Kieran00001 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 9 hours ago, alex8912 said: Did you read my post? I saw her NOT playing an instrument! With my own eyes, at the sky walk at MBK somewhat in the way of people. If you are playing music on the street with no hat or tin can or something else out to put money in then you are playing music. Once the hat comes out it's begging. If you want to say asking for donations then all beggars ask for donations if they are playing music or saying some prayer to you. Some people have one small drum and suck at playing it and have a hat out. Is that busking to you?? Please. I also did not say busking is hi so, read my post. I read your post, did you manage to comprehend mine? If she started playing music then she went from begging to busking, that is just a fact. And your claim that playing music while asking for money is begging is just plain wrong, the very definition of busking is performing while requesting donations. And sorry, I did misread what you said regarding hiso, you actually said "I love people with musical backgrounds that think busking is very hi so and above begging and legal!", no doubt you are as misinformed on this point as the last, I don't think anyone thinks of it as being something high society, that is just bizarre, and I think almost everyone thinks of it as being above begging as it includes a service, and it is perfectly legal in most countries, in many they are a very important part of the tourist experience.

steven100 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 (edited) If one wishes to travel then one should have sufficient funds to support one's self for the entire journey. To assume anything less is irresponsible, stupid & naive. I won't give them 1 baht. She should ring mummy up if she's short of cash ....

Dave67 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 I was walking down Sukhumvit down to Villa in soi 33 one morning . A farang in an orange monks robe looking out of his brain prostrated himself in front of me holding a cup in his hand, I stepped over him and the locals were all laughing at him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupermarineS6B Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Busking, giving pleasure through music, sometimes with monetary rewards...... Didn't Buddha do the same ?....... Imparting wisdom for food ......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was not playing any instrument and had some note and something for people to put money in. She is begging and even if she started playing something she is still begging. I love people with musical backgrounds that think busking is very hi so and above begging and legal! Most countries you just can't start playing something and put a tin can out and get away with it for long. Why not just bring out the ingredients for your own som tum at the MBK bridge and start singing and selling it for a donation? Why would that be? I love music and often stop to listen to buskers. No one forces anyone to contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupermarineS6B Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 What about all the Thai Beggars/Buskers i see all over Sukhumvit ? Really, when is all this petty madness going to end in this rapidly becoming miserable place ? Oh let's not forget the blind beggars at Asoke station playing music as well...... Jesus H ! where has the goodness of humanity gone ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? I didn't say that she was a threat. She wasn't "imparting pleasure", she wasn't "imparting wisdom" either. What have monk's getting free food got to do with this also?
