snoop1130 Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Tourists express their understanding of Thailand's loss by preparing food for mourners By Coconuts Bangkok Photo: Nathalie Davies/ Instagram While some travelers are clearly open about their disappointment that Thailand has suspended all festivities for at least a month, this tourist couple don't seem to mind and expressed their understanding by volunteering. Their photo was captured by Thai-English actress Natalie Davies, who also volunteered at the kitchen of Ruam Katanyu Foundation. "These two foreigners saw that we were preparing food for the soldiers, police officers, staff members, and the general public, so they stepped in to help," Davies wrote on Instagram.

No I think they're just passing through as young backpackers do. Sitting down and preparing food with locals. How can you go wrong? Even if they were there briefly, it's a nice gesture. Isn't it? Why criticize incessantly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
