VIP treatment

M recently delivered three envelopes from SBAC.
Two contained passes to the parade grandstands





A third envelope contained an apparent form letter.
Obviously composed by a Thai English Teacher,
I call it Tinglish, a bit difficult to read English.
The basic jest of the letter, 200 students from S-BAC will participate in the parade.

Not until I re-read the letter three days later did I notice that it was an invite for financial support.
Sorry folks, with less than ten day notice I can only come up with Bt 4,000.
If I would have gotten more advance notice I could have donated more. Fixed income here.

Parade participation isn't cheap:
Costume rentals, transportation, food and drink, decorations, make-up....

Makes you appreciate this festival even more knowing that it's all done with donations.
