Residents of a condominium in Chatuchak district, Bangkok, raised concerns about a growing number of homeless individuals who have taken up residence in front of their building, indulging in alcohol and glue sniffing, and leaving food waste scattered. Despite repeated reports to local government officials, the issue remains unresolved.

 

A post on the Facebook page Drama-addict highlighted the problem, with a resident seeking assistance. The resident asked, “Can I report the homeless people around my condo? The Ideo Phaholyothin Chatuchak condo has a significant number of homeless people, nearly 10. They consume alcohol, sniff glue, and leave food waste everywhere. It is extremely dirty.”

 

The condominium’s management has reported the situation to local government officials multiple times, but the homeless individuals continue to return to the same spot. The resident expressed fear that this group might pose a threat, especially considering the high number of women and children living in the condo.


“I am afraid that this group might cause some frightening incidents because there are many people, including women and children, living in this condo.”

 

The situation has escalated to a point where residents are increasingly worried about their safety and the cleanliness of their living environment. The presence of nearly 10 homeless individuals engaging in such behaviour has created a sense of unease among the condo inhabitants, reported KhaoSod.

 

“We have reported this issue several times, yet nothing has changed. We are genuinely concerned for our safety and the cleanliness of our home.”

One thing I have always like in Thailand that they leave the poor and the mentally disturbed in peace. 

There is no social safety net, but at least it's not a punishable offense to sleep on the sidewalk,  like it is in many rich countries.

 

Yes, quite.

In Thailand, those homeless often make their living collecting plastics, empty tins, and bottles(by selling them to the recyclers).

And they very rarely harm others.

And unlike in the first world, violence against such vulnerable people is not so common.

While quite a number of homeless bullying  is reported  in the west.

Some assh*les even post their scene of crimes on internet.

In order to find out things are even worse than in BKK?

Homelessness in USA is the pretty common Youtube topic now days.

Takes only less than 10 seconds to find out heaps of such videos...

You obviously have not grown up with some Thai kids. Tossing fire crackers and water balloons is not unusual. Some merchants use very strong chemical washes on their front entrances to clear the vagrants. A leaking, noisy air conditioner unit is very effective too.

 

How would you know if the gas and glue huffers don't harm others? Their brains are fried and they typically lose  reasoning ability after a year of it. The yaba fiends are worse. They attack and then run off.

 

And yes, bullying is as frequent in Thailand as anywhere else. Because you don't see it, doesn't mean that it does not occur.  My friend's neighborhood had a problem of vagrants going through the garbage making a mess of things. They were dealt with by some gentlemen who gave them a proper spanking such that they did not return.

 

And don't knock Bumfights. It was popular all over the world.  There wasn't a high school or college kid in the early 2000's who had not searched for the online videos. They were right up there with Milf Adventures, Midget Sex and best sport match fights.

Illegal in my home country.

I have often seen bullying and physical aggression between Thais, and sometimes between Thais and foreigners. 

I have never seen it directed at homeless people. That doesn't mean it doesn't occur, but it's not the typical Thai way to deal with them.
