A seemingly innocuous house in South Pattaya was the scene this week for a gathering of a large number of Thai ladies with a large number of needles being used to give the occupants a much needed and much welcome high. No these were not needles attached to hypodermic syringes they were knitting needles grasped in the nimble fingers of dozens of volunteers. Feverish activity as the knitters knitted furiously to complete dozens of sweaters, wooly scarves and woolly hats.
Ok I know it has been a little cool in Pattaya just lately but woolly jumpers?
The organiser of the knit in chief knit himself Khun Somsak - secretary of The Lions Club Pattaya
January 11 to the 14th will see a road trip for the Lions Club of Pattaya who will join forces with the Lions Club of Bangkok, Lions Club of Chonburi and Lion cubs from all over Thailand as they travel up north to hand out the sorely needed sweaters and other supplies to poor folks chilling out in the hills around Chiang Mai.
