ROYAL ENFIELD CLASSIC
Christmas is about giving so Tim, Kevin and I decided to become Santa and Santa's Helpers to spread good cheer
amongst the locals of the Doi Saket area.

We met at the Doi Saket Temple coffee shop for a snack and coffee and a plenary session.

The plan?
Ride around and give edible goodies to any child we see.
Simple, random and informal.

We soon developed a strategy whereby Tim or Kevin would ride ahead as a 'spotter' and direct Santa to stop
when a child was sited. This was mainly because Santa's beard was blinding him as he rode along!

It didn't take long for kids and parents to be spotted.

Santa implemented a 'two kanum each' policy.

Tim discovered a kindergarten and the teachers were thrilled to see us as were the little kids.

"Yes, two each" !!

Then a local Council senior arrived with his daughters and he was left with the impression
that 'Farang' bike riders can actually be quite decent people!

At this stop a couple of seniors made their presence known trying to fool us that they were children.
50-60 year old children!
Anyway, they got a goodie or two amongst laughter from the gathered crowd.
Onward.

An enjoyable time was had by all.
The adults were friendly, supportive and fun.
The children were polite and appreciative.

A special treat for him; he got to sit on 'Rebel' the reindeer.
