The problem around the Giant Swing has gotten somewhat better during the last fortnight, following the death of King Rama IX. The areas these homeless most frequent include inner Bangkok zones like Sanam Luang, Hua Lamphong train station, Lan Khon Muang and the adjacent Giant Swing. Kindness and good management can work wonders together, take the example of the Gurdwara Siri Guru Singh Sabha -- a Sikh temple in Phahurat that's mastered the process of giving out free meals. Other places that hand out free food on a regular basis in Bangkok include Wat Sangkrachai Worawihan in Bangkok Yai and the National Council on Social Welfare of Thailand's office on Rajvithi Road.
