DOUBLE DUTY
Eng and Chang (1) may be Siam's most famous twins, but Thailand has lots of pairs vying for attention: Aree and Naree Wongluekiet (2), 13, scratch golfers and identical twins, last week became the second youngest players to compete in the LPGA. Johnny and Luther Htoo (3), mystical preteen rebel leaders, who live in hiding along the Burmese-Thai border, made headlines this winter when their militia turned a Thai hospital into a giant hostage ward. Sonchat and Sonchai Ratiwatana, tennis-doubles champs, got to the finals in this month's Malaysian International Junior tourney. And according to the Bangkok Post, identical twins Suchart and Suchai Jaovisidha (4) will retire this year from their respective posts as Thailand's directors general of revenue and internal trade.
