GLITTER CANCER BALL
GLITTER CANCER BALL
BRINGING THE THAI & EXPATRIATE COMMUNITY TOGETHER TO BEAT CANCER Help Us Build a new Cancer Radiology Center in Phuket Each year, Vachira Public Hospital cares for over 600 new cancer patients from Phuket, Phang Nga and Krabi who need radiation therapy. Tragically, as there is no Government radiation facility in Phuket, patients are forced to travel long distances to Surat Thani and further, for life saving treatments. While therapy costs are covered, the travel and accommodation expenses place a heavy burden on families, often forcing them to sleep in cars or heartbreakingly, abandon therapy altogether. To change this, we are building Phuket’s first dedicated Cancer Radiation Center. Our incredible Thai community have already raised THB 180 million of the THB 290 million needed. Now, we need your support to raise the final THB 110 million. Let’s bring the Phuket community together to ease the suffering of families battling cancer. Join us at the Glitter Cancer Ball on Saturday, 8 February, at the Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Town, with the Phuket Governor as our Guest of Honour. Entertainment: Lilly.V will be flying into Phuket to entertain as well as a Jazz Quartet and DJ Lada. Food: Phuket’s top hotels will be sponsoring delicious live food stations. Drinks: Selected free flow beverages for 4 hours Proceeds from tickets and a special auction will go directly toward this vital project. Tables seat 10 and tickets are priced at B3,500 per person or B5,000 per person for a VIP front table with special amenities. Your support will make a life-changing difference Over 130 guests have already reserved their seats. BOOK NOW

Thoughts on water gardens
All Asians prize water in their gardens – from the humble pot in the front yard, with its mandatory water lily and darting  swordtails, to the  fibreglass fish pond, usually painted blue and with a row of pebbles embedded in its rim. If you are lucky, you may have a natural pond or ‘klong’ within the bounds of your property. Unarguably, water adds another dimension, both as an eye-catching feature, and because it allows the cultivation of plants that would otherwise be off-bounds.
