Fair sentiment, but reasons for such shame are plentiful and they just carry on. I made a similar comment wrt Pattaya's pavements. We get platitudes and sometimes reactive effort when issues get highlighted. They know no shame...... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially filming before she even asks for the soup. She also doesn't look particularly dishevelled to me, nor all that malnourished. I have no doubt that there are many poor people struggling in Thailand right now, but this girls doesn't look like she is sharing one bag of noodle soup between five at each meal. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Misterwhisper Posted April 1, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 1, 2022 Fake, scripted video. No noodle stall proprietor would ask somebody who orders 1 bag of noodle soup how many people are going to share it. 9 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No noodle stall proprietor would ask somebody who orders 1 bag of noodle soup how many people are going to share it. It's quite likely a staged video which was re-enacted after the original event. I would have done the same in the hope that it went viral on tiktok to draw attention to the poor girl's light. I don't think they created a fake video out of a vacuum. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thailand49 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Shame in able to have shame one must know the definition! Even before Covid nothing during Covid nothing after Covid it will still be nothing. The article says "need" they should demand!

As previously posited previously in posts, perhaps this has occurred several times, so they were either ready and waiting, or asked the child to re-enact her arrival. Thais are very bound to re-enacting situations 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not, but she represents the millions of Thais who don’t get to eat their daily quota. Shame on the prime Minister, and every official who works for the Thai government. No doubt their daughters and wives are queuing up in Central Embassy to buy the latest Gucci or Prada . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
