Feature Sabang Regatta Party
SABANG ACYC
REGATTA PARTY AT
The Indonesian Ministry of Culture and Tourism chose the beachfront Ao Chalong
Yacht Club (ACYC) to host a party on 19 August, aimed at attracting participants
to the inaugural Sabang International Regatta, which was due for a send-off with
a Champagne breakfast at ACYC just as this issue of WINDOW went to print.
Invited by ACYC, an estimated 300 guests showed up to the
promotional party, with a very high proportion actively involved
in the yachting scene – the regattza organisers’ key target.
Guests wined and dined on fare prepared in the yacht club’s
kitchen and were treated to energetic Indonesian traditional
dance performances and live music on stage.

Sabang Regatta Party Feature
During a break in the entertainment, key members of the regatta
organising group presented detailed information about this new
yachting event and invited guests to pose questions. Then the
partying went on in earnest into the early hours of the morning.
“The yacht club is a perfect waterfront venue for a party; we’ve
got one of the best locations on Phuket,” said Commodore
Grenville Fordham, adding, “Anyone, member or non-member,
who is planning to hold a private party can contact me; we then
work together to put a plan and a price in place.”

Palm House
Primary School in Rawai
Palm House’s philosophy is simple: to provide intelligent and quality primary teaching in environmentally aware
and caring surroundings with an International curriculum that is both forward thinking and astute. Palm House is
located in Rawai, making it the ideal option for families living and working in the South West of the island.
Objectives About the School
We aim to ensure the quality of our education by: With the backdrop of the Andaman Sea and over an acre of grounds, Palm
House School aims to provide children with an idyllic, caring and modern

• Providing regular and honest student progress reports to parents of other IPC schools around the world in providing a stimulating and balanced
• Implementing clear communication lines between parents and teaching staff curriculum in a logical and thematic manner.
• Providing up to date information concerning relevant school matters
• Enriching the I.P.C with Thai culture and language studies daily
• Providing English as a Second Language (ESL) support where necessary
Facilities
• Providing a broad range of extra-curricular activities Palm House School provides purpose designed and built facilities in extensive

• Promoting healthy and safe living and life habits
International Primary Curriculum
The IPC focuses children’s learning on
a combination of knowledge, skills and
understanding. No one can properly predict
the nature of work and life opportunities
that will be available for today’s primary age
children by the time they are adults. Many
of the jobs they will have don’t yet exist;
especially in the fields of ICT, technology
and science. So the IPC focuses on a skills-
based approach, developing adaptable and
resilient globally-minded learners, prepared
for the fast-changing world that they’ll be
living and working in.

People Profile
David Roberts
David Roberts, CEO of Aedas International
(architects) in Hong Kong and partner in
DaVinci Ristorante Pizzeria in Nai Harn,
explains how la dolce vita (the good life) is all
in its design.
Where are you from? I was born in Wales, and then lived in Birmingham
until the age of 14. During the 'winter of discontent' in England, with
everyone on strike, my family moved to Tasmania, Australia. In 1988,
working as an architect in Melbourne, I was offered a job opportunity in
Hong Kong, where I remain.
When did you first come to Phuket and what made you decide to stay
on? I came to Phuket in 1992 to join the King's Cup sailing regatta with a
bunch of Hong Kong guys and fell in love with it. For me it was the fresh air
and natural beauty, not the nightlife. These days, I spend about one week a
month here.
You've recently built a villa in Phuket. What made you decide to build
a villa and live here part-time? I'd been visiting Phuket often over the
years and bought my first villa here in 2005. Five years ago I thought it was
time to put some roots down, and began building a three-bedroom villa
on one rai of land initially; we've since expanded the plot into four and
a quarter rai. The villa is complete with a cinema and games room, wine What do you like most about living in Phuket? The air quality is fantastic
