Pattaya –
A Dutch ex-pat and his family handed out free dried food on his 64th birthday to the needy in Pattaya instead of holding a party yesterday (May 26th).
Mr. Libert Tuinsta, newly 64, a Dutch national, his family, and a team from Jay’s Rent a Car handed out dried food such as rice, canned fish, and eggs as well as some cash to the needy in Pattaya on Beach Road in front of the Pattaya Police station. The event had previously been cleared with Pattaya Police to take place who assisted with crowd control.
Mr. Tuinsta told the Pattaya News, “It was my 64th birthday, which I normally hold a party for each year with my family and friends. However, during this Covid–19 situation, it is against current Thai rules and regulations not to hold a party, and it’s in poor taste besides in my opinion. So, instead, I gave about 500 free dried food packages to the needy in Pattaya to give to those who are less fortunate than me.”
“I want to pass a message to those who are suffering from the pandemic. We should fight and be patient. I am sure it will be over soon. The situation will be better. Be optimistic, do not lose hope, and do not be afraid to ask for help.” Mr. Tuinsta concluded.
The charity event drew hundreds of people with law enforcement ensuring they wore masks and were following social distancing regulations. Pattaya Beach in particular currently has a growing homeless population due to the number of businesses closed or with little to no customers.
