Not a clever way to end homelessness , fine the people who are earning money , stop them from selling things and take their money................which will actually make them homeless REading the article the Cambodians are obviously here and working illegaly they will be deported, but they probably will be comeback soon, or other will be coming, there are cambodians selling things in walking street since at least 20 years, just under the eyes of the police, so i presume some thais have interest in the business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChipButty Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Do they really need 50 Para military's to round up just a few harmless hobo's as they put it arresting them isn't going to solve the problem let me tell you homeless people dont give a flying <deleted> about the police all part of living rough from meal to meal at least here in Thailand it's still warm. The Thai government would rather this problem would go away on it's own well it's not this is just going to get worse by the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlyai Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 2 hours ago, Stocky said: Sure that's what wikiwhatever says, but do people actually say "I'm a hobo" or "I'm a vagrant"? I doubt it. It's a label attached to them, not something they would profess to be. A bunch of crappy circumstances has put them on the street with no roof over their head. Not all, say I. Send them to Suksabai Villa and get rid of the squatters with 5 cats, 5 or more dogs, 15000 Roosters (Seems like it at 0300hr), hens and garbage everywhere. Probably a few crocodiles and mossies the size of March flies in the stagnet water at the bottom of the abandoned swimming pool. When I was a Hobo I enjoyed my rare trip to Walking Street. Specially the Mekong Knee Walk Runs. ON ON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is with the drug addicts and vagrant's they will just return to the same area like in most cities. They don't want help just more drugs. Also addiction can be cured, sure not by people with your mindset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamB80 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Jomtien beach needs to be cleared out as well. Mentally ill drug addicts and homeless are everywhere on the beach, the cops were down there a few days ago poking a thai laying drunk in the sand to make sure he was still alive. Didn’t move for about 10 minutes, he looked dead but they got some reaction from him and let him be. thais have really shown their true selves to me during the last 4 months. Never seen such an angry bitter side to them as many are struggling to make ends meet and easy to blame the foreigners. The scowls are there everyday, it’s something in their eyes that’s hard to explain but I recognize it immediately when I see it. I’m leaving soon and will never return. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, temples are in business to worship non-existent deities and holy men. They are not interested in the here and now, only the hereafter.????

Pattaya can not be a world class resort there is none of the basics standarts for it in the city the quality of the beach and the sea water, the traffic the sidewalks, the electric wires and the list is endless nothing here is even at a normal good standart Of course if a visitor stay all his holidays in the Royal Cliff resort and never put a foot outside of it. he is allowed to think he was in a world class ressort.

You're judging based on totally arbitrary criteria. Here's a judgement based on numbers alone... In 2019, Bangkok ranked 1st surpassing Paris and London in Mastercard's list of "Global Destination Cities Index 2019" with 22.78 million visitors. Phuket was 14th with 9.89 million visitors and Pattaya 15th with 9.44 million visitors. 15th most popular destination in the world... That's world class. In terms of strictly beach towns it's #2 in the world, behind Phuket. Which, I'm sure, will put even more panties into a wad... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Thailand https://newsroom.mastercard.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/GDCI-Global-Report-FINAL-1.pdf Oooh... And just to rub it in... Thailand has the #1 destination city, and the #1 and #2 destination beach towns IN THE WORLD. Maybe TAT is doing something right after all?

steven100 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) 17 hours ago, kingofthemountain said: You are right, every man can have a shelter and food in a temple in Thailand however they need to comply with the rules of the temple, no smoking, no drink alcohol, respect the hours, work to clean the temple and so on a lot of the homeless are drug or alcohol addicts, they are unable and don't want to respect any rule, the problem is the same in western countries. Plus you have the problem of the women, a lot of them want stay with their ''boyfriend'' and vice versa, and the temples don't accept couples. It's not simple and there is no quick solution to solve the problem. By chance you don't have here (Yet) on the sidewalk hordes of 10\15 homeless with dogs, both with agressives behaviour. like it is in my country of origin. Someone who knows what these street sleepers are actually like. Folks on here haven't a clue about how how these people act and what they are like. They don't want a nice warm bed and comfy pillow, they want a packet of smokes and they want to sit in the alley and abuse anyone walking past. They don't want to follow any rules .... they want their drug whatever that may be. Edited August 11, 2020 by steven100 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
