DL Dexter Lawrence on lessons learned from I really liked the cheese, Tom Whitcraft food spokesman perhaps a little less so, but it made a very promising start to the meal. Thomas Boedinger had selected Felsina Chianti Classico Riserva to accompany Hokkaido sea scallops ser ved with rocket salad and pomegranate smoked in apple wood. I and most others continued. The beef was firm, cooked medium rare, and delicious, and the foie gras and spinach proved to be perfect accompaniments.

One could only wish for a second helping but there was still more food to come, as well as second and third rounds of the Montalcino. Formaggio marinato alle with the Santagostino leaving the Chianti for later consideration. The scallops arrived in smoke-filled, sealed jars; they were only opened when all diners were ready to eat. The scallops were tasty, cooked to perfection, and the smoking added an extra novel dimension to the dish.

Next came Risotto with fresh black summer truffle ser ved with egg yolk stuffed with a truffle sauce. This was truly awesome and for me the best dish of the day.

Equitation Riding The latest competition at Horse Shoe Point in March this year saw 18 different teams competing in over 40 different events covering jumping, dressage, and equitation. Over the last two years equitation riding has become more popular on the circuit as this breaks the monopoly of whoever has the best horse wins.

Good equitation riders are always in balance with their horses, maintaining a correct position in every gait, movement, and clearing fences. Good equitation riders should possess a commanding, but relaxed, presence in the saddle and are able to direct the horse with nearly invisible aids over fences and through other obstacles. The competitors come from all over the world and encompass all different ages. The majority of riders are Thai and most of the riders in competitions tend to be under 18, both boys and girls.

The Thai military feature riders in all disciplines of varying ages. All riders at competitions are allowed to enter as many events as they deem fit but most choose for one ride each day in the discipline they consider best suited for their horse. Occasionally some spring riders will jump at 50 cm in the morning and then again at 80 cm in the afternoon, using the same horse. Riders must be ready to go against at least 20 others in the hunt for a ribbon in every discipline. Cash awards, trophies, and ribbons are given to the three top performing riders in every event; places four, five and six receive a ribbon.

To get into the top three is the crowning glory and sets the tone for the next competition a few weeks later. For more info on stables and riding clubs around Bangkok feel free to contact Lloyd Wilson at llwilson berkeley.

It has plenty of natural light and a design scheme that seems to promote relaxation and inspiration at the same time.

This new department happened to be organized within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where it still operates today. However my intention was to work for international development cooperation and humanitarian assistance projects alone and never gave a thought to being a diplomat.

We spent a month here travelling around and we all loved the country very much. I had no idea then that I would ever return as a diplomat, which I did in as deputy head of mission, not to mention that I would one day represent the president of the republic in this country.
