Children seeking medical services at Queen Sirikit National Institute of Child Health, Rajvithee, were thrilled today when Star Wars characters stormed into the venue.
Donning costumes of Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker and and Imperial troopers, they hosted activities to entertain the children and handed out toys.
These people are members of Thailand's Star Wars fan club, established to demonstrate their passion in the popular epic saga. Calling themselves "501st Thailand Garrison", the club has carried out a mission to do good deeds - like blood donation or children hospital visits - on May 4.
Each year, on May 4, people around the globe celebrate Star Wars Day. Recognising Star Wars on May 4 stems from a famous phrase in the saga "May the force be with you". For years, May the 4th is celebrated as Star Wars Day annually.
