It’s a news story that few can forget. Phuket is no stranger to a road accident but this one was different. It felt uniquely tragic and desperately unfair. Worst of all, it felt so avoidable. On the evening of December 11, 2014, Nitikarn Rotrattanachai – formerly known as Phakkamon Duangchaytemcharat – crashed her pickup into a sinkhole while driving home with her 7-year-old daughter Molly Anne Bailey.

Founder and CEO of Sandee for Good, Asia’s Regional Director & Club President at LaunchX, Alumni at Quarter Zero, Co-founder of KĂ©toPlants. This might read like the LinkedIn profile of a successful busi­nessperson at the peak of their adult career, but it is in fact the CV of Irawadee Thawornbut, known as Bai-Dteuy, an accomplished Phuketian entrepreneur of just 16 years old.

The Pavilions group of exotic and highly in­dividualistic hotels and resorts may appear at first blush to be a mish-mash of uncon­nected properties without much of a uniting theme or vision. Yet, when you delve a little deeper into these sensational properties, you find that in fact an almost mystically bold vision unites them
 that of finding “para­dise” here on earth.

The name Yassine Darkaoui might ring a bell. That’s because the Moroccan sailor, entrepreneur and Phuket expat graced the Life cover in January this year, sat in lotus on the bow of a boat against the backdrop of Phang Nga.

It was a horribly hot, sticky Phuket morning at Chalong Pier. The assembled throng of tourists queuing for their boats seemed as fractious as the weather itself. Heavy and menacing thunder heads roiled above us, but refused to explode into relieving rain torrents.

Sitting poolside at the stunning Kata Rocks resort and villa development with Richard Pope overlooking Kata Beach and Boo Island, it’s hard not to feel rather overawed. This is, after all, a quintessential vision of tropical perfection with beautiful, white, luxurious villas standing tall upon a stunning rocky headland overlooking the Andaman Sea.

I often feel that I haven’t quite landed in Phuket. Almost daily I’m fortunate enough to meet some of the remarkable, accom­plished individuals that call the island home. These “pinch me” encounters leave ideas and plans bouncing around my brain, like a frantic game of Breakout on an Atari, without much time to fully process them.

Sustainability, green environmental development – these big words sound so far away from our daily life. Not many of us know what to do to change. Queen Elizabeth II has banned using plastics in her palace a few months ago.

Speaking of Superman, you might think of a figure in cartoons or movies: working hard in a small cubicle like average Joe. Once he’s needed, he rushes out, rips off his working clothes, reveals his flying cape, charges into danger to save people’s lives. When crisis is resolved, Superman returns to his normal life. This is exactly what Maksym Polejaka did in July to save the football team in Tham Luang Nang Non Cave in Chiang Rai, except the cape part.

The day I met Maggy Wigman, the President of Phuket International Women’s Club (PIWC), her amiable smile, caring voice and elegant azure dress impressed me at first. Only after getting to know her more did I realise just how superficial I was. She is everything more than how she looks.

Keeping music alive: Ivan Sharapov’s amazing musical journey around Phuket and beyond
Sunday 8 July 2018, 11:45AM
It was on an ordinary tropical night in early 2015 when a musician knocked on the door of The Phuket News’ office. Fresh off the boat to Phuket shores, he was desperate for guidance into the local musical scene, but had zero acquaintances on the island and not a single clue on where to start. A local newspaper looked as good a starting point as anything else. After all, journalists should know people around the place, shouldn’t they?
