Thailand Disabled Sell Lottery Tickets
Not the type of Photo I want to take, however it is for a good cause, so I became Paparazzi, took the photo, then purchased a lottery ticket.

This disabled person is selling lottery tickets.

I thought this was a “Global Size Idea” that needs passed around.

This is man who sits on his Motorcycle selling lottery tickets here in the Khao San area of Bangkok, Thailand.

If you look close, you can see a wheelchair.

The way I understand it, there disabled people in Thailand have a special right to sell lottery tickets. This gives them job and a way to be productive, this is good idea that needs passed around.

If you care about someone, if you love them, giving them money is not the answer, you can enslave a person with Love.

(Note, I am dumping this Fuji Camera and buying a Sony again because of failure to focus problems and lack of quality problems.)

In fact, I think the selling by disabled is not new at all. People all over the world do it. (In some cities in the USA there is a special offering once a month - the disabled have special moneyboxes and collect money - there are many differences among all the cities but the idea is the same - disabled sell things - such as the small handmade things or lottery). But nice post - I think it is good to know they do it there too.

How can you get the able bodied to work in the USA if they can have free housing,food stamps,a cash check,free medical care if the only requirment is they pump out a kid every 3 years or so and you know what group is head and shoulders above any other group that live this way. But I don't want to turn your nice travel blog into a blog for raving liberals Who will be typing from a Starbucks far far from home to tell me I should die.I find most disable that can do any job will usually try to do something. I have a Blind friend who answers phones for a hotel chain. BUT SHE can ONLY work a few hours a week or it makes no economic sense to work. The disable are the Highest taxed group of people in the USA should they decide to work....crazy USA. But I still love her. Like a crazy Aunt.P.S. you ever see a Jewish family hanging out infront of their house on a weekday smoking and drinking ?Go figure ?

People need to work for money, I am sad when I hear people got free money and it robbed them of the chance to have any pride.

I agree, people need to work for their money.
If not, they become spoiled and rotten.
Work itself these days I think is misunderstood
What is the purpose of work?
To collect money, for what?
Work should be a spiritual work while earning money and benefitting those around you at the same time. It should not be just for money,
This is todays problem--people working only for money, not for God.
