A Meal With... the Inspiration Tina Hall
A Meal With... the Inspiration Tina Hall
Sunday 23 October 2022 11:00 AM
‘Inspiration’ is a quality many in the Andaman region are seeking in these challenging times. Having recently returned from three months in the UK, my first impression of Phuket was a feeling of rather gloomy resignation to the current difficulties. While the pandemic seemed to be under control and had been officially ‘re-branded’ as a ‘communicable disease’, the touristic life-blood of the island is still very much a hoped-for dream.

Whether to give expensive cars or mansions to a Thai ‘friend’ is a dilemma typically brought up over beers and in online forums. Regardless of whether the giver is a blue-collar worker or a millionaire, gifting can sometimes lead to interesting stories where they give away more than they imagined.
Blazing Saddles: Cycling with Steve
Blazing Saddles: Cycling with Steve
Sunday 18 September 2022 02:00 PM
It was the mid-1990s and I was working as a senior vice president for one of the world’s largest communications groups based in Bangkok. I seemed to be forever jet-lagged from flying around Asia-Pacific to various meetings. I had high blood pressure, took sleeping pills to cope with work stress and jet-lag and had intractable sinusitis from the acrid air pollution of the city.

Memories of a True Rock ’n’ Roll Dad
Memories of a True Rock ’n’ Roll Dad

My dear friend of many years, Sam Wilkinson sadly passed away some weeks ago back in his home-town of Liverpool, in England. Sam was a wonderful character, known and loved by many in Phuket and around Thailand. He was a sort of romantic troubadour and wandering artist of abundant talents… in music, words, wit and just the noble art of enjoying life to the full! Sam was always kind and loving, sometimes almost unworldly and seeming to belong in a kinder, gentler era than the one we now inhabit.

Thank you, Donna Toon!
Thank you, Donna Toon!
Sunday 19 June 2022 11:00 AM
As you may have heard, after more than 12 years in our community, Donna is packing up her Toons and heading back to the motherland. For a woman who has given her entire heart to Phuket for over a decade, it seems an impossible task to articulate how much she means to us… and frankly, it is. I’m not even sure her husband Scot himself can keep track of all her charities, events, committees, sports or Prime Minister’s besties.
