Christmas is about giving so Tim, Kevin and I decided to become Santa and Santa's Helpers to spread good cheer
amongst the locals of the Doi Saket area.
We met at the Doi Saket Temple coffee shop for a snack and coffee and a plenary session.
The plan?
Ride around and give edible goodies to any child we see.
Simple, random and informal.
We soon developed a strategy whereby Tim or Kevin would ride ahead as a 'spotter' and direct Santa to stop
when a child was sited. This was mainly because Santa's beard was blinding him as he rode along!
It didn't take long for kids and parents to be spotted.
Santa implemented a 'two kanum each' policy.
Tim discovered a kindergarten and the teachers were thrilled to see us as were the little kids.
"Yes, two each" !!
Then a local Council senior arrived with his daughters and he was left with the impression
that 'Farang' bike riders can actually be quite decent people!
At this stop a couple of seniors made their presence known trying to fool us that they were children.
50-60 year old children!
Anyway, they got a goodie or two amongst laughter from the gathered crowd.
Onward.
An enjoyable time was had by all.
The adults were friendly, supportive and fun.
The children were polite and appreciative.
A special treat for him; he got to sit on 'Rebel' the reindeer.
