Fundraiser for Phuket yachtsman Boo Meesuk
PHUKET: The Ao Chalong Yacht Club (ACYC) in Phuket will host a fundraising event on Friday for local yacht enthusiast Boo Meesuk.
About two and a half weeks ago, Boo fell seriously ill while delivering a yacht to Phuket. His condition was critical by the time the rest of the crew managed to get him to a hospital in Terengganu, Malaysia.
He is now in a coma in ICU. He had been recovering from tuberculosis and recently caught pneumonia.
A fundraiser has been organized through the ACYC to help with medical costs and ensure a family member can be with him in Malaysia as he recovers.
Friday’s event is open to members and non-members throughout the day. There will be 50 baht Tiger beers, a raffle at 7:30pm and a donation box.
If you would like to donate a raffle prize or cannot attend but would like to make a monetary donation, please email Mick Kealy: mick@octopusasia.com.
