Bangkok Begins to Heal

Days after the anti-government arsonists tried to burn down Bangkok, residents of our city came together in the thousands and began what we called, “Bangkok Clean Up Day”  Our community, with their own cleaning supplies, gloves, masks, and free will, joined together and began rebuilding what the Red shirts so desperately wanted to destroy.  Thai People helping the Bangkok Metropolitan Authority city sweepers clean the roads, remove graffiti from the walls, and clearing garbage.  We are very fortunate to have people that care enough about where they live, that they are willing to put their safety aside for the greater image of Thailand.  Those who were not able to help, generously gave free food and drinks throughout the day.

We are also fortunate to have dedicated photographers to took pictures of the events as they unfolded to help us remember what it felt like to do good.  Enjoy these heartwarming photos.  While we will always remember, we must begin to heal.

I do not take credit for any of the photos posted here.
