Thanks puchooay. Yes, that is where we are, about 20km west of Putthaisong. A good idea and will try it out if I don't find a charity depot where I can just drop off some boxes/bags of stuff. In our village, Ban Nong Waeng, there is only a primary school but there seems to be a plethora of schools in the area generally (and hospitals too-thank you number 9) so there will be plenty of places to try if that is the solution.
