Homelessness Remains Pressing Concern for Pattaya

[webfact]

Pattaya municipal officers have been intensifying their daily efforts to address the issue of homelessness in the city, yet the problem persists.

Municipal officers conducted a recent operation to manage and relocate homeless individuals around the city recently.

 

During their patrol, they found two homeless individuals, a man and a woman, lying across the entrance of a residence near the TIP shop on Thepprasit Road, blocking the doorway just before the Thappraya intersection.

 

The officers removed them from the area and are coordinating with relevant social welfare agencies to find their family.

There are plenty of resources in this world, and sufficient for all.

 

The reasons for homelessness are multifaceted, and range from mental illness to bohemianism.

 

Living on the street, rough, is probably not the life of riley.

 

Anytime I see someone living on the street, 

I am reminded of the wonderful novel...

 

 

What is our world coming to?

Agree, it's a shame the $ multibillionaire with golden boots can't fund a homeless project.

Old Win Taxi man has been homeless for a couple months in Pratamnak.  Not enough customers.  Daughter came and took him to Nahkon Ratchasima but after 4 days he was bored and came back.

There will always be a bottom rung. Too easy to just blame those above them

I'm not blaming the people who have made it good, we need them in society.

I'm blaming the government for not implementing a safety net for those that haven't.

Cascading a little of the wealth to where it is needed instead of it sitting in fat bank accounts.

I was thinking of this too..... my thoughts were in Pattaya I don't see many, more in Bangkok, and bloody loads of them when I did my last trip to UK. (Sat in front of most supermarkets with a soppy dog). Far bigger issue in Western countries.
