Pattaya Mayor Helps Homeless


Pattaya Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome recently donated survival packs to the homeless people in the Khopai community.

After the land they were living on was repossesed by the owner, a group of families in Khopai Soi 12 were left with no place to sleep.
Pattaya Mayor Itthiphol quickly responsed by donating survival packs to the people before helping them look for a place to build their temporary shelters.
Mr. Virat Joijinda, Chairman of the Khopai community said, “Eleven families were left homeless when land was taken back by the owner. These people usually pay 600-800 baht rent for the land per month. The families do not make a lot of money so they can not afford to live anywhere else. They are mostly garbage collectors and generate income from selling garbage.”
Pattaya Mayor added, “Apart from the survival packs we will also find a suitable place for these people to build their temporary homes. We think it will be at Threpprasit Soi 5
