Residents are afraid this man might get hurt,
and are urging social services to come to his aid.

A man spotted running through traffic and talking to himself in Sattahip
apparently has been wandering the streets for months with no intervention
from social services.
In his mid-30s, the shirtless man described as thin with short messy hair
darted among cars at Chumphon Park March 9, scaring pedestrians who feared
he’d get hit. He darts to and fro, a bowl in hand and having a conversation
seemingly only with himself.
Neighbors said the man has an impoverished family on Soi Khao Phet, but
without enough to eat, he takes to the streets daily looking for food or
donations. Despite his frequent presence in the area, residents report no
one from the Sattahip city or district government have come to his aide.
