Bangkok Pattaya Hospital receives special gifts from the Pattaya Mail for their 12th anniversary
The Bangkok Pattaya Hospital, now in its twelfth year of
operation, received a special gift from the offices of the Pattaya Mail
Publishing Company. Two hundred copies of the Pattaya Mail Dining Out
guide were handed over to the hospital’s International Department to be
placed in hospital rooms.
 (L
to R) Tony Malhotra presented 200 copies of the Dining Out Guide to Reina
Rances, Monica Rottman and Neil Maniquiz at the Bangkok Pattaya Hospital.
The gift is not only to give patients something else to
do to help make their time easier by learning about the city’s vast number
of restaurants and dining venues, but it also coincides with the 1st
anniversary of the Pattaya Blatt, the German language newspaper, and the
10th anniversary of the Pattaya Mail.
The Dining Out guides will add to the ever-increasing
services provided by the hospital for its patients, and the Pattaya Mail
was very happy to provide this extra benefit.

This week we are proud to present two of our newest
graduates. Sunee Sakgiraphong received her BSc in Business Administration
and Arunee Singsirikul received her BSc in Computer Science from Mahidol
University International College. Sunee writes about her experiences in
college.
“I’m Sunee Sakgiraphong, I have just graduated from
Mahidol University International College. I had taken up business study as
my major subject and marketing as my minor. When I joined Mahidol, I was
just a little girl who didn’t know much about life and it was quite scary
and exciting at the same time because at (grade) school, we were pampered
and spoon-fed all the time, but here life was just a different ballgame. You
had to be on your own as well as responsible for all the steps you choose to
take. Mahidol gave me a platform to become tough and face all kinds of
situations and I also got the opportunity to participate in many activities,
made loads of friends and from then on, that little girl has turned out to
be a smart young woman.
“Four years have passed by real soon and now all I wish
is that I could turn back the clock because college life is the best time of
one’s life and every minute spent in that place will be cherished.
“I thank my loving parents for having given me the
opportunity to finish my studies. I will try to use my knowledge to help my
community where I live and further help to teach other children in getting a
good education.”

Cheese!” Celebrating Swiss National Day, Amari Orchid Resort displayed an
under the stars buffet for all guests to feast upon, hosted by Executive
Assistant Managers Orapin Musiknavabutra and Michael Goetz (right) at left

Many guests gathered around for the exhibit of fresh
potatoes smothered by hot Raclette cheese with paprika, kummels and baby
pickles; a true Swiss culinary honor. While dining, Swiss flags waved, live
music played and historical snow-packed televised mountains chilled the warm
night air. Festive, many danced until the cheese was rolled away while
others sipped chilled wine cheering the night on.
On August 1, 1291, three Alpine cantons swore the oath of
confederation, an act that later came to be regarded as the foundation of
Switzerland. Following this, the government decided in 1891 to declare the
day Switzerland’s national day.
Happy National Swiss Day to all from the management and
staff of the Amari Orchid Resort in Pattaya. Holey Swiss cheese! Sustain the
‘wit’ in Switzerland and keep your shape for next years delicious feast.
