Dear Reader, Welcome to Issue 5 Volume 3. This month’s issue has a “sports” theme and we start out by taking you to the Hua Hin Regatta which was held towards the end of April. This was the 15th year of this annual event and close to 200 sailors and boats lined the shores to compete. Tack your way over to page 16 for the details. Next up we take you the beach in front of the InterContinental Hua Hin Resort and Spa for the sixth annual Asian Beach Polo Championship. Asia’s only polo tournament played on a beach, the event was looking iffy as a huge wind and rain storm plowed through the polo grounds just prior to its start. The weather cleared however and with it brought cool comfortable temperatures for those in attendance to enjoy this magnificent sport. On Page 18 you’ll find both our daytime and nighttime coverage of this very fun yearly event. On page 24 we’re back to sailing again, this time we take you to our neighbor across the gulf, Pattaya, for the 11th annual Top of The Gulf Regatta which has become the largest multi-class sailing competition in Asia. Our “Let’s Go” feature this month takes us to the paradisiacal islands of Coral and Raja. Located near Phuket these islands offer the true tropical island adventure with white sand beaches, crystal clear water, stunning colorful corral and thousands of vibrant tropical fish, page 54. Bangkok loves its celebrations and we take you to a big one as the city celebrates the 233rd year of Rayanakosin, the anniversary of BKK, that’s on page 62. With that we thank you for picking us up and we hope you enjoy the read.
