The US has been rated as the world's most charitable country in 2011 by the Charities Aid Foundation's (CAF) World Giving Index, up from fifth in 2010.

The Irish Republic came second, then Australia, New Zealand and the UK.

The survey suggested more people were likely to perform charitable acts this year compared with 2010, but less likely to give money.

The CAF said the "global economic crisis" was the likely reason for the slight fall in charitable donations.

The group said the richest countries were not necessarily the most likely to give to charity - only five nations that are in the World Bank's top 20 economies by GDP appear in the latest CAF giving index top 20.

In terms of percentage of population, Thailand was the most generous, with 85% of Thais making regular charitable contributions. The UK was the second most generous, with 79% regularly giving to charity.

Countries were ranked in terms of the monetary donations and charitable acts of their people.

tops world charitable giving index

That's why we see some poor laotians and cambodians in Thailand. LOL

Believe it or not. From my experience, There are some narrow-mined, stingy, selfish people from some countries who is mean enough to say that being

generous and selfless is the sign of weakness , docile and spudity. can you believe it? What kind of culture that raise them?

I think they are just uncomfortable seeing people selflessly help each other which it is something they are not capbable of.

Anyway, I respect Thai people and their generosity and I,m sure that it's going to pay off pretty soon(that's the Karma)

Don't forget about Jek. They turn all your to be their kheekha in 50 years. Be ready Ai sut.

Nothing is fair in the world. and life isnt fair either because in the end we die naturally because that is our purpose.

And beside, not all Thai are generous since I know tons of Thai seem to want and want, then give. I think people only see the small part of Thai from the outside. But if you really know them, then you will know exactly how they are.

It's better than being kheekha geow for sure.

lao = kheekhaa Thai
lao = kheekhaa Geow
lao = kheekhaa Jek
puan = kheekhaa lao

See? you are at the bottom, be proud of being kheekhaa, ok?

Can't you read BingBing...the article said right there with 85% Thai making charitable contributions...

Don't pay too much attention to these guys who love to troll so much without knowing what's going on with Real Lao people.
Real Lao and Thai people have always been generous, in spite of all types of natural disasters and political problems going on in Thailand and lesser prosperity and communism in Laos.

"""South Eastern Asia has a giving index score of 37% and ranked 4th globally. There are nine countries in the region, with the two highest ranked countries (Thailand and Lao People's Democratic Republic) both sitting inside the top 10 World Giving Index ranking globally, place at 9th and 10th, respectively)."""

These kind of ranking are just an estimation and calculation on percentage of people and those money coming out from private and individual community donation . It doesn't prove anything that is base on each individual factor of people or country who give or give not. And in the end its just all calculation, but not a precise fact.

I think Thailand loves to give, especially to Farang.

i wonder if tipping a hooker counts as a charitable donation?

I can start my own country donate a dollar and my country will have 100% index. lolzzzzzzzzzz

per population index doesnt mean or account for anything, Bill Gates Alone contributes more money per Dollar to Charity then the Entire Country of Thailand all put together. The amount of Money itself means more then how many ppl donate, lolzzzzz I can donate $100 and 100 ppl can donate 1 cent, so which is more important? my single $100 bill or 100 ppls $1 dollar? lolzzzzzzzzzz

instead of being pround of fellow Lao people, you talk about Farang Bill Gate.

You guys totally lack an understanding of the true meaning of Giving.
It's the inside of each soul, rich or poor. It's Nam Jai. Overall, it reflects a people. It's like a part of Kuam Pen Lao.
Absolutely not surprising!!! you will never understand it.

A billionaire who donates millions is. Or as charitable as a begged giving his only penny.

Idiot trolls do not understand this concept.

Yes very charitable. Most protection money in the world

So what? Thai are bad people?

Is it from Thai newspaper? Do you think you will find news like this in your Khmer or Lao newspaper? LOL

Bad is bad, doesn't matter who reported. Simple concept.

so what? what do you want to represent?

do you wanna show about bad thing in Thailand and prove that's we are not good enought?

about me, no body perfect!

and, if you wanna show That's we are fake coz that's news, it's up to you

about me, 85% is good enough for me, I think it's better than some country, that's alway concern to us, By that they country still get donation from other by didn't help themselve


Buddhalove

yes Bad is Bad! very sample Troll is Troll also

Bad is bad, doesn't matter who reported. Yet u don't like it when I stated the truth. Pretty odd species.

lol its easy to just focus on the negative about Thailand like this (even though we top the chart in charitable people) but lets do a comparison. Where was Laos on the table? (no disrespect to real Lao people. I know you people are kind but just need a comparison)

Why do you keep trying to defame Thailand? does it make you feel better because you wan't to bring us down to your $hitty level? Everyone knows how screwed up your country is, why even try to compare? lol pretty odd species

Buddhalove and guruwise typical Lao envy Thai

I totally agree... the more I look at their Thai bashing pattern the more I see they like to target specific subjects which they must envy because where they are it must be very $hitty lol

Awwww its ok guys, you can be Thai as well if you wan't. We are open hearted enough to let you join the Thai bandwagon lol

They tell everybody that they are (fake)Thai except in AF, BD is anything Puan, Lao, Viet except Thai. guruwise is the same, he tells everybody in America that he is (fake)Thai except in AF he is Farang who doesnt get his education in his small country but in Australia

Don't bother replying to someone who has no life. He is desperate for reaction! The guy is a joke.
It's an insult to Lao people to even mention the word Lao in relation to him. You are feeding a troll!

Bounty, these Thai has always insulted the Lao ppl since day one. You should open ur eyes a bit, then u might see how much of a pass time and countless of Lao insult used on the ppl and Laos. After all we are making that notice here in the west. I'm sure those Thai loyalist and nationalist will hate it. But they do need to face it one day.

NO, you are dead wrong!!! You and Buddhalove have been inciting them to insult Lao people in retaliation with topics that have nothing related to Lao issues.
When you and Buddhalove are no longer here, both Thai and Lao chats become sane and more respectful.

What do you and Buddhalove have to do with the topics related to the Thai and the Khmer, etc...
These have nothing to do with Laos and Lao people. And you guys are not Lao.
Lao people don't behave like you two. They have self-respect and pride.

You are insane Bounty. We come in here after 3yrs ago some of these Thai members were insulting us behind our back. Just like most forum out there that was troll by these Thai nationalist and loyalist. And I know ur not laotian, but why do you care what we do or criticized here?

Bingbing, it's very simple. Without you and Buddhalove beginning to harass the Thai members first there has never been and will never be a real issue with the Thai members.
You perfectly know it. It's fact! but you and Buddhalove don't seem to be able live with that.
When there was a Lao-Thai issue that emerged, real Lao people dealt with it like proud Lao and the problem died off.

If you and Buddhalove have a life and care about your own self-esteem and well-being, who care what the Thai think about the Lao, the Viet about the Khmer, the Chinese about the Japanese etc. The truth is you guys don't have a life of your own worth to take care of.

Real Lao people worry about the socio-economic attainment of the Laotian community in the US and Lao people in Laos. There are tons of problems that Laotian people are facing. You know nothing about this. You and Buddhalove just ignore it because you do not really feel being part of the Laotian community here. You rather spend your time sticking your nose on the Thai issue and insult them and provoke them to return the insults to Lao people, whom you are not part of.

did you know, the article was from Bangkokpost.com, and not from me. Can u tell the different, mentally too challenge for your people. bad is bad, true story.

Jont Thai bandwagon to be Jek kheekha. No thank you, keep it to yourself.

See? the power of envy, BD and guruwise can do in this thread

That's funny. I used Thai news blog and other news to interpret my opinion here and most Thai members actually think it was my own personal view against them. LOL! I guess Thai do not seem to see the same thing or agree among their own people.

Now I can see that its their own who is against themselves to gain benefit in Thailand social structure and political figure of that country and power of governing. We have warned them about this many times. I guess they blame Lao and Khmer people for their own people action.

And what do you think about me Nhoona? I'm not so bad. I'm I?

Whatever ICT knows mostly from America

Who cares Dao people

Well I'm not a born Thai native like Joe Gordon. I'm a full 100% Asian-American or American. And beside, I rather go to Laos and other Asian country then Thailand. You should know that tourist will be effected by this ICT group and the case against the American that was arrested last two wk or so ago.

I'm curious. Do them ICT knows about Asiafinest forums discussion in Thailand? Cause I only hear youtube and facebook that is being attack by these ICT groups on the majesty law in Thailand.

I guess that is a evil statement?

They dont care nationality if only you touch Thai soil Do you like Oliang



Im evil

Well I can still go from Singapore to Laos. Or South Korea to Laos or Vietnam to Laos. And beside. Case about Thailand law being overly reacted by nationalist pride is still going on. After all it is an international and UN case too that must be resolved with Thailand. Hopfully we can hear the out come of the news about it soon. And no. I do not like Oliang.

And I guess we both are evil in some ways. LMAO!

who cares Laos

if you come to Thailand

Well I'm not going to go to Thailand since I might get shot at by you Thai nationalist and loyalist.

But maybe you can come visit my hotel in Laos Nhoona. I'll be waiting for you.

Siamese are odd species, that can not live with the truth.

Funny how BD thinks he knows the truth lol

I u don't know then just ask me, instead of relying on jek Nhoona.
