Yesterday I went for a walk around Bangkok.

I witnessed so many homeless people. I met an old lady and gave her 100 baht, when I walked back she had gone, probably to get some food.

Thai people sleeping everywhere where they can find some shade, obviously I can’t help everyone.

I seen another guy sleeping under the nana hotel sign when I was having a beer yesterday. I seen a well dressed ladyboy walk over to him, I was impressed I thought to myself she’s going to help him.

Unfortunately what I witnessed was the homeless guy giving the well dressed ladyboy 20 baht and leaving. 
 

I waited for about 30 minutes and the ladyboy never returned.
