheaper than buy it separately from the mall.

5

Fifth, check on your list and pair the person with the gift, so you won’t get confuse which gift to give to which person.

Sixth, most malls will have sale promotion during festival time, so to help you to save money you can do a little research for which mall has the best price for you.

7

6

Seventh, for some gifts are easier to buy in the mall, because usually they will have a service to wrap a gift for free.

Eighth, don’t buy a gift just because you think it’s beautiful. That will waste your money, so make sure you think it through before buying the gift.

Ninth, don’t forget to negotiate the price.

Don’t accept the first price too easy. Sometime you will get much cheaper price than you can expect.

Tenth, to buy your gifts from producer or from the market might be cheaper, but make sure to get the guarantee paper from them too, so if you find that the gift is broken you can switch or return at the store.

The last thing is for the person who have really low budget then you can make a card by yourself, or send an e-card is the best way. Sometimes handmade gifts are more valuable than buying gift.
