Thanin was a heavy alcohol user, smoker, gambler, and heavily in debt. His family was in serious disarray. Often Thanin was gone for several days and his wife didn't know where he was – he was at the gambling house. These were turbulent days for family. When he heard about Jesus he then made a decision to follow Him and not long from that time he joined in with the PMED Program and eventually started a taxi business. He has been active in his church and also in PMED since the beginning; following Christ and growing his business have lead to a tremendous positive change in the life of his whole family.
