The new, elevated house ensures the six-member family much better living conditions. Her parents were poor with the father the sole breadwinner, struggling to support them on a small income from fishing. It was widely shared on social media, and then picked up by mainstream media. The house was handed over to the girl’s family on Tuesday in a ceremony attended by Nakhon Si Thammarat governor Sakol Chantarak and her school director, Mr Anant. On behalf of the whole family, the father Sunthorn Liamtrai profusely thanked all the kind samaritans who helped them have a new home.
