This is the link to the project on Kiva
If you have any questions please let me know here in the comments
The Ping Pong I Village Bank consists of forty-one members.
Mrs. Yin Sao is the Village Bank president. She is 49 years old and is a subsistence farmer who cultivates the field next to the village. She is the mother of three children. One works in a garment factory, another is working on the field with his parents, and the youngest is enrolled in state school.
The family sometimes hires workers to work on their rice plantation, especially to plow, since they do not have enough draft animals. Last year, Mrs. Yin Sao obtained a loan from Acleda Bank to hire a worker to plow the rice field, but insects destroyed her rice. Now, the monsoon season is coming soon, so it is time to cultivate rice, but Mrs. Yin Sao does not have enough money to hire a worker.
Therefore, she is requesting a loan to hire a worker who has a draft animal to plow the rice field, and to buy insecticides to avoid last year’s problems.

April 25th, 2008 — Coup 20060919, Government, Media, Politics
The supreme commander of Thailand has once again denied any coup roomers. He said it is only the media and he has heard nothing among the military.
He said that maybe the military would step in if the land went into chaos and have violent street protests.
Last time the military took over they blamed the PM and said he was about to attack the protesters with guns and they stepped in.
It is a known fact that the people behind the last coup is not happy with the current government trying to change back everything to the way it was before the coup.
In the mean time the puppet government that PM with his PPP is crying over the invisible hand that trying to make problem.
April 25th, 2008 — Business, Crimes, Travel Thailand, Travel Warning
About 50 families have been cheated by a Swedish man named Curt Timhede what he says is his Thai friend and her husband. The holiday village in Bang Phra has been described as”apartment with rehab” and should be a perfect place for children families.
The company that also had a Swedish office has taken about 150 million THB in advance payment money that now the “mystery” man taken out.
The thing is that even if this mystery man did take out this money and the Sweden Curt never went to the Police with the excuse that they never believe him. He also created lots of other companies in similar names and kept on selling.
My advice to the buyers is to get a private detective and sue him and the company for what ever they have in Thailand it will not cost them much and they might get something back.
The land is now sold to another company and in most cases in Thailand this person is connected to the fraudulent people in some way.
