Dear Reader Welcome to Issue 9, Volume 5 of HOT Magazine. This month we are pleased to take you on a journey to Mandalay, Myanmar’s last Royal Capital. Mandalay is the country’s second largest city and its cultural center. An easy and inexpensive flight from BKK, Mandalay is steeped in rich cultural heritage and shouldn’t be missed, page 40. Don’t feel like hopping on an airplane? No problem as Michael Cullen gives us great tips for fascinating day trips in Hua Hin. Hua Hin is known for its beaches and golf courses but there is so much more to see via short car trips. Caves, wines and wild elephants are all explored on page 32. This issue we also introduce you to Cindy Bishop. Cindy is a Thai-American beauty queen, business woman, model, host, actress and mom. At the age of 18 Cindy represented Thailand in the Miss World pageant. Cindy has been acting in films and on TV since 1997 and can currently be seen hosting “Asia’s Next Top Model” TV show. Turn to page 56 to find out more about Cindy and the interesting life she’s led. Finally, Russ Downing with HOT Hua Hin Property introduces you to Michael Tan. Michael and his Sanctuary Lakes Global Group have been developing housing communities in Malaysia, China, the U.S. and Australia where his company built over 3,000 homes at their Sanctuary Lakes Development in Melbourne. Michael’s first development in Thailand is happening in Hua Hin and is appropriately called Sanctuary Lakes Hua Hin. His interview and the story of his new development is on page 74. Those are just a few of your stories you’ll find in this month’s issue of HOT Magazine. As always, thank you for picking us up and we hope you enjoy the read. Next up, it’s anchors away as we introduce you to our pick for the top places in Thailand to float your boat. With crystal clear waters, exotic islands and endless sandy beaches, a boat is one of the best ways to explore this amazingly beautiful country. If you don’t own a boat, not a problem as charter companies abound. Put on your deck shoes and turn to page 64.
