You might send them some of your lucky charms.

Just a thought.

 

Have you seen the video regarding the teacher who accepts a blind pupil into her class?

I think she was blind.

I witnessed a Thai woman pay a 600,000 baht hospital bill for a foreigner she didn't even know!!!!

My neighbor found my lost phone and only wanted a thousand baht to return it.
That's nice.

A friend of mine put the house and bank account in his Thai wife's name but to be honest, I think it was the beginning stages of Alzheimer's disease.

I thought that Costas was very generous in sharing with us his doubts about his next pair of shoes...

As was Neverdie in introducing the delicacy of Tasmanian Ant Cheese

I know an expat who is raising the daughter of a friend who died in a road accident. 

 

The child's Thai mother abandoned her and she would absolutely had a very bleak life ahead of her had the expat friend of her father not stepped in and selflessly raised his friend's daughter as his own. 

 

I know the guy struggles himself to make ends meet, but he has given everything and done everything in his power to help this child in life. 

 

One of the biggest men I know. 

 

I know too that this is a story repeated time and time again - anyone raising other people's children as their own. 

 

It does not get bigger than that.

Speaking to the driver before a minibus trip from Mor Chit to Rayong, I mentioned that sometimes minibus trips scared me. We arrived 30 minutes ahead of schedule.

 

To this day, I think in his own mind he thought that the less time I spent in the minibus the less time I would be scared.

 

After changing the underpants and having a shower after the trip I nearly understood his logic.

I know of 3 very kind members on this forum (op included) who donated 500k baht to tourist authority of Thailand. In these days of uncertainty I am sure they appreciate the kind gesture.

 I would recommend to you to go and get it also.

It shows my generosity to TAT.

By the way, did the long user name bring you any luck?

Because you are bored and have nothing else to do except posting snidey comments.

Of course I am alive and healthy.  No one can change that.  The last person who tried got his nose broken.

A married friend of mine had a gek for about 5 years. She was a really sweet girl. She decided that she wanted to start a family before it was too late. She met a nice professional Thai guy her age 25 and then asked my friend if she could start to date this guy as he was very interested in her and a good man. My friend was not angry and wished her good luck and stepped back. A few weeks later on her birthday my friend gave her a name brand pocket book as a gift. When she opened it she also found 1 million baht and a nice letter wishing her good luck with her new relationship and thanking her for being so honest for so many years. She has went on to marry the Thai guy and now has a lovely family... Great girl and a good guy my friend was in taking care of the people he deeply cared about and not the me me me thinking that so many people engage in. Not saying it is right but My friend's wife knew about his gek and did not really care as long as he did not talk about it.

I know an English teacher who gave one hour private English lessons to poor kids after school. He charged ten baht (because "nothing free is worth having"), and did this for the better part of four years.

 

But another foreigner reported him for no work permit. So he had to quit.

The farang husband of my Thai landlord paid for and put 5 houses in her name, before he died. I think that was very generous of him.

 

He died nearly 2 months ago and she is now in Norway to visit her new farang boyfriend. She is a true example of education not being important to succeed in life.

Success in life, IMHO,  is not conning old farang out of houses in return for rubbing their 'poom pui'.

I am sure she does not think that far :-)

 

Right now her focus seems to be the next farang husband, after "grieving" for nearly 2 months. :)

This relates to all the drunks on soi 2 in Pattaya, they have paid out their life savings to most of the bar girls, now they have just enough money left to buy 3 or 4 beers all day, so they sit and tell their stories, destitute.

Now with the new laws for overstay, they'll have to return home.

 

This is one of the most generous things I have witnessed in Thailand.

Once, I accidentally hit a professor's car at the university's parking lot. I then notified a security guard. The security guard went and got the professor to come and look at his car. The accident was minor. I offered to pay for damage, but the professor thanked me for letting him know about the accident and wont let me pay for the damage of the car.

Then a few years later, the man was backing up his truck and hit my car. He gave me his information, and I wrote down his license plate and stuff. However, I returned the professor favor by did not go after the man to pay for the damage of my car, which was about $250.

Saw a policeman beating up 2 teenagers who had a scuffle in front of an internet shop. During the physical punishment, he was also lecturing them about the right social behavior outside the ring, when in puplic, while wearing (school)uniform, how to resolve problems between humans/fellow-countrymen/school mates and suchlike...
He was quite generous with his teachings and the 2 guy's were thanking him with the highest Wais they could give. Passersby were shaking their heads in confirmation, made my day.
