Pattaya, Thailand-Pattaya City Municipality officers, also called the Tessagit, gave a thumbs down to so-called lion performers who they say are actually beggars who annoy customers and business owners.

 

An unidentified man was removed from the popular Soi 6 this evening in North Pattaya after multiple complaints from bar owners that the man, who was dressed in a sort of lionlike costume and equipped with a giant drum, was entering bars without permission and making lots of noise and annoying customers while asking for money.

 

TPN media notes there are certain times of the year, like Chinese New Year, when large dragon performers collect charity donations across the city.

These types are all OVER the world. Just about every touristy restaurant I've ever been to had a variation of them coming to your table, playing some lousy stringed instrument, and hanging around until they got a donation.

 

I remember one joker at Lolita's, long before Covid, singing karaoke then passing the hat. Needless to say I just kept that hat passing on by.

Used to be on a Quiz team and every Monday/Wednesday a 'blind' guy with a female minder used to come and wail loudly to canned 'music', drowning out the quiz master until the 'singer' was  paid to move on.
