The Changpuak Project is a project to support students and schools in Thailand. The idea is, that Europeans who intend to spend their
retirement in Thailand, buy a house (or appartement). Until they retire, the house is rent out to other guests. With the Rental income (a small amount is saved for tax and repair), various school projects are supported.
The project was initiated by อาจารย์ ช้างเผือก, with the help of น้องสาว วันทนา on december 5th, 2015.

In this year, we joined the efforts of the city Hua Hin. 27 bicycles have been bought and distributed by a
lottery-like system to the children on january 13, 2567 (วันเด็กแห่งชาติ). The Changpuak-Team also provided some healthy snacks
like waffles and ice-cream. And yes: 27 bikes because our father was born on december 5th in the year 1927 AD (Anno Domini, ค.ศ.)
This is the year 2470 BE (Buddhist Era, ค.ศ.) - Some impressions ...

2025
In this year (2025, 2568), went back to our first school (โรงเรียนบ้านหนองเป่าปี่),
as it was the 9th occurence - which is a very special number - and the staff still remembered us and gave us a very heartwarming welcome.
Even so the president was not that fond of delivering those KFC chicken wings, because we wanted to support local business, the event
turned out to be very successful. The students did not get the usual school-uniform,
(as they had multiple shirts already) so we have a local tailor producing shirts for 'special occasions'. The teachers seemed impressed.
And the studends deemed to be happy as well.
In the afternoon, we joined the efforts of the Hua Hin municipality. Not only did we sponsor bicycles,
but the president (yes, that's me) did also give out 199 portions of noodle-soup (ก๋วยเตี๋ยว) and the same amount
of ice-cream. This was awarded by the lord mayor with a certificate.
Happy Students :-)...
My Team ...... is happy to help out
