Traisulee Traisoranakul, secretary to the interior minister, said Anutin became aware of the difficulties faced by Moken children on the island through social media. A bridge construction project initiated in 2014 had been left unfinished, forcing students to wade through waist-deep water to reach their schools.
On Saturday, the Facebook page “Monsoon Garbage” posted photographs of young students wading through waist-deep water across the river next to an unfinished bridge.
The page addressed Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin, asking him to approve the construction of the bridge as a Children’s Day gift to the Moken kids.
