Cover Story: International Clubs Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015

With expatriates from all over the world

living and working in Thailand, there’s a myriad of

international groups offering social activities and

support.

In this month’s cover story, Thani Talk

highlights some of the major women’s groups in

Bangkok. Some, such as Club Canada Thailand,

which in 2003 changed its name from Canadian

Women’s Group in order to include male

members, do not limit membership to women.

Other clubs welcome members of all nationalities.

For a comprehensive list of international

clubs, check the Bangkok Guide, published by the

Australian New Zealand Women’s Group and

available at Villa Supermarket and major book

stores, for additional nationality groups.

In addition to the clubs we highlight in this

issue, more informal nationality social groups can

also be found through ISB and other schools. For

example, ISB’s PTA has 20 different country

International Clubs Help Build Friendships

representatives offering activities for, among

others, parents from Africa, Holland, Scandinavia,

Indonesia, India, Israel, Korea, Philippines,

Malaysia, and Japan. There are also groups based

on linguistics rather than national borders, such as

groups for Chinese speakers, German speakers,

and French speakers.

Professional groups also abound, including

chambers of commerce for more than a dozen

countries.

In addition, for our readers here in the

Nonthaburi community, there’s our neighborhood

volunteer group, Nonthaburi Neighborhood Reach,

that welcomes all. (see NNR President’s letter on

page 3)

If you’re new to the community, touch base

with the groups that interest you. It’s a great way

to make new friends!

In 1955 The American

Women’s Club was co-founded

by Freda Lyman, and the

dynamic beginning of American

women’s philanthropic

endeavors in Thailand was

formed. From supporting

humanitarian efforts, to

organizing lectures on Thai

culture and local crafts, the AWC assimilated as a

strong community of expatriate members from a

base of that time of about 1,200 total Americans in

Thailand. The group has continued to embrace all

nationalities in its organization, carrying forward

relief efforts for the needs of Thailand’s people,

and enveloping Thai culture as part of their own to

this day.

Be a part of history and join us as we

commemorate our Diamond Anniversary with our

“Shine Bright Like a Diamond” gala celebration!

We would like to also invite you to our

years played a major part in the

lives of many expatriate women

support amongst its members during their stay here

in Thailand.

We organise a yearly calendar of events and

activities, act as liaison for several sports, games,

and craft. The highlight every year is the

Melbourne Cup Charity Luncheon held on the first

Tuesday in November and considered Bangkok's

social event of the year.

ANZWG is also well known for its

community service work, its fundraising and its

impressive publication - Bangkok Guide which is

now in its 19th edition.

We are successful because of our members,

both past and present - women who come from

different backgrounds, are of varying ages and

have many differing interests. Women whose

enthusiasm and commitment to our group have

ensured its continued success.

BAMBI stands for: Bangkok Mothers

& Babies International, a project of the

Childbirth and Breastfeeding Foundation of

Thailand (CBFT).

We are a non-profit social group run by

volunteer mums & dads. Our aim is to provide

support and companionship for expecting parents

and parents of young children of all nationalities

in Bangkok and Pattaya.

BAMBI supports all mums whatever their

birth and baby feeding choices may be. At the

same time we promote what is considered by

UNICEF, the WHO and the Thai government as

'best practice' to promote and support healthy

mums and babies.

Among our activities we offer prenatal and

postnatal support (Bumps & Babies sessions and

library), regular playgroups for babies and

toddlers, parties for the whole family, yard sales

events and dinners for working mums. We are

issuing a wonderful monthly magazine about the

early years of parenting. We have a link to varied

support groups in town, an informative website

with busy classifieds section, an active Facebook

page and much, much more.

BAMBI is not a charity organization.

However we do feel we need to contribute to the

Thai community we live in. Therefore surplus

funds raised through membership, donations and

activities are donated to local charities which

Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015 Cover Story: Interantional Groups

Latin Community in Thailand (Communidad Latina en Tailandia)

In 1992, a group of Thai, Spanish and other

Latin residents in Thailand decided to create a

formal club to expand Spanish language and also

organize social activities, including an annual

Latin Ball.

The club was known as the Thai-Hispanic

Association. Today, the group is called “Latin

Community in Thailand”. We try to follow in the

footsteps of our predecessor the Thai-Hispanic

Association. We continue to work with the same

spirit and with the same purpose in mind, but as a

group of volunteers organizing different activities

during the year such as the Latin Ball, lunches,

the bingo bazaar, etc.

Our board members include Anita,

Alejandra, Adriana, Gabriela, Melina and Sergio.

I would also like to mention Rosalina who is the

Latin Representative at ISB’s PTA. She organizes

a lunch every month and keeps the Latin

community updated with events and school

information.

Year founded: The Thai Hispanic Association

was founded around 1992. Since 2012, we have

been working as a volunteer group under the

name Communidad Latina en Tailandia.

Number of current members: More than 200 in

our formal list and even more people who join

our activities.

Annual membership fee: Free. Being a group of

volunteers, we only charge a fee according to the

activity we organize.

Who is eligible to join: Our main language is

Spanish, and we welcome all nationalities that

want to join and practice our language and also

enjoy our activities, but this is not a limitation.

Address of club: We don't have a specific space

because volunteers offer their houses or addresses

for meetings and also activities.

Regular club activities: Our main event is the

Latin Ball in March, one Bingo event, one or two

bazaars, charity activities, toddler and small

children group, tours, cooking meetings, painting

groups and other activities according to our

members interests.

Major fundraisers: Our Latin Ball which helps

us support our main charities: Pakkret

orphanages, scholarships and local projects for

children and women in need. Main organizations

we have supported: Christian Children with

Disabilities, Colabora Brimania and Nightlight.

CCT is a non-profit social organization

based in Bangkok. We welcome Canadians and

friends of Canada. CCT was created to promote

friendship amongst our members and good

relations with our Thai neighbors. We offer

members a variety of recreational and cultural

activities.

We host tennis and mahjong games, as well

as a very popular monthly book club group called

Fiddleheads. We also have monthly lunches where

we visit different restaurants around Bangkok. We

try to have one planned activity a month for our

members, for example a painting workshop or a

trip to a museum. We also do “pop up events” that

are spur of the moment activities that everyone in

the club is invited to attend.

This past March, we brought back our

“Snowball” gala. It was a great success, raising

over 350,000 baht for charity. Our welfare team

will be distributing these funds to needy

organizations in Bangkok. We will be planning

another “Snowball” for 2016.

Members receive a quarterly newsletter and

are invited to join our Facebook page where they

can ask for recommendations or advice from our

members. Some of our members have lived here

for decades, others just a few months. We would

like to encourage anyone interested in the club to

contact us! For inquires, please contact:

NNR Supports Local Charities, Welcomes Volunteers

NNR donated 12,000 baht of powdered

Nutrini, a food supplement, to Rachawadee Ying, a

local home for disabled girls.

Many thanks for helping the nursing staff

there meet the nutritional needs of the children on

the sick ward, children with cerebral palsy who

have difficulty swallowing, and even a couple of

gals with complex needs who are cared for by

foster families.

Recently a local government school, the

Chonlaprathaan Song Khrao School, sent some

children with special needs to join the Special

Olympics in Nakhorn Phathom province.

When I sent the teams off, I became aware of

the school’s need for sports equipment. They had

two tennis tables for about 700 children from

grades 4 to 9. For the Special Olympics

competition, four teams competed in table tennis

(ping pong), and they won a gold medal.

Their soccer team placed 4th out of 14 teams.

Just after the competition, a mildly used tennis

table was donated by someone leaving

Nichada. The assistant principal was delighted, as

were the physical education teachers.

If anyone has sports equipment that they are

not using, please consider passing it on to the

Chonlaprathaan Song Khrao School or other

government schools, or the social welfare homes.

Door-to-Door Milk Delivery

Door-to-Door Drycleaning Service

Just wanted to put a recommendation up

for Khun Meow and her husband who

deliver milk, eggs, juice, yogurt, yogurt drinks

and soda water to your door three days a week

(Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday) .

You just pick stuff out of the coolers on

their truck! They were super helpful for me,

because my kids drink so much milk, and we

didn't have a golf cart when we first arrived in

Nichada. Their phone number is 081-774-4989,

call them if you want them to stop at your house

during rounds.

Marea Hawes

This is a golden tip passed down by Rufie

Harr before she left Thailand. I have since used

Ishiya Dry Cleaning and Laundry Service on a

regular basis and absolutely love the prompt

pick-up and delivery service to my home.

Khun Winai, a manager at Ishiya, said the

company has been in business for 30 years.

Another manager, Mr. Hishayoshi Kumata,

personally picks up and drops off orders in the

Nichada area on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

The prices are reasonable, and the quality

of cleaning is excellent.

Simply phone the Bangkok shop at 02-663-

4745, or Mr. Kumata at 081-814-3128.

Facials and Waxing at The Waxing Queen

Thailand’s hot weather plays havoc with

my skin and a good facial can be hard to come

by.

Khun Aom and Khun Noi first came to my

rescue 5 years ago with deep cleansing facials

that were just like what I would get back home

but at a much better price, and with a relaxing

massage included!

Experienced and trained in Australia, Khun

Aom and Khun Noi have recently opened up

their own salon offering waxing, face/body

massages and body scrubs too.

You’ll find them on the ground floor of

Royal Condo Tower (Soi 28 Chaengwattana

Road) right by Central Chaengwattana. You can

call or message them at 089-499-4248 (10am-

8pm).

A local business well-worth supporting!

Passion Delivery: Online Grocer Delivers to Your Home

If you are looking for top quality, gourmet

food items, look no further than Passion

Delivery. Passion delivery is a food delivery

service that sources some of the best artisan

foods in the Bangkok area and brings them right

to your doorstep.

They recently started delivery to Nichada

Thani. You place your order on Thursday for

delivery the following Tuesday. The online

gourmet grocer offers an extensive selection of

meats, cheeses, sausages, breads, desserts,

yogurts and dips to name a few items. I have

always been pleased with the products I have

ordered. Many of the items come from artisan

foodies that produce their own goods so they can

maintain the high quality of their products. Many

of these vendors can be found at the Bangkok

Farmer’s market but it’s not always easy to get

to the market. Passion delivery brings them

together in one convenient place for delivery.

You may find the delivery service at http://

Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015 Highlights: NNR’s May Tour

Amazing Aranyik: A Village of Steel Forges

On 11 May, the NNR arranged a tour to a

rural village in Ayutthaya Province that creates the

beautiful stainless steel silverware and table

accessories sold at the NNR fall bazaar and Thai

Craft shows.

The tour included a brief history of steel

forges in the area and then a visit to the Ban

Aranyik workshop, where we watched the process

of making silverware and a handcrafted,

high luster, steel dimpled bowl. We learned about

the difference in quality between Ban Aranyik

produced items and others that don’t use the same

high standards.

We also drove to an actual village where we

watched an artisan crafting the signature loop on

many of the Aranyik tableware products. The

members of the production group were delighted

to have NNR visit and were appreciative of our

support, good ideas and, of course, our shopping!

Most of the participants purchased products

for their homes or for gifts this summer while

traveling back to the states

Lee Derr

Attending NNR’s tour of a stainless steel

factory in Ayutthaya Aranyik village was an eye

opening experience. Village craftsmen take the

highest quality steel and forge it into various

platters, bowls, and silverware. Their process is

rudimentary, but it works. Workers are highly

skilled and take pride in their work. I will gladly

pay higher prices for their hammered steel

knowing that I will receive the highest

craftsmanship and quality.

Erawan Shrine: Where Buddhists Worship a Hindu God

(Above): A statue of the Hindu God Brahma,

Lord of Creations, sits damaged after the Aug.

17 bomb blast at Bangkok’s Erawan Shrine. The

4-faced deity suffered a chipped chin but

miraculously survived the attack.

The devastating Aug. 17 bomb blast that

shocked the kingdom briefly closed the Erawan

Shrine, one of Thailand’s most famous

landmarks. But days after the tragedy, the shrine

reopened, and worshippers flocked back to pay

their respects and pray for the victims.

Built in 1956, the Erawan Shrine was

constructed after a series of fatal accidents beset

the construction of the Erawan Hotel, (rebuilt in

1987 as the Grand Hyatt Erawan). Upon

completion of the shrine, problems disappeared,

and locals heightened their belief in the power of

the Hindu God Brahma, Lord of Creations, who

presides at the shrine.

At the Rajprasong intersection where the

shrine is located, you will see, without fail, Thai

Buddhists waiing Brahma as they walk past the

corner. As buses pass the shrine, drivers often

take their hands off the steering wheel to wai.

The Erawan Shrine is also sacred to Chinese

and other Buddhist tourists, who make sure to

visit and pray, offer garlands, or pay for dancers

to perform in honor of Brahma.

The adoption of Hindu gods by Buddhists

is not unusual, as can be seen by the abundance of

images of Hindu gods, especially Ganesha, with

his elephant head, who is seen all over Thailand.

Through the years, the Erawan Shrine has

seen its share of history, due to its location at the

Worshippers, especially tourists, flock to the

Erawan Shrine to pray for good fortune.

due to street cleaning, escaped the Aug. 17 blast.

heart of the city, and therefore political street

protests.

Undoubtedly, the shrine will be a witness

to future national events, but hopefully, it will be

spared more violence.

Campervan Trip

Up the Coast of Western Australia

We then hired a campervan for 10 days and drove

3,000 km from Perth to Exmouth and back.

We hired the camper from Perth, where there are

many companies to choose from, and they offer a

variety of packages and size/style campers. It is

worth checking up on Australian car seat

regulations if you are travelling with kids.

As it was Australian school holidays and therefore

peak time, we decided (wisely in hind-sight) to

prebook all of our campervan sites. If you were to

do the trip in off-peak, I reckon you could get

away without making bookings. There are also a

few “rest areas”, along the way where you can free

camp but they tend to be just off the main road and

so not always particularly nice places to stay.

After filling up with food and fuel we began our

road trip heading north. Along the way we stopped

at The Pinnacles, in Cervantes. These are made up

of thousands of natural limestone “pillars” poking

out of the sandy desert.

During the summer break our family went to

Perth, Western Australian. Perth is an easy 7-hour

direct flight from Bangkok, with only a 1-hour

time difference.

If you haven’t done a campervan trip, give it a try.

Our road trip by campervan up the coast of

Western Australia provided a great family

friendly holiday, with the freedom to stop

whenever and wherever we wanted!

First, we spent 5 days enjoying beautiful Perth,

including: the amazing beaches a short hop from

the city centre, a fun day at the Cultural Centre

taking in the art gallery, museum and SCI Tech (a

child friendly interactive science museum and

planetarium), wandering the streets of Freeman

(or Freo as the locals call it) and stopping

frequently at some of the great cafes, restaurants

and micro-breweries. Another great day trip is to

Rottnest Island, where you can hire bikes to

explore.

Cathy Sackett

The next night we stopped in the beautiful

town of Kalbarri which is situated right on

the mouth of Murchison River. An hour up

the road from Kalbarri is the national park

with the spectacular “Nature’s Window”.

Shark Bay World Heritage region is home to

the famous Monkey Mia dolphins, a small pod of

which have been coming to be fed there every

morning for the last 40+ years.

We carried on up to Coral Bay, which was our

favourite place on the trip. It is a tiny town with a

couple of camp sites right on the beach. From

there we went up to Exmouth, which in itself isn’t

much, but it is the gateway to the Ningaloo Marine

Reef. Exmouth is a great place for diving,

snorkeling and fishing.

This amazing area is home to many beautiful

marine creatures, including Whale Sharks. We

spent a beautiful day out on a boat as part of a tour

in which you can swim with the Whale Sharks –

the main season for this is April to July.

Unfortunately for us, the day of our visit turned

out to be the first day of the whole season that no

whale sharks were spotted! We did however see

many pods of dolphins, huge turtles, sting rays

and some beautiful hump back whales swimming

along with very young calves!

For our family, the campervan trip was a

FANTASTIC experience. I highly recommend it.

Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015 Hobby Groups

The Nonthaburi Needlers started out as a quilt

group founded in 1998 by former Nichada resident

Doris Gregory. After Doris left Thailand in 2002,

her friends continued the group and named it

“Bangkok Quilt Group.” It has since expanded to

include all types of needle artists, meeting under

the new name, Nonthaburi Needlers.

We meet every Tuesday morning at 10am to work

on our individual projects. Members take turns

hosting the meeting and providing snacks.

Needlers have 55 alumni members worldwide who

follow its private Facebook page. Locally, more

than half a dozen members meet up each week.

Beginners are welcome. If one of us is familiar

with your craft, we can help you over the rough

spots that often haunt a first time project.

Some of our members make charity quilts for local

orphanages and the elderly, hilltribe villagers, and

Habitat for Humanity. We have supplies available

for those quilts if you’d like to sew one to donate.

Completed quilt tops are sandwiched with batting

and quickly tied to make a cozy quilt. If you aren’t

already a quilter, tying the sandwich together is an

easy way to participate.

On occasion, we organize field trips to visit local

artists or shopping venues. A favorite destination

is Sampeng Lane in Chinatown were we hunt for

cotton fabric, crystals, buttons, batting,

embroidery supplies, knitting wool, silk thread,

etc. We usually finish with an air-conditioned stop

and a cold drink at China World (which has many

fabric stores) or Old Siam Shopping Center,

which has beautiful fabric including a wide

selection of silk, as well as an indoor ‘street food’

court that has terrific mango and sticky rice and

other delights.

Another source of inspiration is the Queen Sirikit

SUPPORT foundation. We especially enjoy the

SUPPORT showroom and watching the artists at

the Bang Sai Royal Folk Arts and Crafts Centre.

We also organize small groups to attend classes

and workshops by traveling artists. These classes

are sponsored by sewing machine companies in

Bangkok, so we look for ones that are offered in

English.

If you would like to join the Nonthaburi Needlers,

or would like more information, please send an

email to [email protected].

Restaurant Review Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015Thani Talk ~September 2015

Greyhound Café is a familiar sight around many

of the upscale shopping centers around Bangkok.

You’ll find them in 10 different locations

including Central Lad Prao, Central World,

EmQuartier, and Siam Centre. What is so special

about a chain of Asian-fusion restaurants? A few

things actually.

First the menu. There is a diverse menu of Thai,

Asian, and Western cuisine. Some of my favorite

dishes include Salmon with a chili-lime, garlic,

and dill dipping sauce– a great example of fusion

cuisine.

Another great one is the grilled vegetable lasagna.

It’s a lovely tower of mushrooms, olives,

eggplant, zucchini, tomato sauce and cheese.

Another great one is the DIY nachos. To

paraphrase Cosmo Kramer from the American TV

show Seinfeld: you get your tortilla, you add the

sauce, you add the chicken, you add the cheese

with a dab of sour cream, and then throw it into

your mouth.

These are only some of my favorites but there is a

huge selection of reasonably priced appetizers and

entrees available.

Room for dessert? Good. There is a diverse

array of cakes, crepes, sundaes, and other treats

available. My independent research into the

subject reveals that the most delicious is the

Bonoffee in a jar. It’s a brownie, banana,

caramel, cookie and other sinful bites, stuffed

into a jar. Can you get all the ingredients on a

single spoonful?

Then there are the

drinks. There is a

variety of coffees,

shakes, cocktails

and mocktails to

choose from. There

is also a wine list.

You’re about to

learn why I’m such

a big fan of this

place. Every night

from 7pm until

9pm is Happy Hour. That means buy one and get

two. Be warned, this is not consistent across all

the Greyhound cafes.

However the one at Crystal Park has this Happy

Hour offer, and it includes bottles of wine. It’s

true. Buy one bottle of wine and get two. I’m not

sure there is anyplace else in Bangkok where you

can get two bottles of decent Chilean or

Australian wine for about 1,200 baht. Can’t drink

it all? No problem, take it home.

So, from the great food, decadent desserts, cool

atmosphere, shocking deals on wine, and silly

t-shirts on the wait staff (“Life is not all about

Khaopad” “You’re my real boss, not him in the

black suit”), Greyhound Café is a great option for

a fun, relaxed meal. With the price of appetizers

around THB 150, and entrees in the THB 200-

300 range, even a dinner for the whole family is

easy on the wallet.
