Four young children from the Father Ray Children’s
Village, along with four teenagers from the Father Ray Children’s Home,
recently traveled over to Koh Samui. They were invited to attend an Art
Camp to commemorate the 84th birthday of His Majesty the King later this
year in December.
A very talented artist
from the Father Ray Children’s Home.
Organised by Bangkok Air Co., Ltd. and the Amari Palm
Reef Koh Samui Hotel, the children spent one full day at the Art Camp
with children from twelve local island schools.
For all eight children it was their very first time
traveling on an airplane, and the excitement they felt hid their nerves.
The staff on board treated the children like VIP’s, and as they stepped
off the flight on Koh Samui they were greeted by the staff from Bangkok
Air and transported to the Amari Hotel.
At the Art Camp, renowned Thai artist, Dr. Sankan
Thongmee, and well known art teacher, Adjarn Paiboon Thamruengrit,
visited the all the children, gave advise and helped them with the
portrait of HM the King that they were all asked to produce.
On the final day of their trip the children selected
breakfast at the Amari Hotel, from what one young boy described as the
biggest buffet he had ever seen, before visiting the local market to buy
souvenirs for friends back in Pattaya.
