The mayor of Prachuap Khiri Khan - a man known as "Mayor Gear" - has called for a number of senior officials to forego their salaries this month.

 

Instead, the money raised will go to buying PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) for foundations and medical staff involved in Covid-19 work.

 

The suggestion, that is set to raise 720,000 baht, was well received by Thai netizens.

Just wondering approximately how much do they make per month? Thai government is always waiting donations from other countries.

There should just be a cut in military spending and  give that to medical staff.
