Kevin's left stranded after Thailand dream turns sour

Kevin Brooks

Kevin Brooks, 44 and originally from Wythenshawe, moved to Asia two years ago to be nearer to his mum and stepdad.

He told how his stepdad, however, suddenly lost his job and now can't work legally in the country as he's a foreigner.

Kevin says his mum and stepdad live in a small flat with just a single room and only enough space for themselves.

As a result, he says he's been sleeping rough or sometimes in stifling conditions inside a car.
