News of the Klong Toey cluster of Covid-19 cases has unearthed a can of worms, especially about inequality in Thailand.
A growing gap between the richest and poorest Thais has largely led to the rise of congested communities in Klong Toey, homes to some 90,000 low-income residents that call it home.
The immense number of people congregating in one place during a pandemic is recipe for disaster. It took the government two waves of Covid-19 cases since last year to realise this and that only after countless residents began to contract the virus. This is as much unfortunate as unforgivable as we see a considerable number of cases daily.
