The new upscale version of a farang beggar is to create a “Go fund me Account “. aka E-Begging.
Not as dirty, a little more dignified than sitting on a sidewalk with a cup or pestering people as they walk away from an ATM.
Works great those who come to Thailand way before they should with Lack of Funds or Inadequate Funds.
Perfect for those who:
1. Hoped to be a digital nomad in Thailand but it didn’t quite work out according to plan.
2. Want to be the next “Mining for Bitcoin” millionaire.
3. Actually believe the “I can live in Thailand for $500.00 USD a month ” blogs.
4. Come with $50k USD thinking it will last forever and buys a bar and is broke within one year.
5. Abandoned their job back home after a visit. Been working dead end jobs for years (bar manager most popular). No health insurance, no savings, no pension, no longer vested in their country’s Social Security or equivalent. The years have taken their toll and have a major illness.
6. Short term holiday makers will no insurance or medical evacuation insurance.
Just to name a few.
7. Add yours!
