The Funeral of the late Michael (Mike) Franklin took place on the 15th January at Wat Chaimongkol on South Pattaya Road.
Mike Franklin who died on the 7th January was a well known and highly respected figure in Pattaya, being a popular television presenter and former Golf Chairman at the Pattaya Golf Society. Often known as Mr. Golf, Mike Franklin was responsible over the years for raising the prominence and standards of golf in the area. The service was attended by 500 people, many of which were his friends and colleagues.
I was shocked to learn of Mikes untimely death! He may not have been a global celebrity but certainly Mike was loved and respected in this part of the world.
He was a wonderful man who went out of his way to help people not as fortunate as himself. Many people benefitted from his kindness and good nature and I send my sincere condolences too Mike's family and friends.
RIP.
