Thanks for sharing the links.

Where will the donations actually go, to the NGO that runs the school?

At least one of those links is breaking forum rules so I doubt this topic will last long.

The cause is good. Letting it stand.

17 children dead and people trying to do something good to help in what must be an absolutely devasting time for the families and yet the negativity continues.

No wonder the Chiang rai forum is on life support after the comments made here and the mushroom thread.

Hats off to the hangover bar and all involved.

Safe ride and raise a fortune?

[Will27]

A fine cause indeed.

Kudos to Chiang Rai Ties, GT-Rider and RideAsia.

Yes Will27

It's great to see expat community getting together for a good cause.

I'm sure any questions about disbursement so far monies will be answered by the relevant parties and done transparently without slurs and innuendo .

I believe also there is someone collecting clothing etc somewhere near the white temple for the kids but I've somehow lost the info.

You make a good point about forums being bi partisan when a tragedy such as this arises .

Cheers

Good call moderator!

I hope we get a report back from the expats on how it all went!

Here it is. Steve will return on Friday to Wiang PaPao, the families will be present then, and hand the money directly to them.

Thank you Jethro69 for the update.

The pictures you have put up are both truly tragic and uplifting at the same.

To see expat community come together at such short notice and raise 150,000 baht is a fantastic effort.

Thank you for and detailed report and hats off to everyone involved including the organisers the riders and the forums who have banded together for such a worthy cause????

"Sounds like great fun for the guys taking the scenic route and enjoying cake at the Charin"

This was his quote for the biker guys who went to offer there condolences on the Horrific tragedy of
17 CHILDREN BEING BURNED TO DEATH

To answer his questions on were, what, who.

The biker guys did know were. They were going, did know what they were going to do when they arrived at the school,
Did know who to contact, did know we're the money was going.

Chiangrai School fire Fund Raising

Just to thank Steve for his hard work and to update everyone that a total of 162 thousand baht was Raised collectively.
Steve and his wife went back to the school on the 3 rd June and the money was equally divided and given to each of the parents that suffered loss of their children or been injured in this horrific tragedy.

Once again a big thank you to all those that supported the cause.
