Devoted Dad Commutes 100km Daily to See Newborn
A devoted father commutes 100km daily from Lopburi to Bangkok for work, returning home each evening to spend time with his newborn baby despite arriving after midnight.
A salaried worker has touched hearts by sharing his daily commute routine from Lopburi to his job at Prom Phong in Bangkok. On August 11, TikTok user @fahskyler posted a review of his life as a commuter, writing: "Review of a salaried worker's life: commuting daily from Lopburi to work at Prom Phong." His schedule begins at 6:30 a.m. with a shower and getting ready, followed by a drive in his electric car from Lopburi to the parking building at Din Daeng—about 1.5 hours. He then takes the BTS from Din Daeng station to Prom Phong station, approximately 1 hour, and walks to his office in the M Quarter building, arriving by 10:00 a.m. He leaves work around 3 p.m., stops to charge his car, and arrives home around midnight. The reason behind his exhausting daily commute is simple: he wants to see his wife and newborn baby every evening. In his post, he emphasized that despite the fatigue, he never stops, wanting to be a father his child will be proud of. His personal dreams matter less now—his only dream is to see his child's dreams come true. The post sparked widespread comments and support, with the user noting in replies that on days with early morning meetings or when especially tired, he sometimes stays at his mother's place in Don Muang.
