Dear Reader Welcome to issue 11/12 Volume 5 of HOT Magazine. When one thinks of Thailand, thoughts of beautiful tropical islands or the very cosmopolitan metropolis of Bangkok probably come to mind. At the bottom of the list, if it even made the list, would be coats, jumpers and wool hats. Our “Let’s Go” feature this month takes us to six places in the Kingdom where you might want to wear all three. Come join us on page 36 to see where the “cool” people in Thailand go. Longtime Hua Hin resident Constance “Connie” Heinecke sadly passed away last month. By anyone’s measure she led an amazing adventure filled life. During her lifetime she lived across the street from John F. Kennedy, was a tour guide to Marilyn Monroe in Japan, entertained world famous boxer Jack Dempsey in her and her husband’s Hong Kong home and in Malta was given just 24 hours to leave the country because the leftist government believed she and her husband to be CIA spies. In 2014 HOT Magazine profiled Connie who at that time was 95 years old. In honor of Connie we are pleased to run her article once again, that’s on page 42. Bill attended Bangkok’s International School. After graduation he borrowed $1,200 USD’s to start a commercial office cleaning service. Fast forward 50 years and Bill’s Minor International Corporation is a global powerhouse with a $5.3 billion USD Market Cap employing over 64,000 people. Turn to page 64 and prepare to be impressed. The sixth annual Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat show, one of Thailand’s premier marine events, recently took place for the sixth year in a row. Bigger than ever, this 4 day event drew over 4,500 spectators to see everything from day boats to super yachts. Search out your deck shoes and turn to page 74. Those are just a few of the stories you’ll find inside this month. It’s time to wind down 2017 and bring in the new year. We hope 2017 has treated you well and we wish you the happiest and healthiest year yet in 2018. As always, thank you for picking us up and we hope you enjoy the read. Next up we introduce you to another Heinecke who’s led an amazing life. HOT Magazine is thrilled to bring you our interview with business legend Bill Heinecke.
