Thai Rath reported on a case where two security officials at Bangkok's main Hualampong Railway station were caught on film attacking a homeless man with feet and fists. 

 

Tuk-Tuk drivers in the area on Friday tried to stop the attack and came under fire themselves. 

 

Driver Anon Chompoowong said the homeless man had been at the station for a year and was no trouble to anyone. 

 

But the guards said he was a pest and the authorities should get rid of him.

must have been a slow day.

If the tuk tuk drivers feel so strongly, they should help him out. Meantime, the  guards get complaints and yelled at by railway customers who have to navigate past this man. These guards don't react until something has occurred.

These 'guards' need stringing up, put on a uniform and they turn into animals.  I don't blame the tuk tuk drivers of not wanting to get beat up by the gestapo.

or they are off their heads on YaBa or whiskey.  T.I.T.

This homeless people on the train station is a pain in the..... 

My experience is this 

Try stealing my coffee 

Speaking bad to my wife 

Spit after tourists because they not get money or cigarettes 

They drunk smell bad

Some smoke yaba 

Why not clean this mess up 

They are not good for tourists and make bad reputation for Thailand 

Clear them up but not beat them up!

What a bunch of loosers, this kind of behaviour makes me sick. Respect to the tuk-tuk drivers though

I was at the Ayuthaya SRT, yesterday...first, the lady tried to shortchange me 100 on a ticket purchase, and then I made the mistake of looking at a wall map, where a Moto guy, who may have been Khmer, assured me it was 8 Km to my hotel....walked it in 25 minutes, while drinking a Yai.
