Pattaya, Thailand-In 2020, in 90 days, 27,000 meals in total were distributed on Thappraya Soi 5. at the instigation of Mr. Gachoud Olivier, a Swiss citizen. We originally covered this last year here.

 

This charity effort took place to help the needy, hungry, homeless, and jobless affected by the thousands in the Pattaya area due to Covid-19 restrictions, closures, and related measures implemented to attempt to control the spread of the virus.

 

The situation in 2021 being still worrying, and the businesses related to tourism being, for the most part, closed as of April 10th, 2021, also having repercussions on other activities, Mr. Gachoud and his friends Farangs and Thais, started again this operation of delivering one free meal per day to the more destitute.

Well done... but remember "no good deed goes unpunished"

Highly commendable but don't get caught

He deserve a medal.

Arguably, Mr. Gachoud Olivier is "all go - and no show". He has earned my respect.

Imagine the "loss of face" those Thais are enduring. Very sad indeed.

 

This situation reminds me that "desperate men make desperate moves", thus caution is the operative word.

Come to think of it he would probably just prefer a smooth ride down at the immigration office come visa time.

Yes there is a few in that photo  but  remember the line from "Total Recall"

Benny:
Hey man, I've got five kids to feed!

Douglas Quaid:
Then take them to the dentist.   ( in this case take them to the food handout line)

Unlikely.

In the usual order (first name, familiy name) the donor is Mr. Olivier Gachaud.

Dr. Olivier is Dr. Olivier Eric Meyer.
