Taxi drivers were among those most impacted. Though the country had reopened to international tourists and things were improving, some taxi drivers still needed help to get by. To help them, aid distributions were held at the Tzu Chi Thailand office in Bangkok on June 14, 16, 21, and 24. This wasn\u2019t the first time Tzu Chi Thailand had distributed aid to taxi drivers during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>The events were a joint effort between Tzu Chi and the Council of Public Motorist Thai Associ\u00adation. Suwan On-Sang is from the association. He said that as soon as he learned about the distributions, he decided to set aside time to volunteer every day at the events. When he saw how Tzu Chi volunteers at the venue were doing their best to help taxi drivers, he was motivated even more to contribute what he could.<\/p>\n<p>Jakkraphan Thipdee has been a taxi driver for more than ten years. He said he had a really tough time making ends meet during the pandemic. Though the number of tourists had been increasing, the number of taxies on the road had increased too. Thipdee wasn\u2019t out of the woods yet, financially speaking, more so because he had to support his parents and children, who lived in the countryside. He said the necessities provided by Tzu Chi would greatly help to reduce his and his wife\u2019s living costs.<\/p>\n<p>During the four days, 37 taxi drivers brought the coin banks they had received from the foundation to the venue to donate the money inside. Taxi driver Somboon Tamniam said that he had seen how Tzu Chi was putting the donations they received to good use, so he wanted to do his bit to help too. He said that his passengers often asked him about the foundation when they saw the Tzu Chi coin bank in his car. When that happened, he was always happy to share with them what he knew about Tzu Chi. Afterwards, many passengers would drop money into the bank.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5cdea0b6 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5cdea0b6\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-52fdbb61\" data-id=\"52fdbb61\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69af7cd0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"69af7cd0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/Thailand-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/Thailand-2.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/Thailand-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/Thailand-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/Thailand-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/Thailand-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/Thailand-2-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3486d7e6\" data-id=\"3486d7e6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72e12459 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"72e12459\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Tzu Chi Thailand\u2019s distribution for taxi drivers in June was held in a drive-through fashion. <span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>Datchanee Suratep<\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7a9eff2b elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"7a9eff2b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0ea1026 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0ea1026\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5e0ec3d\" data-id=\"5e0ec3d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abe82d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"abe82d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A total of 1,319 taxi drivers received rice, other food, and daily essentials from Tzu Chi during the four days.<\/p><p>On June 29, a small group of volunteers visited a taxi driver named Sittichai Kanpai. He had been diagnosed with kidney disease nine months earlier, which was followed by a month of hospitalization. After he was discharged, he had to recuperate at home and learn how to do dialysis himself. He now undergoes four dialysis sessions at home every day, each session lasting for about an hour, which has greatly taken away from the time he can drive a taxi. After learning about his situation, Tzu Chi decided to provide him with emergency financial aid. Aside from the financial aid, volunteers also brought him multigrain powder on this day.<\/p><p>Everyone can experience difficult times in life. When that happens, a helping hand can go a long way towards making things easier. Tzu Chi volunteers act on that belief, hoping to bring relief to whoever needs it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-36a15e82 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"36a15e82\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4e1e1c12\" data-id=\"4e1e1c12\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6977f9c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6977f9c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/Indonesia.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/Indonesia.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/Indonesia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/Indonesia-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/Indonesia-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/Indonesia-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/Indonesia-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d10e488 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6d10e488\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Dr. Tri Agus Haryono performs cataract surgery at a Tzu Chi free clinic held on July 29 and 30, 2022, in Medan, North Sumatra. <span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>Gunawan Halim<\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27f0c146 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"27f0c146\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b7ef5c8 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b7ef5c8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e7b6ad6\" data-id=\"e7b6ad6\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69c327e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"69c327e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>Indonesia<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d9ee9c8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d9ee9c8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Tzu Chi Medan held a free medical clinic on July 29 and 30, 2022, in cooperation with the Indonesian Air Force and the Sinar Mas Group.

Besides cataract surgery, other ophthalmological services and treatment in general medicine and dentistry were also offered.<\/p><p>People who signed up for the cataract surgery needed to undergo evaluation first. The evaluation was held on July 23 at Soewondo Air Force Base. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, all patients and accompanying family members coming to the evaluation were required to take a rapid COVID antigen test. The same went for the medical team and support volunteers. Such COVID tests were also compulsory for everyone participating in the free clinic itself.<\/p><p>Seventy-five people received surgery for cataracts over the two days of the free clinic. Three people were operated on for pterygium, a benign fleshy overgrowth on the surface of the eye.<\/p><p>Colonel Pnb. Reka Budiarsa, of Soewondo Air Force Base, came to both the screening event and the free clinic. \u201cThis activity is a great help to impoverished people,\u201d said the colonel.<\/p><p>Rohli Br. Tohang, 68, was one of the persons who benefited from the free medical services. Her legs are atrophied, making her unable to walk. She said her condition is a result of not receiving proper treatment after falling from a tree when she was two years old. She lives in a nursing home now\u2014having been a resident there for 40 years. \u201cThe nursing home provides me with free food and board and even allowances,\u201d she said. \u201cWe even have a doctor visiting us every Saturday to check on our health.\u201d Despite such good care, the facility was unable to help her receive surgery when she developed cataracts. Her blurred vision made it even harder for her to get around.<\/p><p>She was very happy with the result of the surgery at the free clinic. \u201cThe free cataract operation provided by Tzu Chi means so much to me,\u201d she said. \u201cI give you my most heartfelt thanks. I can see a lot better now. Thank heaven. I hope the others had their eye problems solved too.\u201d<\/p><p>Dr. Tri Agus Haryono was the physician who operated on the 68-year-old woman. He started participating in Tzu Chi free clinics in 2007. \u201cThe impression Tzu Chi free clinics give me is that they are organized by very good teams,\u201d he commented. \u201cEverything is very efficient. The medical professionals and support volunteers work great together, so things go smoothly every time.\u201d The physician observed that there are many cataract patients in Indonesia, and Tzu Chi\u2019s free medical services can help bring light to them. He hoped the foundation would continue holding such meaningful events.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9f05d3b elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-stretched elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9f05d3b\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;stretch_section&quot;:&quot;section-stretched&quot;,&quot;animation_mobile&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-20e6260f\" data-id=\"20e6260f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1272595e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1272595e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/The-United-States.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/The-United-States.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/The-United-States-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/The-United-States-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/The-United-States-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/The-United-States-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/The-United-States-330x220.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-acbffe5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"acbffe5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A volunteer hugs an aid recipient at a distribution held in Seattle, the United States, for fire victims on July 2, 2022. <span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em>Zheng Xin-qian<\/em><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-430cc5a4 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"430cc5a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-661db31f elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"661db31f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2ed46c41\" data-id=\"2ed46c41\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36729411 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"36729411\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5><strong>The United States<\/strong><\/h5>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6956df7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6956df7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>On June 12, 2022, a massive fire broke out at the Madison Apartments, a subsidized apartment building in the city center of Seattle, Washington. According to fire officials, the accident was \u201ccaused by an open flame that tipped over onto a mattress and ignited it.\u201d The fire burned nearly 40 apartment units beyond recognition and affected dozens of others. The American Red Cross contacted Tzu Chi Seattle in the aftermath, asking if they could help, as most residents were of low-income status. After assessing the situation, volunteers held two distributions in early July at the Garfield Community Center, providing cash cards, blankets, and jackets.<\/p><p>Shane Goodsky was one of the fire victims who came to the distribution held on July 2. He said that the fire alarm did not go off on that fateful night. He didn\u2019t even realize a fire had erupted until he heard the cries of his neighbors. Fortunately, firefighters soon arrived and helped them out of the burning building. In his hurry to escape, he only had time to take his identification papers and things his mother had left him. Despite having lost almost everything, he didn\u2019t complain. Instead, he couldn\u2019t stop thanking the Red Cross and Tzu Chi for their assistance. He had already found a new place to live with the help of the Red Cross, and was moving into it the following week. He observed that Tzu Chi\u2019s financial aid was a big help to him, a blessing.<\/p><p>Twenty-one Tzu Chi volunteers helped staff the distribution. Volunteer Michael Ng said that in spite of the hard luck that had befallen the fire victims, they were not knocked down or despondent. Instead, they all seemed to take what had come their way with a positive attitude. He really admired their spirit and courage.<\/p><p>Six volunteers returned to the community center on July 10 to hold another distribution for five households. Gary was a fire survivor that had received Tzu Chi\u2019s aid on July 2. He returned to the venue on July 10 to express his gratitude to the volunteers. He cheerfully pointed to the clothes and shoes he was wearing and said he had bought them with the cash card from Tzu Chi. He also said that the coin bank he had received at the distribution on July 2 was already half full. He expected to fill it soon. \u201cI\u2019ll be so happy when I can return it and get another one,\u201d he said.<\/p><p>The distributions on the two days helped about 40 households. The cash cards given out were worth a total of US$23,100.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7b02e7cd elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7b02e7cd\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-20daddf5\" data-id=\"20daddf5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-56a9527d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"56a9527d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"189\" height=\"170\" src=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/07\/\u82f1\u6587\u9801\u5c3e-2.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>International tourism is a major economic contributor in Thailand, but this once-flourishing sector was hit hard b\u2026 <a class=\"text-right\" href=\"https:\/\/tcmonthly.tzuchiculture.org.tw\/?p=28275\"><span class=\"text\">Read More <\/span><span class=\"arrow\">\u00bb<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28121,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"pmpro_default_level":0,"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[920],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Tzu Chi Events Around the World - Tzu Chi Bimonthly<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"International tourism is a major economic contributor in Thailand, but this once-flourishing sector was hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
