Unemployed man's plea for food on FB answered

Unemployed man's plea for food on FB answered

A Krabi welder's anguished plea in a Facebook post for rice to feed his family as he had no work due to the Covid-19 crisis alerted netizens to his plight, enabling delivery of food items on Saturday (April 11).

Piyachat Goythong, 45, posted a message on his Facebook account saying that his family, his wife, a daughter, sister-in-law, brother-in-law and himself had nothing to feed as they had no income.
He explained that he and his brother-in-law used to work as welders and received Bt400 wages but the construction in Krabi province was halted.
After the story was publicised, Krabi mayor Kirasak Phukaoluan travelled to his house and gave him 10 kilograms of rice and eggs to feed the family.
Suphanan, a nine-year-old girl in the house, was given Bt1,500 by the mayor to help her family during the hardship.
