PHUKET: Phuket Governor Tri Augkaradacha has asked police officers to step up security at hotels with foreign guests throughout the island in the wake of the US embassy's issuance of a terror augury to American citizens on Friday .
The British embassy in Bangkok followed on Saturday by stepping up its terror warning for definite areas in Thailand.
“Phuket has thankfully not yet suffered any acts of terrorism, but we are not ignoring the current situation in Bangkok because Phuket has a lot of western tourists. If anything serious happened in Phuket, it would undoubtedly affect our tourism,” he said.
Governor Tri explained that he assigned Phuket Provincial Police Commander Maj Gen Chonasit Wattanavrangku to categorize with the superintendents of all police stations in Phuket to ensure anti-terrorist measures were being taken.
“I have suggested to supervise to possibly set up checkpoints across the island or to check on hotels in Patong where US citizens or Europeans are

One Night in Bangkok

The blinding neon and shady denizens of the Bangkok night are captured vividly in American painter Chris Coles’ watercolour renditions of the lurid and colourful world of the Thai capital’s notorious nightlife.
Heavily distorted lines and strong, clashing colors dominate in these paintings which portray a chaotic, edgy noir world of colliding intention and misplaced desire, lives out of balance, male-female compulsion, alienation and disassociation.
They echo the German Expressionist paintings from Berlin in the early 1900’s as well as the Paris nightlife paintings of Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas and the early Picasso.
Organized into twinkling street scenes, situational encounters and mesmerizing portraits of the girls, the boys, the kathoeys (ladyboys) and their clients, Chris Coles shows us how the Bangkok night isn’t “only a sordid money-machine s ervicing the low-end of humanity”, but “an authentic and unique setting in the ongoing cultural history of mankind”.
Exhibition runs until 16 August 2009.
