A HARROGATE charity delivered the "Thai-M Of Your Life" at a beach party.
Tuk-tuks, Thai boxing displays, exotic dancers, street sellers, and a topless rendition of the Haka by rugby pin-up Robbie Paul made sure
Yorkshire revellers had the "Thai-M" of their lives as they raised £30,000 for a rare bone disease charity.

Harrogate property developer Andrew Carnell, one of fewer than 20 known cases of Melo in the UK who launched the charity, said: "Every single penny of the £30,000 will go straight towards the fight against
Melorheostosis and will help fund the world's only research post here in the UK."
