Facebook complaint leads to fine for Bangkok Rescue Foundation



PATTAYA: -- On Tuesday a complaint on a Facebook Page led to the detention of a Rescue Foundation Volunteer from Bangkok who was in Pattaya fundraising.

The Facebook post included a picture of a rescue vehicle and comments suggesting the rescue volunteer may be conducting a scam and there was a call to Police to check her credentials.

Nongprue Police responded to the call and detained the rescue volunteer at the Porntaep Village 8 in the Nong Pla Lai area of East Pattaya. She, along with her vehicle, were taken to the Police Station where Police confirmed that the foundation she was representing, the Pitakunnatoam Foundation based in Bangkok was a genuine charity and was registered with the Thai authorities accordingly.

Perhaps the facebook-complaining person will think about this twoce when he/she is lying on the street after an accident, bleeding and with broken bones... Then he/she would like very much that a volunteer would stop by and provide first aid. Better twitter and tube all those i-phone and macbook shopping monks!

Just because she works for a licensed company does not mean she was not pandering illegally...wht if she worked out of Bangkok was she asking for donations in Pattaya?, another scammer. this one with a licenses but no permit to solicit

Facebook complainer was correct to report the suspicion of a scam.

The 200 Baht Fine could have been waived though. The fundraising was for a very good cause.
