What a lot of people don't know is that aproxematly 75% of charity donations go to the charity organisers as adminsitation funds and most of that go to the chairman/woman.
Very little actually makes its way to the people who need it most.
About 15 years ago in Western Australia the police minister was pulled up for being the head of about ten charities and was earning more money from her charity work than her actual salary as a minister and was ordered to step down from those charities

A fews years back I was walking down the road in Hat Yai when I almost tripped over a begger, he had all of his arms and legs and from what I could see he was just dressed in ripped clothing and had dirt all over him, he looked at me and made this gesture
and handed out his bowl, just then I noticed that he had a cheap gold watch on but it was sparkling clean and looked quite new. I looked at it pionted and said in my best Thai "Nalica tong suay mak mak" he laughed and withdrew his bowl, as I walked down the road, I turned back and saw him get up take off the watch and put in his poket, just as his next victim arrived.Thanks for taking the time to read my post

Nice post from the OP and some witty posts from others, very nice.
I am thankful for being able to walk away from a bad marriage and life and to be able to start a new life and new marriage.
I am thankful for being able to meet my current wife, who has only ever asked me for love and understanding, has stayed with me through thick and thin, allowing me to own properties and buildings in Thailand and Oz without asking for a cent.
I am thankful for her family accepting me as a member of the family as a brother and a son, they have never called me Farung always calling me Luuk or Pi and never asking me for anything, just to undersand them.
I am thankful for being able to mend the fences with my sister, after 4 years of estrangement and able to reconnect with my lovely niece, which filled my wife full of joy to have her sister inlaw and niece back in her life again.
I am thankful for being able to work my way up from the workshop floor to the dizzy heights of project managment and having the good sense to pull the pin before I became burnt out and lost like many of my work mates.
I am thankful for having the opportunity to have been able to work and travel to some of the most amazing places, most of which most people have never heard of that you will never see in a travel brouchure.
I am thankful for having a happy and heathy life.

Hi Kannot,
I love your post and the amusing reply's it has generated.
I have just one question, Were you wearing a shirt with a large anarchy sign on it at the time of said repairs?
If you have been living in LOS for a while now you should know that the word Work is an offensive four letter word for Thais.

Its called a pick axe in W.A
the local thai hardware store will sell the axe section for about 150-250 baht the you have to get the handle for 100-200 Baht.
Its called" job" in Thai but that covers garden hoe, shovel any digging tool, so just ask for Job and they will show you all of the digging tools and then you can pick which one you need

"Australia
Australia has long faced a petrol (gasoline) sniffing problem in isolated and impoverished aboriginal communities. Although some sources argue that sniffing was introduced by United States servicemen stationed in the nation's Top End during World War II[51] or through experimentation by 1940s-era Cobourg Peninsula sawmill workers,[52] other sources claim that inhalant abuse (such as glue inhalation) emerged in Australia in the late 1960s.[4] Chronic, heavy petrol sniffing appears to occur among remote, impoverished indigenous communities, where the ready accessibility of petrol has helped to make it a common substance for abuse.
In Australia, petrol sniffing now occurs widely throughout remote Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory, Western Australia, northern parts of South Australia and Queensland. The number of people sniffing petrol goes up and down over time as young people experiment or sniff occasionally. "Boss", or chronic, sniffers may move in and out of communities; they are often responsible for encouraging young people to take it up.[53]
A 1983 survey of 4,165 secondary students in New Lydiate showed that solvents and aerosols ranked just after analgesics (e.g., codeine pills) and alcohol for drugs that were abused. This 1983 study did not find any common usage patterns or social class factors.[4]The causes of death for inhalant users in Australia included pneumonia, cardiac failure/arrest, aspiration of vomit, and burns. In 1985, there were 14 communities in Central Australia reporting young people sniffing. In July 1997, it was estimated that there were around 200 young people sniffing petrol across 10 communities in Central Australia. Approximately 40 were classified as chronic sniffers. There have been reports of young Aboriginal people sniffing petrol in the urban areas around Darwin and Alice Springs.
In 2005, the Government of Australia and BP Australia began the usage of opal fuel in remote areas prone to petrol sniffing.[54] Opal is a non-sniffable fuel (which is much less likely to cause a high) and has made a difference in some indigenous communities".
Stating facts is not racisim.
