Hello Lucas and Merry Christmas. My wife and I are escaping the Canadian winter and are lodging in Jomtien until April. Your videos did play a part in our decision to stay here. I'd just like to add that it's a wonderful thing you do by bringing attention to worthy causes like in this video. Thank you.
great video, Loucous. Thanks for sharing the charity info. You always help places out with this info and alerting folks to the maybe lesser known ways to help or serve. Kudos! Hope you have a great Christmas!
For the Price of the Room and that Breakfast that's a Deal. That is a wonderful History of that School , I think People forget that there are still Homes for these Kids that need help . Safe Travels You Two ...
That is a great cause. So many places the children are forgotten and left to learn on their own . A great cause ! You are great to help them with an aggressive program.😊
very decent cost for a clean nice place. especially where it is located and with great facilities. understand the smaller size for a decent price. I could stay there for a few weeks easily. including a decent breakfast is so good too. Then see what a brilliant long term charity doing so much for over fifty years why. Helping out with schooling and a decent meal for kids in need.
I love that Holiday Inn Express. When IHG has promos, including fast-track to diamond status, the fine print says that the cheapest room rate allowable is US$30/night. That hotel can be just a tiny bit over that, so it's one of the cheapest places in the world to rack up IHG nights for promos.
I think you are confusing Holiday Inn Express with Holiday Inn. The latter is the original hotel chain, with more bells & whistles, catering to family vacation goers. The former is the less expensive, less frills chain, catering to the solo business traveler.
Holiday Inn express has an egg station. That is a good change. The bad part is that they no longer accept points most of the time for stays. It used to be a good deal using points. The Rayong holiday inn express still accepts points. Education. I taught students for 15 years. Most were from very rich families. Sadly, there are few good jobs for the less advantaged students even if they are outstanding students. The rich kids have the connections through their families. We need a new prophet to come and change things. The current world pretends to care. Have a great day and thanks for the video.
I booked the holiday inn express sathorn for 3 weeks after alternative state quarantine but 3 weeks were wsy too long but i didn’t know how long it would take me to find a condo to live in. Spoiler: took 4 days because i had special needs. 2 million dollars is quite a lot for a slum or maybe i misunderstood something
Have you looked at their web site to see what they're doing? It's not just twenty-two kindergartens with over two thousand kids, it's another two hundred and fifty kids sponsored all the way through their university education. It's five orphanages with one hundred and forty kids, forty of them born with HIV. And it's numerous other community services that the Thai government won't provide.
Ever since you did the video on the Father Ray's Foundation I have been donating.
I will be adding this charity to my list
That's fantastic to hear! 🙏
Great coverage of the charity and what they do for the local community by helping underprivileged children!!
Its a wonderful centre give something worth more than money to the children for life. Thanks for showing us. I contributed, merry Christmas!
Blessed you both.
Well done Lucas. Education is vital.
I visited that place on my first visit to Thailand in 2012. I was impressed with the facilities and the operation.

Definitely a worthy cause which I have supported and encourage others to do so if they are able.

Thanks for bringing Mercy Centre to my attention Loucous. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas to you and Lana.
Thanks 👍🎄
Great to see the kids given a chance to be successful in their futures or find a vocation.
Buddha and Jesus find common ground without conflict.
I've stayed at that Holiday Inn Express for a few days. And the breakfast was not bad at all.
Have stayed there a few times. No balcony in any room. Pretty decent breakfast. Probably the best hotel for the money in that area.
Totally agree
Happy birthday matt

Merry xmas to all🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Holiday Inn is owned by a British Company IHG ,has been for a long time. Holiday Inn Express is their cheapest hotel Brand.
🙏 👍
I hope to spot you in Bangkok today!

Looks perfrect for a few days, but perhaps a bit claustrofobic for a long stay🙂?
I have great experiences from Holiday in Beach rd.
The Holiday Inn Express opened in August 2019, but if you want the better experience The Holiday Inn opened on Beach Road in 2009.
The Holiday Inn is generally 3 times the price and doesn't include breakfast. (Unless you have diamond status or lounge access.)

Holiday in express seems a good price for where it is and what you get …. Always thought it would be more expensive
Merry X'Mass 😊🫶❤️🙂🫰🩷🎉🎊🧑🎄🎅🎄🎆🎇
Holiday inn express is good value in my opinion , especially in Singapore.
But it in Bangkok I prefer to cheap Charlie at Ruamchitt plaza hotel.
🤳👍Euch beiden einen schönen 🕯🕯🕯🕯Atwent 🎄
Danke Achim 👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Stayed here, twice. Way better than Travelodge. A bit more expensive tho; I paid closer to 2000.
Is the weather still semi-cold 😬 there
23 degrees where I live at 6am in the morning
Kinda makes you wish you could help everyone :-(, Anyway cheers guys,
🙂

I need to know …do you do “bye for now’ every time or is it all one recording that you use ? 😂 Very important to know this 😂
Looks like a cruise ship room
🤣🤣👍
It's in Spanish I think??? 😢
For $50 a night in Pattaya, you should have gotten something better.
Cheap ass boss 😂😂😂
11:16 "We need 2 million USD per year".... yeaaah right, that's 68.4 million Thai bahts per year. Someone is out of their mind.

Over 150 staff-a special school for refugees-all kids go through social services-you need to visit before you criticize!
@@BarnabyBarry you forgot to mention the budget for corruption.
That place was nasty50 years ago see nothing has changed.
Glory goes to Jesus Christ❤❤❤❤ ONE GOD ❤
