8:59 PM | Diposkan oleh kha |

Bangkok - Thailand is a country applying democratic monarchy. King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the elderly are not only respected, but also very loved by his people. Like other Asian countries, Thailand is rich in natural scenery, cultural, and traditional cuisine. A rich history that left many cultural and historical sites worth visiting.

For me, in particular, Bangkok is one of the culinary center of the world's most sexy. For others, Bangkok is a shopping paradise cheap. And for a small group, perhaps, is where the Nudity plesiran. Thai female beauty is not in doubt.

(Special note: tourists has always been a target of people who intend to take advantage. Bangkok is no exception. Be careful when dealing with taxi drivers or Tuktuk. They are often set high tariffs and take the route away. If you want to go to a particular restaurant, they often say that the restaurant was closed and invite you to another restaurant with exorbitant prices).

Access
Suvarnabhumi International Airport is modern and luxurious is the new pride of Thailand. Airport on the outskirts of Bangkok is the main entrance to Thailand. Buses from various neighboring countries - Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar - also connects Thailand with many other tourist destinations.

Bangkok was once known as city with worst traffic jams are now successful enough to overcome the main problem. Public transport is the preferred tourist Sky train (BTS) with a friendly maps. Taxis and Tuktuk (bemo decorated vehicles such as Nudity) were very numerous. Actually, if we are not fooled, taxi fares and Tuktuk reasonably priced.

Visa
As fellow citizens of ASEAN, we do not require visas for short visits of up to 14 days. Those who will be working or studying in Thailand need a visa at the Thai embassy in Jakarta.

Currency, Credit Cards and Banking Facilities
Thai currency is the baht. Currently, Baht a value of about USD 30. Foreign currencies can be exchanged at various places. Indonesia paper currency can be exchanged at some certain money changers. Most local bank ATMs can accept ATM cards from leading Indonesian bank. Credit cards are acceptable up to small traders.

Hotel
As an important tourist destination, Bangkok has so many hotels, scattered in various districts. The selection should be based on the destination hotel we visit. Is quite cheap hotel rates in Bangkok. At the price level of U.S. $ 100 only have we can get rooms at the four-star hotel overnight. Some three-star hotel can be obtained even with tariffs below U.S. $ 50.

Hotels of international franchise many found here, such as Four Seasons, Shangri-La, Sofitel, Novotel, Sheraton, and others. There are also several boutique hotels that use the beautiful old buildings.

Walk
Chao Phraya, the river that divides Bangkok, is probably the main attraction of this city. With a water taxi or water bus is up and down the river berlalulintas this solid, we can go anywhere to achieve goals important tourism Bangkok.

Grand Palace, for example, also located on the banks of the Chao Phraya. If you want to visit here, be sure not to wear shorts and dress appropriate.Sleeveless shirt is also prohibited. This is the "home" the King, so the protocol and security rules are strictly enforced here. Grand Palace is one of the destinations that should not be missed in Bangkok.

Next to the Grand Palace there is a Buddhist temple called Wat Phra Kaew.In this temple there are statues of Buddha made of emerald (a kind of dark olive-green jade).

A short walk, we can also reach Wat Po with Buddha statues stretched (Reclining Buddha) of the largest gold around the world. In addition to visiting the beautiful temples and statues, many tourists who come here to feel the pleasure of a massage at the massage school in the courtyard of this temple. Hence the famous massage technique called Temple Massage.

Back across the Chao Phraya, in the direction opposite the Grand Palace there is a another temple, Wat Arun (Temple of the Dawn). Pagodanya tall, with a very beautiful carving ceramics. Because the majority of Buddhists, Bangkok does not lack the Buddhist temples to visit.

Bangkok National Museum has also fairly good. Lumpini Park in the middle of the city is also a great destination if you want to enjoy the freshness of the green after a weary walk. Some places also hold attractions Muay Thai (Thai Boxing) on ​​Saturday night.

Beware if someone offers attractions floating market (floating market) on the outskirts of the Chao Phraya. Actually, the floating markets of Bangkok has been eliminated. At best, you will be invited to tour the river and "reunited" with 3-5 other boats who sell postcards, souvenirs, or a cold beer.

Of course, Bangkok is a shopping paradise. Clothing, garments, and accessories sold everywhere at a low price. Likewise souvenir products and souvenirs. First, in downtown Bangkok's Suan Lum Night Market is very popular. Unfortunately, now Suan Lum has been evicted. Night market was scattered around Patpong.

Shopping tourist destination on the weekends is the Chatuchak Weekend Market, a bit far from downtown. Do not miss Orthokor Market across from if you want to hunt for durian and a variety of traditional Thai food. Another popular shopping spot is the Paragon mall Complex with modern comfort.Inside there are various foodcourts Paragon also interesting.

Several districts of Bangkok - Patpong, among others, in the city center - an area famous for its evening entertainment. Here encountered hundreds of bars and cafes which became the hangout that offers women a moment of excitement. Make no mistake, too many male prostitutes operating here.

Some destinations outside the city not too far from Bangkok include: Ayutthaya, Damnoen Saduak floating market, Pattaya, Hua Hin. Ayutthaya is the old town which has many heritage buildings. Damnoen Saduak Floating Market is a popular tourist attraction as visitors can see people's lives in the village and eat-drink-shop on the boat. Pattaya and Hua Hin is a beautiful beach which is visited.

Bangkok is also very well visited at times folk festivals, for example, about the event Loy Krathong (removing the wax into the river, in November) or Songkran (water festival, New Year, in April).


Culinary
As I have argued above, Bangkok is a culinary paradise. The price was very cheap. Meals peddled on the streets is very diverse and very affordable price.

Basically, Thai cuisine is divided into North and South. In the North, the cuisine is heavily influenced by Chinese cuisine, Laos, India and even - most of her cooking is very spicy. While in the South, much influenced by Muslim culinary, spices complemented usually wear (a kind of paste).

In addition to rice, most Thai dishes are served with sticky rice. For example, som tam (papaya salad) and yamma Muang (young mango salad) which is always served with a spicy steamed sticky rice because it is a nice spicy flavor absorbers. In the South, plural also eat steamed sticky rice with durian and mango sweet side dish.

Kari (gaeng) also includes popular dishes in Thailand. There is a red curry, green curry, and curry yellow - depending on flavor and color gravy. Because many are Buddhist, many are also vegetarian curry in Thailand. Normally, Thai curry is very thick. Kentalnya coconut milk cooked until the break and separate the oil from coconut milk.

For Muslims, need to be careful to order Thai food. Although chicken dishes, many cooked with a mixture of pork or pork oil. In Bangkok, there are Muslim region with several kosher restaurants that should be noted, for example: Meena in Bang Kapi, Karima in Bang Rak. The restaurants around the Arab and Indian Nana also other options to get Halal food.

The regions surrounding the target market is right when you hunt culinary.Various types of food / snacks tasty and inexpensive can be found. Those who rush to buy a piece of grilled meat is cut into pieces and eaten with steamed sticky rice while walking. Various types of noodle soups are also often found in roadside stalls.

Somboon Seafood is the franchise's most popular seafood in Bangkok - especially for tourists. Actually, more like Somboon seafood restaurants in Hong Kong fish market with the concept. Guests come to choose fish / squid / shrimp / crab / shellfish on-display at the front, and ordered the desired type of cuisine. Somboon has five branches in Bangkok and the price is quite affordable. Seafood Market is also a famous seafood restaurant in Bangkok. Vigilant with their imitation, which is the restaurant with names dimirip-miripkan.

You are a fan of pad thai - a kind of fried kuetiauw? Cuisine is available everywhere. However, if you want the most famous place in Mahachai Road, the shop named Thip Samai. Only open from dusk until dawn. TIME magazine had already been covered here.

Do not miss the opportunity to learn to cook. Some hotels, also along the main tourist area, many of which offer short courses Thai cuisine. Within 3 hours, we can learn to cook Thai cuisine type 3-5. The average cooking class offered at such affordable costs.

If you want a Thai meal is served in fine dining, some restaurants I can recommend include: Baan Khanitha (have 3 outlets, the most luxurious in Sathorn - cum gallery), Patara in Sukhumvit, Silom Le Siam in, or the Blue Elephant on Sathorn . There is also the Manohra Song, dinner cruise on a traditional rice barge that has been restored into a luxury boat, while sailing the Chao Phraya. When you've got about three hours, this is a unique experience.

Telecommunications and Internet
There are many providers in Thailand that provide cellular telephone service, among others: AIS, DTAC, True. SIM cards for mobile phones can be purchased at 7-Eleven, Family Mart, and various mini market which are often found in the antero Bangkok. At Suvarnabhumi airport arrival area there are also outlets that sell SIM cards. For topping-up (adding pulses) can be done at the same outlets.

For data communication, you should immediately come to the booth providers. Cheap Internet cafes and free WiFi is also available in many places.

DPD Cravings Luxury House

9:42 AM | Diposkan oleh kha |

Jakarta - House of Representatives Council (DPD) in fact already have a secretariat office in every province. In Papua, for example, an existing two-storey Council office. In North Sulawesi, there are three-storey Council secretariat and the extensive building in West Kalimantan. The third building was arguably very reasonable and their location in the heart of the strategy for the city.

These buildings are oxtail request the Secretary General of the DPD period 2004-2009 to the entire head area of ​​the province. Once received the blessing of the interior minister at that time, a number of regional heads finally agreed to give local government-owned buildings to be sekreriat DPP in each province.

But in its development, a number of DPD members then fight for the role of DPD in order to be included in the Law on Discipline of the House.

"In the DPD Tatib Act then states there is need for the secretariat of the DPD in each region, namely in 33 provinces," said Chairman of the Concerned Citizens Forum Indonesian Parliament (Formappi) Sebastian Salang told AFP.

Unfortunately, the rule was apparently used by a number of DPD members for the period 2009-2014 proposed budget for the construction of the secretariat of DPD in 33 provinces.

According to the Secretary General Siti Nurbaya DPD, in Law No. 27 of 2009, one of the contents of government mandates to construct the building as supporting the DPD's performance in each province. "The procurement process mandated by the law building to the government for 2 years," said Siti.

But according to Sebastian, the reason it's just a trick only. Therefore, further Sebastian, in Law No. 27 Year 2009 on the MPR / DPR, DPD and DPRD, there are no special rules to construct a new building. Moreover, with the condition that luxury.

"In the Law it is only mentioned the DPD needs to have a secretariat office in each region to support its work. But almost all local governments have set up since the period 2004-2009. So what else build a new building. Because the DPD secretariat in the area when This is still very viable, "Sebastian regret.

Surprisingly, the cost of building pembagunan DPD in each province that would suck up the budget of Rp 832 billion. Assuming each of the buildings to cost Rp 25 billion and Rp 30 billion. The planned land area for each building area of ​​more than 6,000 square meters. And the cost of building construction per square meter is pegged USD 10 million.

Actually, not all senators agreed with the plan of building the DPD. Presumably there are some members of the DPD try looking for a profit in this project. The existence of a business interest in building the DPD is arise because the value of the project is very large, reaching Rp 832 billion alias approaching $ 1 trillion. "This is definitely something to try looking for a profit," thought Sebastian.

But about the existence of parties that make a profit in building construction projects DPD DPD Siti Nurbaya Secretary denied. "Please be monitored and checked. What is clear at this time we do not make a tender for implementation of the DPD building," said Siti told AFP.

She said, the current budget has allocated only about Rp 300 billion. For that reason, the construction of a new Council for this year planned for the 10 provinces only. Everything outside of Java. While for the most recent development of Jakarta because of difficulty finding land.

Although Siti said the project was not anything alias is not already running, the procurement process for construction consultants are already reaping the spotlight because of awkward.

Secretary General of Indonesian Forum for Budget Transparency (Fitra) Yuna Farhan notice any irregularities since the planning stages of building the DPD. For example by the use of construction management services provider.

According to Farhan, the Minister of Public Works under Regulation No 45 of 2007, concerning the technical guidelines for state building construction, construction management services could be involved if the construction project on the fourth floor. In addition, the project also involves more than one consultant or contractor planner.

Use of construction management is also not appropriate because the design of buildings DPD in each province is different. "DPD secretary-general should simply use the services of construction supervisor for cheaper," explains Farhan.

To illustrate, the cost of construction management services for construction cost $ 500 billion the amount of 1.89%. Meanwhile, when using the services of construction supervisors magnitude 1.5% of the cost of physical construction. In other words, by using the services of construction supervisors will be cheaper 0.38% of the cost of physical construction.

Besides Questioning the existence of waste, Fitra also deplore the tender process of construction management that is considered violating the rules. Should the tender for construction management in advance than the tender of the consultant planner or contractor. Happens, the auction for construction management services contractor in conjunction with the auction.

Another extravagance, the announcement of the prequalification documents a general selection 11/PPBJREN-MK No. / 110-GO/2010, dated August 3, 2010, are known to limit the total estimated construction management consultant cost Rp 18 billion. This figure is much higher than the ceiling of the budget for construction planning consultants, which cost Rp 12.8 billion.

"We do not have a record of who the management of construction. Bujeting But from the budget for construction management services are very expensive at $ 18 billion. It appears there was the potential waste of budget," said Farhan.

Vice Chairman of the DPD Laode Ida contacted by AFP said, if it is considered wasteful, he does not mind the new office DPD minimized.

"The design of the new office is still not final DPD can be changed. Does size still exist that could be diminished or eliminated. It's all still up for discussion," said Laode.

Ex-IMF boss freed from house arrest

7:37 PM | Diposkan oleh kha |
A New York judge released Dominique Strauss-Kahn from house arrest Friday, after prosecutors presented evidence questioning the credibility of the hotel maid who accused the former International Monetary Fund chief of sexual assault.

The alleged victim, a 32-year-old immigrant from Guinea, admitted to prosecutors that she lied about the specifics of her whereabouts following the incident, the details of an asylum application and information she put on tax forms, according to documents filed in court Friday by prosecutors.
But while the case has taken a dramatic turn, it has not been dismissed, said Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance. The indictment and charges -- including criminal sexual acts and sexual abuse -- against Strauss-Kahn, 62, still stand, Vance said.

"His lawyers said the alleged victim told "substantial lies about her own background and the facts of this case."

Defense attorney Benjamin Brafman commended Vance for doing what he said was appropriate.
"We believed from the beginning that this case was not what it appeared to be," he said. "We are absolutely convinced that while today is a first giant step in the right direction, the next step will lead to a complete dismissal of the charges."

Strauss-Kahn's release significantly eases the extraordinary bail conditions that had been previously ordered.

The French financier had been released from jail on $6 million bail but was under house arrest in a luxury townhouse in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood. He was paying roughly $250,000 a month for court-ordered 24-hour armed guards posted at the townhouse.

The presiding judge said authorities will continue to withhold Strauss-Kahn's passport but that he is free to travel in the United States.

The stunning twist in the case came after prosecutors, in the course of their investigation, discovered that the alleged victim had not been truthful in a variety of topics regarding her history and circumstances, prosecutors said in a letter submitted to the court.

Prosecutors said the woman admitted lying in her application for asylum in the United States and that she had been a victim of a gang rape, providing details of that attack. She cried when she first told prosecutors about the rape but in a subsequent interview, she admitted the gang rape never occurred.

She said the fabricated account on the asylum application was made with the assistance of a man who "provided her with a cassette recording of the facts" so that she could memorize them.

The woman told prosecutors that she has declared the child of a friend as her own dependent on her tax return in order to receive a larger refund. She "also admitted to misrepresenting her income in order to maintain her present housing," the prosecutors said.

After the alleged hotel assault, the woman told prosecutors that she "fled to an area of the main hallway of the hotel's 28th floor and waited there until she observed the defendant leave," the prosecutors said. She said she then reported the incident to her supervisor.

But in subsequent interviews, the woman admitted her testimony before the Grand Jury was false; that she "proceeded to clean a nearby room, and then returned to Suite 2806 (the room occupied by Strauss-Kahn) and began to clean the suite before she reported the incident to her supervisor."

In angry remarks delivered outside the courthouse, the woman's attorney, Kenneth Thompson, admitted problems with his client's credibility, but the bottom line, he said was that she was attacked.

"That was true the day it happened and it is true today," he said, describing in chilling detail the account the woman gave of her attack and the bruising on her body.

"She has described that sexual assault many times to the prosecutors and to me. And she has never once changed a single thing about that account."

The development is particularly stunning given prior statements by New York authorities, who spoke forcefully about the accuser's credibility, and it leaves the felony case against Strauss-Kahn teetering on collapse, despite incontrovertible DNA evidence of sexual contact recovered from the hotel suite.

"It's just an extraordinary, extraordinary development considering this case was brought with such great fanfare by the Manhattan district attorney and they very loudly trumpeted the credibility of the accuser," said Jeffrey Toobin, CNN's senior legal analyst.

"What makes it even more extraordinary is that the (DNA) evidence apparently shows a sexual encounter between Dominique Strauss-Kahn and the woman who is the maid. Yet even with DNA evidence, the prosecution is considering dropping the case. That shows how bad her credibility may be."

Kenneth Thompson, her attorney, said allegations about the woman's involvement in drugs, published in The New York Times, are a lie, adding that Manhattan District Attorney Vance was afraid of losing the high-profile case.

Thompson also said one of Vance's top aides is married to an individual connected Strauss-Kahn's defense team, creating an untenable conflict of interest in the case.

Vance told reporters Friday that Strauss-Kahn's release did not dismiss the indictment or any of the charges against the former IMF chief, though he did not address Thompson's accusations of impropriety.

The implications of the case are far reaching, especially in France, where before his arrest, Strauss-Kahn was considered a viable candidate in France's presidential election.

The turnaround in the case comes just ahead of the July 13 filing deadline for the French presidential primaries. If the case collapses, Strauss-Kahn theoretically has enough time to file.

His supporters would still like to see him run, though some Parisians interviewed on the streets Friday said even if Strauss-Kahn was cleared of wrongdoing, it was too late for him to seek office this go-around.

Still, many in France felt vindicated over concerns that New York prosecutors were perhaps over zealous and that there had been a rush to judgment.

They were shocked by widely broadcast footage of Strauss-Kahn in handcuffs in May, since a French law passed in 2000 prohibits the publication of images of suspects in handcuffs or in court in order to protect defendants' presumption of innocence.

Jack Lang, France's former minister of culture and education, said he was very happy about the latest developments -- and hoped to see his fellow Socialist party politician make a comeback.

"If the prosecutor and the court decide to declare the innocence of DSK, it will be a good day -- a good day for Dominique himself, a good day for American justice, a good day for France and a good day for the Left," he said.

Bisnis Nazar-Nasir Meroket Sejak di Demokrat

7:47 PM | Diposkan oleh kha |
TEMPO Interaktif, Jakarta -Bisnis M. Nazaruddin dan M. Nasir ditengarai berkembang pesat sejak keduanya bergabung dengan Partai Demokrat. Misalnya PT Anugrah Nusantara, salah satu perusahaan mereka. Dari akta yang diperoleh Tempo, modal awal perusahaan yang berdiri pada 1999 di Pekanbaru, Riau, itu Rp 2 miliar. Jumlah itu bertambah menjadi Rp 100 miliar pada 2006 dan meroket menjadi setengah triliun rupiah pada 2009.

Sutan Bhatoegana, kolega Nazaruddin di Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat, menilai tak jadi masalah jika bisnis keduanya berkembang sejak bergabung dengan Demokrat. Apalagi bisnis itu kini tidak dijalankan oleh Nasir ataupun Nazaruddin, tapi oleh keluarganya. Lagi pula, kata Sutan, jika ada indikasi penyalahgunaan wewenang dalam bisnis, seharusnya ada laporan ke Badan Kehormatan DPR. "Sampai sejauh ini kan tidak ada," ujarnya saat dihubungi kemarin.

Anggota DPR dari Fraksi Demokrat ini mengungkapkan baru mengenal Nasir saat mereka bersama-sama menjadi anggota DPR pada 2009. Adapun dengan Nazaruddin, Sutan telah mengenalnya sejak dia menjabat Wakil Bendahara Demokrat. Sutan pun hanya mendengar bahwa Nasir dan Nazaruddin berkongsi bisnis kelapa sawit di Riau. "Selebihnya tidak tahu."

Menurut pantauan Tempo, PT Anugrah berlokasi di rumah toko berlantai dua di Jalan Tambusai, Pekanbaru. Warga sekitar menyebutkan pemilik kantor bercat biru itu adalah orang kuat Demokrat di Jakarta. Menurut Ik Ho, karyawan kantor di sebelah PT Anugrah, saat Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono terpilih lagi sebagai presiden pada 2009, kantor itu ramai dikunjungi. "Saban hari banyak mobil bagus parkir. Juga mobil pejabat," ujarnya.

Kini ruko itu terlihat sepi. Papan nama perusahaan itu hanya bertulisan "Anugrah", tapi masih terlihat bekas kalimat "Nusantara" yang sudah dicopot. "Tak tahu kapan dicopot dan kenapa," ujar Dicky, anggota staf marketing PT Anugrah. Dia mengungkapkan kepemilikan perusahaan itu kini sudah berpindah tangan. Tapi Dicky mengakui PT Anugrah pada awalnya ditangani Nazaruddin.

PT Anugrah inilah yang kini sedang diusut Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi. Perusahaan ini merupakan rekanan proyek revitalisasi sarana peningkatan mutu pendidikan dan tenaga Kependidikan Kementerian Pendidikan Nasional. Proyek itu digarap pada 2007. KPK menengarai pengadaan prasarana proyek itu tidak sesuai dengan bestek.

Hingga berita ini diturunkan, Nasir belum bisa dimintai konfirmasi. Saat dihubungi, teleponnya tidak diangkat. Pesan pendek juga belum dibalas. Sedangkan Nazaruddin--yang berada di Singapura--tidak menjawab pesan yang dikirim melalui BlackBerry Messenger.
