"Most hated German in Thailand" takes his wife to Hamburg and he's still asking for donations

A beggar dubbed as the "Most Hated German in Thailand" has taken his attractive wife from The Gambia to the fatherland. 

 

A video showed Benjamin Holst and his love interest along with an unnamed child enjoying a happy funfair ride. 

 

Perhaps recognizing that he is well known in Thailand Benjamin posted on Thaivisa's Facebook page that he had traveled to Germany . 

 

The German - who has a massive leg that he uses to garner sympathy and donations - was vilified in Thailand after many Thais in Bangkok took pity on him and gave him money.

 

He was later seen unrepentant and enjoying the high life with beer and prostitutes in Pattaya. 

 

The Thais were furious and kicked him out and blacklisted him. 

 

He found his way to Africa where what he calls true love blossomed in The Gambia. 

 

Meanwhile on Facebook several posters were arguing about where he got his money for the latest jaunt. 

 

On one site Herr Holst said that to mark his birthday on January 14th he was appealing for funds for poor African children. 

 

He promised to send the cash to a "non-profit organisation".

 

However, it appears people online might have got wise to his schemes - as of today only one Euro of a target of 150 Euros had been donated.

Looks like he'll (deservedly IMHO) be in for a dose of his own medicine, then, if nothing has changed in the Gambia since the holiday from hell I had there 25 years ago!

This guy is a scumbag, but he is small fry compared to the real corporate crooks in this world.

This 'Most Hated Man in Thailand" business is ridiculous... Most Thai's have never heard of him and those who have probably really can't be bothered... 

 

The ThaiVisa.com dramatization of this story is a little pathetic and has a somewhat persecutory element.

and the frequency seems to be increasing..

Of course she didn't reveal all her knowledge/plans to him, that would have been stupid.

Seriously?  She looks like she could beat him to a pulp.  But maybe some guys are into that.

Of course, he must pay 'salary' to his 'wife'. Anyone who believe true love has anything to do with the transfer, are delusional.

 

Anyway, when she gets everything sorted out in  the 'fatherland', he'll be alone again.

The same foreigners who call the German a scumbag would call the corrupt officials “sir” as they wai them.

Well 150 Euro is not so bad considering the $21 Trillion gone missing discovered by Catherine Austin Fitts recently.

He's Facebook Famous

 

The 15 minutes of fame and provides a welcome break from real problems, here in the Kingdom, Euroland and worldwide! Merkel was looking painfully constipated last night, Theresa looks like a spud that had the fork stuffed in it .... And we haven't even got to Donald yet ... who seems to be backing down and declaring 'victory' this morning. Hehe :biggrin:
