Kun Phraesrithong (ON) in Phang Nga runs a wonderful childerens home,and is always in need of help , it is a good vist and nice way to spend an afternoon ,to stop buy Lotus and make a trip up the coast.
While toys ,candy and trinkets sound good she will usally insist on practical items ie; bulk food ,baby items , diapers and such, not very glamorous.
There is no shortage of childeren centers in Thailand.
The Thailand Childerens Home just outside of Korat would like to get clean running water and an kitchen that is not a shack, will work on this upon my return in november, but if anyone has any ideas or help I'm ready to listen.
If anyone would like more info on Phang Nga ,PM me
