roberth2309 , how about you walk a mile in their shoes? I'll wait, anonymous coward. People don't beg when they have what they need. There should be a baseline of compassion in society and, if there isn't, then you yourself have a very small table and are probably a self-interested narcissist.

I'm sorry to Thailand for saying this, but I would rather take my chances roasting on the streets of Bangkok compared to freezing to death on the streets of the UK. I'm not homeless now but I was for a time in the UK and I can kinda compare the two. My family is dead and I have nothing in the UK so don't even judge unless you've walked in my bloody shoes. With the world going the way it is, I'm not surprised this is a rising crisis. Thank you to the Bangkok Community Help Foundation- I hope you get so much support because it's extremely valuable.

, did you say that you were physically outside of Thailand when you were applying for your visa online? Or did you apply from inside Thailand? *I know many people just ignore the advice and apply from inside Thailand anyway.

, Ah, the classic ‘I’m doing better life choices’ defence. Always a sign someone’s never had to make any hard ones.

, you don’t work a difficult job, I see. So far removed from the reality of the 99%. How nice. ☺️
