Popular Post snoop1130 Posted December 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2023 A late-night encounter with an elderly woman asleep on her tricycle sparked a viral sensation and an outpouring of sympathy. TikTok user @nongpraew56, a young model, mistakenly turned down a dim side street and discovered an elderly woman sleeping on a three-wheeled bicycle laden with collected scrap. Accompanied by a friend, the model approached the sleeping woman, waking her gently. The woman shared her life’s circumstances, revealing that she lived in the forest and cared for 20 to 30 stray dogs. Touched by her story, the young model gave the woman some money for food, receiving a heartfelt blessing in return. The video quickly went viral, amassing over 1.8 million views. Viewers responded with empathy, expressing concern for the elderly woman’s harsh living conditions and admiration for her compassion towards stray dogs. Some commenters warned the model of the potential dangers of such night-time encounters, emphasising the fortunate outcome that the elderly woman was not a criminal.

Popular Post impulse Posted December 11, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 11, 2023 Gosh, I hate to be this way. And I don't know any of the players from Adam or Eve. But every time I see something go viral like this (with all the revenue and donation potential), I can't help but wonder if it was staged. 1 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If politicians had the guts to get rid of corruption once and for all, no people in Thailand would have to live like this! All the money from brown envelopes, could be used to help the poor and elderly to get a better life. Edited December 12, 2023 by Xonax 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly... people like the brown uniform brigade raking in millions, military mis-spending, kick-backs, skimming, officials like the excise man taking what belongs to the people. I've always said, corruption is the bane of this country, it's endemic and rooted at every level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
