"Defeat is a state of mind. No one is ever defeated until defeat has been accepted as reality. To me, defeat in anything is merely temporary, and its punishment is but an urge for me to greater effort to achieve my goal. Defeat simply tells me that something is wrong in my doing; it is a path leading to success and truth."

GOOD FRIEND "ANTON" on visit in Bangkok.

My good friend "Anton" came to Thailand for some business, regarding the High society "Magazine Tatler" held at Chiang Mai.
So he made a stop in Bangkok and took all of us for dinner at the Sukhotai last week saturday. I happen though to over sleep.And came 1 hour late. It was not very nice of me.. But frankly I was super tired and wanted to have quick nap, which became a very long NAP!

At the dinner Anton surprised me with a Birthday gift, that I was actually suppose to pick up at the cartier shop three weeks earlier. BUt due to my busy schedule I just couldn't find the right time for it. Im very very happy with my birthday gift taht Anton gave me. Thanks Anton and I wont forget it ;)

here are some pics form our evening. The evening/night ended at Indus Bar with two bottles of Smirnoff.. Pfff ! alex got really wasted and drunk.. first time seeing him so drunk. well its always going t be a first. Late evening I dropped both my guest Anna & Anton to their each hotels in bangkok.

Cheers...

SURPRISE EMAIL !

Dear Players,

Me and and my new Assistant Director and "Alex Dumitriu" who is as well my male model from Romania... We both have been working intensively hard on several projects lately.. We are currently limited with time and can only post some short videos or photos for your all to see and enjoy..

Yesterday we received a very nice surprise email from another charity organization in Bangkok. Who focus on helping out and take care of street dogs and cats in Thailand.
We got a email from the founder herself and it inspired me an alex tremendously to do more for the plight of animals and poverty in the world.

We also posted a video that we did two from 2 nights ago..




*This is email we both received from (Founder & President) "Sherry Conisbee"and we want to share with you all and hope it will inspire you as well ;)

Dear Patrick and Alex

The work you are about to attempt with PETA on behalf of the deserving elephants of Thailand warms my heart.

As a member of an animal welfare group in Bangkok, I share your hopes for a better deal for all animals in Thailand. Along with the elephants, 300,000 dogs and many thousands more cats live a pitiful existence on the busy streets of Bangkok and I hope that as a spin off, a greater awareness will be brought to their plight during your campaign. Anyone visiting Thailand cannot fail to notice their sad life.

We're known as SCAD, meaning "Soi Cats and Dogs" www.scadbangkok.org
In our experience, it is not always our successes that spur us on to do more to help the animals. More often it is our failure to save an injured animal that lives on in our memories and leaves us wondering whether we could have done more.

On behalf of the cats and dogs in Thailand who we have helped, and who still need our help, I am wondering whether the Ribbsaeter Foundation can assist our cause. We'd be pleased to show you around, introduce you to our projects and the animals we care so passionately about.

Apologies for my unsolicited approach but I never miss an opportunity to speak up for the animals! Good luck with everything you're doing for the elephants here in Thailand.

With best wishes and hoping to hear from you.
Sherry & the team in Bangkok

For the past couple of months, there's been planning for another Ad Campaign by Patrick Ribbsaeter & RIBBSAETER PRODUCTION together with P.E.T.A (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals) to be photographed in Bangkok on the 17 TH of May, 2008 By thailands top photographer and long time friend P YAi (Amat Nimitpark) http://www.amatnimitpark.com

I'm looking for 6-8 (REAL INTERNATIONA)L Male & Female models to feature in this campaign with me and alex. If u around Bangkok area, I would love to hear from you ASAP. Please leave me your message here or email me at patrick@ribbsaeter.com

The planning for this Ad campaign is as follow.
-------------------------------------
WORLDWIDE MEDIA EXPOSURE.(REUTERS ETC)

1. Main press shot: group of models behind a banner reading 'The Naked
Truth: Elephants Should Be Free. Possibly outdoor or in Studio (To be
finalized).

2. Shoot someone naked in a Bamboo cage like the ones they use for breaking
elephants.

3. Shoot another 'Beaten, Shackled, Abused' ad with a woman crouched on the
ground in shackles with whip marks on her back.

4. Whips and Chains Are For The Bedroom, Not For Elephants, ad with
Patrick and maybe 2 female models posing in a bed.

5. Shoot someone in a cage for an image that could be used for our campaign
against the Pata Zoo.



Out take from latest Ad Campaign.
--------------------------------
Supermodel Patrick Ribbsaeter, the buff body who has worked with major brands such as Armani, Gucci, and Calvin Klein, is more than just another pretty face. Proving that his heart is as beautiful as the rest of his parts, the Thai-Swedish supermodel recently bared it all in PETA Asia-Pacific's latest ad campaign against the cruel treatment of elephants in captivity. Clad in nothing but chains, Patrick appears in one ad with the tagline "Wild Animals Don't Belong in Chains: Stop Thai Elephant Cruelty" and in another urging the public to boycott zoos.

Why is this world-famous model baring his wild physique for wild animals? In Thailand, approximately 3,000 of the country's estimated 4,500 endangered Asian elephants are privately owned. Most are used as tourist attractions in elephant camps, where they are forced to perform circus tricks and give rides. PETA US has obtained undercover video footage of the horrific torture that is routine in elephant training. Still-nursing baby elephants are dragged from their mothers. Elephants are immobilized, beaten mercilessly, and gouged with nails for days at a time. These ritualized "training" sessions frequently leave elephants badly injured, traumatized, or even dead.

Zoos are just as cruel. Torn from their families and homeland, elephants kept in zoos are deprived of everything that's natural and important to them, including the companionship of other elephants and adequate space to exercise. Many zoos still use cruel and outdated circus-style training—beating elephants with bullhooks and keeping them chained for long hours. Elephants in zoos suffer a life of chronic physical ailments, social deprivation, emotional starvation, and premature death. Lack of exercise and long hours standing on hard surfaces are major contributors to foot infections and arthritis, the leading causes of death among captive elephants.

Follow Patrick's model example and say no to elephant exploitation! Speak up for Thai elephants now! Visit HelpThaiElephants.com for more information.
