From the Editor Thanks to a reader’s tip-off, last month I was able to meet yet another visiting celebrity to Hua Hin, French artist Claude Valery. With the cooperation of Khun Nang from Baan Sillipin, a meeting was arranged between Claude and Malaysian artist Jansen Chow at the opening of his solo exhibition at the Hua Hin Artist’s Village. Our cover page photo shows that great meeting of these artistic minds.

Another VIP guest at the opening was Mrs. Orasa Awutkhom the local Director of the Tourism Authority of Thailand. We agreed that the burgeoning art scene is becoming another important focus for visitors to our growing region. However the less glamorous side of growth is the need for infrastructure to keep pace. The good news is that the Municipality has been keeping an ‘eye on the ball’ and taking steps to manage that need. Water supplies, traffic management and even the least glamorous of all; garbage disposal are all in the sights of the Mayor to ensure Hua Hin continues to provide these practical necessities. We have continued to follow the Pattaya – Hua Hin ferry story, although this remains a source of some frustration. The ferry service seems reluctant to provide essential information to the public, especially online. Hua Hin Today endeavours to keep locals and visitors informed, however we rely on others to communicate, including the ferry operators. If there is an event, news item or just someone with a story to tell, please follow the lead of our reader Alun and send me an email.
