Picture: Siam Rath

 

Thai media Siam Rath caught up with an inspirational man who has not let disability stand in his way of helping his young family.

 

Despite having atrophied legs Withoon, 49, who has moved from his native Songkhla to Satun after marriage, works all day as a food delivery guy on a motorcycle for Food Panda and Lineman.

 

He even hobbled up to the fifth floor on crutches to ensure his customer got their delivery.

 

"I never give up," he said. "I have two young kids and it would be unfair of me to have the wife do all the work while I sat about".

 

He said he needs to get 7,000 baht a month earning 500 baht a day to help make ends meet.

The doctors have warned him about getting his legs infected but he shrugs this off.

 

He thanked his companies for giving him work.

 

Neighbors told the media he is a shining example of hard work and is often seen doing household chores like cutting the grass and taking out the trash.
