THE Thai version of the movie “The Terminal” played out in real life after a mysterious 28-year-old woman got help after living at Suvarnabhumi Airport for almost two months while waiting to be picked up by her mother, Sanook.com said today (Oct. 22).

 

Ms. Paweena Hongsakul, chairman of the Paweena Foundation for Children and Women, went to the airport to investigate after informing Ms. Wannapha Sukkong, head of Samut Prakan Social Development and Human Security Office,  Mr. Charin Khaosud, director of the Samut Prakan Centre for the Protection of the Homeless, and Ms. Panisara Salakornthanawat, head of the Samut Prakan Children’s Home, about this case.

 

Once there she was told that Ms Noi (pseudonym),  who was thin and looked hungry, had lived at the airport terminal’s first floor, gate four, for almost two months.

What a bout a phone ? Did she not have one ? No friends to call ?

Strange story .. may be she is mentally handicapped and needs psychiatric help ?

Raises more questions than answers. Glad that she is now in better care.

Maybe her mother does too!

Airport security was aware she had been "living" on the first floor for almost 2 months begging people for money and shoplifting to survive? Until someone contacted PFCW to investigate the woman's situation?

Airport security role needs some updating. 

 

This story might give some of the cheap Charlie expats and tourists ideas.  Saving money on accommodations and other expenses.

Rather a xenophobic post?

Nice to see all the above agencies spring into action after 2 months.

I think the Airport Security need as much help, if not more than the Lady

Another prime example of " not my Job " 

The security personal at the airport need to get a grip and do their jobs properly 

Could be more around doing the same thing ????

Of course it is of no interest at all to a self certified  "Quality Tourist" like yourself
