HOW TO DONATE in Thailand Directly

Another way folks can donate long-distance is to log onto the Thai Red Cross website:

http://www.redcross.or.th/english/home/index.php4

Donations to the Thai Red Cross will assist their disaster relief efforts in all the affected areas, including Khao Lak, Phi Phi, and the coasts of Phang-Nga and Krabi, the two hardest-hit provinces.

Dear All,

Latest update from Patong, I had asked the Deputy Director of Patong Hospital about how the money is being allocated and I would like to inform you of the following allocations:

- As of now the hospital is treating all tsunami victims at no charge

- Money for the family to cover the transport of the deceased

- Proper coffin and burial for unidentified deceased

- Money for foreigners admitted that have lost their belongings

- All donations of staple items are being handed out everyday at the hospital

This is the info I have now and will try to update more later on in the day.

I would give this advice to those who are interested in coming down to help in Phuket, although we do need all the help we can get but I would suggest to contact your local embassy and inquire whether your services can be best put to use in Bangkok or Phuket. For those that have planned to come down, on your arrival please contact City Hall (Sala kang) to be given a proper posting at the need places/hospitals since City Hall is the center of all operations currently.

One more, please inform anyone needing to search for names to go here, it is the most consolidated as of now:

http://www.phuketitcity.com

Lastly, I just wanted to take this time to extend my appreciation to all of those that have contributed both financially and mentally. I hope you all have a safe new year's and all the best to all of you and your loved ones.

Best regards,

Annie

Hello to all-I just joined in order to say my heart goes to all whom are hurt, physically, emotionally, financially, economically, etc.! I cannot keep away from the television here in the USA-this is such a devastating and tramatic event. I am a single mother here in the USA and do not make a lot of money, but we (my 13- year-old son, Brandon and I) wanted to make a small donation to the Thai Red Cross and have just finished doing so. Although it does not feel like much to do, I guess if everyone helps in any way they can, it will amount to some help with supplies, clothing, medicines and such. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the people, local and foreign who are affected by this-will try to help again when we can, financially. Until then, God's speed and our love to all!

Dear Thai Society of Ontario members, friends and families,

You have heard the news about the tsunami in S.E Asia. Thousands were killed and thousands had left homeless and facing infectious disease in the South of Thailand. We have worked with various Thai organizations to set up to accept the donations to help buy drinking water for the survivors and body bags for the deceased.

If you wish to donate, you may send a personal cheque /money order or bank draft payable to “Royal Thai Embassy Relief Fund” and send to Royal Thai Embassy, 180 Island Park Drive, Ottawa, Ont. K1Y OA2. Please make sure to have your return address, the Embassy will send you an acknowledge letter.

Chiang Mai Collection point.

Along the Ping river, outside Warorot market there is a government collection site for donations of money,clothes and food etc.

[lukamar]

Numerous people have asked for a place to make donations through PayPal but none were available. We have setup our E-Store to accept Paypal donations. Once they are collected we will wire transfer them to Thailand to help Thai people start to rebuild their lives. If any Thai members have had family members affected they can contact us directly in Thai language at [email protected].

I haven't been able to verify it on the web, or even a contact address, but spokesman for the South Asia Earthquake Relief Fund, Dr. Budhendra Doobay, said on radio news here in Canada yesterday, "You may contribute to organizations like the Red Cross, or UNICEF if you wish, but 30% of that money will go to administrative costs, whereas with our organization every dollar goes directly to aid"

I have waited until final confirmation from my bank but the Thai Red Cross page has an online hotspot that take you to amount page/name address page/then to secure payment page. There is a place to enter Visa card number/date/code and you are done. First authorization entry at your bank/card will be "unknown merchant" but final payment will be Thai Red Cross Bangkok when payment is cleared.

This was done on a US issued card without using US billing address.
