A bridge to Fukuoka

The new daily flight, on an Airbus A320, offers cheaper air travel and prompt service. Fukuoka, a youthful and friendly city, is the gateway to Kyushu Island and famed for its beautiful women “Hakata bijin” and hearty egg noodle “Hakata ramen”. Visit www.Jetstar.com.
An elephantine task
Jahn, the award-winning restaurant of the Conrad Koh Samui Resort & Spa, has introduced a new coffee menu featuring the Black Ivory Elephant Coffee. As the only purveyor on the island of this coffee, diners will be among the most privileged to savour one of the world’s most interesting coffees. The Black Ivory Elephant Coffee is created through a process whereby the coffee beans are naturally refined by Thai elephants at the Golden Elephant Triangle Foundation in Chiang Saen, northern Thailand.
