A heartbreaking incident unfolded on the morning of October 16, as authorities discovered the body of a newborn male infant in a trash bag outside a row of rental apartments in the Phra Khanong district of Bangkok. The discovery was made by a garbage collector who immediately alerted the police.

 

At approximately 09:00 Pol. Lt. Pichai Sriamorn, investigator at Phra Khanong Police Station, received a report regarding the discovery of the infant’s body. A team of officials, including forensic experts, medical examiners from Chulalongkorn University’s Faculty of Medicine, and volunteers from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, rushed to the scene.

 

 


The site of the discovery was outside a five-story building in Sukhumvit 95. Inside a fabric bag left near a blue trash bin, authorities found the body of a baby boy, estimated to have been born at around the seventh month of pregnancy. The infant had been wrapped in a black T-shirt, and other pieces of clothing were found covering the body. Officials believe the baby had been dead for about a day. A green garbage truck belonging to the Phra Khanong district office was nearby.

 

Marnop Ritthidej, a volunteer from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation, reported that a garbage collector had discovered the bag earlier in the morning. Upon emptying the trash, they were shocked to find the infant’s body and immediately contacted authorities.

 

Further investigation led police to identify the infant’s mother, a 21-year-old Myanmar national, Ms. Nan (surname withheld), who was living in the building. She was found weak and exhausted in her fifth-floor apartment. Ms. Nan admitted to being the child’s mother and explained that she had gone into labor prematurely the previous day at around 15:00 She stated that the baby was stillborn, and in a state of panic, she placed the body in the bag and discarded it in the trash.

 

Ms. Nan, along with her husband, are legal migrant worker employed in the construction industry. Both had proper work permits, which were presented to the authorities. They lived in the apartment and commuted to work daily.

 

Ms. Nan has been taken into custody at Phra Khanong Police Station for further investigation. Meanwhile, the infant’s body has been sent to Chulalongkorn Hospital for an autopsy.

The result of poor to no education at all. If you deliver a stillborn child, you call the hospital or police and everything is ok. Sadly people in this part of the world seem to have a habit of poor excuses and making it hard on themselves.

Sorry, but you seem to have no idea how the poor here in Thailand live and survive.

Call a hospital - why? She would need money. Hospitals here are like vultures when it comes to dealing with foreigners.

Does she even have a phone?

 

Thailand is not the perfect world that you suggest that it should be.

Where do you get everything from? I have very good knowledge of how every class live in Thailand including migrant workers.

As a legal migrant worker in Thailand, if not legal should not be here, they have two options. Either the employer include payment for health care in the salary, or they have the option to pay 2100 baht per year for access to Thai healthcare. That regardless of any pre-existing health problems. So if do things right as a migrant, the hospitals can not act like vultures, but I guess you didn´t know that.

Most people have a phone or shared access to a phone. Never said Thailand is a perfect world, but people need to understand what they need to do to take care of themselves. Basically that amount is smaller than they send home every month, so one month they just have to pay the necessary and send home less.

Don't even try to discuss with this guy about Thailand.
Simply ignore him.

Always on his high horse.

Loves to complain about all things Thai with sarcastic, snide and crass comments daily. 
It is hobby.

He can not go a single day without doing it.

 

Normal people feel sorry for these things happening to other people.

If the boy really was still born the poor mother would have been under a huge amount of physical and emotional stress.

Something that the resident know it all would have no idea about.

 

It is a sad, tragic story, but he just sees it as another opportunity to slag off.

I was also under the impression that a legal migrant worker could claim at the social security counter at local hospitals ??  :unsure:

I have 2 things to say. Jail her until she can't have kids any more. Plus this is what happens when this country does not believe in abortions.

   Both ways the baby ends up dead , both ways it ends up in the rubbish bin , just the abortion costs money and dumping the baby in the rubbish is free
