Press Release PRESENTATION AMBULANCE II SAWANG BORIBOON RESCUE FOUNDATION

The Sawang Boriboon Foundation South Pattaya Branch is the proud owner of a spanking new, completely outfitted Emergency Medical Services ambulance. This 1.4 million baht ambulance has been a totally charity funded project from the local people in Pattaya, but particularly from the biker sections of the community.
The official hand-over was carried out at the Pinnacle Resort in Na Jomtien, whose GM, the energetic Ingo Rauber, had arranged space around one of the resort’s swimming pools. Overseeing the act of community generosity was Pol. Capt Ittipol Ittisarnronnachai, chief of Pattaya Immigration, and Pol. Col. Nopadol Wongnom, superintendent of Pattaya Police Station.
Michael Strevens, a paramedic from the Sawang Boriboon Foundation South Pattaya and MC of the short ceremony, thanked everyone who had been involved in raising the necessary funds, be their donations large or small, but special mention had to be made of the Biker Daze group of motorcycle clubs which had raised around 400,000 baht with charity functions and also Steve Graham, the MD of ESC (and an ex-biker) who had backed the foundation to be able to get them into the ambulance, even though they were many hundreds of thousands of baht short of the purchase and outfitting price.

The leader of Biker Daze, Erick spoke only a few words, acknowledging the need for Pattaya to have ambulances and emergency services of this caliber, but expressed the hope that none of the Biker Daze riders would ever need to use it!
Undoubtedly this was an example of how the Pattaya community can get behind community projects, and in addition, just how much the ex-pat sector is truly part of the larger community.
