ContentsEditor’s NoteThe festive season is now upon us and what better way is there to spend it than on this paradise island.
Although not widely celebrated by the Thai community, there is no shortage of options for those that wishing to bring in Christmas and New Year in true style. Most resorts & restaurants on the island will be putting on special menus and activities for those wishing to do things as they would back home, with one exception, and this is one which I can personally guarantee, there will not be one single flake of snow. If there is, I will run through Patong wearing just a Christmas stocking on my head.
Please enjoy your time here this festive season and please remember top stay safe.

5Travel & Eateries in Phuket, January 2014in Phuket, January 2014Travel & Eateries4
Given Phuket is 90 percent Buddhist, there are of course many shrines and
temples. Talking about a temple, or “Wat” in Thai, is something nearly every
visitor to Thailand does. Some are very small and located in tiny sois (lanes),
while some are large complexes filled with halls, schools and revered statues.
It can be difficult to choose one temple over another to visit because every
temple is unique in its own way.
However, if you are limited for time you may have make visiting the most the
famed temples a priority. Here are some of our picks:
Wat Chaitaratam or commonly called Wat Chalong is listed in every Phuket
guidebook as a must see in terms of history and legend. Many stories have been
told about the miracles performed there and how the wat played a pivotal and
healing role in the fighting between Chinese secret societies (Angyee) in 1876.
Time after time the locals fought back against the attackers, and others,
encouraged by their success, joined them. They pleaded with the Abbot, Luang
ExperiencingPhuket’s temples
Poh Cham for a religious talisman to bring them good luck and he gave them
pieces of sanctified white cloth which they used as headbands. The climax
came when the Chinese laborers, drugged and stupefied by their opium, were
attacked and destroyed by the locals.
The most talked about subject of many tales is Luang Poh Cham’s walking
stick. Apparently it had many healing qualities, and it is in the possession of
the current Abbot. The most amusing story about the stick was when a local
girl, desperate to get healed, that she solemnly vowed to gild his privates if he
would rid her of her stomach pains. He healed her without knowing anything
about the details of her vow; in addition, females must never touch Buddhist
monks, whilst breaking a vow can bring evil. So it is said that when she came to
see the abbot, his adroitness saved the day when out came the walking stick,
Luang Poh Cham sat on it in such a way that it protruded from his robes, so the
girl gilded it with gold leaves.
In term of architecture at Wat Chalong, there is a 60ft tall ‘Chedi’ sheltering a
splinter of bone from Buddha. Walls and ceilings are decorated with beautiful
paintings illustrating the life of Buddha, and you are free to climb up all the way
to the top floor terrace. From here you will get a stunning bird’s eye view of the
whole temple grounds as well as the Big Buddha on Narkkerd Hill.
When entering the central building, make merit by giving lotus flowers and gold
leaves, or light firecrackers in the brick oven-like construction. It is supposed to
show your gratitude when one of your wishes has been granted.
Wat Chalong is also the location for large, annual fun fair, with lots of food
stalls, activities, Thai games and stage performances. It’s always fun, noisy,
entertaining and will certainly give you an interesting view of how temples take
part in Thai life.
Wat Phra Thong in Thalang is one of the eldest temples on the island. It is much
smaller in scale compared to Wat Chalong, but is a very pleasant place to visit. A
half-buried golden Buddha image is the main attraction. It was told that a boy
who tied his buffalo to an object that looked like a post fell ill and died along
with the buffalo. His father went to check the post and it turned out to be part
of a buried Buddha image.
Wat Phranang Sang is very easy to be find as it is located just before Thaalng
intersection on your left hand side if driving towards the airport. It is said to be
approximately 500 years old, and is the oldest temple on the island. A story is
attached to this temple that claims that the temple was built in honour of an
innocent princess executed for a crime she did not commit. At her execution,
it’s claimed that she bled white blood, thus showing her purity. The temple
compound was also used as a Burmese military camp in 1785. The ubosot is
where the three oldest and biggest tin Buddha images are enshrined.

7Travel & Eateries in Phuket, January 2014in Phuket, January 2014Travel & Eateries6
Three years ago my pals and I joined as vendors when the “Indy Market” first
opened. We liked the idea of a place offering handmade crafts like you find
here. Its Thai name is “Lad Ploy Kong” which means to get rid of thing, and also
can be interpreted as showing off in a nice way.
Unfortunately due to having full time jobs which stole our time we weren’t able
to join that often. It cannot be compared to the weekend market on Naka Road
nor the walking street of Chiang Mai, but we still like to visit from time to time
to recap our teen spirits!
The Indy Market occupies a mainly open-air area on the Limelight Avenue near
Sofa Pub. Three years since it was formed many things have changed and it is
now a popular outlet for youngster to meet up. We enjoyed people watching as
a hobby and there is no better place for that than a market. The Indy Market is
actually quite small but it is full of characters. It opens on Thursdays and Fridays
from 4pm until around 10.30pm and you will see many youngsters dressing up
to impress each other, whilst some are still in uniform. But they all get together,
have fun playing guitars, enjoying themselves and sharing some laughs.
The avenue offers a park like ambience with plenty of stairs and steps to sit,
plus it offers a wide range of items including food, clothes, crafts and live music.
Young vendors display handmade items like bags, souvenirs, key rings, trendy
jeans and T-shirts. Even you are not intending on buying anything it is fun to
just walk, have a chat with the sellers and appreciate their passion for wanting
to make a few Baht.
Further inside is a food zone where freshly made dishes are available. I like the
chicken and beef BBQ sticks as they are easy to carry around while looking
Phuket Indy Market recapping teen spirits
for something else to try. On my last visit I found a new favorite, deep
fried mushroom, flowers and veggies topped with a sour and spicy sauce.
Delicious!
Don’t worry if you come with kids, as the place is family oriented surrounded
with chic coffee shops, air conditioned restaurants and ice cream shops. In
term of sweets vendors the list is long enough for you to come four week in
a row. Thai style crepes are only 20 Baht with a variety of fillings on offer, and
usually you choose fillings to make your favoured combination.
Each week, as the night goes on, live bands made up of school kids are
encouraged to express themselves on stage; they often also feature B-boy
dancing. Each of us used to buy a cocktail, sit on a step listening to the music
from an enthusiastic boy band. I would like to thank the market for this as
most Thais are shy and we need this kind of public support to help us gain
confidence and to add tour experiences.

11Travel & Eateries in Phuket, January 2014in Phuket, January 2014Travel & Eateries10
Noodles where initially brought to Thailand by Chinese immigrants and played an important
role during Thailand’s harsh economic period World War II, when the unemployment rate
was drastically high. Rice noodles are made from broken rice, and are an economical product
especially during times such as when a war is going on. Noodles were promoted as time
saving meals, perfect for lunch, and individuals during this time of crisis received printed fliers
on how to prepare Thai rice noodles, the effects of which have lasted until today.
However, unlike any other noodles, Kanom Jeen, believed to have been introduced to Thais
by Mons, an ethnic group from Myanmar, who have nothing to do with Chinese styles of
noodles. Kanom Jeen is widely served throughout Thailand, and is a favorite breakfast, lunch
and dinner among Phuketians. Somehow, it rarely makes an appearance at night markets in
other provinces, but here they are a must.
These soft, thin noodles are made from fermented rice topped with your choice of spicy curry,
and eaten with any the preferred combination of additional ingredients such as blanched
water spinach, pickled vegetables, bean sprouts, long beans, sliced cucumber lightly pickled
in sugar ad vinegar, banana blossom, cabbage, Thai basil leaves, pineapple (only served in
Phuket Kanom Jeen shops) and more. These accompaniments make it the ultimate have-it-
your way noodles.
You can’t walk down Phuket streets without passing an open-air Kanom Jeen shop. The
things to look out for are stainless steel pots of curry toppers, and dining tables with jars
of roasted dried chilies (both ground and whole) and bottles of fish sauce, and the bowls of
accompaniments, and however much of those you eat, the price will remain the same. You
should feel free to load the veggies to your heart desire, and there’s absolutely no shame in
adding seconds, thirds, or even fourths as one works one’s way through a plate of noodles
and curry.
One of the eldest Kanom Jeen shop in Phuket, and the most popular, is Pa Mai
Kanom Jeen on Satun Road in Phuket Town. It opens as early as 5.30am and
stays open until late morning. It is partially self-service. The way it works is that
a serving of Kanom Jeen noodles are already set in dishes, grab one and take
any kind of curry you like. There is no restriction on the number of curries you
use in a dish; basically you can have as many as you wish, but it may change
the cost.
The most fundamental one is Nam Ya, normally in the biggest pot. It is a watery
curry made of ground fish in coconut milk. Many like to add another kind of
curry to Nam Ya such as Gaeng Tai Plaa (southern style fish innard curry). Some
might find the flavor of the fish innard a bit strong, but surprisingly it blends
perfectly with Nam Ya curry. Other common curries offered are green curry,
beef curry, Nam Ya Pa (‘jungle, thin curry made with fish, coconut-milk free and
fiery hot) and shrimp chili paste, something which is rarely found elsewhere.
At most Kanom Jeen shops you can add delectable bonuses to the meal such
as crispy fried chicken, Tod Man Plaa (flat fried fish cakes), and Hor Mok which is
a delicious spicy fish mousse. These items are limited and you may miss them if
you arrive at the shop to late.
Mae Ting Kanom Jeen shop is located just down the road from Pa Mai Kanom
Jeen and offers the same items, but parking is a bit easier.
Another popular Kanom Jeen shop is Jee Li Bang Niew, and further there is
one in Saphan which opens quite late, around 11am, and opens until late
afternoon. The selection of curries is less than the two shops above, but is a
good alternative to those who find it hard to get up so early.
Kanom JeenSpicy, tasty and assembled how you want it!

What is a mortgage contract? According to the Thai Civil and Commercial
Code (CCC), a Mortgage is a contract whereby a person (called the Mortgagor)
assigns his immovable property to another person, (called the Mortgagee),
as security for the performance of an obligation (usually a loan of money),
without delivering the property to the Mortgagee. It is not only immovable
property that can be assigned as a security to ensure that the mortgagee
will pay the obligation back – some kinds of movable property can also be
assigned. Movable property can also be mortgaged provided it is registered
according to law, such as floating houses or ships of five tons or more. If the
property which is assigned in the mortgage contract is not an immovable
property or not a movable property which is allowed to be mortgaged as
per Section 703 of the CCC, then that mortgage contract is prohibited by
law and will be void. Please realize that a mortgage contract must specify
the property to be mortgaged and must contain, in Thai currency, either a
specific sum or a minimum amount for which the mortgaged property is
assigned as a security. It is also important to remember that no property can
be mortgaged except by the owner of that property, however a person may
mortgage his own property as security for the performance of an obligation
by another person if he/she chooses.
The mortgage contract can be used as a tool to ensure that the mortgagee
will receive money if the borrower or the mortgagor fails to pay back the
money that was borrowed within the specified time frame. Where the debtor
fails to perform his/her obligation, the mortgagee has the right to file a
complaint to the court asking it to seize and sell the immovable property that
was assigned in the mortgage contract and deliver the proceeds received
from selling the immovable property to the mortgagee. However, before the
mortgagee files a complaint at court, he must first notify the debtor and/
or the mortgagor in writing to perform his obligation within a reasonable
time period (usually 7 days) to be fixed in the notice. If the debtor fails to
comply with the notice within the specified time frame, the mortgagor can
then exercise his rights in a court of law. If the mortgagor fails to first send a
notice as mentioned, he loses his right to file the complaint until such time
the notice is sent.
One last important item to note is when will the mortgage contract be
extinguished? The answer is provided in Section 744 (CCC) which states that
the mortgage contract will be extinguished when either the mortgagor has
been discharged (by paying off the mortgage) or by the auction sale of the
mortgaged property by order of the court as a result of enforcement or by
removal of the mortgage.

No one can dispute that hot weather and ice cream pretty much go hand in hand.
And for this reason, in 1989, Italian born Stefano de Carlo set out with the idea
of bring Phuket not only its first ice cream parlor, but also its first homemade ice
cream. This idea led to the birth of Phuket’s first ice-cream parlor that produces
freshly made premium ice cream, proudly featuring both local and imported
flavors. Paciugo’s commitment to making the best ice cream means that each
batch is made with care, using only premium quality ingredients. No artificial
colors, flavorings or preservatives are used in the ice cream.
Every morning, Paciugo produces its own freshly made ice cream on its premises.
Using the freshest ingredients available, each batch of ice cream is skillfully
prepared using time honored methods. Paciugo’s local flavors have won the hearts
of ice cream lovers here – some of which include the famous Mango, Coconut and
Coffee flavors. That’s why Paciugo’s premium ice cream has garnered fans across
all generations.
When it comes to what’s on offer at Paciugo, don’t be expecting any fancy
concoctions like a certain big brand ice cream parlor, which shall remain nameless,
they simply serve ice cream cones or tubs. And to be truthful the addition of
whipped cream, sauces or any other ingredient will simply ruin the genuine taste
that Paciugo’s ice cream has.
In addition, Paciugo’s doesn’t just give you chocolate and vanilla ice cream like so
many other ice cream shops around. They have the ability to make over 17 flavours
of soft serve ice cream that will truly knock your socks off!
Paciugi is open each and every day from 10am through until 1.30am. They also serve
a full range of hot and cold beverages and an assortment of pastries and cakes.
