Friendly visitor needed for a 79-year-old neighbor in Bangkok

An hour a week, a chat, and a cup of tea - that's all Fon is asking for.

I'm writing for my neighbor Fon, who's 79. Fon lives alone in Bangkok, and lost a lifelong friend last year. The nearest family lives on the other side of the country. Fon loves local history, and would enjoy someone to chat with. An hour a week, perhaps on Tuesday afternoon, would mean the world. We can also arrange a phone call if you can't visit in person. All visitors will be introduced by me and I'll be there at the first meeting. I'll share references and, if you'd like, a short orientation from the local befriending charity. No special skills are needed - just kindness and patience. Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

  • sending strength, Chai. Hope the doctors have good news. Please keep us posted. Thinking of Bangkok

    • Best of luck, Chai. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 7 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Gwagwalada.

      • Thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

        • Stay strong, Chai. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Rome but we're thinking of you. All the best

          • thinking of you and your family. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side
