Athiwara was welcomed by Muang district chief Weeraphan Dee-on at the stadium together with his running buddies, many of whom are celebrities and singers, such as Kong Sorawit, Top Daraneenuch, Pub Potato, Aot Pramote, DJ Art and more. The rock star said the campaign has raised more than Bt18 million from participants and the public who wired money in, which will later be donated to 7 hospitals in Northern region to buy medical equipment.

Scot123 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 He is doing more than the junta it's probably quite sad that sticky fingers will be all over this money with many feeling its free money so they are in titled to take as much as they want for themselves. I hope he is astute enough to have trusted people round him and donates equipment and not cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
