Singer Artiwara "Toon Bodyslam" Kongmalai pays respects to an 81-year-old woman waiting for him in Muang district in Nakhon Si Thammarat on Sunday. Toon started his run at 4.30am and was later greeted by a number of people waiting to give him donations in front of the office of Tha Rua tambon administration organisation (TAO) in Muang district. There, Toon paid respects to an 81-year-old grandmother called Thavorn and received a piggy bank from an 11-month-old girl named Saengthien. To the girl, he said: "When you grow up, I hope you become a doctor and treat me in the future." Toon was to arrive at Wat Phra Mahathat Voramahaviharn in Muang district at about 1pm, when a ceremony would be held for the governor to present him with a 16-million-baht cheque, a donation from businessman Jimmy Chawala.
