Santa Claus made a special trip to visit young patients and those who are
less fortunate, as Bangkok Hospital Pattaya organized their annual Charity
Christmas Bazaar.
The Dec. 14 celebration featured musical performances by children from the
Father Ray Foundation, Mercy Center, International School of Chonburi, and Seven
Flower Kindergarten School. The Pattaya Christian Club also performed.
The party also featured booths selling merchandise for the Father Ray
Foundation, Baan Jing-Jai Foundation, Scandinavian Expats Club, Banglamung Home
for the Elderly, Fountain of Life Center, Jesters Care for Kids, Pattaya
International Ladies Club, German-Speaking Ladies Club, Sparrow Home for
Children, Take Care Kids Thailand Foundation, foreign police volunteers,
Y.W.C.A. Bangkok-Pattaya Center and others.
A charity raffle offered prizes including hotel stays, electrical appliances,
restaurant vouchers, luggage and more. Profits from sales were donated to help
the poor and increasing income for the community for a better way of life.
Closing the festival, a bearded Santa Claus invited children to take a group
picture, visited patients and handed out gifts.
