A noble cause, but maybe on dodgy ground.

 

The term “work” in Thai law is defined very broadly, covering both physical and mental activities, whether or not for wages or other form of compensation. Even volunteer or charity work requires a work permit in Thailand.

I've walked from Pattaya to Jomtien many times, but cannot see where they get 33 km from ?

 

"Valentine raised 71,000 baht for the foundation by walking 33 kilometres from Pattaya to Jomtien Beach on Valentine’s Day,"

Maybe he stopped off at every bar in every Soi.?

Let´s see here now. 200k??? Then it´s missing 800k, right?

Moreover, the guy got taken for a fool. Just by walking 33 km, he raised 71k baht. That´s a whopping 2,15k per km. Not bad! When he later walked 968 km, he only raised 200k. Here James only made 206 baht per km. That´s cheap! Should have continued to walk in Chonburi, then he only had to walk 93 km to make same much.

Also seems like he is a relative of Mike Dundee.
