If you're feeling a bit tired, don't lay down on one of these. These beds are for racing, not sleeping. Okay, so it might sound a bit unusual, but it's for a good cause. Hundreds of residents and tourists in Pattaya, Thailand raced their four-posters to the finish for charity. It's the city's fifth year holding the race. The event began five years ago when participants used to race hospital beds. It's evolved into a much more colorful competition, but the goal is the same. May the best bed win.
