snoop1130 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Toon bodyslam doc makes fresh appeal for hospitals By Asaree Thaitrakulpanich, Staff Reporter The ‘2,215’ production team while filming Toon’s run. BANGKOK — The rock star runner behind a cross-country charity run that raised millions for public hospitals hopes a film about his experience will reignite the public’s desire to give. Moviegoers have until Sunday to catch “2,215 Believe, Crazy, Bravely Stepping Forward,” or simply “2,215” for the number of kilometers run by Artiwara “Toon Bodyslam” Kongmalai, whose run late last year between the southernmost and northernmost points of Thailand became a national rallying point.

Popular Post Sir Dude Posted September 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted September 13, 2018 Government should be embarrassed that someone like this has to appeal for funds for hospitals when said government is quite happy to squander money on submarines, slash the education budget and buy tanks from China plus all the other misspent money. Tbh, I have no idea where they are getting all these funds from for the continuous spurge of give-aways to all and sundry when basic services are left wanting like hospitals...not good. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is best. The same for "Toon Bodyslam" Best to ignore the chronic corruption,utter laziness and cargo cultism.. Maybe things will get better some day.. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I have no information on what the money raised has been alocated to, the absence of any reports is distressing. I would have thought some grand hand over ceremony. Maybe I missed it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artisi Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 From memory there was some kind of list showing where the money was / went allocated, but for follow up - very doubtful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst thing about this is that no individual can change anything in Thailand-the penalty of the hive mind. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike324 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Whats worst is that, money raised by Toon will be misspent by corrupt officials in hospitals as well. Ok save for some of the good folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
