Exit condo, and not more than 20 steps onto sukhumvit, Bum #1 locks eyes with me and raises a suspiciously-in-new-condition metal mug and shakes it. Ignores all the Thai people walking past him, inclu

Every so often, even on AN, there comes a poster so tone-deaf, so entitled by the fortune of birth that it almost takes your breath away...   Go home Rainbow Yankee..

I assumed from his mention of sukhumvit he is in Thailand. Is there anything else of total irrelevance you wish to add?

No, you've covered that perfectly! :thumbsup:

I wonder why some people think it is necessary to desecrate a countries flag in the name of their perversion.

And to correct one point, my Thai son and his wife regularly give to beggars and often buy food in plastic bags to give to beggers.

 

Also to give to 2 little girls always selling flower garlands at a big intersection not far from our house. 

Never give to beggars or soi dogs, it only encourages and makes more of them!

And if I am, I will have the deceny and self respect to not target and feel entitled to money of those who had nothing to do with my situation.

Yet you have something to do with your situation as you are living in an area with loads of ‘bums’ (as you term the poor, destitute & desperate).

They are all over and not only in his area, if you took some time to visit Thailand one day to see for yourself.

You have no idea what being harassed by beggars is like, try India or North Africa, they descend like a swarm of locusts and persist, persist, persist. Were you surrounded by 20 or more street urchins grabbing your arms and delving into your pockets?

It's sukhumvit. There's bums everywhere, even near my upscale condo near Asoke. 

That's just Sukhumvit, man. Not me living in a shady area.

Fascinating

 

Never ceases to amaze me that with Westerners there is a strong response to those who don't want to give charity and bickering quickly ensues, similar to the recent tipping discussion.

 

Why are there so many high-horse riding, do-gooder, virtue signalling, white knights in the West - who also love shaming others for not parting with coin unnecessarily?

 

Something tells me they would turn their noses up to a falang begging on the streets though
