geovalin Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 A compassionate Thai man says he feels deceived after he tried to help a disabled Cambodian beggar get treatment only to discover he earned over 100,000 baht per month illegally. Kannarat “Gun” Pongpaiboonwet, aka Gun Jom Palang, last week announced on Facebook that he would contact the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (M-Society) to help the Cambodian man get treatment after seeing a video of him on Thai social media walking doubled over in a market in Chon Buri province. Watch the video here. Many people wanted to donate and help him get proper treatment after Gun highlighted his plight. But Gun was horrified to find out that the man had an organized family begging operation in place after talking with people from the M-Society. M-Society told Gun that the man, 47 year old Kom Pormee, was well known to the Thai authorities and had been arrested and sent back to Cambodia four times already. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/501146576/handicapped-cambodian-beggar-illegally-earning-over-100000-baht-a-month-sent-back-to-cambodia/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 This country is full of imposters, fraudsters and fake beggars, this is why i rarely ever give anything to those you see on the roads and footpaths and it's well known fact that many of them are from neighbouring countries harping on the goodness of tourists and Thai people.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
