Looking younger each year our accounting lady Khun Anya is having her birthday today. How old she is turning? She told us she was born in the year 2500, so calculate for yourself…
Khun Anya and Holger
Make a wish...
Cake for everyone
The Sea Bees Team wishes you all the best Khun Anya. May all your wishes come true!
Last Saturday the Staff from the Palm Garden Resort came together to celebrate a whole lot of things. First of all it was time again for a general get together of course. Second our gardener Khun Boonruang had his birthday that day, and last but not least we have new staff members to welcome.
So enough reasons for the whole group to have a nice Seafood Dinner at the Palai Seafood with a beautiful view over the Andaman Sea. Many shrimp and funny conversations later, it was time for some sweet birthday cake. Holger had little difficulties lighting all the candles, but Khun Boonruang had it even easier blowing them out.
Khun Boo and Khun Kung are the newest members of the Palm Garden Crew. Since the 22nd of June they are supporting the Restaurant Team in the Resort. As you can see they have already integrated very well. Khun Noi is currently enjoying her holiday in Germany and could therefore unfortunately not be with us.
The rest of the Sea Beas Team wishes Khun Boonruang lots of luck and happiness for his Birthday. For the newcomers Khun Boo and Khun Kung a warm welcome, and we hope to have many sucessfull and joyfull times together in the future. Have fun in good old Germany Khun Noi.
Palm Garden Girls
Bon appétit!
The whole Team

In June Susan and Ellen came to Sea Bees to fulfill themselves a long awaited wish. For many years they were fascinated by the underwater world and always wanted to learn Scuba diving together. Years passed by, but this summer it was time to turn the dream into reality. So mother and daughter had a 4 day course to absolve.
Tim was their instructor of trust for this Open Water Course. And as he has a lot of experience we believe his judgment, that the two did it just great. Already on the second day in the open water they joined in on the daytrip tour with the Excalibur to the Anemone reef. This dive site, is not an explicit spot for beginners, but rather for certified, experienced divers. Following Tim’s instructions everything went well and they fully enjoyed the colorful marine life. Well done ladies.
After the four day course the two did not have enough of diving yet and went for more fun dives with Sea Bees. On Friday the June 18th on shark point their dive guide was Born. Have a look at the newly cerified divers. Congratulations Susan and Ellen!

Liebe SeaBees!
Auf diesem Wege nochmals ein herzliches Dankeschön für die sehr gute, professionelle und sehr angenehme Begleitung und Organisation rund ums Tauchen. Wie es bei den SeaBees und am Schiff Excalibur II abläuft wurde hier und auch in taucher.net schon ausführlich beschrieben, dem ist nichts hinzuzufügen, außer, dass es wirklich so ist, wie es beschrieben wurde!
Das Palm Garden Resort ist ein ausgesprochen schöner und angenehmer Ort zu entspannen und zu genießen!
Danke und Grüße auch an Janine und Bobby und viele liebe Grüße an Maritta!
(Wir würden gerne mal wieder mit ihr Eisessen gehen- und natürlich Tauchen!)
Vermissen Thailand und das Tauchen und grüßen euch!
Kerstin und Sabine
Admin sagt: Liebe Kerstin und Sabine, wir freuen uns sehr über dieses schriftliche Dankeschön. Es war schön, dass Ihr da ward und hoffen natürlich auf eine baldige Wiederholung!
Last but definetly not least we had the birth of a babygirl as well! Matthias and Ouie became parents of Marie Nanticha on the 17th of June at 1.50 p.m. Her weight at birth was 3350 grams and height was 52 cm.
The warmest wishes and gratulations from the Sea Bees Team for you! May everything go the way you dream it!
Marie – all females at Sea Bees have faith in you … we need more women on board!
The new family
Wow – 3 babies in such a short time- there must have been something in the water. Let’s see who is next.
To be continued ???
The second couple to have their newborn is Gina and Tim. Congratulations to the birth of Kingston Arnold McCartney Cambell on May 19 at 3.49 p.m. With a weight of 3200 grams and height of 55 cm he clearly overtook his predecessor Jeffrey.
The whole Sea Bees Team is happy for the two of you. We hope the future for the three of you will bring luck and health. And another new diver? Maybe Jeffrey and Kingston can do their bubblemaker together…
Still to be continued…
The “babyrace” was won by Uwe and Bo with their cute little Jeffrey. On the 7th of May at 8.30 a.m. Jeffrey was born. His weight was 2870 grams and he was 53 cm upon his birth.
Mom, Dad and little Jeffrey
Everybody at Sea Bees wishes health, love and happiness to the Family. When will he start diving Uwe?

Phuket Marine Biology Center successfully convinced the Government of Thailand to sing the MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) of the United Nations Environmental Program CMS (Convention on Migratory Species). The agreement on the “Conservation and Management of Dugongs” was already signed by 9 countries during the CMS Meeting in Abu Dabi 2007, followed by 3 more committing countries in Bali 2008. Finally on the 19th of May 2009 the Thai cabinet unanimously agreed to also sign the MoU. When the actual signing will take place is not yet announced.
Dugongs are large marine mammals, which belong together with manatees to the group of Sirenia. They live in the ocean of at least 37 nations in the in-pacific region. They can mostly be found on see grass beds in shallow protected waters. They get up to 70 years old and reproduce themselves quite slow. Their threats are hunters, accidents with fishing nets and the reduction of their natural habitat. These facts make the Dugong population endangered to extinction.
We are hopeful that Dugongs will live safer and happier around Phuket in the coming years. We will add what we can from our side. Have a look at these wonderful animals.
Sea Bees unterstützt die Kampagne des WSPA – World Society for the Protection of Animals – in Deutschland die Welttierschutzgesellschaft e.V. bei der Petition gegen den kommerziellen und wissenschaftlichen Walfang. Zum Erhalt dieser wunderbaren Tiere und damit auch dem biologischen Gleichgewicht unserer Unterwasserwelt würden wir uns freuen, wenn Ihr folgenden Aufruf lest und mitmacht.
Helfen Sie mit Ihrer Unterschrift,
die Wale zu schützen.
kommerziellen und wissenschaftlichen Walfang!
Am 22. Juni 2009 kommen in Portugal auf der jährlichen Tagung der Internationalen Walfang-Kommission (IWC) mehr als 80 Regierungen verschiedener Länder zusammen. Sie werden erneut die inakzeptablen Methoden des Walfangs in Island, Japan und Norwegen diskutieren und die Entscheidung über die Zukunft der Wale treffen. Mehr als 25 Jahre nach dem weltweiten Verbot der kommerziellen Jagd auf Wale sind diese intelligenten Säugetiere immer noch in Gefahr, denn trotz Verbot des kommerziellen Walfangs jagen und töten Island, Japan und Norwegen jedes Jahr mehr als 25.000 Wale.
Nehmen Sie an beiden Unterschriftsaktionen teil:
1. Tragen Sie dazu bei, dass Ihr Land für die Wale und nicht für den Walfang stimmt.
2. Erinnern Sie die Außenministerien von Island, Japan und Norwegen daran, dass die Welt auf diese Grausamkeit schaut. Fordern Sie sie auf, den Walfang zu stoppen.
Schützen Sie die Wale und stimmen Sie für ein Walfangverbot!
Another member of our Sea Bees Team gets older… how old exactly? We will not tell you. You will have to ask her yourself the next time you are here.
Congratulations Nat! The whole Sea Bees Team whishes you luck, health and love for the coming year.
