Popular Post herfiehandbag Posted January 18 Popular Post Share Posted January 18 (edited) I retired as a teacher two years ago. In my closet I have 10 short sleeve shirts, some worn, some virtually unworn. I will never wear them, so, "free to a good home" as they say. 16" collar, XXL. White, cream and blue. Message me if interested. I can bring them to Chiang Rai city. I hate throwing things away! Edited January 18 by herfiehandbag 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time that I 'throw things away' I put them on a table and the Thai staff help themselves. They take everything, no matter how old or tatty. Could you do the same outside your house? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morch Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 I feel cheated - was expecting pictures of cute puppies. Visa requirements being what they are, guess most foreigners could afford some shirts. But for a whole lot of locals, it's maybe a more valuable gift. We give stuff to the lady who picks up plastic/cardboard etc., to the proper garbage collectors, to eh Myanmar workers passing to/from the market (mostly fruit), and so on. Sometimes just leave it (in an orderly fashion) outside the gate - usually disappears within a couple of hours. Many temples have some arrangements where stuff can be donated to/through them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai staff you have probably go straight to a secondhand shop, and sell anything they can there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they sell it - so what, if it helps to improve their lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live at the end of a soi which leads into a rubber plantation and then to some paddy fields, so no passing traffic. If no one here wants them I might put the on the village "bus stop" for people to helo themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignis Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Anything good that I no longer want is put in a clear plastic bag and left on top of the rubbish bin, when the bin men come notice it goes into there cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pomchop Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Good for OP. I have given away all sorts of stuff either to local ma/pa who run nearby store as somebody passing by always seems to take it... or just set a box of stuff out in big C parking lot or anywhere people pass by....it is usually all gone very quickly. Then I come back to USA where the incredible amount of stuff , often very good stuff, is thrown out every day is mindboggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
