The children of Baan Tharn Namchai were never a threat to Donut King; but they did manage to raise Baht 100,000 which was given in the form of a cheque to a school in Victoria.

The site where Chedi Restaurant now stands was first developed as Thailand Restaurant in 1990. The original dining area was divided into two sections with traditional tables and chairs occupying half the space and another section on a raised platform with squat Thai style tables and floor seating.

Chedi Restaurant was proud to host a charity dinner for Hands Across the Water; which is a charity established by Peter Baines to support the many orphans of the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami in Thailand.
