Kimono Many modern Japanese women lack the skill to put on a kimono unaided: the typical woman's kimono outfit consists of twelve or more separate pieces that are worn, matched and secured in prescribed ways, and the assistance of licensed professional kimono dressers may be required. Called upon mostly for special occasions, kimono dressers both work out of hair salons and make house calls.Choosing an appropriate type of kimono requires knowledge of the garment's symbolism and subtle social messages, reflecting the woman's age, marital status, and the level of formality of the occasion.

HonbokHanbok (South Korea) is the traditional Korean dress. It is often characterized by vibrant colors and simple lines without pockets. Although the term literally means "Korean clothing", hanbok today often refers specifically to hanbok of Joseon Dynasty and is worn as semi-formal or formal wear during traditional festivals and celebrations. Modern hanbok does not exactly follow the actual style as worn in Joseon dynasty since it went through some major changes during the 20th century for practical reasons.[1]Throughout history, Korea had a dual clothing tradition, in which rulers and aristocrats adopted different kinds of foreign styles, while the commoners continued to use a distinct style of indigenous clothing that today is known as Hanbok.[2][3]

Audit law bill faces delay

The House is expected to delay a debate due Wednesday on the draft organic law for the state audit agency, as coalition whips have yet to decide whether to back or veto the legislation."The coalition whips will not recommend a debate this week because of a lack of consensus on the draft," Democrat MP Thanitpol Jayanandana said Tuesday.The organic law, seen as a key way to resolve the row over the position of the auditor-general, has languished in the legislative quagmire in the wake of the 2007 general election. Last year the House of Representatives finally voted for its passage and the Senate subsequently gave its endorsement by a vote of 7050.However, the Senate vote fell short of a simple majority - 76 votes. This caused the draft to be sent back to the House for a decision either for a new vote to override the Senate or for the bill to be dropped.The Nation

Thaksin still healthy: Somchai

Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is healthy but does not want to be linked with political issues, his brother-in-law Somchai Wongsawat said Tuesday.
Somchai, also a former premier, said Thaksin made a phone call to greet him on Sunday. However, Thaksin was not somewhere near Thailand and he was healthy.
"Thaksin has no signs of illness. His voice is still clear and he is healthy. If he is really sick, the Shinawatra family has no reason to conceal that. If Thaksin has some sickness, it must be mentally as he misses his home and his kids. Although (Khunyong Pojaman Na Pombejra) is his ex-wife, he still misses her," Somchai said.The Nation

Wonderful!!!!! I think he don't sick too. I hope that he has still good healthy forever .

What do you do if you're arrested at Suvarnabhumi, Bangkok's main airport? In recent months there have been allegations that tourists have been arrested for shoplifting in duty-free stores, taken to a remote location and forced to pay for their freedom.
Of course, a police officer who arrests you must show identification. As discussed in earlier columns, it is illegal in Thailand to impersonate a police officer. According to a recent Supreme Court of Thailand decision, refusing to go with a police officer who will not identify him or herself does not constitute resisting arrest.

Under Section 79 of the Criminal Code of Thailand someone who is not a police officer may arrest another who has committed a crime in his or her presence. If someone who is not a police officer attempts to arrest you in the airport, though, you should immediately ask another person present to call the police and stay where you are until a uniformed police officer arrives.
You should be particularly careful in situations where the person arresting you appears to be in some uniform, but has no identifying information such as an airport ID, name tag, badge or other typical identification. Uniformed personnel such as customs officials or the military are only authorised to make arrests in connection with offences over which they have jurisdiction. For example, though a customs official could arrest you for smuggling, he or she would not be officially authorised to arrest you for shoplifting at a duty-free shop. Of course, these officials, as members of the public who have witnessed a crime, could arrest you under Section 79, but if this happens you should immediately request a real police presence.
We have been informed by officials at Suvarnabhumi airport that if you are to be arrested at the airport it will be by a uniformed policeman who will always give identification and will escort you to the police office on the second floor of the airport. Thus, if the person arresting you refuses to give identification or allow you to call or communicate with anyone, or tries to take you to some location outside of the airport, you are within your rights in refusing to go with them.
Before going anywhere with a police officer you should immediately make some phone calls. As discussed in earlier columns, you have a right to contact whomever you wish, as soon as you are arrested. For this reason you should always have a mobile phone with you. If you don't have one, you should request the use of the officer's mobile phone or a phone in the location where you are and call family, friends, your embassy, your lawyer, business associates _ anybody you can. You should give the people you contact information about the arresting officer, where you are and with what you've been accused.
If you are in police custody, you also have a right to have an interpreter and/or lawyer you appoint present and to have any charges explained to you. Any medical conditions you have must be attended to immediately.
