Yes---(although I am very critical of their Foreign Policy ) when I lived in Pattaya for some years --They ---the grunts--(along with the Jesters Motor bike club---Woody) would always have some of their guys turn up to help us paint an orphanage or make a playground for the kids ...etc.

I know at that age (20s) after being at sea for a while..... going out to do this sort of thing when arriving in a place like Pattaya.....would definitely be at least 2nd on my list of must do's)
