After a sudden layoff, Saowaluk is 2 months behind on rent and has a final eviction notice from the landlord.
🇹🇭 Bang Khen, Bangkok, Thailand936 views
When the packaging plant closed in May, I fell 2 months behind on rent. Last Sunday a final eviction notice was taped to my door, and the amount I owe is $1,100.
My landlord has been understanding for a while, but he has now been clear: if the arrears aren't cleared by September, we must leave.
I have three school-aged children at home. Moving isn't just an expense - it would mean new schools, a new commute and no deposit to put down anywhere else.
I have started working evenings as a cleaner, and I'm applying for help from local services, but nothing will arrive in time without the rest of the gap covered here.
The money will be paid directly to the landlord and I'll upload the receipt once it's done.
Where the $1,100 goes:
• Utilities in arrears: $35
• Rent arrears (2 months): $830
• First month of rent as a buffer: $235

Thinking of you and your family. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. Love from Makati.
