		<description><![CDATA[Thailand and Malaysia have started discussions to open a new international border crossing between the southern Thai province of Satun and Kuala Perlis in northern Malaysia. In a two hour meeting between Satun acting Governor Nueachai Jirahapirak and representatives from Perlis, both parties agreed to revive a plan to develop Bukit Batu Puteh near Kuala Perlis as a new border point connecting the two countries. The plan was first made in 1996 but has been delayed due to technical problems, according to Bernama News Agency. Khun Nueachai said said a detailed study was being carried out on the proposal to build a tunnel as suggested by the Satun administration. &#34;The study to build a tunnel at a cost of 35 million bahts started in April last year and will be completed next April. We know that the people of Satun are looking forward to a gateway,&#34; he said. The distance between the Kuala Perlis-Changlun highway and Bukit Batu Puteh is only five kilometers.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Satun and the northern Malaysian state of Kedah&#160; has&#160; agreed to collaborate in tourism programs to attract more tourists to this part of the region. Kedah Tourism, Domestic Trade, Consumer Affairs, Indian Community and Estate Workers Committee chairman M. Manikumar said the collaboration was meant for designing, transforming and revolutionizing the entire tourism industry towards a new paradigm. &#34;We hope the existence of a new platform, namely the Kedah-Satun Joint Cooperation Committee, since early this year to organize various tourism programs could bring in more tourists to Langkawi Island and the main land of Kedah through the Satun-Langkawi gateway.&#34; Manikar was speaking at the launching of the Satun-Langkawi Paramotor Challenge 2010. There are 22 participants from Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore in the Satun-Langkawi Paramotor Challenge 2010 which started today in Satun. Among the exciting events involving the participants are the Paramotor Show, Flour Bombing Competition, Sport Landing Competition and Flying Show before flying in their paramotor over a distance of 15 kilometers. Manikumar said the event was initiated through the Kedah-Satun Joint Cooperation Committee. He added that the state government would consider making the Satun-Langkawi Paramotor Challenge an annual event to boost tourism in Kedah. Source: Bernama]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[23 pilots participated in this weekends Satun-Langkawi Paramotor Challenge. The organizers hope to welcome more international participants next year from Europa, South Africa and East Asia. The organizing committee technical chairman, Basir Abdul Rahman, who also led the Malaysian team for the challenge, said next year&#8217;s event might start from Langkawi covering the same distance of 58 kilometers. The Satun-Langkawi Paramotor Challenge 2010 was organized with the intention of promoting Langkawi as a leading destination for air sports in the region. The route took the pilots from Satun in Southern Thailand to the island of Langkawi in Malaysia along the Andaman coastline. Nine Malaysian pilots who participated in the challenge, involving a distance of 58km, landed safely at the compound of Pekan Rabu Complex in Kuah. Three pilots from Thailand, who left Satun Airport at 8.30 am (Thailand time) with the Malaysian team, could not complete the challenge and had landed in the sea, about 30 minutes after takeoff. They were rescued by a search and rescue team. Former Malaysian prime minister urged those aged 15 and above to take the opportunity to become a pilot by participating in the paramotor sports to familiarize themselves with the aviation industry. &#34;It [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thailand has approved an Bt18 million budget to set up Andaman sea rescue centers in a bid to restore confidence among tourists and the image of tourism in its Andaman coastal provinces. The budget will be allocated to Thailand’s five Andaman Sea coastal provinces of Phuket, Krabi, Phangnga, Ranong, and Trang. Phuket Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Centre chief Udomporn Karn however said the sea rescue centers will initially be set up in the major tourist destinations of Phuket, Krabi and Phang Nga. The budget will also be spent to provide emergency aid kits for sea rescue within five kilometers radius and three speed boats, said Mr Udomporn. Mr Udomporn said that recruiting and training appropriate rescue operations workers will be organised for volunteers, as well as for local fishermen as they usually are the first group of emergency respondents who reach an accident scene. The disaster response director expressed hope that establishing Andaman sea rescue centres will help restore confidence among visitors in handling natural disasters and accidents at sea as well as rebuilding the image of tourism in the Andaman coastal provinces.
