The FIFA president & other VIPs then went walkabout onto the grass pitches, which needed more than expected work and funds to reduce subsidence and flooding during the construction period. The Tsunami Memorial Football Centre in Phuket received 950,000 US Dollars or about 33 million baht towards the construction. On the pitch, they posed for several photos with the lucky kids and Mr Blatter also met with foreign tourist police volunteers in Phuket, who want to also raise funds for other football projects, along with their normal security duties. The FIFA president also posed with members of the PPAO and Wichit Municipality who will manage the new facility, on behalf of the kids and young players who will come to train or play here.

ELEPHANT INAPPROPRIATENESS: Bananas are an irresistible lure to elephants, and they’ll cross any boundary to get them.

Ahh Thailand. If the ladyboys don’t get you the elephants will.

I was molested by one in front of a paying audience.

What I had expected was a “baby elephant massage” - a photo opportunity where a (big) baby elephant pretends to massage your back with his foot.

The first indication something was different from the many massages I had just witnessed at the elephant show at Phuket’s Island Safari park was that I was asked to lie on my back rather than my front and with my feet pointing towards the audience.

Once the handlers had shoved bananas up my shorts it was too late to back out, if backing out was ever an option. The elephant’s trunk was in there moments later. It snuffled around in my shorts for what felt like an eternity, although it was probably a matter of seconds. It went right up there. It was bristly and hot, and the sensation lingered well after the ordeal. It was violating. I may have to join a group.

When I stood up all the bananas were gone and everyone was laughing at me. I’ve rarely been so embarrassed. I’m glad I wore my good undies.

Earlier, among other tricks, the elephants had been doing synchronised head-stands as our MC chanted “show those sexy bums! Show those sexy bums!”

I can’t deny I loved the elephant show, although it’s a little hard to justify. They’re definitely not behaving as they should be in the wild but they showed no obvious signs of distress.

Six Senses Destination Spa - Phuket ranked in SpaFinder’s top ten mother-and-daughter spas

(Forimmediaterelease.net) Six Senses Destination Spa - Phuket, the group’s first total-wellness retreat located on the tiny island of Naka just five minutes offshore from Phuket, was the only resort in Asia to be selected in the recently-released Top Ten List of SpaFinder’s Mother-and-Daughter Spas. This raises the question as to what makes Six Senses Destination Spa - Phuket the utopian place in which all senses are united and body, soul, and spirit recharged a “Mother-and-Daughter” favorite?

Since its opening in November 2008, Six Senses Destination Spa - Phuket, has seen mothers and daughters traveling from countries as far away as Monaco, Spain, Germany, Dubai, South Africa, and the United States, often to reunite. However, it is more than reunification… it is the opportunity to escape the stresses of urban life and noise and air pollution as they are whisked away from Phuket on a luxury speedboat to a private island providing a cocoon of wellness, tranquillity, and peace. This is supported by the total absence of intrusive noise, as guests are requested to only use mobile phones in the privacy of their villas.
