Anong Thawong, an official of Thepha View Condominium on Soi Thepharak 102 in Tambon Thepharak of Samut Prakan's Muang district, said the mother, Puang Sukphodee, 77, and her son, Pallop Sukphodee, 46, have been surviving on help from neighours without help from government agencies. Anong said Pallop has been helpless and bed-ridden since 2001, following a road accident that also damaged his brain. Anong said neighbours and condo officials have taken turns to take care of the mother and son by feeding them food and and changing their diapers. She said the manager of the condo also gave her Bt200 a day to buy food for the mother and the son. Anong said she would like government agencies to step in to help for fear that the mother and son could develop bed sores that could turn fatally infectious.
