Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok colleagues & distinguished guests, and General Manager Khun Amanda, may I congratulate all of you for this great FANtastic Fundraiser initiative in support of the care & education of underprivileged children at Father Joe’s Mercy Centre. Kudos to colleagues and “fans” alike for going all out to raise funds in excess of one million baht for this inaugural charity walk/run. The BMA is also happy to help facilitate use of Lumpini Park on this special occasion for a very worthy cause. And now without further ado, may I declare open the FANtastic Run or Walk (fire starting pistol)…
