Good. Very, very good. Congratulations to all the volunteers on doing an excellent job cleaning up the aftermath.

I was down there and the mood was quite joyous. A chance to something positive. Lots of people in matching outfits, like a team effort. Even schoolkids. Almost everybody had friends taking photos of them working.

Yes very very good to see and great pics but a word to all the farangs that want to help make sure you have a volunteer work permit or you could be in trouble. Also It would be nive if the Government would anounce that foriegn people CAN help without having a work pemit but then again that would leave it to wide open for them in the future so I dont see it happening.

Some areas if a Thai ses you working with no work permit and figures you are taking a job away from a Thai where thay could be getting paid that could also lead to trouble.

I LOVE seeing these pics etc though and hope it will bring spirits up as I'm sure everyone needs that. Good luck to ALL the Thai's !!!!

Give it a break! Nobody is going to be arrested for working without a permit....

I was last year for volunteering so I wouldn't do it again.

Come on, the police were overjoyed that farangs were cleaning ... so they can sit in the shadow and watch

I think farangs should do a lot more volunteer work in Bangkok , maybe the city will look cleaner than before....

I was down around Big C for about 4 hours volunteering. There were plenty of police and military around, but no one cared that a farang was helping. I did not get hassled, but did receive a lot of thank-yous

I have been told that unless an election date is declared within the next month then there will be more trouble.
