"Nothing quite so unusual as people", is how the old Yorkshire

"I am pleased to have the opportunity to introduce myself to residents
and visitors following my appointment here in late October this year.
Prior to that I was the Governor of Chachoengsao Province and in all
my previous roles I took an active interest in sports, hosting the 27th
National Games and the football and basketball matches of the 13th Asian
Games. Now my office here is only a few hundred metres from our excellent
700 Year Stadium, built for the most successful South East Asian Games,
and one of the most modern facilities of its kind in Thailand. There are
many other facets of this unique Province of which we can be proud. We
are surrounded by natural beauty, accessible only a very short drive outside
the city and one of the many powerful attractions for tourism, so vital
to the economy of the north. This area offers an enormous variety of activities,
ranging from trekking to cooking, elephant riding to rafting."
