ANCHALEE KONGRUT
Wristband collectors in Thailand want a local campaign to help victims of violence in the deep South.
The craze over wristbands which was once limited to teenagers, has become a hot topic on , a popular Thai webboard, after a member floated the idea of producing and selling local items, with the proceeds donated to those affected by the southern violence.
The idea was initiated by Ritthisak Tsapniwat, 25, early this month when Hat Yai was hit by three bombs. He posted an image of a wristband in the colours of the national flag.
Mr Ritthisak, who uses ''Elvis'' as pseudo name, wrote: ''Western countries have been able to solicit a huge amount of donations from selling wristbands. I don't know why no one in Thailand tries to do the same. A number of Thai people are struggling to own wristbands from abroad. Now that there have been blasts in Hat Yai, we should do something to help.''
The response has been overwhelming and positive. Hundreds of members posted supportive messages, offering alternative designs. Companies want to help in production.
Mr Ritthisak on Monday called for a vote for slogans to be imprinted on the products, narrowing down from six _ Rak Ter Prathed Thai (Love Thailand), Ruam Jai Thai Took Duang (Unite All Thai Hearts), Rao Kue Khon Thai (We are Thai people), Thai Nee Rak Sa-ngob (We Thais Love Peace), Khon Thai Mai Ting Kan (We Thais Never Foresake Thais), Ruam Lued Nua Chad Chuea Thai (Unite Thais in Flesh and Blood) and Kerd Ruam Daen Thai (Born Together in Thailand).
Some members suggested other slogans such as ''Leave Me Alone'' as a message for the government to allow southerners to be more independent.
One member even suggested ''Thai Rak Thai'' as a slogan.
Not all members embraced the local wristband idea, however. Some were concerned the proposed items might widen political rife and glamorise violence in the South.
While not owning a single item, Mr Ritthisak said he liked the idea of a charity wristband. ''Unlike in the West where the money goes to charity, wristbands in Thailand are a commercial item and are sold at inflated prices,'' he said.
