HOT AROUND HUA HIN INTERCONTINENTAL® HUA HIN RESORT WELCOMES INTERNATIONAL MEDIA FAM TRIP During 9 – 11 November 2015, InterContinental® Hua Hin Resort had the opportunity to give a warm welcome to journalists and reporters from the United States, China and the United Kingdom. The group visited the hotel to promote InterContinental® Hua Hin Resort’s new enhancements, BluPort Wing, Club Lounge and Azure Bar. During their visit, they experienced the many interesting sights of Hua Hin. The trips were led by Mr. Jean-Marc Mocellin, General Manager (fourth from right), and Khun Wichai Charoenpanvorakul, Director of Marketing and Sales (first from right). On the last night of their stay, while having dinner at La Residence Hua Hin, they thoroughly enjoyed a performance of traditional Thai dancing and cuisine. AID FOR JUNGLE AID – FUNDRAISER AT THE HILTON Almost 60 Hua Hin, friggatriskaidekaphobians (a morbid, irrational fear of Friday the 13th), gathered for a ‘Fright Night’ at the Hilton Hua Hin Resort & Spa. The ‘Dress-toScare-or-Dress-to-Impress’, event raised 80,000 Baht for Jungle Aid. The Hiltonhosted dinner propagated the Halloween theme, through special décor, and staff wearing uniform Skeleton costumes. Jungle Aid [www.JungleAid.org] is a non-profit, charity most renowned for its monthly medical clinics to displaced people in and around Thailand. These regular outreaches, some assisted by Rotary, are part of Jungle Aid’s broader purpose also featuring preventative medicine, self-sustainability and education. Ghosties and Ghouls participated enthusiastically, in the earthly pleasures of fine-wine and dining. The comprehensive buffet was every bit the haute cuisine and extensive choice we have come to associate with the Hilton. Attendees exhibited growing confidence the world was not ending, in scooped up hundreds of raffle-tickets for a lavish array of services, treats and gift-baskets, generously donated by Hua Hin’s leading businesses. The fund-raiser was led by Gary Hills, performing as both Deejay and Master of Ceremonies. There is no doubt Jungle-Aids good works find great support among Hua Hin’s denizens.
