096: Why Are Foreigners Becoming Homeless in Thailand? (Feat. Friso Poldervaart)

096: Why Are Foreigners Becoming Homeless in Thailand? (Feat. Friso Poldervaart)

In this episode, I sit down with Friso Poldervaart, co-founder of Bangkok Community Help Foundation, to discuss a growing issue that many people don't realize exists: foreign homelessness in Thailand. Friso and his team work directly with homeless individuals across Bangkok, including both Thai nationals and foreigners who have fallen on hard times. We discuss why more foreigners are ending up homeless, the common mistakes people make before moving to Thailand, and what happens when someone runs out of money with nowhere to go. We also dive into Bangkok's broader homelessness crisis, the opening of the city's first inner-city homeless shelters, and how Bangkok Community Help is helping the community and rebuilding lives.
