The Tourism Authority ofThailand (TAT) is tackling

a growing scandal surroundinga series of video clips they saydamaged the country’s tourist-friendly image.

Chairman of TAT’s boardWeerasak Kowsurat says a for-eign video-production companyhired locals to shoot eight shorttravel shows in Phuket, Samui,Pattaya, Chiang Mai and otherpopular destinations.

‘Sleazy and run-down’Most featured information on

how to get places and the sights

to see, but the TAT thinks theshows threaten tourism by por-traying a sleazy and run-downimage of destinations.

Some of the clips have alreadygone out on cable in London andother European cities.

Weerasak has asked threeagencies to tackle the problem,with the Sport Ministry’s Officeof Tourism Development com-missioned to find out whetherthe production company hadshooting rights and if they brokeany laws in filming. Meanwhile,the Tourism Council ofThailand has been asked to urgetour operators at all majortourist destinations to improve

their quality of service to avoidsimilar incidents. The ForeignMinistry will provide clarifica-tion about issues brought up bythe clips to the public in coun-tries where the clips are beingshown.

In a related development,Phuket Jet Ski OperatorAssociation chairman AnusornSaleh said all operators wouldmeet tomorrow to discuss howbest to improve their service af-ter a spate of complaints fromcustomers.

Asked whether he thought theadverse publicity from the travelshows had hurt his business,Anusorn said, “We haven’t seenmuch negative impact yet. Butit’s low season, so there are fewtourists around anyway”.

Bangkok Police searched adormitory in Bang Khen dis-trict yesterday after studenttenants complained to thePaveena HongsakulFoundation that the landlordhad violated their rights byinstalling security camerasin their rented rooms andtoilets.

Arriving at the four-storeycommercial building-cum-dormitory located in SoiPaholyothin 53, policesearched room 119 on theground floor and discoveredcameras installed in the bed-room’s electricity box and inthe toilet’s ceiling, with ca-bles linked to the front of-fice.

AV cables everywhereWhile photographing

their finds as evidence, po-lice noticed AV cables run-ning to other parts of thebuilding, provoking suspi-cions that cameras were in-stalled in other rooms.

With no evidence that ac-tual recording of footagewas taking place, police ini-tially aimed to make an ar-rest for illegally breaking in-to a residence. But chargesare pending further investi-gation and a detailed inter-rogation of the landlord.

A source reported that thesecurity cameras looked likethey had been installed for along time.

A P , LOS ANGELES

Patrick Swayze personified aparticular kind of mascu-

line grace both on and offscreen, from his roles in filmslike “Dirty Dancing” and“Ghost” to the way he carriedhimself in his long fight withpancreatic cancer.

Swayze died from the illnesson Monday in Los Angeles, hispublicist said. He was 57.

“Patrick Swayze passed awaypeacefully today with family athis side after facing the chal-lenges of his illness for the last20 months,” Annett Wolf saidin a statement on Mondayevening.

When the actor first wentpublic with the illness, somereports gave him only weeks tolive, but his doctor said his sit-uation was “considerably moreoptimistic”.

“I want to last until they finda cure, which means I’d better

get a fire under it,” saidSwayze.

Battle with cancerAnd that’s exactly what he

did. In the September 2008 livetelevision event “Stand Up toCancer”, he pleaded: “I keepdreaming of a future, a futurewith a long and healthy life, alife not lived in the shadow ofcancer, but in the light. ... Idream that the word ‘cure’ willno longer be followed by thewords ‘is impossible’.”

Celebrities and fans inspiredby Swayze’s struggle pouredout their condolences.

Demi Moore, who playedSwayze’s fiancee in “Ghost”,wrote: “Patrick you are lovedby so many and your light willforever shine in all of ourlives.”

A three-time Golden Globenominee, Swayze became a starwith his performance as the

misunderstood bad boy JohnnyCastle in “Dirty Dancing.”

Masculine image He went on to earn three

Golden Globe nominations, for“Dirty Dancing,” “Ghost” and1995’s “To Wong Foo, Thanksfor Everything! Julie Newmar”,which allowed him to toy withhis masculine image. The rolecalled for him to play a dragqueen on a cross-country roadtrip alongside Wesley Snipesand John Leguizamo.

‘Sexiest Man Alive’In the ’90s, he made such

eclectic films as “Point Break”(1991) in which he played theleader of a band of bank-rob-bing surfers, and the familyWestern “Tall Tale” (1995) inwhich he starred as Pecos Bill.He appeared on the cover ofPeople magazine as its “SexiestMan Alive” in 1991. In 2001, he

appeared in the cult film“Donnie Darko”, and in 2003 hereturned to the New York stagewith “Chicago”; 2006 foundhim in the musical “Guys andDolls” in London.

Swayze had been marriedsince 1975 to Niemi, a fellowdancer who took lessons withhis mother; they met when hewas 19 and she was 15.

Fear stalks Yale as slain student’sbody found stuffed in lab basement

Kanye West says sorry forruining Taylor Swift’s night

A P , LOS ANGELES

Kanye West used Jay Leno’sprime-time television debut

on Monday to offer another apolo-gy for ruining Taylor Swift’s nightat the MTV Video Music Awardsand to say he’s going to take sometime off for reflection.

West said he knew he was wrongthe moment he handed the micro-phone back to Swift, when he wasbathed in boos. He had interruptedSwift on Sunday night as she ac-cepted a best female video awardfor “You Belong With Me,” arguingthat Beyonce’s “Single Ladies (Puta Ring on It)” was more deserving.

“It was rude, period,” West said.He posted a second apology toSwift on his blog on Monday, andtold Leno he wanted to apologiseto the country music star in per-son.

“So many celebrities, they nevertake the time off,” he said. “I’venever taken the time off to really –you know, just music after musicand tour after tour. I’m justashamed that my hurt causedsomeone else’s hurt … But I needto, after this, take some time offand just analyse how I’m going tomake it through the rest of thislife, how I’m going to improve.”

A P , NEW HAVEN, Connecticut

Clues increasingly pointedto an inside job Monday in

the slaying of a Yale graduatestudent whose body was foundstuffed inside a wall five daysafter she vanished from a heav-ily secured lab building accessi-ble only to university employ-ees.

Police on Monday sought tocalm fears on the Ivy Leaguecampus, saying the death of24-year-old Annie Le was atargeted act but would not saywhy anyone would want tokill the young woman justdays before she was to bemarried.

“We’re not believing it’s arandom act,” said officer JoeAvery, a police spokesman. Noone else is in danger, he said,though he would not providedetails other than to say that

police believe no other students were involved.

‘Could happen to anyone’“I’m not walking at nights by

myself anymore,” said studentNatoya Peart, 21, of Jamaica. “Itcould happen to anyone, any-time, anywhere.”

Police found Le’s body about5pm on Sunday, the day she wasto marry Columbia Universitygraduate student JonathanWidawsky, lovingly referred toon her Facebook page as “mybest friend”. The couple met asundergraduates at theUniversity of Rochester andwere eagerly awaiting theirplanned wedding on LongIsland.

Police have said Widawskyis not a suspect and helped de-tectives in their investigation.

The body was found in the

basement in the wall chase – adeep recess where utilities andcables run between floors. Thebasement houses rodents,mostly mice, used for scientif-ic testing by multiple Yale re-searchers, said Robert Alpern,dean of the Yale UniversitySchool of Medicine.

Le was part of a researchteam headed by her faculty ad-viser, Anton Bennett.

Captured on CCTV Campus officials have said

that the security networkrecorded Le entering thebuilding by swiping her ID

card about 10am Tuesday. Shewas never seen leaving.

The death is the first killingat Yale since the unsolvedDecember 1998 death of Yalestudent Suzanne Jovin. Thepopular 21-year-old seniorwas stabbed 17 times aboutfive kilometres from campus.

Police suspect killing was an insidejob; victim was to be wed on Sunday

IT WAS RUDE, PERIOD.I’M JUST ASHAMED THATMY HURT CAUSED SOMEONE ELSE’S HURT.

Jamaican artists Inner Circleand Diana King plus Califor-

nia’s Big Mountain will easetheir way into Thailand nextmonth for the inaugural ChangWorld Reggae fest on the beachat Bang Saen.

“It’s the first time Thai fanswill get up close and personalwith these international artists,”says hip-hop singer Joey Boy,who presented the concept forthe festival to sponsorsThaiBev. “Usually, there are just

one or two reggae artists per-forming at a concert. This time,we have three big-name actsalong with local stars.”

“Reggae is stirring musicthat’s ideal for people who liketo dance. The lyrics talk aboutlove and peace,” says co-pre-senter Thai ska queen ZomAmara.

The Jamaican band InnerCircle goes back to the roots ofreggae, forming in 1968.They’re best known for the1987 song “Bad Boys”, used as

the theme forthe US reality-television se-ries “Cops”.

King isamong a newercrop of reggaeartists. She’shad suchcrossover hitson the US R&Bcharts as “ShyGuy” and the

Bob Marley cover “Stir It Up”.Big Mountain, a California

band, had a hit in 1994 with acover of Peter Frampton’s“Baby, I Love Your Way”.

Organised by Dhosapaak, thefestival has the foreign acts be-ing spelled by such local artistsas T-Bone, Buddha Bless, theTeddy Ska Band and JobBanchob as well as Zom andJoey Boy.

The event aims to promoteThailand’s reputation as a hubfor reggae and ska in Asia andorganisers anticipate that it willbecome an annual event.

The elaborate outfit made forMC Chatrichalerm Yukol’s filmseries on King Naresuan theGreat, for the Burmese rulerNatabureng to wear, really issomething.

The Bt1-million costume,nearly a year in the making,was a recent guest on theChannel 9 show “Ta Sawang”,where one of the hosts spokefor all the fans: “No wonderThan Mui is taking so long tofinish the movie trilogy!”

Alone worth a trip to thePrommitr studio inKanchanaburi, where it’s ondisplay amid other film props,the costume would have takentwo artisans two years to cre-ate for actor Jakrit “Ton”Ammarat.

Artist, songwriter andproducer Bun

Suwannochin has long beenfascinated by the vintagesounds of old Thaiclassics. And itseems he’s notthe only one.His latest ef-fort, “LookThung Hi Fi”,has comeabout as a re-sult of his un-

expected suc-cess with“RakYuk Hi Tech”, anupbeat version of “TonChabub Siang Waan” by1960s singing sensationSweetnuch.

“It’s a by-product ofSweetnuch’s unexpectedly

successful album and a songthat’s topped the charts ofradio stations that spintunes for teens andyoung people,” he says.“Today, teenagers havebecome fans of the 67-year-old singer, justlike my mother-in-lawand her friends.”

The successful album

was Bun’s starting point.He took the sound of lookkrung (Thai popular music),added the veteran singer’svocal style and then threwin up-to-date content to sat-isfy the new generation plus

plenty of look thung(Thai country

folk).“With this

new album,I felt a littleuneasyabout dis-tributing

and promot-ing it on the

look thung-ori-ented radio stations

because it’s more retro lookthung, with a big-bandsound that dates back some20 years

rather than blending stringsand songs-for-life like to-day’s artists,” Bun says.

“Siang Khruan KhongNoom Thai” (“A Moan ofThai Boy”) is the first cutand it’s already very popularwith its biting satire onKorean-crazy people. Oneline warning girls againstbecoming fascinated withKorean boy has causedmuch discussion – and dis-satisfaction – in Internetchatrooms.

“Why are you blamingpeople for being crazy aboutKorean boys?” asks oneposter at Pantip.com.

“Korea is in our minds butThailand is in our veins,”reads another at Siamzone.com.

“I think that most of thosewho post messages on the

Net are in their teens,”says Bun. “The song

just reflects myviews on society to-day.”

Bun adds that,in his view, thecharm of retrolook thung is “thelive recordingthat’s hardly ever

heard these days.”

AP, Putrajaya, Malaysia

Lotus are returning toFormula One racing.

FIA, the sport’s governingbody, yesterday awarded Lotusthe 13th spot on the grid for the2010 season. Lotus have beenout of F1 since 1994. The team,initially based in Norfolk,England near the Lotus car fac-tory, is funded by a partnershipbetween the Malaysian govern-ment and a consortium ofMalaysian businessmen.

The team headquarters is ex-pected to relocate to a purpose-built facility at SepangInternational Circuit, home ofthe Malaysian F1 Grand Prix forthe last 11 years.

FIA turned down an applica-tion from BMW Sauber, but saidthe team would be granted aspot in 2010 if a vacancy arises.FIA said it is consulting urgentlywith teams about a possible ex-pansion to 14 teams and 28 carsfor 2010.

Lotus’ team principal will be

Tony Fernandes, owner of theAir Asia airline. The team tech-nical director is Mike Gascoyne,who held the same role withForce India, Toyota, Renault andJordan.

Lotus has reached an enginesupply deal with Cosworth.

Malaysian Prime MinisterNajib Razak held a news confer-ence yesterday to outline detailsof what was called the 1MalaysiaF1 team. “The 1Malaysia F1 teamis a government and private sec-tor initiative combining the col-laborative experience of Protonand Lotus, coupled with worldclass expertise,” a Malaysiangovernment statement saidahead of the news conference.

Najib said the team would in-tegrate Malaysian technical andpit crew, with the future design,research and development,manufacturing and testing con-ducted near the Malaysian capi-tal. The driving line-up is set tobe announced by October 31from a short list of six candi-dates.

Najib refused to give invest-ment costs or other details, butsaid the future design and test-ing would be conducted in

Malaysia, but declined to giveinvestment costs.

He said the venture would bea big boost to local automakerProton, a government-ownedcompany which has suffered inrecent years because of in-creased competition from for-eign car makers after the liberal-isation of the auto market.

“If we want to export Protonwe need to establish our brandname so that it is accepted glob-ally,” Najib said. “We are deter-mined to do our best to makeour mark in this arena.”

The investors in the ventureare Proton, budget airlineAirAsia and Naza Motors, a lo-cal auto group.

Najib said the creation of theteam is a “natural progression”since Malaysia has hosted a legof the F1 race since 1999 and na-tional oil company Petronas hasbeen a sponsor of BMW Sauberteam for the last four years.

Defending championsBarcelona travel to Inter

Milan in today’s stand-outChampions League fixture,with Barca’s Zlatan Ibrahimovicset for a swift reunion with theclub he left in the summer.

The Swedish striker’s switchto the Nou Camp was one of thesensations of the close-seasontransfer window, after Barcapaid an eye-watering ¤46 mil-lion to secure his signature andthrew Cameroonian forwardSamuel Eto’o into the bargain aswell.

Both men have madegoalscoring starts to life at theirnew clubs but Ibrahimovic pro-voked the ire of his former em-ployers by suggesting that hewas the main reason for thethree Serie A crowns they wonduring his time at the San Siro.

Inter’s Ghanaian midfielderSulley Muntari was quick to re-mind his former team-mate thatthere was more to Inter’s titlesuccesses than Ibrahimovic’sgoals. “Ibra says Barcelona arestronger than Inter, but I thinkwe are stronger than they are,”said Muntari.

“Why? Because I play forInter. One of those players whoran for Ibrahimovic, the manwho thinks he won it all by him-self.”

Ibrahimovic, though, says hewill not be perturbed by the re-action of the crowd – or his ex-colleagues – when he returns tohis old stomping ground.

“I’m not interested in how thecrowd reacts, it is not impor-tant,” said the former Juventus

and Ajax man. “It will be an en-joyable game, also because ofthe atmosphere that will be cre-ated. I had a good relationshipwith my team-mates and I’llgreet them with pleasure. I havenothing against them. After all,you don’t easily forget threeScudetti in three years.”

With Barca and Inter set tofight it out for superiority inGroup F, the pressure will be onDynamo Kiev and RussianChampions League debutantsRubin Kazan to get off to a goodstart when they meet in theUkrainian capital.

Another club making theirChampions League group-stagebow on Wednesday will beHungarian championsDebrecen, who face a baptism

of fire at five-time winnersLiverpool.

The Merseysiders have en-dured a stuttering start to theirPremier League campaign, los-ing two of their opening five

matches, and manager RafaelBenitez says they must hit theground running in Europe.

“We lost our first game a cou-ple of seasons ago – that causedus a lot of problems,” said theSpaniard. “We must be in con-trol of the group straight away.”

Lyon and Fiorentina will pro-vide a strong challenge toBenitez’s side in Group E.

The Tuscan outfit travel toFrance today and will be look-ing to avenge a 2-1 home defeatto Lyon in November 2008 thatknocked them out of last sea-son’s competition.

Lyon themselves were elimi-nated at the quarter-finals byBarcelona but coach ClaudePuel feels they’re well-placed toimprove on that showing.

AFP, New York

Losing his US Open title and41-match winning streak

was a huge blow, but RogerFederer says he will spend notime in brooding over it.

The Swiss star was finallybeaten at Flushing Meadows forthe first time in six years, goingdown 3-6 7-6 (7/5) 4-6 7-6 (7/4) 6-2 to an inspired Juan Martin delPotro.

The player who is widelyviewed as the greatest player ofall time was clearly in low spir-its at his post-match press con-ference, but he said he had morereasons to be happy than sad.

“This one I think is easy toget over just because I’ve hadthe most amazing summer,” hesaid.

“I tried everything, you know.Didn’t work. I missed chances.He played well and in the end itwas a tough fifth set. It’s accept-able. But life goes on. No prob-lem.”

Federer’s comments reflectedhis magnificent run through thesummer, during which he final-ly completed his career GrandSlam at the French Open andthen took the all-time lead inGrand Slam titles to 15 with hiswin at Wimbledon.

More joy came in late Julywhen Federer and wife Mirkacelebrated the start of a familywith the birth of twin girls.

“Unbelievable. Unbelievablerun. Being in all major finalsand winning two of those, andlosing the other two in five sets.

“Sure, I would have loved towin those two as well. Being soclose, I think I was two pointsaway from the match today.

“That’s the way it goes some-times.

“But the year has been amaz-ing already and it’s not over yet.Got married and had kids, don’tknow how much more I want.”

Still, the manner of Federer’sdefeat came as a surprise as, incontrast to the French Openwhere he struggled all the way,the Swiss star had looked impe-rious throughout the fortnight.

The wins in Paris and Londonappeared to have lifted a weightoff his shoulders and he wasonce again playing with the flairand panache that marked hisgame in 2006 and 2007, when hewon three out of the four GrandSlam titles in each year.

What changed between hisimpressive semi-final demoli-

tion of Novak Djokovic and hisloss to Juan Martin del Potro, aplayer seven years his junior,was hard to decipher forFederer.

He said that his new responsi-bilities as a father and the travelcomplications of moving themand his wife over fromSwizerland to North Americafor the hardcourt season hadnot posed a problem.

Neither had Del Potro’s playbeen that different from previ-ous meetings between the twoalthough Federer did concedethat the Argentinian was “rocksolid”.

But he did admit that he hadfinished the tournament andthe year’s last Grand Slam indire need of a good rest.

Brady returns win a fine win

Serenaapologisesfor outburstSerena Williams apologisedon Monday for the abusiveand threatening tirade shelaunched at a line judge in asemi-final loss to eventualchampion Kim Clijsters at theUS Open.

But the 11-time GrandSlam champion’s actions,which have already broughtfines of US$10,500, remainunder investigation by theGrand Slam Committee andcould result in greater fines orsuspension from future GrandSlam events.

“I really wanted to apolo-gise sincerely,” Williams said.“I think the lady was doingthe best she could. She wasjust trying to do her job.

“I would like to give her abig old hug and put it behindus.”

Williams called Saturday’soutburst and the controversythat has swirled around it ahumbling experience.

“It definitely is,” Williamssaid. “If it wasn’t I don’t thinkI could learn from the past.”

One day after issuing astatement in which sheadmitted she “let my passionand emotion get the best ofme” and “handled the situa-tion poorly” but did not apol-ogise for the incident,Williams released an apology.

“I want to sincerely apolo-gise first to the lineswoman,Kim Clijsters, the US TennisAssociation and mostly ten-nis fans everywhere for myinappropriate outburst,” thestatement said in part.

“I handled myself inappro-priately and it’s not the wayto act – win or lose, good callor bad call in any sport, in anymanner. We all learn fromexperiences both good andbad. I will learn and growfrom this.” - A F P

Roger Federer, owner of the most Grand Slamtitles in history and maybe the best player of alltime, finally lost at the US Open. But not toRafael Nadal, Andy Roddick or even Andy Murray.

Rather, it was sixth-seeded Juan Martin delPotro, the 6-foot-6 Argentine with the big serveand the bigger forehand, who did the deed – a 3-6 7-6 (5) 4-6 7-6 (4) 6-2 upset victory on Mondayin his first Grand Slam final.

“It’s difficult to explain this moment,” delPotro said. Inexplicable.

That’s another way to describe the loss of thetop-ranked Federer, who was two points awayfrom victory in the fourth set in a windy ArthurAshe Stadium but couldn’t get his serve to clickand had no answer for del Potro’s forehand.

Thus ended a streak of 40 straight wins forFederer at Flushing Meadows and the quest tobecome the first person to win six straight titlesat America’s Grand Slam since Bill Tilden in the1920s. “Five was great. Four was great, too,”Federer said. “Six would have been a dream, too.Can’t have them all.”

Federer beat everyone who got thrown at himin his five straight US Open final victories:Roddick, Murray, Andre Agassi, Lleyton Hewitt,Novak Djokovic. Big hitters, finesse players,youngsters, veterans. Everyone. Until he met upwith the lanky player from Argentina, nine daysaway from his 21st birthday.

“When I would have a dream, it was to win theUS Open, and the other one is to be like Roger,”del Potro said. “One is done.”

Del Potro had 37 forehand winners. And withthe forehand working so well, del Potro saw noneed to ramp up his powerful serve. Instead, hesimply spun it in, got himself into a rally, thenwaited for his chance to strike. Federer, mean-while, couldn’t get his first serve on track. He gotonly 50 per cent into play after averaging about66 per cent through his first six matches.

That gave him few easy points, and as thestrain built up, it became more than just physical.A staunch critic of the review system used in ten-nis, he lashed out at the chair umpire during achangeover for allowing del Potro to challenge acall well after the point was over.

“Don’t tell me to be quiet, OK? When I want totalk, I talk. I don’t give a ... what he said,” Federersaid in a profanity-punctuated exchange.
