Ltd. is a Thai service & management company, which is hired to manage the penthouse and make sure that your visit will be a very special experience. You will meet Khun (Mrs.) Mam everyday of your stay. She is a very helpful and nice maid, ready to make you feel at home. Our Service Manager Khun (Ms.) Mintra will be at the penthouse on and off. She is always available on email or mobile +66 892 104 544. To ensure that you, as a guest will get a good experience during your visit, we have prepared this booklet, where you will find various services and assistance that we can provide. If you have special requests, which are not covered in this information booklet, please feel free to contact us on [email protected] for further information Practical Information - The maid in the penthouse is working every day from 8:00 am. - 17:00pm.

The Penthouse staff will assist with contact to a local hospital and arrange transportation. Please remember to bring travel insurance when visiting the hospital. Contact after 22:00pm is only for absolute emergencies – if a phone call is not considered an emergency situation the call will be charged with a fee of 1,000 Thai baht per call. - Sewer Conditions and piping in Thailand are not like home. In Thailand we don’t throw toilet paper directly in the toilet. Please put used toilet paper or other similar items in the provided waste bins next to the toilet. Should a problem occur, please contact the staff! - As the staff of this Penthouse is local from near the area, there are some Thai traditions we honor and which must be respected. By abiding by these rules, we ensure our staff's welfare and the penthouse's standard - remember we are in a country where the culture is very different from ours. 1. Shoes should not be worn inside the penthouse (this means bad luck in Thailand!) 2. Smoking is prohibited inside the penthouse - but tobacco can be enjoyed on the terraces. 3. After use of the Jacuzzi – make sure you have dry feet, because the penthouse floors are extremely slippery. Local Transport Since the penthouse apartment is located outside the city, transport is therefore necessary to get to the city and can be ordered by the staff. 1. You can order a "Song Tail". This is a car where you sit on benches in the back of the car. Many call this type of car for a "Monkey car." Although this does not sound attracting, they are quite an excellent way of transportation. Approximate cost to the city of Bang Saen is 300 Thai baht. Please make payment directly to the driver. 2. If you prefer transportation of a higher standard, an air-conditioned minivan with room for 10 people it can be ordered. The price is around 800 Thai baht which covers a roundtrip to either Bang Saen or Sriracha. We will add the cost to the bill in the penthouse. 3. You can also order a “TUK TUK” – a very traditional mean of transportation in Thailand. It has space for 2 to 3 people. The cost is similar to the “Song Tail” and payment is made directly to the driver. TUK TUK Bathroom Amenities As the pool at the penthouse is under renovation, we have searched for other ways to have a relaxing time by a swimming pool. A nearby resort “Casa Lunar” has a nice swimming pool our guests can visit. “Casa Lunar” charges a small fee for all-day use of their pool facilities. Please see above for means of transportation. Local beaches The area around the penthouse offers different beaches with very cozy environment and local life. 1. Bang Saen beach - a beach with a lot of small stalls and shops. Here you can rent bikes, order food and eat with your feet in the Ocean. You can also have an inexpensive massage directly on the beach, etc.. 2. Beaches in Pattaya / Jomtien – these are crowded beaches with a great array of different activities. You can rent Jet Ski, Para Sailing etc. These beaches are very popular tourist spots and therefore have multiple offerings of all kinds. They are not the best beaches in Thailand, but fun for a day out! Transportation from the penthouse is about 45min. 3. The island of Ko Lan - Ko Lan is located out from Pattaya. This island a wonderful tropical island with superb sandy beaches and bathing quality in the top class. Please contact the Service Manager for arrangement of these trips. Life in the community: In the area near the penthouse you will find a vibrant city with plenty of restaurants, and nightclubs.

We wish you a very nice stay in Thailand Sincerely, Mintra Management Co.,Ltd Soft Drinks 20.- 20.- 20.- 20 .- 20.- 20.- 25.- 25.- 15.- Beer & Wine Beer & Wine in Thailand Wine production Thailand is still at a beginner’s stage. You can buy wine produced in Thailand, but neither we nor our customers are very impressed! We therefore have put together a selection of imported wines in different price ranges. You will find that wine is significantly more expensive than in Denmark. Beer however is a different story. Thailand is brewing some excellent beers, which easily can be compared to Danish standards. In the past Carlsberg worked in collaboration with Beer Chang, where they exchanged experiences. It was during that setup here in Thailand, that Carlsberg got their logo with the elephant. Note the logo of the Beer Chang (Chang means elephant in Thai). 50.- Wines in the penthouse We have chosen different wines to offer to our guests. If you have special requests regarding the selection, please let us know before you arrive.

    Report of Thailand on Cartographic Activities During the Period of 2007-2009*

    UNITED NATIONS E/CONF.100/CRP.15 ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COUNCIL Eighteenth United Nations Regional Cartographic Conference for Asia and the Pacific Bangkok, 26-29 October 2009 Item 7(a) of the provisional agenda Country Reports Report of Thailand on Cartographic Activities * During the Period of 2007-2009 * Prepared by Thailand Report of Thailand on Cartographic Activities During the Period of 2007-2009 This country report of Thailand presents in brief the cartographic activities during the reporting period 2007-2009 performed by government organizations namely Royal Thai Survey Department , Hydrographic Department and Meteorological Department. The Royal Thai Survey Department (RTSD) The Royal Thai Survey Department is the national mapping organization under the Royal Thai Armed Forces Headquarters , Ministry of Defense. Its responsibilities are to survey and to produce topographic maps of Thailand in support of national security , spatial data infrastructure and other country development projects. The work done during 2007-2009 is summarized as follows. 1. Topographic maps in Thailand Topographic maps in Thailand were initiated in the reign of King Rama the 5th. In 1868, topographic maps covering border area on the west of Thailand were carried out for the purpose of boundary demarcation between Thailand and Burma. Collaboration with western countries, maps covering Bangkok and Thonburi were produced. During 1875, with farsighted thought in country development, King Rama the 5th established Topographic Department serving road construction in Bangkok and set up telecommunication network from Bangkok to Pratabong city. Besides, during this period of time, maps covering Thai gulf were produced serving marine navigation use. In 1881, Mr. Mcarthy from the United Kingdom was appointed as director of Royal Thai Survey Department (RTSD), previously known as Topographic Department, and started conducting Triangulation survey in Thailand.

    Assessment of Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Corridors

    About the Assessment of Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Corridors The transformation of transport corridors into economic corridors has been at the center of the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) Economic Cooperation Program since 1998. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) conducted this Assessment to guide future investments and provide benchmarks for improving the GMS economic corridors. This Assessment reviews the state of the GMS economic corridors, focusing on transport infrastructure, particularly road transport, cross-border transport and trade, and economic potential. This assessment consists of six country reports and an integrative report initially presented in June 2018 at the GMS Subregional Transport Forum. About the Greater Mekong Subregion Economic Cooperation Program The GMS consists of Cambodia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Myanmar, the People’s Republic of China (specifically Yunnan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region), Thailand, and Viet Nam. In 1992, with assistance from the Asian Development Bank and building on their shared histories and cultures, the six countries of the GMS launched the GMS Program, a program of subregional economic cooperation. The program’s nine priority sectors are agriculture, energy, environment, human resource development, investment, telecommunications, tourism, transport infrastructure, and transport and trade facilitation. About the Asian Development Bank ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining

    Integral Study of the Silk Roads: Roads of Dialogue

    INTEGRAL STUDY OF THE SILK ROADS: ROADS OF DIALOGUE 21-22 JANUARY 1991 BANGKOK, THAILAND Document No. 1 6 Maritime Trade during the 14th and the 17th Century: Evidence from the Underwater Archaeological Sites In the Gulf of Siam Mr. Sayan Prichanchit 1 Maritime Trade during the 14th and the 17th Century: Evidence from the Underwater Archaeological Sites in the Gulf of Siam Sayan Prichanchit Introduction The catchword in today's transportation field is convenience. Journeys to distant continents which might be thousands of miles away can be made within hours in aircrafts that have been developed to achieve supersonic speed. However, the high cost of airfreight discourages merchants from using it to transport heavy and bulky cargo which is more economically moved by sea-faring vessels - a mode of transport which has been utilized by merchants for thousands of years. Ships can sail at much higher speeds and can carry tens of thousands of tons in this modern era, but they also continue to provide housing and office space for all of those who sail them in much the same way that they have in the past. All of the activities of man's daily life are still squeezed on board. There is evidence to suggest that sea traders from afar were present on the river plains in central Thailand and along the coast of the Gulf of Siam down to the Malay Peninsula since the 4th or 5th century. During the 7th to the 11th centuries when human settlement had become more prominent, with the Dvaravati Kingdom controlling much of central Thailand and the Srivijaya Kingdom's territory covering the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian Archipelago, evidence of maritime trade routes include ceramics from China, glass and stone beads from India and Persia, and cult icons, all of which had been carried to the region by these maritime traders and introduced to the indigenous people.

  • Survey for Semi-Tame Colonies of Macaques in Thailand

    NAT. HIST. BULL. SIAM Soc. 40: 103-166 SURVEY FOR SEMI-TAME COLONIES OF MACAQUES IN THAILAND Nantiya Aggimarangsee* ABSTRACT A survey of semi-tame colonies of macaques near human habitations was undertaken to give a broader picture of their distribution outside of forest conservation areas in Thailand, and to assess their possibilities for survival. In the survey, population size and age-sex composition, ranging behavior, habitat available, amount of provisioning by humans and attitudes of local people were assessed. Eight study sites were selected for brief study of the macaques' ecology and behavior. A total of 52 sites were visited. There were 42 free-ranging colonies, two sites with captive animals only, and eight sites with both free-ranging and captive monkeys. The age­ sex composition of the monkeys was observed in 36 sites. At least 2, 728 macaques were observed at 36 sites, including 2,538 Macacafascicularis (33 colonies), 103M. mulatta (one colony), 56 M. assamensis (one colony), and 31 M. arctoides (one colony) Twenty-one of the sites visited had colonies now completely isolated from other populations of the same species. These colonies therefore could be at risk of extinction over the long term from demographic fluctuation, inbreeding and local habitat loss. The effective population size (N0) of 14 sites was below 50 breeding individuals. At 19 of the sites monkeys received some provisioning from visitors, six sites were almost fully dependent on provisioning, and eleven sites were occasionally provisioned. Overall, the monkeys looked healthy (without hair loss or malnourishment) at 31 sites, three sites had obese monkeys, and two sites had undernourished monkeys.
