LAMPANG, Oct 18 - Two Norwegians and a Swedish national are roller skiing for charity at 1,000km for a remote school in this northern province.

The trio, led by 67-year-old Norwegian Kalle Kristensen, has been roller skiing on the road since Oct 15 from Chiang Rai, passing through Phayao and Lampang. Their destination is to arrive Nov 4 at the resort town of Pattaya in the eastern province of Chonburi.

The other two men are 65 and 50 years old.

Apart from asking for donations, their activities include selling 'Thailand Tour de Ski' T-shirts to the public.

All proceeds will be donated to a school in Chiang Rai province, where Kristensen's wife was educated, as well as to other schools in need nationwide.

Roller skiing on the road by the trio has received much attention from Thais upcountry.

Mr Kristensen said he wished to expand his team to 200 members and aims to organise the activity every year. (MCOT online news)
