Bangkok-A recent gala evening in Bangkok was dedicated to children who have difficult childhoods. Queen Silvia of Sweden, who founded “The World Childhood Foundation” decades ago, has helped raise over 60 million dollars worldwide. In Bangkok, the event was organized in collaboration with the Thai organization “Safeguardkids,” which also contributes significant funds nationally.

Over four million baht were donated during the evening, attended by only 70 guests including Dr. Darin Phanthusak, a prominent figure in this organization, is well-known in Pattaya and co-owns establishments such as Tiffany’s Theatre, Woodland Hotel, La Ferme, and La Baguette.

 

Despite the festive atmosphere and Queen Silvia dancing to ABBA’s hit “Dancing Queen” (a song composed for her wedding), the evening’s serious purpose remained at the forefront for all attendees.

Have a video? 😂

How nice for a Royal to dedicate time and money for this event, and well done to the 70 guests for raising 4 million baht, on average 57K baht per guest.
