A family gathering

Local heartthrobs Tawan 'Tle' Jaruchinda and Woranuch 'Noon' Wongsawan keep the children entertained

The Children's Discovery Museum has long been known for the huge crowds of children that gather at the venue for both recreational activities and gaining knowledge at weekends. However, it was particularly busy on April 8, when two television stars, the multi-talented Woranuch "Noon" Wongsawan and Tawan "Tle" Jaruchinda, took over duties as "Friends of Love", representing the "Aeon-rak Pak Jai for His Majesty the King" project, in a special event - The Robot Zoo: Oon-rak Pak Jai for His Majesty the King.

It was a day of love, smiles, laughs and generosity, brightened up by the innocent vivacity of the children and their families, who gathered at the museum to participate in the many activities, including cooking, games and scientific experiments. The afternoon session saw actor and television presenter Kirk Chiller inviting children to take part in the heart-warming "Looking for My Daddy" game, in which the youngsters competed to find their father. The children were also entertained with a mini-concert, The Adventure of Kan Kluay.

Many children also visited a special booth, "Write Heart-Warming Words to HM the King", at which they had the chance to express their loyalty to and love of His Majesty. Not only did families have the opportunity to spend quality time together, but part of their entrance fees were to be donated to the Phra Dabos Foundation, a royal initiative of the King that helps fund the education of children in need.
