LIV Golf heavyweights gear up for back-to-back showdowns as The International Series swings into Thailand
Recent International Series England champion Peter Uihlein heads a strong LIV Golf contingent as The International Series makes two stops in Thailand for back-to-back tournaments on the Asian Tour calendar.
First up, the RangeGoats GC star will tee it up at the Black Mountain Championship from 17-20 October, joined by Kieran Vincent of Legion XIII, his older brother Scott Vincent from Iron Heads GC, and Jinichiro Kozuma.
The LIV Golf stars then head to Thai Country Club in Bangkok for International Series Thailand, from 24-27 October, where they will be joined by Fireballs GC youngster Eugenio Chacarra, the 2022 LIV Golf Bangkok champion and a winner on The International Series last year at the St Andrews Bay Championship.
Eugenio Chacarra pictured during International Series Morocco at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam (Red Course). Picture by Asian Tour. South African Branden Grace of Stinger GC, Danny Lee of Iron Heads GC and Sam Horsfield of Majesticks GC are the other LIV Golf stars joining the field for the second date in Thailand.
Rankings leader John Catlin, the International Series Macau presented by Wynn champion, is also in the field for both events alongside nearest challenger Ben Campbell, who beat the American in a play-off at International Series Morocco, as well as Wade Ormsby, last year’s International Series Thailand champion at Black Mountain Golf Club.
All three travelled with the LIV Golf League this season as alternates to cover for injury to the roster, and Catlin in particular caught the eye with a T7 at LIV Golf Nashville in June while representing Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers GC.
Uihlein is heading to Thailand in red-hot form, having claimed his maiden victory on both the Asian Tour and The International Series at Foxhills Club & Resort in Surrey, England. The American is eager to maintain that winning streak as he returns to Thailand for the first time since 2022, where he secured a top-20 finish at the LIV Golf Invitational Bangkok.
The former world amateur No.1 warned that the competition will be fierce as he said: “There’s plenty of talent, really good players, and I think they just haven’t really had as big a platform to showcase their skills.
“The International Series helps, knowing these guys and seeing the quality of their game go to a different level. The International Series is just going to continue to keep growing and getting better, and I think you’ll start seeing more talent be recognised.”
Aside from the race for the LIV Golf League spot, Uihlein believes The International Series plays an important role in player development as he added: “Playing a global schedule is beneficial long term. Being able to play different types of courses, different types of grass, different cultures, really enhances your ability to play quality golf around the world.
“The international scope that they have allows guys to do that and getting outside of Asia and going into Africa and Europe has been great for the Asian Tour and The International Series, and it’s only getting better and better.”
The International Series Rankings leader John Catlin pictured during International Series England at Foxhills Club & Resort (Longcross Course) in Surrey, England. Pictured by Asian Tour. The two events kick-off a six-tournament stretch over eight weeks, with the overall rankings champion ultimately claiming a spot on the LIV Golf League for the 2025 season, while a number of high-ranking players will also earn places on the season-ending LIV Golf Promotions event which last year yielded three additional spots on the roster.
Rahul Singh, Head of The International Series said: “With six events left on the calendar, we have two-thirds of the season’s rankings points and $US 15.5 million in prize purses still available. There is an opportunity for anyone to make a move, and we are delighted that this thrilling conclusion gets started with two tournaments in the heartlands of Asian golf.”

Discover the benefits of buying on a development and building new with Scott Beecham at Baan Phu Thara Mountainside in Hua Hin.
Scott’s guide explains how customising your villa can meet all your needs, from design flexibility to high-tech specs and personalised décor.
Learn why a new build could be the perfect fit for your lifestyle in Hua Hin.
- You can tick all the boxes:
When looking at re-sales it is very difficult to find the perfect property. Very important aspects such as location, design, specs and plot size can all be covered when a developer builds and customizes a new villa to your requirements.
2. Customising a design to suit your needs:
Most developers will allow varying levels of flexibility when it comes to the all important floor plan. Of course this can vary as not everybody has the same requirements. Some significant questions that need to be considered are: What plot size do I need?
How many bedrooms do I need? Do I need a guest house / external office? How big should the swimming pool be and is a jacuzzi a must?
What is the optimal kitchen plan?: L-shape, U shape, an island with a breakfast bar? Do I need a double carport? Do we need an outside kitchen so the house is not overwhelmed by the smell of cooking chillies?
3. What specs are important to you?
The quality of construction in Hua Hin has improved considerably over the past 10 years and many developers can offer some great specs and high-tech options. Here are some helpful questions you should be considering: Is the electrical system overground or underground? What are the various insulation aspects of the properties? (it’s all important to keep the heat out and the cold in). Are solar panels and a solar battery included? (how will this affect our bills?) What are the ‘Smart’ aspects of the property? (it is 2024 after all).
How effective are the double-glazed doors and windows? What can we expect with regards to pest control? What is included in the price? Fans, bathroom fittings, gutters, EV car charger, high pressure water pump, Eco pool pump, window and door screens, underground pest control? It is worth studying the spec list carefully because these specs can make a real difference once you are actually living in the house.
4. You can decorate the villa to your tastes:
Of course everybody has different tastes and with most developments you’ll be given budgets for tiles, loose furniture, kitchen, fitted furniture and curtains and blinds. This is the fun part (and should be seen that way) as this is where you really get to add your own personal touches to the villa.
All of the aspects mentioned above have a bearing on the overall look and feel of the property.
For example, does your kitchen splashback match well with the tiles and the curtains? Should the same floor tile be used in the bathrooms and the living areas? How well does the contrast of the kitchen work with the tiles and the furniture? Should the fitted furniture match with the interior doors and laminate?
One thing that is also worth considering here is planning for the future. You never know what is going to happen and your personal circumstances could change so it’s advisable not to be too elaborate as you may want to sell the property in the future. If you have a purple kitchen you’ll need to find a buyer who likes purple kitchens.
5. Flexibility with a timeframe:
A development such as ours here at Mountainside will be flexible on a timeline. You may have plans to retire in a couple of years or you’d like an extended build time / payment plan to suit your particular circumstances. Securing a plot early means you get the ideal plot and you avoid any price rises.

Authorities are urging local residents to be cautious after reports emerged of individuals posing as water authority officials and attempting to collect water bill payments at people’s homes.
In a statement posted on the Hua Hin Municipality’s Facebook page on 9th October, residents were reminded that there are only two authorised methods to pay water bills. Payments should either be made in person at Hua Hin Municipality, located on the first floor in front of the civil registration and ID card office, or at the Water Authority Office, also within the municipality.
Officials also clarified that all official water meter reading officers are male, adding that residents should be vigilant and not fall victim to impostors.
Residents who encounter suspicious activity or have concerns are encouraged to contact the Hua Hin Water Authority at 0 3251 1677 or 0 3251 1667.
The warning comes as part of ongoing efforts to protect residents from scams and ensure that water payments are made securely through the correct channels.

14 October 14 2024Hua Hin Newshttps://www.huahintoday.com/?p=69279 - Rare young elephant with unusually long tusks spotted at Kaeng Krachan National Park
Rangers at Kaeng Krachan National Park have discovered a rare five-year-old wild elephant calf with tusks measuring an extraordinary 60 centimetres—almost five times longer than the typical tusks of an elephant of the same age.

Rangers at Kaeng Krachan National Park have discovered a rare five-year-old wild elephant calf with tusks measuring an extraordinary 60 centimetres—almost five times longer than the typical tusks of an elephant of the same age. The discovery was made on 10th October 2024 by the park’s elephant monitoring unit in Huai Sat Yai subdistrict, Prachuap Khiri Khan province.
The footage, captured by surveillance cameras, showed a herd of wild elephants foraging in the area, including the calf with its remarkable tusks. Normally, tusks of five-year-old elephant calves are between 10 and 15 centimetres long. This calf’s impressive tusk growth has stirred interest among wildlife experts and park officials alike.
Rapid tusk growth attributed to mineral-rich diet
Dr. Patarapol Manee-on, head of the Wild Animal Health Management Group, explained that the calf’s rapid tusk growth could be linked to its diet. Mineral-rich salt licks, scientifically formulated and spread throughout Kaeng Krachan National Park, have contributed to the calf’s strong tusks. These salt licks are enriched with essential minerals such as dicalcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite, substances known to strengthen tusks.
“This calf’s tusks, standing out for their length and slender shape, are a clear indication of the benefits of the mineral licks in the park,” said Dr. Patarapol. The specific type of tusks, known locally as “rattan tusks” or ngaa khruea, is a distinctive feature of wild elephants in Kaeng Krachan and Kui Buri National Parks.
Salt licks help reduce human-elephant conflicts
Kaeng Krachan National Park and neighbouring Kui Buri National Park have been using these enhanced mineral licks for the past two to three years. This practice not only benefits tusk growth but also provides advantages in daily elephant activities, such as digging, foraging, and pulling down vines. It also helps keep elephants from wandering out of the forest in search of salty food items, such as shrimp paste or fermented fish, from nearby communities.
By providing abundant food and mineral sources, the park hopes to reduce human-elephant conflicts, a growing challenge as local communities expand into areas surrounding the park.
Protecting a vital habitat
Kaeng Krachan National Park is home to one of Thailand’s largest wild elephant populations, estimated at 300-350 elephants. The park’s food and water sources make it a critical habitat for these animals. However, managing this habitat and balancing the needs of the elephants with the interests of local communities remains a challenge.
For now, the herd, including the calf with its unusually long tusks, remains within the park, and rangers continue to monitor the situation closely to ensure that both the elephants and surrounding communities are safe.

On 12 October 2024, Yaowapha Buraphonchai, President of the Thai Olympic Athletes Association, executive of The Legend Arena, and Olympic bronze medalist in taekwondo (Athens 2004), teamed up with Bluport Hua Hin to host the third annual Bluport x Legend Taekwondo Championships.

On 12 October 2024, Yaowapha Buraphonchai, President of the Thai Olympic Athletes Association, executive of The Legend Arena, and Olympic bronze medalist in taekwondo (Athens 2004), teamed up with Bluport Hua Hin to host the third annual Bluport x Legend Taekwondo Championships.
The event was held at Bluport Hall, located on the first floor of Bluport Hua Hin Shopping Mall—a newly established sports venue in Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, featuring an exhibition and event space covering over 2,000 square meters.
A total of 34 clubs from across Thailand took part, with 530 athletes competing in three categories: Kyorugi (sparring), Poomsae (patterns), and Speed Kicks and Speed Punches (fast kicking and punching). The atmosphere was electric, with over 1,000 spectators and supporters travelling from various regions to cheer on their athletes.
The opening ceremony was presided over by Mr Suwat Liptapanlop, former Deputy Prime Minister, alongside Hua Hin District Chief Pholkrit Puangwalaisin, Hua Hin Red Cross President Usa Puangwalaisin, Hua Hin Deputy Mayor Atichat Chaisri, Prachuap SME Federation President Dr. Phornrawee Silaengsawat, Vana Nava Water Jungle Sales Director Mujarin Namkhampa, Bluport Hua Hin Managing Director Chokchai Wongchakrapat, Holiday Inn Vana Nava Hua Hin General Manager Thomas Hen, and InterContinental Hua Hin Resort General Manager Sabriena Hofstetter.
During the ceremony, Mr Suwat praised the event, organised by Bluport Hua Hin in collaboration with The Legend Arena under Yaowapha’s leadership. He highlighted the importance of this competition in nurturing Thailand’s young taekwondo athletes. Recalling the nation’s pride when Panipak “Tennis” Wongpattanakit won a gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Mr Suwat emphasised the need to cultivate future champions following Tennis’ recent retirement. He noted that finding her successor for future Olympic Games will require sustained effort.
“Yaowapha’s work in establishing a solid foundation for taekwondo—starting with youth competitions—is essential for the development of future athletes. The journey begins as young as five or six years old, and we are deeply grateful to both Yaowapha and Tennis for inspiring Thailand’s next generation to dream of Olympic success. We must also thank the parents and guardians for their sacrifices, supporting their children’s education and sporting pursuits, and helping shape the future of Thai national athletes,” Suwat remarked. He also noted how holding the event in Hua Hin, one of Thailand’s premier tourist destinations, boosts the local economy, as it attracts over 500 visitors who spend on accommodation, dining, and shopping, thereby further promoting Hua Hin as a hub for sports tourism.
Yaowapha expressed her joy at witnessing young athletes competing and learning through sport. She believes every child should participate in some form of sport to learn discipline, sportsmanship, and resilience—qualities crucial for both physical and mental development. Taekwondo, in particular, fosters these traits, making it ideal for young people. Her own children—Windy (12), Ray (10), Water (7), and Clay (4)—participated in the tournament, experiencing both victories and defeats. However, Yaowapha stressed that the most important outcome for them was gaining valuable life experience.
Reflecting on taekwondo’s growth in Thailand, Yaowapha noted that the sport has developed significantly, with an ever-increasing number of athletes. However, she stressed the importance of continuing to nurture the next generation, ensuring they can succeed on the international stage. She hopes that competitions like this will contribute to the development of future national team members. Yaowapha also extended her gratitude to the event’s main sponsors, Vana Nava Water Jungle and Bluport Hua Hin, who provided free waterpark entry for the competing athletes and supported the event by hosting it at Bluport Hall.
The results of the Bluport x Legend Taekwondo Championships 2024 were as follows:
- Kyorugi (sparring): 1st place – Tiger Thai Family, Ratchaburi; 2nd place – Phuket Taekwondo Club, Phuket; 3rd place – CC Taekwondo, Prachuap Khiri Khan.
- Poomsae (patterns): 1st place – Hua Hin Taekwondo, Prachuap Khiri Khan.

Hua Hin marked the 8th anniversary of the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej The Great on Nawamintharathirat Day, with a special event held in front of Klai Kangwon Palace to honour his life and legacy.
At 5 p.m. on 13 October 2024, Polkrit Puangwalaisin, District Chief of Hua Hin, alongside Mayor Nopporn Wuttikul, led a delegation of municipal executives, government officials, and local community members in the “Walk with Heart to Father’s Home” event.
The participants, dressed in yellow shirts symbolising their respect, carried a portrait of the late monarch from Phon Kingphet Park to Klai Kangwon Palace, a distance of approximately 1.5 kilometres. The walk, which drew nearly 1,000 citizens, was a tribute to King Bhumibol’s enduring legacy and benevolence.
At 6 p.m., a ceremony took place in front of the palace, with the District Chief presiding. Attendees, including representatives from government agencies and the private sector, gathered to express their gratitude for the late King’s contributions to the country.
A traditional dance performance followed, featuring over 100 volunteer dancers of all ages. Dressed in traditional yellow Thai attire, they performed to the song “Natleela Duenphan Tee Yingyai Nom Duangjai Thawai Pho,” demonstrating grace and precision. Participants then lit candles, observed 89 seconds of silence, and sang the songs “Father’s Tree” and “Our Love for Father Will Never Be Enough” in a moving tribute to the late monarch.
King Bhumibol reigned for over 70 years and initiated more than 4,700 royal projects aimed at improving the lives of the Thai people. His philosophy of a sufficiency economy continues to inspire sustainable living in Thailand and beyond.

Hua Hin Police have taken swift action after a social media post detailing reckless driving in the area gained widespread attention among Thai netizens. The incident, which involved two pickup trucks, was highlighted on the Facebook page “Pharapath Dokrak,” sparking public concern.
The original post described how two small trucks overtook and cut in front of the poster’s vehicle while travelling on the southern bypass road from Khao Thang to Nong Khon in the Hin Lek Fai subdistrict. According to the account, after the poster flashed their headlights as a warning, the situation escalated, with the trucks repeatedly swerving, cutting in front and behind the poster’s vehicle, and stopping suddenly in a manner that posed a serious risk. Despite the poster’s efforts to distance themselves, the trucks continued to dangerously block their path.
Following the online outcry, officers from Hua Hin Provincial Police Station launched an investigation into the incident. They identified the two vehicles in question, registered under the license plates SOR 7551 and SOR 3871, both from Bangkok. The police determined that the incident occurred on the bypass road in Prachuap Khiri Khan province.
Police Lieutenant Colonel Saksit Khaikaew, Deputy Superintendent (Investigation) at Hua Hin Provincial Police Station, confirmed that the drivers involved were Mr. Jakkarin and Mr. Songkran. Both individuals were summoned to the police station on Tuesday, 8th October 2024, to face questioning. During the inquiry, the drivers admitted to their reckless behaviour and apologised to the other motorist involved in the incident.
