Charity-run hero Artiwara “Toon” Kongmalai will take his doctors’ advice and have another day off to rest, resuming his cross-country campaign in Bangkok on Wednesday instead of Tuesday.
Toon arrived in the capital on Sunday and was scheduled to begin Day 33 of his fund-raising run at the King Power headquarters on Tuesday.
Instead, he will leave the King Power offices on Soi Rangnam on Wednesday sometime between 3 and 7am.
Website KaoKonLaKao.com reports that Toon has so far run on 27 days, covered just over 1,300 kilometres and received Bt451.567 million in donations for 11 hospitals.
Injuries to his legs have forced Toon to take several days off to recuperate, raising concerns that he might not be able to complete his planned run all the way from the southern border to Chiang Rai in the North.
Toon yesterday met Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha at the Government House.
