Santa visits the kids at the Bangkok Pattaya Hospital

By Akshay Singh

Santa Claus made his annual visit to the Bangkok Pattaya Hospital on Saturday December 21. As Santa sat in the main lobby with an enormous bag of chocolates, he was overwhelmed by a group of children, mainly patients from the hospital. Although some of the kids were petrified of the prospect of sitting on some unknown old man’s lap, others confidently strode up to receive their gifts, some even politely gave a ‘wai’ to Mr. Claus.

Santa Claus hands out chocolates during his annual visit to the Bangkok-Pattaya Hospital.

Every year the Bangkok Pattaya Hospital finances Santa’s visit, a small price to pay to see a rare smile on these children’s faces. The event seems to have become very popular with the children, something they can look forward to every year.
