Hi Betti!

The charity does not have a physical presence in Thailand and therefore they can't have a bank account with a Thai bank. If you don't want to make a payment to their UK bank account you could make a donation via PayPal. PayPal allows you to make a payment in various currencies including Thai Baht.

If PayPal is not an option for you you could make a donation to the Mercy Center. The Mercy Center is based in Pattaya and they do all the legwork with looking after the children, arranging sponsor visits and going shopping with the children when a sponsor has sent some money for this purpose. You can find all the details on their website: http://mercypattaya.com/ Just click on "Friends of Mercy" on the top of the page to read about payment options.
