The formerly stateless child has also been granted Thai nationality.

The house in Wattana Nakhon district, built by soldiers and funded by public donations, was on Thursday granted house registration No 148.

The girl’s success in getting the house registered after considerable difficulty has prompted local people to incorporate the three “lucky” digits into their choices of lottery tickets.

The girl and her 84-year-old adoptive father planned to apply for an electrical connection on Thursday afternoon, in time for a ceremony tomorrow at which Maj-General Hathaithep Kiratiangkoon, commander of the 19th Army Circle, will formally present the house to her.

Tents and chairs were being set outside the house in preparation for the ceremony.

The schoolteacher who drew the ire of local administrative officials by scolding them on Facebook for not helping the girl followed up with a thank-you message on the youngster’s behalf.

The teacher’s earlier public complaint had allegedly earned a threat of being transferred out of the district.

Soldiers completed the one-bedroom house on June 25, but the would-be occupants couldn’t move in because they were denied a house registration. They’ve had to continue living in a derelict shack.
