Goodwill On The Mean Streets Of Pattaya

[sharecropper]

I saw these fine lads collecting outside South Pattaya Market for the victims of the Haiti earthquake, wished to take a photo for posterity and decided it was worth 20 baht into the box.

Having lived here a while I did perform rigorous due diligence on these fellows before donating, but I am delighted to say they came up smelling of roses:

ME: 'This go Haiti ching ching?"

THEM: "chai chai".

I did wonder why it was only written in English on the box though, and why one of their mates came up to them in a quiet moment, peered in and had a laugh.

But I know they are doing a fine job, and this photo serves as a timely reminder to donate to the Haiti appeal (although maybe not like this).

Who could we trust with to give cash to be sent to Haiti? Maybe the Glitterman?

Not to be a a no-it-all, but wouldn't the correct way to ask would have been "jing law" or "jing ru" rather than "jing jing"? Jing jing is a statement rather than a question, I believe.

Not wishing to be a no-it-all either but....shouldn't it be a 'Know-it-all'-----sorry guys, couldn't resist.

The bit I cropped with their faces said it all, but I thought it might be beyone the pale if I left them on the photo when I posted on the site.

Funnily enough they took a photo of ME putting my money in the box. You can see the camera in the guy on the left's hand.
