His aim was to raise Bt700 million for 11 public hospitals under the banner “Kao Kon La Kao”, (“Take One Step Each”) from his starting point in Yala’s Betong district on Wednesday morning. Artiwara ended Saturday’s run in Pattani after a 5.20am start from Yala’s Muang district. He had planned a five-hour run to reach Wat Thanapimuk in Pattani, but suffered a foot injury in the heavy rain. The 38-year-old singer eventually made Pattani at 2pm, where local officers welcomed him and a cheering crowd gave him a garland of money, took selfies and showed him moral support. He was protected by military, police and security officers, who allowed fans to touch the tired rock star.
