Woman arrested as Hua Hin launches crackdown on beggars

 

Picture: Ban Muang

 

Ban Muang reported that local official Jirawat Phramanee led groups of local government departments to the Chatchai market in Hua Hin after reports that a woman beggar was annoying traders, customers and tourists.

 

The 40 something woman would persistently ask for 40 baht and if she didn't get it she would display bad behaviour and use bad language.

 

This was dragging the good name of Hua Hin down, they said. 

 

The officials spread out and the miscreant was soon caught red handed.

 

She was taken to Hua Hin police station where she was warned, had her particulars taken down and was told that if she displayed any more poor behavior she would be taken into care. 

 

Traders and people at the market were asked to call 1300 to report begging, vagrancy and child beggars.

Though it was not mentioned in the Ban Muang article this appeared to be part of a coordinated campaign to stop begging.

 

Pictures on the site showed officials carrying a vinyl sign and placards related to stopping begging.

Yup, that sounds like NCC.????

 

 

Some manners go a long way, if she was behaving herself then  I'm sure the authorities would turn a blind eye to her activities.

It starts at 600 Baht age 60 and goes up 100 baht every 10 years after that.

Well she has 20 years 

Obviously she needed money, before passing judgement, the lady may have a mental problem which explains her irrational behaviour 

No mention of being tested for Covid-19.

Is there a fine for begging? Sounds paradoxical.

Being a beggar that might be what she was hoping for.... some care?

Having her particulars taken down was a bit stiff though.

Or, maybe she's just an @-hole who feels entitled?
