Phuket Opinion: For the Love of Bob
Sunday, May 19, 2013  2:28:00 PM
PHUKET: Many years ago, backpacking through Malaysia, I found myself at a hostel one night swapping stories and listening to a fellow traveller playing guitar and singing.

When the dreadlocked musician asked if any of us had any requests I jumped in with “play some Bob Marley” assuming that he would have at least a dozen Marley songs in his repertoire.

His response, “No way, I hate Bob Marley”, shocked and baffled me; how could anyone hate Bob Marley? It wasn’t until I moved to Phuket that I finally understood how a person could come to hate the King of Reggae.

When I first arrived here, I was staying in a cheap hotel in close proximity to several reggae bars.

Being a reggae fan, I thought “well, even if the music is a bit loud,...

Phuket Gazette Queer News: Villagers hope to get lucky with ‘elepig’
Sunday, May 19, 2013  1:44:00 PM
PHUKET: Residents of a village in Nakhon Sri Thammarat are queuing up to visit a household where a pig has just given birth to an unusual piglet.

The mother of the “elepig” gave birth to a litter of 15 piglets on March 27.

Of the newborns, 14 were normal. But one, a white female, had some strange characteristics.

It had a “trunk” about three-inches long coming from its snout and large ears like an elephant. It also had a very long tongue, which protruded about one inch from its mouth.

The elepig’s unusual features mean it finds it hard to drink milk from its mother’s teats, so a human has to help it by dripping the milk into its mouth.

The sow’s owner, Chira Setthakan, 37, said that the pig had given birth to several litters before...

Phuket Pets: As sweet as sugar
Sunday, May 19, 2013  9:50:00 AM
PHUKET: When browsing through markets in Thailand, it is always fascinating to come across a pet store and see which exotic animals they have on offer. Snakes, lizards, turtles, hedgehogs and even African cennec foxes can be found among the more usual cats and dogs.

Walking through the Phuket Town weekend market recently, I discovered a pet shop selling sugar gliders,...
