Cinederose Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 Thankyou , just a observation but begging on Sukhumvit has grown recently and i am not just talking about the Thais , A syrian woman in Black hijab with a pram stops a lot of people for money , she stopped me and of course pointed at the baby then just Random people who were not thai asked for support , up and close i think south americans came up to me then a guy outside thermae an American needed money badly , beard , baseball hat says " god bless you " every few seconds pours it on very experienced said he lost his bank card did not have a email or phone needed money on the spot , asked for money to buy water so ok then i opened my wallet and he wanted it all for food, i only handed over 20 baht as i am poor myself but then walking back i remembered meeting him five years ago on soi 4 same act , hey buddy can you spare a dime in his fifties , i just feel i was taken ( ok 20 baht ) long time he has been here i think , its tough if you do not want to go back , i do not want to go back to europe a crumbling state and i pay taxes so hardly bumming it so i understand its not easy anyway observations as i film :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulci Gorgon Posted April 23, 2023 Share Posted April 23, 2023 This is one of the classical scams you can find in Thailand : a farang pretends he lost hios credit card or was stolen his wallet etc ... and asks for money. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then can walk around or stand at intersection etc and beg, but they do not want to work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Foriegners in Thailand begging starts a whole new conversation one guy interviewed said he made 3000 baht a day easy , if you went up to every foreigner you see and ask for 10 baht yeah it would work as no one expects it , europe cities have been doing it a while , as long as this guy does his visa runs then yes he can do this long time without blowback , :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
