A Thai wife has gone online to post pictures and tell the story of her husband who is helping to put out fires in the north of Thailand.
And posters have been quick to react saying that the farang is doing more than most Thai people to stop fires.
Pictures showed the unnamed westerner trudging into the forest to put out fires and a conflagration raging in the undergrowth believed to be in the Lampang area.
Nittaya Charee said on her page that the man concerned was not Thai and was in fact her husband. He is not part of an NGO and has no donations to use for his work – not one baht, said Nittaya.
He was doing all this using his own money because he wanted to help out.
There were no complaints from her husband despite pictures that seemed to show fresh wounds inflicted in the fire fighting.
Nittaya posted about the fires and smog generated from them that she said should be publicized as much as the 30 million baht lottery scandal, poacher Premchai and Toon Bodyslam the charity runner.
She said that the people should be the eyes and ears for the authorities and condemn those who set fires.
Nittaya and subsequent Thai posters called the unnamed farang an unsung hero for doing more than most Thai people and standing up for Thailand.
