We are back at Connect at 7PMOn the beach we will provide party music, beach chairs, umbrellas and beach volleyball.

During our stay we provide plenty of food and drinks. Fresh fruit, tuna sandwich, Tom Yam soup, Baked potatoes with skagen cream, BBQ chicken and sausages. Please let us know in advance if you need vegetarian food. We have an open bar with various drinks included in the price 1950 THB. Sign up at Connect.

The highlight of any visit to Patong Beach in Phuket
is the weekly island gay tour. For an all-inclusive
fee of 1,950 baht per person, you are brought by minibus
and speedboat to an unspoiled island
to the east of Phuket. When you emerge
from the water, a tempting barbecue lunch will have
been prepared for you. As well as a wide choice of
meats and sauces, there is plenty of fresh fruit. All
of these items can be washed down by a vast supply
of free drink, ranging from water and fruit juices
to different beers. Any special dietary needs will
be met upon request. With up to 13 different nationalities
taking part on these trips, they present an ideal occasion
to make new friends, which you might not otherwise
meet during your stay. After that, all go
home tired and happy! The trip starts every saturday
at 11.00 from Connect and returns again to Connect
around 19.00 Total transport time each way is around
1 hour -- 30 minutes by air conditioned minibus and
30 minutes by speedboat. Please book your trip in advance
at Connect, in person or by email. Note that the trip
may be cancelled in stormy weather. The all-inclusive
fee is 1950 baht per person.

- One more thing. If you have the time, do take the
gay day trip to the tiny island of Koh Kai. This
is organized by Connect and is a fun day of sun,
snorkeling and great food among friends. It should
not be missed. David Fort

- During the past 10 years we have been to Thailand
15 times, and one of the best experiences we have
had was the gay day trip to Koh Kai. Lovely island,
good food and drinks. Lot of fun, both with other "farangs" and
the thai staff. We hope to join you again soon. Tor & Steinar 17

SafeTips of the Week
-- Safety at the Beach
Protect your skin: Sunlight contains two kinds
of UV rays -- UVA increases the risk of skin
cancer, skin aging, and other skin diseases.
UVB causes sunburn and can lead to skin cancer.
Limit the amount of direct sunlight you receive
between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and wear a sunscreen
with a sun protection factor containing a high
rating such as 15.
Drink plenty of water regularly and often even
if you do not feel thirsty. Your body needs
water to keep cool. Avoid drinks with alcohol
or caffeine in them. They can make you feel
good briefly but make the heat's effects on
your body worse. This is especially true with
alcoholic beverages, which dehydrates the body.
Watch for signs of heat stroke: Heat stroke
is life-threatening. The victim's temperature
control system, which produces sweating to
cool the body, stops working. The body temperature
can rise so high that brain damage and death
may result if the body is not cooled quickly.
Signals include hot, red, and dry skin; changes
in consciousness, rapid, weak pulse, and rapid,
shallow breathing. Move the person to a cooler
place. Quickly cool the body by wrapping wet
sheets around the body and fan it. If you have
ice packs or cold packs, place them on each
of the victim's wrists and ankles, in the armpits
and on the neck to cool the large blood vessels.
Watch for signals of breathing problems and
make sure the airway is clear. Keep the person
lying down.
Wear eye protection: Sunglasses are like sunscreen
for your eyes and protect against damage that
can occur from UV rays. Be sure to wear sunglasses
with labels that indicate that they absorb
at least 90 percent of UV sunlight.
Wear foot protection: Many times, people's
feet can get burned from the sand or cut from
glass in the sand.
Spinal Injury Prevention
Don't dive headfirst into any unknown water.
Remember, the beach ocean floor may change
its shape constantly.
In shallow water, don't dive headfirst toward
the bottom into oncoming waves.
In shallow water, don't stand with your back
to the waves.
Don't jump or dive from a cliff, pier, jetty
or bridge.
Don't swim near piers or breakwaters. The currents
here may be very strong, even for the best
of swimmers.
Stay clear of boats. They take time to change
direction, and they may not even see you.
Swim parallel to the shore. If you swim out
too far, you may be too tired to swim back.

Please observe
This tour to this deserted Island
includes certain risks. We are far away from
civilization and accidents might happen.
If you have a medical condition please let
the staff know in advance. If you go swimming
or snorkeling please use a life jacket provided
even if you are a good swimmer. Use protective
footwear when wading in shallow waters to
prevent cuts from corals or Sea Urchins.
Do never swim alone. Common sense
should prevail.
