Chiang Mai tourists get high as Mon Mak mountain mists roll in for winter

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 07, 2022

Hundreds of tourists climbed Doi Mon Mak mountain in Chiang Mai’s Mae Chaem early on Sunday to witness the natural wonder that cloaks the forests of this northern district every cold season.

Crowds gathered at the summit of the 1,100-metre peak to watch the sunrise break through a sea of fog on the horizon. The panoramic view also revealed the iconic Doi Inthanon, Thailand’s tallest mountain, soaring 2,565 metres high.

Doi Mon Mak is in Tha Pha subdistrict, about 120 kilometres from downtown Chiang Mai. It was opened for tourists in 2019 as a new viewpoint in the northern province, offering unobstructed 360-degree views of the sea of fog, and has become increasingly popular despite the pandemic.

Last year Doi Mon Mak opened a campsite so visitors could spend the night and witness the sunrise early next day. The campsite, which is about 300 metres from the viewpoint, also features rental cabins.

Doi Mon Mak expects to see more visitors over the coming months, as Thais like the cool New Year temperatures and the Covid-19 situation is improving, said Mae Chaem district chief Phatthanan Phithakham.

Hotels and resorts in Mae Chaem have opened for the upcoming high season after being closed for more than two years during the pandemic, she said.

The district is also planning to build and upgrade tourism facilities at Doi Mon Mak, including roads leading to nature treks, car parks and campsite expansion to attract visitors all year round.

Ugandans conquer Doi Suthep in World Mountain Trail Running C’ships

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 07, 2022

Ugandan athletes dominated the inaugural World Mountain and Trail Running Championships, which finished atop Doi Suthep overlooking Chiang Mai on Sunday.

Uganda’s Samuel Kibet clocked 40 minutes and 2 seconds to win the men’s Classic Up & Downhill (10.7km) event. Kenyan Patrick Kipngeno took second in 40.12min while Ugandan Timothy Toroitich sealed total domination for East African runners in third (40.26min).

Uganda’s Rebecca Cheptegei won the women’s event with a time of 46.25min, beating compatriot Annet Chelangat (46.52min) and American Allie McLaughlin (48.31).

In the junior Classic Up & Downhill (6km), Leonard Chemutai of Uganda hit the finish line first among the men in 21.07min while Britain’s Jessica Bailey prevented a Ugandan clean sweep by winning the women’s event in 26.27min.

Tourism Minister Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn said Thailand had grabbed the chance to host this world-class competition, which would now rotate to other countries and might not return for another 20 years. He thanked the organisers and medical teams for looking after the athletes on the gruelling mountainside courses.

“We are negotiating with World Athletics to hold other big events in Thailand, as preparation takes one to two years,” he said.

Surapong Ariyamongkol, Athletic Association of Thailand chief, hailed the championships as a great success that showcased the country as a destination sought out by elite international athletes and tourists alike.

The event was organised jointly by the ministry, Tourism Authority of Thailand, Sports Authority of Thailand, National Sports Development Fund and the national Athletics Association.

Bangkokians in favour of more eco-friendly Loy Krathong celebrations: survey

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 07, 2022

The majority of Bangkokians consider Loy Krathong an important festival, a recent poll revealed, while almost all of the respondents want to see more campaigns on eco-friendly krathong.

This year’s Loy Krathong Festival falls on Tuesday (November 8). Dubbed Thailand’s festival of lights, Loy Krathong Festival is marked by people releasing small, decorated floats called krathong into waterbodies to honour the water goddess on the full moon night of the 12th lunar month.

A Bansomdej Poll survey by Bansomdej Chaopraya Rajabhat University, conducted from October 27 to Novemer 2 among 1,229 Bangkok residents, found that 62.7 per cent of respondents think Loy Krathong is an important tradition and know its meaning, while 75.7% know that it falls on November 8 this year.

However, only 48.1% said they would go out to float their krathong on Tuesday night. Of those who planned to go out, 36.1% will go with family, 25.5% with their lovers/boyfriends and girlfriends, 17.2% with their friends, and 21.2% are not sure yet.

Some 43.8% of those who planned to float their krathong will go to Loy Krathong sites organised by the city, which include public piers and parks; 12.9% will visit events hosted by private organisers/businesses; 7.4% will launch the floats at waterbodies near their homes, while the rest have yet to make up their minds.

When asked about their opinion about this year’s festival organisation, 93.3% of respondents said the government should roll out more campaigns promoting the use of eco-friendly krathong – ones made of natural or biodegradable materials.

Meanwhile, 91.3% believe that Loy Krathong would add more waste to canals and rivers, a problem that must be handled efficiently by related authorities, while 75.3% said they were aware that lighting fireworks and releasing lanterns in the air are banned in Bangkok on Loy Krathong night.

Thailand has 3.4 million poor people, census shows

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 07, 2022

Recent data released by a government census agency shows that Thailand has 3.4 million people living below the poverty line as of January this year.

The data was released by the Thai People Map and Analytics Platform (TPMAP), which surveyed people based on the Community Development Department’s 2021 statistics. It also took into account the number of people who registered for a state welfare card to receive monthly allowances from the government this year.

TPMAP surveyed 36.1 million people across the country to see if they had basic necessities. Of the number surveyed, 3.44 million were found living without their basic needs being met and were thus categorised as “poor”.

Of the 3.44 million people classified as poor, 1.03 million had registered for and received state welfare cards, TPMAP said.

The survey also showed that 1.02 million people need urgent help on the following issues:

• Health: 218,757 people

• Living conditions: 220,037

• Education: 272,518

• Income: 506,647

• Access to government services: 3,335

Thailand has 3.4 million poor people, census shows Deputy government spokesperson Thipanun Sirichana said recently that the government will use the data provided by TPMAP to provide help as soon as possible.

The figures provided by TPMAP, however, are different from those provided by the National Statistical Office of Thailand (NSOT).

According to NSOT figures, Thailand had 4.4 million people living below the poverty line in 2021 compared to 8.44 million in 2012. These are the most up-to-date figures available.

NSOT uses income levels as the criteria for classifying poor people and only considers those who earn less than 2,802 baht per month.

Dangerous erectile dysfunction drug found in popular herbal med

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 07, 2022

Public health offices nationwide have been ordered to recall the “Jiu Jeng Pushen Jiao Nang” herbal medicine after tests showed it contains Tadalafil – a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction.

The Thai Food and Drug Administration (FDA) conducted tests on a lot manufactured by Jong-Thai Jianming Eiw Ea Group Ltd on August 19, 2021, with a 2023 expiry date. The test was conducted on October 21.

The Jiu Jeng Pushen Jiao Nang capsules are marketed as a herbal medicine with many benefits, including balancing hormones and circulation for both men and women.

Even though the manufacturers claim the drug is 100% herbal, the department found it contained Tadalafil – a drug used to treat erectile dysfunction, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Sold under the brand name Cialis, among others, Tadalafil has common side effects like headache, muscular pain, flushed skin, and nausea. Caution is advised for those with cardiovascular disease. The drug is also known to occasionally cause prolonged erection leading to damage to the penis, vision problems and hearing loss.

The FDA has ordered that all Jiu Jeng Pushen Jiao Nang capsules be recalled because they can pose a danger to consumers, and has alerted public health offices to track down those who have bought this medicine.

The FDA will also take legal action against the manufacturer for providing false information and not providing warnings of serious side effects.

THE NATION

Francesco Bagnaia finished ninth in the Valencia Grand Prix on Sunday to become the first Italian MotoGP champion since Valentino Rossi in 2009.

Spaniard Alex Rins won the race in Valencia, while Fabio Quartararo was fourth to finish 17 points behind Bagnaia after blowing a big lead from early in the season.

Quartararo was 91 points ahead after the first nine races.

The 25-year-old Bagnaia won seven races, including four in a row at one point.

“The hardest race of my life,” Bagnaia said. “The most important thing is that we won the championship. It’s a really great day.”

“We did it. I am so happy and super proud because I deserved this victory; Suzuki deserves this victory. During all the weekend I tried to stay calm with all the emotions and all these things, but in the grid in the last minute when you say goodbye to the team members I was crying. “

A Ducati rider hadn’t won a title since Casey Stoner in 2007, and it had been 50 years since an Italian rider had won a MotoGP title with an Italian bike.

TEN HAG: THE RESULT DOESN’T LIE

TEN HAG: THE RESULT DOESN’T LIE

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 07, 2022

THE NATION

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag feels the performance was unacceptable during the 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa.

A fourth loss of the league campaign brought a good run of form to a crashing end, as the Reds made a poor start, falling 2-0 behind inside 11 minutes, and conceded again soon into the second half, despite Jacob Ramsey’s own goal pulling one back before the interval.

During his post-match interviews with the official broadcasters, including MUTV, and at his post-match press conference, the manager offered an honest assessment of the disappointing 90 minutes.

WE WEREN’T READY

“We lost the game at the start of the first half, start of the second half. That’s not acceptable. You have to be ready for the game, we were not. We have to be more sharp. I said it was up to us. It was up to us. We didn’t keep the ball. We let them run at the start of the game, we didn’t get the right organisation but especially we didn’t follow the rules in defending and we lost battles. It’s not acceptable. A player has to take responsibility to be ready. It looked like they were fresher and that’s never acceptable.”

SMALL DETAILS

‘I think the free-kick [from Lucas Digne] is stoppable because the wall is too far [over]. Okay, these small details, but small details make a difference in top football. The details are everything to us because we were not fresh. When you start the game, you always have the attitude and I think that was one of our best standards, as we were really on the front foot and ready to play in all the games to now. Today, we were not.”

INITIAL COMEBACK

“I think that stage [end of first half] was the best part of the game for us. We created chances, with [Alejandro] Garnacho and [Cristiano] Ronaldo. Good chances and it was also well played but then we are back in the game and it’s really disappointing we conceded right after half-time. It’s crucial and we lost the game at the start of the first half and the start of the second half.”

WIN YOUR BATTLES

“The result is clear. That never lies. In football, you get your earnings. Today we were not good enough. You have to read the game. You have to get the right organisation and not concede two goals. That was totally unnecessary because then you have to stay together, compact and win your battles. Stay on the ball. It’s everything we didn’t do.”

TOO MANY CROSSES INTO THE BOX

“No, I think it was stupid to do that [often look for Ronaldo in the air]. We delivered too many quick crosses in from too far away. There was too much forcing and we didn’t have to. We have to find the crosses in the right moments. The right moment was when Christian Eriksen did so in the first half, and the moment was when he found Cristiano in the pocket at the far post. That was the right moment.”

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery celebrates after Jacob Ramsey scores their third goal as Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag looks on

DID WE STILL HAVE BELIEF IN THE SECOND HALF?
“Yes, for a long time, I did. I think, if you get back in the game at 3-2, then everything is possible. I have to say they fight for it, to get that goal, but we didn’t get it and only the last part, the injury time, the belief was gone. Before that, the belief was there and if you get the goal, 3-2, then anything can happen.”

HOW DO WE RESPOND?
”It is a setback. This is a process and I know it will not only go up. Setbacks will come and we have to deal with that.”

Facebook parent Meta is preparing large-scale layoffs this week – WSJ

Facebook parent Meta is preparing large-scale layoffs this week – WSJ

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 07, 2022

Reuters

Meta Platforms Inc is planning to begin large-scale layoffs this week that will affect thousands of employees, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday (November 6) citing people familiar with the matter, with an announcement planned as early as Wednesday (November 09).

Meta declined to comment on the WSJ report.

Facebook parent Meta in October forecasted a weak holiday quarter and significantly more costs next year wiping about $67 billion off Meta’s stock market value, adding to the more than half a trillion dollars in value already lost this year.

The disappointing outlook comes as Meta is contending with slowing global economic growth, competition from TikTok, privacy changes from Apple, concerns about massive spending on the metaverse and the ever-present threat of regulation.

Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg has said he expects the metaverse investments to take about a decade to bear fruit. In the meantime, he has had to freeze hiring, shutter projects and reorganize teams to trim costs.

The social media company had in June cut plans to hire engineers by at least 30%, with Zuckerberg warning employees to brace for an economic downturn.

Meta’s shareholder Altimeter Capital Management in an open letter to Mark Zuckerberg had previously said the company needs to streamline by cutting jobs and capital expenditure, adding that Meta has lost investor confidence as it ramped up spending and pivoted to the metaverse.

Japanese train station turns into bright seascape in the hands of an artist

Japanese train station turns into bright seascape in the hands of an artist

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 06, 2022

A local artist finished painting a quaint little train station in Kushimoto, Wakayama Prefecture six years after starting the project, customising nearly the entire structure in colourful swirls.

Using her unique touch to render the town’s natural environment, 36-year-old Yume Matsuo finally completed painting the entire building of West Japan Railway Company (JR West)’s Kii-Arita Station.

“This station has become a very special place for me,” Matsuo said. “I hope many people will come to see the artwork.”

As an aspiring artist who had drawn for many years, Matsuo began her creative activities in earnest in 2015 under the name “Artist: Matsuo” after working as a company employee and at other jobs. She began painting the Kii-Arita Station the following year while participating in Kinokuni Trainart, a JR West art event featuring the Kisei Line.

Matsuo was unfamiliar with Kushimoto but was taken by the beauty of the town’s seascapes while snorkelling. During her dives, she saw colonies of table corals on the seabed in the clear waters and colourful tropical fish swimming gracefully around the coral.

“It was amazing. I didn’t know such scenery existed in Wakayama Prefecture,” Matsuo said.

Matsuo sojourned in the town on four occasions for one month each time until 2021 to paint the station as part of the Trainart event.

The work, titled “E? Konna tokoro ni konna eki?” (What? This station in this place?), turns nearly the entire station – including the ceiling, flooring of the waiting room, platform, and interior and exterior walls – into her canvas.

The paintings feature an abundance of natural scenes, such as the vast ocean and deep green mountains. Using water-based paint in blue and green hues, Matsuo incorporated many motifs featuring her favourite shape: the circle.

Feeling that the work was not quite complete, Matsuo stayed in Kushimoto for about a month from September to finish it, even though the Trainart event ended last year.

“I can finally call it finished,” Matsuo said.

After the work was done, she held live painting performances at Kushimoto Marine Park, which is near the station. Over the course of three weeks, she painted sea creatures and other subjects on a 2×2.5 metre canvas. The painting will be on display until January 31.

“I honed my skills painting [the station],” she said. “I hope [my artwork] will help promote the station as well as the charms of Kushimoto.”
