PHUKET: The 4th Army Region of the Royal Thai Army set up a food kitchen at the Rawai Pier bridge yesterday (Sept 20) to provide food to the Rawai sea gypsy community that has been under enforced lockdown since Sept 15.

 

The Royal Field Kitchen Car has been preparing and distributing food in Phuket since Sept 10, visiting different areas across the island to help provide food to people who are struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

Yesterday, Mr. Anupap Rodkwan Yodrabham, Permanent Secretary of Phuket Province and Mr. Arun Soros, Mayor of Rawai Sub-district, Rawai Subdistrict Municipality Administration, joined to receive lunch boxes from the van which would then be distributed to the local sea gypsy community.

Sea Gypsies: "Aww! Not rice and fish again!" Is Khun Arun related to the other Soros? 

 

Army kitchens should have been set up in tourist places and other cities last year to help the unemployed etc.
