These beggars must accept a high level of risk when they travel to Thailand; many are thrown in jail and then deported in a worse state than before.  when the parents bring their children to work on the streets with them. They are at risk of being abused and exploited, are often unhealthy and are in danger of being hit by cars or motorcycles.  

There are more than 20,000 street children in Thailand’s major urban areas.

When parents have children, they realize they cannot afford to take care of them. Distrustful of the government-run orphanages, many simply abandon their children in the hands of babysitters, hoping they will find a home there.

 Bangkok’s invisible children are exploited for labor, sex and criminal enterprise.

Most of the people are not from Thailand. These beggars must accept a high level of risk when they travel to Thailand. But the biggest issue arises when they bring their children to work on the streets with them. They are at risk of being abused and exploited, are often unhealthy and are in danger of being hit by cars or motorcycles. The Khlong Toei slum gathers about 100000 people. Some of the problems are  ranging from obnoxious conditions of living to drug trafficking and high criminality rates and lack of safety, hygiene and privacy represent as well ethical issues on which governments cannot turn a blind eye on. ]]> 2018-01-26 04:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/alpwise/3DBangkok/wish/224932045 Shah, Iffah, Hyleene, Syakk https://padlet.com/alpwise/3DBangkok/wish/224932432 Their parents come to Bangkok to find work, usually as motorcycle taxi drivers or construction workers.

 Education in Thailand is free for Thai nationals up to the age of 13, at which point they need to satisfy academic entrance requirements and begin to prepare for university, which starts for students as young as 16 years old. 
  To be considered a Thai national, the child must have at least one Thai parent and the birth must have been registered in Thailand. Schools will ask for proof of this in the form of a birth certificate. Children who don't meet these requirements are not eligible for free public education in Thailand.
