If a guy wants to live in a 3000 baht a month room with no air-con and only eats mama noodles from 7-11 then this is the appropriate way for him to live if he can support himself....If some ones not begging in the street then that should be good enough for Thailand...

But he could  be begging at any moment. If not begging, he won't hesitate to take works without a work permit. Many more pimping jobs (aka bar managers) are available through out Thailand. At one time in the past, vast numbers of pimps (aka bar managers) were working without permits. They were content with free booze and girls. I recently read one guy in Krabi said he would do it again even after being caught. Don't underestimate the lure of brothels (aka bars).
