An appeal from Thais4Life

Readers of the PG Weekly Report, and Gay Affairs Pattaya, will be well acquainted with the work of Thais4Life – the methods used to raise funds and the distribution of those funds.

Full information, including annual accounts, are published on their website www.thais4life.com and also contained in our information brochure available at the bookshop.

The Thais4Life Charity Bookshop, located in Soi Yensabai Condotel, off Soi VC, is our principal visible and main local presence.

We have in the bookshop now, approximately 26,000 titles - and all these books have been donated to enable us to raise funds to help destitute Thais – including those in orphanages etc.

In recent months, probably due to the economic conditions, there has been an unprecedented demand for our books – especially those in European Continental languages – German, Dutch, French, Italian, and also Scandinavian languages, as well as English.
 

Although our sales are generally up on previous years, the inflation in Thailand has also created additional demands on resources available for our beneficiaries.

We are appealing to anybody – residents in Thailand, visitors already here who have brought books with them, or overseas readers contemplating a visit to Pattaya – who may have a few books that they no longer require, to donate them to the Thais4Life Charity Bookshop.

If you are in Bangkok, any books for Thais4Life may be left at The Balcony, Silom Soi 4, and here in Pattaya they can be left at the bookshop, at Oscars Bar in Boyztown, at the Bondi Beach Bar/Guest House on Dongtan Beach, or if you in Pattaya you can give us a phone call and we will collect the books from you.

We would also be interested in receiving magazines and periodicals, eg.
Spectator, The Economist (issues that are not banned in Thailand), National Geographic Magazine (from any country!), Time Magazine, Readers Digest, Newsweek, any computer magazines plus any European provincial magazines "Der Spiegel" for example.

Thank you – we hope that you can help us at this time !
