This thesis is about social entrepreneurship and its role in addressing social issues. Some of social entrepreneurship’s main features includes its focus on creating social value, achieving a sustainable solution to the problems it addresses, and empowering its recipients. These characteristics turn social entrepreneurship into a good driver of social change, a goal that could be comparable to development aid and NGOs objectives. However, the scientific research around social entrepreneurship is still in its early stages. This study intends to bridge a gap in the literature by comparing social entrepreneurship with development aid and NGOs using a case study of Din-Daeng flat in Bangkok. Participant-observation, in-depth interviews, and surveys are the major methods employed in this research. The results show that some social issues, like the one reflected in the Din-Daeng flats, would find a better solution through social entrepreneurship than through official development aid and NGOs. At the end, this study provides a social entrepreneurship plan that could be used to address Din-Daeng’s issue.
