Retired British serviceman in Phuket hospital after car smash

I think more people would donate if the newspaper didnt show a 70 year old man with a 20 year old ladyboy. The article states his local haunt is Patong. Patong is a known red light area so its correct that people will make assumptions. I cant believe what I am seeing

Its not often id agree with you but you are very right - the wrong picture to be gaining sympathy with.

Perhaps one of Gerry's friends might like to make contact with someone from the below organisation. They are based in Pattaya, and I have heard they do great work there.

The fact that Gerry lives in Phuket may not be a problem.

I am unaware if there is a Phuket branch.

I believe this is the HQ back in the UK.

Yes, it does. I read the thread earlier and then forgot this fact when I posted. Apologies.

I just want to know why the reporter chose to use that photo?
