Neng, water
color on paper, 18x24 inch
For two years, Neng assembled DVD players at
an electronics factory in the Rayong industrial zone, making 7000 Baht each month,
her son with her mother upcountry. Then her father became ill and stopped work. In Thailand, there’s no pension plan,
unemployment insurance or disability, only the family,
especially the eldest daughter. She went
to work in Doll House on Soi Cowboy, where her monthly
take home is 30,000 Baht. Her life in
shreds, she,
her son and family will survive. At
least for now.
