Restauranteur shows kindness as Myanmar workers hit with more discrimination
A Bangkok restaurant owner announced on social media that she was ready to welcome all Myanmar nationals to her eatery after many shops and stores decided to shut their doors to migrants amid the new Covid-19 wave.
The virus has returned to Thailand and most of the infected persons this time are migrant workers from Myanmar. This has given rise to prejudice against Myanmar nationals, but also an online movement calling for equality and human dignity between locals and foreigners.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday night, Chatthamon Singtankong said migrant workers living in and near the Prachauthit area were welcome to dine at her restaurant.
She has even offered to provide free food to those who don’t have money. Her restaurant is open from 6am to 7pm daily.
Her post was applauded by other Facebook users, and some even wanted to donate her money, but she refused.
