Thailand
Klong Toey is an area of Bangkok that most tourists will never visit. It is the slums where the poorest people live. Here you will meet real Thai people, people who are dealing with the harshest aspects of life in Bangkok. They are friendly with nothing to offer but a sincere smile. They are happy to see visitors, it shows people care. A visit to Klong Toey will leave you questioning what you thought you knew about Thailand, and perhaps even about yourself and what you thought you valued.
The Duang Prateep Foundation is an NGO that helps people in Klong Toey. Their website is: www.dpf.or.th or visits can sometimes be arranged through globalfocustours@gmail.com.
