Bee Inthanon, 11, a fifth-grade student of Sin Rae Siam School in Ratchaburi's Suan Phueng district, knows all about hardship. For him, studying is a luxury -- second to putting bread on the table.
He and his brother live with their grandparents in a small wooden shack in a property where Bee's grandfather works. After school, or on his days off, Bee assists his grandmother as a cattle herder. Her salary was cut from 9,000 baht to 3,000 baht a month due to the pandemic.
