Charity Concert Raises Funds for School Music and Sports Equipment

A popular Pathum Thani restaurant, Somwang Gai Yang, hosted a charity concert featuring artist Sek Loso to fundraise for musical instruments and sports equipment for Wat Bang Poon School students. On July 18, 2025, the restaurant organized the charity concert after learning that many children at the school love playing music but lack adequate instruments because the school's equipment is damaged and insufficient, along with inadequate sports gear. The concert aimed to generate funds to help students acquire musical instruments and sports equipment for learning and practice.

The event was filled with enjoyable activity as community members came together to support the children, providing them access to musical instruments and sports equipment to use their free time productively and stay away from drug use.

The event also included an auction of charcoal artwork by artist Eed Footbat, a musician and visual artist who created a portrait of Sek Loso. The auction attracted enthusiastic bidding from attendees.

Suphorn Gosaletcottum, owner of the restaurant Kruaruaymit in the Talat Thai area of Khlong Luang District, Pathum Thani, won the artwork auction at 25,000 baht and donated an additional 10,000 baht to support the school. In total, the fundraising campaign collected 80,000 baht, which the school principal received in person.

Chalongkan Rungsangyakorn, owner of Somwang Gai Yang, revealed that he learned about the school's needs from the principal and decided to organize the charity concert to mobilize community support. "After learning that some of the school's musical instruments were damaged and insufficient for students interested in music and arts, I wanted to contribute by helping provide music equipment so students can develop their musical abilities and use their free time productively, engaging in meaningful activities away from drug use," he explained.
