Want to start a charity club in your hometown in Thailand?
A few weeks ago you read an article on Thailandblog about Charity Hua Hin. This Charity Club is run by a small group of volunteers, including Dutch people.
They help disabled, bedridden Thai people, young and old, who all have in common that they are poor, partly due to the fact that social benefits in Thailand do not even guarantee a minimum subsistence level and they cannot generate any income themselves.
Most of them no longer leave their homes and are cared for by relatives because nursing homes such as in the Netherlands are not known in Thailand. So you often don't see the needy people, but they are definitely there and can use free help.
If you are also thinking about setting up a Charity Club in your own Thai hometown, please register via [email protected] and you will receive a simple manual with tips that you should think about and pay attention to (it is three pages, so a bit much to put on Thailandblog).
Once you have started, you will experience that helping poor fellow human beings is very satisfying and opens doors for you that normally remain closed to a farang.
Nice initiative, if I forget about Oxfam. That is why I give a monthly amount in my village in Khon Kaen to people who are not so well off. Luckily for them, there aren't that many of them. I am open to looking outside the village, but I don't want an organization with board, chairman, president, attendance fees and expenses, etc. Just honest, simple and charitable. I am open to everyone's proposal. Only sometimes a small contribution is not that much to help someone, but in a group you can already help several people. And it depends on how much he wants to spend. Hans
The volunteers of Charity Hua Hin pay all expenses out of their own pockets, such as the coffee we drink together, the fuel of our own cars when we deliver things to the patients' homes, business cards, etc. In this way, 100% of the donations come for the benefit of patients. So Hans, in Hua Hin it is as you call it: Just honest, simple and charitable. Send us an email and you will receive a story of our working method with various tips on how to get started.
Cornelis, congratulations, this is as it should be. Maybe there should be some structure to ease the growing pains. Things seem to be going well in Hua Hin. If I get reactions from my environment and can mean something for the needy, I will not fail to contact you. Good luck. Hans
Despite the proposal praising poor Thai involvement. Still a question;
Is it allowed under Thai law and is a work permit not required?
A work permit is also formally required to perform unpaid volunteer work.
But yes, This Is Thailand. I would be very surprised if even one foreigner stayed in a state hotel because he did not meet this requirement.
They are a bit crazy there, but not completely.
By law in Thailand, all volunteer work requires a work permit.
You are absolutely right Emily.
But if you have been dealing with Thailand for some time, you know that the practice in Thailand is more nuanced.
As long as you don't cause offense and no one thinks you're committing bread robbery, you'll be fine. And the higher you are on the Thai social ladder, the more you can afford.
