Mugged by a monk this morning

[Zyte]

So this monk was in the middle of the road near Kata beach , he waved me down tied a bit of string around my wrist and demanded money. I thought you’ve got me now so I gave him twenty baht to get rid of him to which he asked for a hundred , which of course I did not give him.

Not a real monk.

That's so weird.  I got monked by a mug this morning!

 

It fell from a shelf above my desk and caught me on the top of the head in such a fashion that it removed a perfect four inch diameter circle of hair from the top of my head.

Just another scammer. Probably an off duty cop.

At the beach, try to avoid monks with eyebrows and ladies with adam's apples.

You shouldn't have ... now this scammer thinks that his sh$t works and continue to bother other foreigners seeing how gullible they're...

Circle of hair or the whole disk?

Only ever approach a monk if they are not waving their alms about....

They walk around the village and mug the community every morning!

No, they don't even need the food. It's a service to the devotees as an opportunity to make merit by giving.

Obviously Ned Kelly or Dick Turpin reincarnated in a lower form.

Similar Phuket story from a year ago, did the "monk" look like anyone in this photo?

Two Thai males and a female from Lopburi were caught today, November 11, after allegedly impersonating a group of monks and soliciting donations in the Phuket area.

For sure don't stop if they are hitching a ride. I stupid stopped for one my early days here. Road Patong to Karon. He soon asked  me for his bus fare to somewhere up county. I politely refused. he asked I stop and he got out. Guess try the next sucker. Thais easier touch with monks.

When approached at the beach, or anywhere, if ignoring doesn't work, then ...
