LOCATION for our February 10th Meeting
IBAP has been invited to meet at URBAN FOOD located in Central Festival Shopping Center.
Being back at Central Festival is a bonus for many of us that like easy access, covered parking and plenty of shopping for the kids while at the meeting. Using the escalators by Office Depot URBAN FOOD is easily found between McDonalds and the main access doors. Visit the URBAN FOOD website to learn more. Our February meeting continues our membership drive for 2012 and is the meeting when paid members vote for the upcoming Board of Directors so if you haven't renewed yet try getting there a few minutes early.

Impressions & Recollections of a Thai attorney
Mr Rachasak Suwankumnoet, LL.B, Barrister-at-Law, Lawyer & Translator
Mr Rachasak Suwankumnoet (Khun Win) is a Thai Attorney-at-law specializing in criminal law. He studied law in Thailand and has spent nearly five years living and working in the USA. The fact that he is a lawyer having both Thai and US cultural backgrounds makes him a highly recommended lawyer by the courts to foreigners here in Phuket.
Khun Win will be sharing some of his insider views of the work of the local police and the local courts, especially related to cases involving foreigners. We are looking forward to hearing some case studies on how Khun Win, as a professional lawyer, has been able to legally resolve certain criminal matters successfully. We further hope that he will share with us some recommendations on how to deal with the local authorities and finally provide the audience with a "code of conduct" for cases where foreigners living in Phuket have been charged by the police.
