Farang Con-artist

[RAZZELL]

I was on lower Suk last week and saw the farang con-artist featured on the Stickman site...

He was holding a cardboard sign..."No money for plane ticket home etc etc etc"

Just wondered how long this low-life has he been "at it"...? And where is he from?

He was there before Christmas in the Soi 11 -13 area , must be making a career out of it .

( If its the same one )

Old news, search this forum and you'll see numerous reports. at one time (as far as I can remember) there was a sort of lynching posse being planned

Could someone send me a link to that picture? I believe I've seen him a few times before at Sala Daeng BTS.

Man, that guy has been doing it for years. I am surprised that the Thais who live and work in the areas where he regularly begs (Chidlom, Victory Monument and Sala Daeng BTS stations, amongst others) have not said something to him. Thais can be very gracious to people who they genuinely feel are down on their luck, but if they start to feel that they are being taken advantage of they can change quickly.

It's surprising that Thailand has not made "con-artist" a

reserved profession.

Yes, as these threads often degenerate into that kind of rubbish, but obviously it's just keyboard warriors talking as he's still doing it!

Best thing to do would be to interview him, video the interview, upload it onto YouTube and then post the link to it here.

Any takers?

No, it's planning on becoming a con-artist hub.

Bkkmadness has already done this a few months ago, just waiting for him to put it on YouTube and give us the link.

He told me he was editing it or something but that was a long time ago now.

dont mean to to state the obvious, but maybe you should ask him, Im sure he is more aware of his history then anyone here

I was on lower Suk last week and saw the farang con-artist featured on the Stickman site...

Er, hello.

This man is a con-artist. Telling the truth isn't going to be high on his agenda.

[bkkmadness]

Sorry lads, I been away on holidays coz the folks were visiting. I saw this thread the other day and thought 'I'd better get that vid edited'. I'll do it sometime this week and whack it on here. The guys very talkative really, saying that as long as his visas straight the police will not deport him.

Good stuff. There's a YouTube thread in Bedlam, good idea to stick it in there too.

Sorry guys, it might be me. You should read my companies travel policy

[Loz]

I guess you' d have to concede that its innovative...

If he's been here that long, doesn't it make him smarter than loads of would be "teachers"?
