Popular Post ezzra Posted July 12, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) What's the point of being a homeless and a vagrant in Thailand? at least in their country they will have some access to government assistance and aid mainly with health, where in Thailand, they're no better than stray dogs.

I think locals are quite generous to such people, and I hear many instances where someone regularly supplies them with food and water. Health services are probably lacking but so they are in the West, you have to go seek them out, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no money for an airticket? "Foreigner" doesn't mean he comes from a country where you can claim assistance. ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of those programs are hard to access when you most need them, at least in the USA. They are bureaucratic nightmares. They sound good in theory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
