Asian Trails launches Bangkok slum tours
BANGKOK – Tour operator Asian Trails has launched visits to “the hidden slum world of Bangkokâ€.
The Klong Toey area is the oldest and largest slum in Bangkok.
Asian Trails says the slum communities are made up of a majority of rural migrants from northeast Thailand who came to Bangkok for job opportunities.
Tours – held every Wednesday -visit the Duang Prateep Foundation whose primary focus has been to help the urban poor, with a special emphasis on community development and on giving the best possible opportunities to the children of the area.
Tour participants receive an overview of the project and also interact with young schoolchildren.
Asian Trails says, “This eye opening experience…aims to counter the negative image of slums and increase understanding and empathy.â€
A donation of THB 250 per person is donated to the Duang Prateep Foundation.
