I think it's a great thing! 

Anyone knows if one can go by to donate some money for the cause? Only between 11-2?

I'm planning to do a month long scooter trip through Thailand and was wondering if anyone would know if it's possible to rent a scooter in Chiang Mai and then give it back in Bangkok (or the other way around)?

Also, any safety advice?

General routes will be Mae Hong Son loop, Chiang Mai -> Bangkok, maybe some in the Krabi area.

Have been driving in Thailand for 2 years so got some experience. Mostly in Chiang Mai city though...my general approach to these trips is:

- Always keep far left on the road, make space for fast cars from behind

- Expect people to cut corners or drive on the wrong side

- Always drive between 9am - 4pm to avoid drunk drivers, extra care on public holidays

- Avoid driving when it's raining / roads are wet

- Frequent breaks, not more than 4-5 hours of driving per day

- wear a breathing mask

Maybe someone has something to add ????
