On Campus: Hope is only one call away

A couple of months back, one of my Thai students confided in me about his struggle with bouts of depression. It was quite obvious ‒ at least to me ‒ that he was in a state of distress and agony; he didn’t know who to turn to or how to get help. So I did what I can to help him find the professional care and proper treatment that he desperately needed, as I am aware that depression can increase suicide risk.

The annual Kata Rocks Superyacht Rendezvous held last December was a somewhat different version of the huge, international, luxury event which we’ve come to expect. The fact that it happened at all is a ringing endorsement to the optimism and brio of the man behind the event itself and the luxurious Kata Rocks Resort… Richard Pope.

PHUKET: A long-term Phuket expat has launched a simple initiative that may lay the groundwork for an expat association which can serve as an advisory or at least consultative body for local government officials looking to avoid blowback on implementing poor policies ‒ and even help officials effect positive change for the island.

It’s 2017 and tourism is near an all-time high in Phuket. The paint on a B5 billion airport expansion is barely dry, and the terminals are teeming with international passengers. Local businesses are booming, and Phuket’s west coast beaches are packed with visitors.

A topic that comes up frequently is when and how often I should feed my dog. Conventional wisdom suggests a standard breakfast and dinner routine unless you have a young puppy, which we’d often spread into three to five smaller meals depending on the size and age of the pup.

Sawasdee Krab… Since COVID-19 raised its ugly head in January of 2020 over 164 million cases have been recorded globally and more than 3.41 million lives have been lost. The World Health Organization estimates that the percentage of people who have contracted COVID-19 around the world is around 10%, though that number is a conservative figure as many countries like to save face and do not disclose the actual true figures.

Much beloved by me and many other local cyclists is our bicycle’s ability to take us to relatively quiet, undiscovered corners of the Andaman which have remained fairly unblemished by the ravages of mass tourism and commercialisation. One such beloved corner of ‘forgotten Phuket’ is Ao Sane Cove, with its three little beaches overlooking the much larger and more commercial Nai Harn Beach in the island’s southwest corner.
