Life, Suwitcha Chaiyong, Published on 06/05/2019
» South Korea is one of the most popular destinations for Thais -- both tourists and illegal workers.

We live in the Bang Na area just opposite Central City and since the last rainy season ended all the equipment used to pump out water has just been left without any sign of regular maintenance.
