I was asked this question a couple of weeks ago. Its been on my mind ever since. I couldn't really think of any good deeds I did in 2013, that werent for mine or my families benefit. It bothers me a bit, I make good money in bkk and have a good life here, but I cant think of any instances where I've given back.

What about you lot?

Feeling guilty about not giving back ?

Paid all the expenses for two Thai girls attending high-school.

(OK, so I am married to one of them, but it still counts)

Well, I tried, but I guess the threads about how much a wife should cost and how much her allowance should be and what kind of girl she is and does she want to kill you off are far more important.

I'm not a Buddhist but most of the village dogs have had a good meal from me last year many times over.

I think a big part of doing good is not telling anyone about it. Otherwise doing good may become confused with seeking approval of others or pride.

You're married to a high school girl ?....not even in Uni yet ?

Crikey....cradle snatcher much

Can't believe the moralistic tone people take - nothing wrong with marrying high school girls as long as the parents and local officials approve, otherwise none of your business.

Even back home, many jurisdictions are 16, some are 14.

Self-righteous prudes and religious fanatics trying to impose their views all around the world.

Just because the west keeps postponing growing up later and later, most western people well into their 20s are still in adolescent mode, permanent students some don't take a fully adult view of the world until well into their 30s.

Nuts to that!

I (periodically) support dozens of single mothers in Phuket.

Help them get their start. . .

I didn't kill anybody.

Mathayom 6 is over 18 years of age isn't it?

As soon as I stepped foot in this country I have done something good every year, not just one, cos nobody in this country has given me anything, except Mrs.Trans of course.

There are a lot of Thai women who do not have high school diploma and most of them are in their 20th+. Lucky for them now many of local schools offer the diploma, all they have to do is study, take classes and take the test. I think that is what FiftyTwo's wife is doing, working on her high school diploma, not necessary she is in her teen. Got to be nice, guys.

I paid for 1/3 of a good friends new Motorbike. His burnt up and he was low on cash so I paid the balance and he is now happily on the road again.

I have been there chum, took me a while to take in how it works. Mrs.Trans told me the error of my "nice" ways. She was right.

Agree. If you need to advertise what you've done, then you're just doing it for selfish gain.

It's not attractive and seldom impresses anyone.
