RE: Unsung heroes of Chiang Mai the shoe repair man

in #unsung-hero7 years ago

Great humanity here, Jamie. I have about 3 pairs of shoes sitting here that need gluing - was gonna do myself and endlessly on the "must get to that" pile. I am inspired to simply drop them off to him tomorrow and contribute to another's livelihood and welbeing - and my own stress reduction. :) Nicely done. #mythailand

Well you know it’s songkran and everybody needs the cash for the festivities .and I’m sure he would be happy to help,your stress reduction .
I only have one pair of flip flops and there is even some days I forget to wear them as I drive barefoot haha .
I gave ger a bottle of honey as a small token for being so open and wanting to be photographed in the first instance and then share his story .
I hope it will bring him more loving people towards him

Is the shoe repair guy there most every day, 9ish to 5ish?? Or just sometimes? Good point about Songkran cash - I am getting them ready to drop off to him tomorrow.

Yes he is there most days.he was there again today .funny enough a guy in the restaurant said they hadnt seen him for a while .
He was either sick or taken care of someone who was sick was my reply .
