I do not know any Thai philanthropist. Of course it doesn't mean that there aren't any. But wouldn't it be nice just to give 0.01% to build schools, hospitals with 'better' equipment and projects where people without work could earn some money and help themselves instead being criminal, especially at this times? Most of those Top 40 will never be able to spend their money for a few generations (excluding stuff like building an airport or other crazy extravaganza).

I don't know, but it would make me happy to help other people and see them standing on their own feet. Unfortunately I am not a Top anything and can only look on. A bit Rotary helps some but those guys could really make the difference for their country. The funny thing is that IF they would donate/invents/etc 0.01% of they money, they wouldn't even see much of the difference at their statement.

My 2 cents...

It's the same the whole world over,
It's the poor that get the blame,
It's the rich that get the pleasure,
Ain't it all a bloody shame.

THe guy with the big ears and the inbred monkey family could sell some of his land and give to the poor. But no that would never happen because he is total C*nT.

this 'wealth' is all based on paper. means nothing until you spend it.

Lots of chariries around Pattaya run by expats.Do wealthy Thai people feel the need to give something back?

Actually dumb-ass forgot to count his royal highness at $35billion USD.

Master of the obvious strikes again. Great reporting douche-bag

Time for them to change from business people into filantropes... cant buy the very much needed beauty and youth anyway...

Don't really want to get too deeply into the why's and wherefores here. But wouldnt it be nice if some of these people, set up elite schools for the poor and underpriveleged? Allowing them free school meals and education up to degree standard. Im not talking about 1000,000 bht here and there im talking about half a billion bht! Would be easy to do but will never happen of course!..
