A one-year-old Sakhon Nakhon girl has been declared winner of the first prize in the drawing of postcards to select the name Lin Bing for the baby panda at the Chiang Mai Zoo.

Praifa Leehakhom, the first prize winner, is entitled to one million baht in prize money, a car and a trip to China. A boy named Kris from Bangkok and a woman identified only as Mrs Kwanchit of Nakhon Sawan were declared winners of the second prize, 100,000 baht cash and a car.

Forty other winners of other prizes were also picked in the drawing of postcards which voted for the baby panda to be named Lin Bing.

Lin Bing was born to two giant pandas Xuang Xuang and Lin Hui, which are on loan from China.

Most be a very precocious one year old to think of a Panda name at her age. Unless her parents (or maybe parent) are/is exceptional, she will never see the money, the trip or the car when she grows up. Very pathetic indeed.

Poor thing. At one year old she will never see the money unless it is put in a trust account at the bank. Mom and Dad will drive the car into the ground and or sell it. As for the trip to China she will never remember it. Maybe her dowry will go up when they sell her off. Typical Thailand taking even from a baby. She needs to be protected and her winnings secure.
