Good for him

They foolishly gave it, now go enjoy it..

In these sorts of circumstances one must use common sense. When we are talking about a large sum, more money than that guy has probably ever seen in his life, there would need to be a reliable third party involved, in order to beleive that the right thing would be done with the money. Of course this went south. What can be expected of him? 

About sums up the scum you are dealing with here.

such donation bases should be held in a bank trust account with stated purpose LIMITED to and ONLY to do kidney transplant.

 

bank employees would be less likely to embezzle such funds as it is public high profile.

Why is anyone suprised?

most Thais only think of themselves, I’m sure he believes he’s entitled to this money and can do what he wants with it !

I bet the family were messing with the on/off switch when he was getting his dialysis.

 

"Are you gonna buy the pick-up reu plao?"

who cares about kidney flushes! - he can well afford engine flushes now!

Just this morning came knocks at our door. It was our friend soliciting for a young woman 30 ish who died and whose body was brought to the local Mosque, no family, no money. We donated to provide for post-death bath and burying clothes.  Here is the kind of charity that won't be spent foolishly. RIP poor young woman. We need to be grateful for what we have and give where truly needed.

Stupid is, as stupid does ! 

 

And as mentioned in previous comments, his actions are likely to hurt others who are genuine and not stupid..

But on the other his lack of disregard for their actions is quite disappointing and suggests he values his own health less than those who donated to help ease his suffering. 

 

 

Some things people need to get over once donated it is his to do as he pleases do not cry later if he cannot meet expecttations

Is there a rota for all those who contributed to avail of the pickup on a pro rata basis?

"Not I", said Cereal.

This says every single thing you need to know about so many Thai people. The ultimate goal is to have the most expensive funeral pyre the temple has ever seen. Preferably with other people's money.

That's a good selfie Gracas

Showing face is more important than health to Thais. All the way to the BBQ.

Good for him. As if there would have been any other outcome of a random destitute dirt kicker receiving 800k all at once. It’s probably more money than he’s entire family had ever seen.

 

The problem isn’t that he spent the money on something else. Of course he was going to do that. The problem is that everyone had unrealistic expectations.

 

Poor people stay poor for a reason.

 

I hope he enjoys what time he has left.

Suppose he  thought "I've got two kidneys, but I've never had a new pickup truck ".

Spending it as if he won the lotto.im not a cheap Charlie and always tip for good service but one thing I never do is donate to charity.last time was £100 when tsunami hit Thailand and since then seen how it was embezzled and wasted with only a small percentage going to the victims,never again.

And now many of the tsunami warning beacons are floating around with flat batteries.

Surely that is fraud and a crime if he is using the money for something other than what he said he would?  That coupe in America got into trouble for faking helping a homeless man a while ago and asking for money off cloud funding thing.

 

I never quite understand why people give money to a complete individual stranger they have no personal interaction with (often in another country), and just trust what they are saying 100 percent.

 

 

Yep, that' the main reason why I NEVER give to ANY of those organizations anymore. Used to a long time ago, 'til I found out through personal experience waht a scam most of these outfits ( and many times the people receiving the "benefits" ) really are. Several times I have personally known the person in need, and I have helped out...big time. But now, if I'm not acquainted with the "victim".....NOTHING!

They don't have beacons.only sirens that are knackered.

Yes it is but he's a sad person who's kidney is nearly a raisin and god will judge him????.the donations was for treatment not for a nice car and sorting out the families debt.

No conscience and no principle this lad. He obviously only considers 1 person in this world and his name is ME. Do these people sleep well at night? One think for certain this will now make it more difficult for honest people to get assistance.

That's a nice general sweeping statement.  

I come from a background with single mother who worked hard to feed two kids.  I studied hard in school.  I live now in Bangkok making decent salary.

 

It must be nice to be so rich to put himself above everyone else.  Have a good weekend.

Why was the money not put in a Trust Fund rather than just handed over to a person with no financial experience and a family deeply in debt.

Thailand’s warning system includes warning towers, a network of detection buoys in the sea and public announcement systems.

 

The thai government indicated that the total system has about 2000 pieces and some needed maintenance and batteries replaced. 

 

Also comments about they are set about 10% of thier volume and need turning up.

 

 Prasert Kunneang, public relations officer at the National Disaster Warning Center in Bangkok, said the tsunami warning system is tested daily and Thailand is prepared in the event of a future tsunami.
