I came across this forum during a Google search on another subject.
I am Treasurer of Pattaya Street Kids Suport Project and I am sorry to hear that anyone has experienced problems in trying to donate via a Tha bank account.
We do publish our bank details on our website but this is a UK account and as we are a UK registered charity we are not under the UK Charity Commission's regulations permitted to have a Thai bank account as we do not, as Tom has explained, have a physical (registered office) presence in Thailand.

Anyone wishing to donate the the charity from a Thai bank account can make a donation to the MERCY Pattaya bank account in Pattaya and we will be happy to pass the details on via email to anyone interested in doing so. As MERCY are a very small team we do ask that anyone wishing to donate advises us of the amount and the name used for the donation. This way MERCY are able to identify the remittance as being for PSKSP rather than having to try and work out what a donation should be allocated to.

We are happy to answer any queries via our email which is streetkids@ntlworld. We attempt to answer all emails within 24 hours.

I can confirm what Tom says about the visit to the zoo. On a day when the temperature topped 103c by miday we were outrun by the boys at every stop and were pleased to arrive back at te MERCY Home for some cooler air.
