Pattaya officials have demonstrated a consistent ability to sign agreements to address the city’s homeless issue, but have struggled to make substantial progress in resolving the problem. A new memorandum of understanding (MOU) is set to be signed later this month, which aims to establish a “protection system” for people living on the streets. This follows another MOU signed in August of the previous year.

 

In contrast to last year’s agreement, involving the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security and the Chon Buri Protection Centre for the Destitute, the upcoming MOU will include signatures from a wider range of organisations. These include the Chon Buri Home for Children and Family, Thai Health Promotion Foundation, Burapha University, Institute of Asian Studies Chulalongkorn University, Banglamung Hospital, plus tourist and immigration police. The agreement intends to establish guidelines on how to manage homeless individuals when they are encountered by city or law-enforcement officials.

Same result again next year.

Everything - yet fail: flooding; road 'improvements'; road safety; corruption; dogs; police ...

Yet nobody write about it....
