marcusd Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Assuming most of these patients were druggies or prostitutes, I can see the villagers point. Maybe they don't like living near criminal types. Feel the compassion. How would you like a halfway house for the criminally insane set up next to your home?Or an Aryan biker gang club house ........ Same sort of thing. If Aryan races actually existed I would pay to build one near you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chonburiram Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Nowadays, with the antiviral medicines available, there is no need to ghettoing HIV/Aids sufferers in a way like this. To me, this looks like a donation scam directed to the uninformed gullible... I have 2 close friends with AIDS who live normal lives in their communities, they are accepted by the population and registered at their local hospital for free AIDS treatment, the only difference to the others is, that they see their doctors monthly and take their medicine religiously at 8 o' clock in the morning and 8 o' clock in the evening, one is a resident of Rayong, the other of Chonburi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnThailandJohn Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Hopefully the good news is that this may cause the charity to see a huge flow of donations in to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedly Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 how about a vote from the whole of Pattaya to remove these unsavoury village a s s hol s, I honestly think that they would find they are not welcome, 131 votes to thousands to have them evicted - you now have 6 months to FC k off - the people have voted - ram it right to them, and exactly why so called village head men should and their ilk should be gone it is honestly the most discusting thing I heard here in a long time grrrrrrrrr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokay Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 The true face of Thainess. This place deserves all the pain and suffering that happens to it. For all the fake faces running about, making merit so they can win the lotto, it's nothing but a sham show. Fake monks included. At least they didn't have them killed off. And you're a fool if you think that wasn't brought up at least once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you These Villagers should be run out of town - might just serve as an example of how not to behave Like I said - since they think their vote counts - lets have a vote from the whole City to see if these discusting village people should be allowed to remain here This Charity should remain exactly where they are and not be intimidated by a few people........I say they should stand their ground - the so called vote they had is absolutely meaningless.............get it into court grrrrrrr Edited December 16, 2014 by smedly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 HIV network, govt offer to help end rowChularat SaengpassaThe NationResidents of Chon Buri community say charity is driving tenants awayBANGKOK: -- THE THAI NETWORK of People Living with HIV/Aids (TNP+) - and a state health agency - say they are ready to try to resolve a conflict between a Chon Buri community and a charity organisation over a shelter for people with HIV.The conflict took a bad turn on Friday, when members of the Lang Noen Community in tambon Nong Preu in Chon Buri's Bang Lamung district voted 131 to 30 to force Glory Hut Foundation to leave the village."We can step in to facilitate communication between the two sides so they have mutual understanding," TNP+ chairman Apiwat Kwangkaew said yesterday.He said getting the foundation to relocate would not help, because similar opposition could arise in other places, especially if people continue to misunderstand HIV and how the virus is transmitted."The residents' efforts to drive out the foundation only reflects their fear and misunderstanding," Apiwat explained, adding that it was important for the Glory Hut to build effective communication channels with local people."Explain what the foundation is doing and what it will do next, so as to clear up any misunderstanding, to ease fear and win trust," he advised.Apiwat said although people realise that HIV is sexually transmitted, they can still feel afraid when communication is inadequate. "In fact, we need to talk more to change attitudes not just at community, but also national levels."The Disease Control Department (DCD), meanwhile, has also decided to step in and help the foundation.DCD director general Sopon Mekthon said yesterday that officials and networks working with people living with HIV would visit the community on Sunday to look for solutions."This should help people become aware of the persistent discrimination against those who are HIV-positive and engage members of society in tackling this problem," he said.Lang Noen community chairman Wichien Weluwan said locals, in fact, had no problems with people who are HIV-positive."It's just that their presence has hurt the local economy, so co-existence is not possible."Landlords had complained that tenants cancelled rental contracts after the foundation opened its doors to people who are HIV-positive."And these landlords have mortgages that they need to pay, so without tenants, they are in trouble," Wichien explained.The foundation, located downtown, has dozens of HIV-positive people under its care."They don't have anywhere else to go," the foundation's chairperson Pornsawan Chrispirak said.Glory Hut spokeswoman Chanchanok Khamtong said the foundation had run out of funds and could not move out at present. "We simply don't have the funds to move anywhere else," she said. "We're not disturbing anybody - we just want to take care of our patients."Officials from Chon Buri Municipality said they would help find better accommodation for the foundation."We sympathise with those living with HIV. It's just that it's going to be better for their home to be away from the community zone," Wichien said.He added that the community was willing to provide financial support to help the foundation relocate.Source: http://www.nationmultimedia.com/national/HIV-network-govt-offer-to-help-end-row-30250007.html-- The Nation 2014-12-17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True ive been to vietnam and cambodia and laos and saw they still have dignity . One cafe in cambodia a rich looking caucasian tourist dropped a twenty dollar tip purposely instead of handing it to the staff and the cambodian kicked it back at her LMFAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. BOOZER Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 What about some practical help for the Glory Hut Foundation? All this 'hot air', whatever your own nationality or religious persuasion is not going to change the attitude of nearby residents. I am well aware that there are some local expats, individuals and business', that do provide assistance to the Glory Hut, but suspect that there are people, who have posted on this topic, that live within easy travelling distance, who could visit, and see for themselves what sterling work is in place. Don't forget, this is supposed to be 'The Season of Goodwill', so what about making a contribution to this, in my opinion, very good cause? http://www.rotary-phoenix-pattaya.org/index.php/projekte/8-unsere-projekte/11-glory-hut-foundation http://www.gloryhutfoundation.or.th/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
