Popular Post snoop1130 11,892 Posted June 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2020 Young Polish woman stranded in Phrae forest retreat since February By The Nation Generous locals in Phrae have come the rescue of an 18-year-old Polish woman who has been stranded in the northern province since February. The woman, named only as Monika, was unable to return home due to the Covid-19 pandemic and is now staying at the remote Mullbery Farm Denchai resort in the forested hills of the province. Resort owner Jaruwan Ekbua is letting her stay for free, while Phrae authorities and locals have donated money and necessities to help her through the lockdown period. Suchart Somboonteking, the headman of nearby Banmapraw Village, has asked provincial authorities to help care for the tourist until she is able to return home.

Popular Post Daveyh 625 Posted June 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2020 There is good & bad, kind & cruel in every society ............ definitely not news as it happens everywhere if you read the world news. It's only expats here on Thai Visa in Thailand that seem to "bash on" about what Thai's do & their ways of getting things done ........ most posts (my take about 90%) seem to relish in doing this. Pathetic, it's a if they can't wait to "slag off" someone at the first opportunity. I can only surmise that they all lead a very boring life which has worsened since covid19 & all the bars closing ....... must be hell for them not being able to continue their rent over a beer in a bar with "friends" .......... fact. 2 3 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites

That's why I moved from the city back to rural Thailand many years ago. Edited June 18, 2020 by connda 8 Link to post Share on other sites

Basically the locals have said enough is enough and want officialdom to step in and take over her costs. Shes lucky not to be in the detention centre with the Nigerians, nobody was legitimately stuck in Thailand. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of Thai Bashing , negative and condescending posters here. They tend to attach anyone who differs from their negativity, but they continue to live here. Not all but a lot of those who post comments. Makes no sense. Might be a cultural thing and/or having a chip on their shoulder. They spout "TIT" to explain negative things, but in reality it's their own failings. I try to avoid such people and associate with Thai friends and relatives. My failing is to answer them on this forum because they don't want to hear the truth. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You overthink this. Most of us go with the flow. You usually get kicked out after a while, which I expect will happen with this gal. Back to reality for you young lady.
