...Pernod Ricard of France means that the big three - Diageo and Pernod Ricard, plus Allied Domecq - now account for 57% of global sales. Although global super brands like Diageo's J&B (the world's top-selling Scotch), Allied Domecq's Ballantine's and Pernod Ricard's Chivas Regal will inevitably kill off other whiskies, the upside of consolidation is that the industry now has players with the financial resources and distribution networks to develop new markets and keep Scotch atop the international drinks league...

Hyatt Regency recently became the newest resort to stake a claim upon Hua Hin's regal beach. Up and down the sand, hotels are being re-branded as fashionable spas. But there are no beach parties, no raves. And don't expect any soon, since the King has taken up permanent residence in his town palace Klai Kangwon. The name means "far from worries." That has long been Hua Hin's mantra, more than ever now that royalty is back...
