Senior citizens and public-sector volunteers joined
Pattaya’s mayor and members of the city council in a joint exercise program
launched with the inspiration of HM the King.
Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome opened the March 24 “Exercise
for HM the King” event at Banglamung School’s sports field. Activities
included hula-hooping for seniors, yoga and traditional dance.
The day also offered free blood pressure checks, good
health practices and the benefits of exercise. Other sports on offer
included tai-chi, aerobics and simple stretching.
The sports day is an annual event meant to promote
exercise and good health and well as honor HM the King who is now in his
85th year.
