I do sometimes, especially when I choose not to go with a girl and have a night off.
Anyone else feel generous towards the unfortunate?

On my last trip I read in The Nation about a childrens home in Bangkok call Ban Kru Noi. The place looks after about 100 kids and has been going for 20 years. Naturally it is always in need of donations. It has a website at http://www.moobankru.com/bankrunoi/bankrunoi.htm but its in Thai script of course. Anyone here want to translate some of it for me?
This "donations" post has brought to mind a half-formed idea I had in relation to the BTF and making donations, giving money or feeling good when you help others just for the heck of it.
Reading some of the "money matters" posts on BTF it is pretty obvious that there are some generous souls in the BTF community, sure we are dedicated to the pursuit of low cost boom boom and most of us are not the type of person that a farang woman would dream of taking home to meet her parents but so what? We know who we are and we know what we are.
I was wondering how the brothers of BTF would feel about adopting this place as our official charity - the half formed idea I had ran something along the line like this:- Ban Kru Noi is our main charity and we track our donations to it using this website. We locate the bank and account number of Ban Kru Noi and each time a brother comes to LOS he goes to the Bank and deposits 100 baht into that account. Each brother, each visit, 100 baht. He then posts on a specific thread on BTF and updates the amount donated so far to Ban Kru Noi. Get the idea?
Naturally anybody screwing around with that particular thread and claiming to donate when they haven't (maybe there is a bank deposit number that can be quoted?) gets themself the wrath of BK and banned for a long long time or until Smegma says something nice, DG says something clearly or Mr Alan says something in the minimum number of words required. Again you get the idea?
Okay, now you say WHY? Ban Kru Noi and not charity XXX, heck no reason it just happens to be one I came across and it looks genuine since it has been going for 20 years. It also looks after kids and it gives us the chance to do something with our relative "wealth" for no reason other than to feel good about having done it.
Flame me, disagree with me or tell me to forget it okay but I can a few good reasons for the BTF jumping on board this idea not least that the day the moral crusaders come to shut us down we can point to the 10, 000 baht given in the last year to a specific Thai charity and say hey? What about this?

Listen to Triyclops and do the right thing.
Rest assured your money will be put to good use - all of it!!
Not like many of the US charities where too much is spent in admin. costs and etc.!

Opps! Thanks Cmore will check it out. Once again my original and creative thoughts inspired by a late night and a half a bottle of scotch have proved to be less original than they first appeared at 4am. Wish I could type that well sober.....
