We are not talking about some syndicates that have been using these young children to beg like some people mentioned, because it’s not under our power to curd them, nor try to expose some bad scene about what we’ve seen but just to point out on how fortunate we are. We can’t change the world but we can certainly change our way of thinking…We still have roof over our head, plenty of food on our table & still be able to save some money to see the world…How lucky we are!

Thai Open Tennis Tournament
by Aquacraig
The Thai open tennis tournament is played in SEPTEMBER at the Impact Arena and convention centre at Muang Thon Thani. This is about 30 minutes by taxi from the centre of Bangkok.
If you are in BKK in September why not go along and watch the stars! Cheaper than Wimbledon and a much better complex! There is an addidas shop within a 5 minute walk from the Impact Arena. Just ask someone at the Arena for directions. Here you will find genuine addidas at much cheaper prices than Australia.
