Residents of Nonthaburi are calling for government intervention after a group of homeless individuals used their digital wallet funds, totaling 10,000 baht, to buy alcohol. The intoxicated group then defecated in public, causing distress due to the foul odor.

 

A Facebook user recently posted images of human feces under the Rama IV Bridge in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi, complaining about the issue and urging authorities to address it. The situation has reportedly persisted for some time due to the presence of numerous homeless individuals in the area.

 

On September 27, reporters visited the scene and confirmed the presence of human waste, as previously reported. A homeless man, visibly intoxicated and soiled with feces, was found sleeping in a nearby parking lot.

 

Attempts to communicate with him were unsuccessful, as locals confirmed he had a communication disability. Residents noted that after receiving funds from the government’s digital wallet program, a group of 4-5 homeless individuals regularly gathered in the area to drink alcohol.

Mr. Sane Kotasombat, a 61-year-old motorcycle taxi driver, expressed frustration, saying the vagrants didn’t disturb anyone with noise but their public defecation created discomfort for passersby. He urged the authorities to intervene, as most of the individuals in question were mute and used sign language to communicate, reported Daily News.

 

Mr. Surachai Sukklam, another motorcycle taxi driver, echoed these concerns. He noted that the group often drank in the area and urinated nearby, creating an unpleasant environment. Despite previous attempts by the Pak Kret municipality to resolve the issue, the problem persists.

 

Locals are requesting that authorities take appropriate action to resolve the situation.
