Hardworking pair help their community in Thailand
Doing good causes for your community is easier than you might think – it won’t only warm your heart, but can spread positive vibes to the people around you too.
Take for example this grandpa and his grandchild, who came together to fix a public road in their local community.

Mr. Thawut Channoi shared images on his Facebook featuring a grandpa and a little boy who were fixing a public road in Songkhla province with stones.
The man was 68-year-old grandpa Mr. Somnuk who was with his 3-year-old grandchild.

The village still uses a dirt road, which can be bumpy, especially now during the rainy season. So, they decided to spend their free time working on improving the conditions for their fellow neighbours.

Even though Grandpa Somnuk has muscle weaknesses, it’s heartwarming to see that he still had the spirit to do something good to make others’ lives better.
After their stories went viral, many people helped fix and take care of the public road as well. Grandpa Somnuk and his little grandkid sure helped raise awareness to their neighbours.
Netizens praise grandpa for his kind heart
Many media and news channels spread the story on different online platforms, and Thai netizens came together to share their support for the pair.
Translation: It’s good that the little boy has a very good role model like this grandpa. He will grow up to be a good guy.
Translation: They’ve done a good cause without expecting anything, but good persons are always seen. Other than the road, this grandpa has also imparted a very good example to the boy.
We thank both of them for inspiring many people to start doing more good things for their community. We hope both of them are strong and happy.
