Thailand Mosquito Net Home Under the Overpass

Thailand Mosquito Net Home Under the Overpass
I pass by a home made out of a Mosquito net as walk under and overpass on the way to a fresh food market here near Rangsit, Thailand.

I sometime see the owner of this living quarters lying on a couch. I think he is employed as a person who collect plastic bottles and sells them to a recycling company.



This is the overpass; it does make a good shelter from the rain.

Interesting that he would make it out of a mosquito net as opposed to cardboard or some other material. I guess it just goes to show how horrid the mosuito problem is!

And yes, it is a sad sight to see this...but you know what? It's reality.

That is very sad Andy. I America the homeless that live under bridges have gym's,living room, kitchen and enough left over for pets.

MIAMI — The state is trying to dissolve a community of sex offenders living under a bridge that includes a gym, kitchen, living room and two dogs.

The men have lived under the Julia Tuttle Causeway for a year. They say limited money and strict local ordinances make it nearly impossible for them to live anywhere else. But state officials are telling them to leave.

"We're urging them to find a residence. We want them to be able to reintegrate into society," said Gretl Plessinger, a spokeswoman for the Florida Corrections Department. "We are hopeful that if we push them, they will be able to find a residence that's better."

P.S. there are still people in New Orleans living under overpasses since the hurricain 3 years ago !
