Nongprue Mayor Mai Chaiyanit, welfare officials and representatives of the Ban Jing Jai Foundation, Mercy Pattaya Center and Nongprue Women Development Group donated money and consumer products to the family as they moved into an apartment on Soi Mabyailia 22 arranged by the subdistrict.
Narakorn Pornwanchat, 22, his 18-year-old wife and 4-year-old daughter had been living in a tent along the Mabprachan Reservoir after the father lost his job before the latest Covid-19 shutdown.
