Question The King's Charity??

Firstly, only three days until we leave for our minibreak (four days) in Bangkok - can't wait and am beside myself with excitement, especially as it's about 10 degrees and hailing in Melbourne today!

Hoping someone can help ... I'm trying to find out some information about the official charity of the King of Thailand ... I know he is involved in lots of charitable activities, but I believe there is one main "foundation" which he runs, that covers all the main areas of things such as education, health, welfare, employment, environment, culture etc.

Does anyone know of this organisation?

I'd be most grateful for any information.

Thanks
DB

I am in the city of Melbourne there is no hail here, had a bit of rain thank god, and the temperature is about 16,not 10,no wonder Melbourne gets a bad rap when its own inhabitants give wrong info. LOL

Smile Freezing!

I was driving down Dandenong Road from Malvern back to my office in St Kilda Road and it started hailing (just small ones, but still hail)! The radio said the temperature was 15 but with the wind chill factor it was around 10. By the time I got back to the office, the sun was out (but still very chilly).

Anyway, jolly freezing here today - and nothing like the 35 degrees maximum that is forecast in Bangkok this Thursday!

I love Melbourne and its quirky, unpredictable weather but can't wait to feel that tropical heat hit me as I walk out of the terminal building!

Cheers

Hi
I'm in the South Eastern Suburbs near Berwick and we've had a bit of everything, hail, torrential rain for a few minutes, a clap of thunder and sunshine. Vic's weather is all over the place if you check out bom.gov.au it will show you. I have to say for 15c I'm freezing with the heating on. Roll on Saturday when we go to Bali.
Sorry i can't help with info on the King's Charity.Cheers Geri
