Deftly keeping a roll of toilet paper aloft with skillful kicks, a Bangkok boy’s fast-yet-delicate footwork is going viral overseas today.
A sidewalk stunt to collect money from passers-by for his school, the display of restroom athleticism was caught on tape by Hong Kong-based freelancer Chris Dwyer, who shared it out in a Tweet recently.
“EURO SUPPER 10 scholarships,” reads the sign at his feet. “THANK YOU.”
Nothing to see here. Just an insanely talented school kid juggling a loo roll in the streets of Bangkok to help pay for his studies. He carried on for about another five minutes. His musical accompaniment couldn’t keep up. @tekkerstv #Tekkers @UEFA pic.twitter.com/huqVBBfyzq

We reached out to Dwyer who confirmed that he spotted the talented lad near the Trimurti “Love Shrine” outside of CentralWorld just north of Ratchaprasong Intersection.
Best turn on the sound, as the magical scene is enhanced by the frantic tunes another boy is rocking out on a khaen, a mouth instrument central to traditional music.
Yes, pedantic ones, there is clearly a ball behind him leaning against the railing, but what fun would that be?
