Low cost apartment is the great option for people who have the low income or the one who have limited budget for rooms and accommodations.
Especially in Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, there are so many low cost apartments around the area because the number of population in Bangkok is increasing every year. As labors from all over the country migrated to work in city area, their choice of places to stay is nowhere except the budget apartments for rent that offer the affordable price for their salary range.
Since the price for renting is very low, so does the living quality of the place that is also reflected by poor security system, bad neighborhood, drug problems and violence. As you can see from the daily newspaper, there are so many crimes and violence which usually occurred in this kind of budget apartments or flats.
Most of violence in the apartment that occurs is always related to the problem about money. Loan shark is one of the major problems for the low income society. Due to the fact that these people with limited knowledge and skills usually can not raise enough money for making a living of their own family or even oneself. Therefore loan shark is one of the easiest ways out to raise quick cash. However, in the end they usually can not pay back the loan, together with the super high amount of interest. That is the violence stating point. Physically abuse will be a result of loan shark problem as the threatening action for paying back money to the loaner.
Sribumpen apartment is the 30 years old apartment which locate near the center of Bangkok and in this apartment have many case about rob, murder and suicide. Such as on 11 April 2008, the man was killed with the knife in his room by his gay partner because the murder has a fight with the dead because he don’t have the money to play back the loan and the dead don’t give him the money, he got angry and dig the dead with a knife 4-5 time and then run away. After they find the body on 11 April 2008 the police arrest the murder in a few days.
