And Pick Up Money Too

10,000 baht in prizes went to the winners of a singing contest to increase
public awareness of the fight against drugs.

Chiang Mai Municipality held a range of activities at Thapae Gate grounds
to mark World Anti-Drugs Day. One of the events was the choral contest,
under the overall theme "To be Number One", with cash prizes put up by the
municipality.

The winners were an ensemble from the Kawila district area. They received
5,000 baht and a shield of honor. First runner-up was the team from

the drug problem and as a response to the "People Power to get rid of
Drugs" campaign.
