   Foreigners don't "lose face". we have a bit more substance to us than that

This goes on since Decades. They even eat the rice from tribes in the north, where they sleep for free of course

Being a female she always has something to sell to get some quick cash, no need to beg. It's a conundrum; what's worse, selling that money maker or begging?

There is a French proverb that says « le ridicule ne tue pas » "The ridicule doesn't kill" which means, don't let the fear of ridicule stop you from doing what you want, or what you think is good !!

Thank you.

You are saying that she should have offered sex in exchange for the food ?

40 Bhat for sex is rather cheap

You are right. I was wrong. Interesting information. Do wish the lawyer would stop wiping his nose with his finger. Rich as he is, he can afford a handkerchief.

It's illegal, why support it? If they have to beg for 20baht's for 'travel' they should not have come. Probably spent on drugs or beer, these grifters are like the ones at home pretending to be homeless beggars, then getting in their car to go home

Yes, it is a profession reserved for Thais.

Thai culture teaches giving to someone or feeding dogs, squirrels will bring you good luck or bring good karma.  A form of making merit. How is this person being a foreigner have anything to do with Thai culture and traditions.

If she was in surrathani obviously on her way to KO samui, or leaving KO samui and going Bangkok to go home if no money, no where does it say the back packer has no cash, she asks if she can eat it, no mention of cash anywhere

I think you will find it is effectively Burmese who monopolise that profession often missing limbs sadly.

You are right this must be a lot worse the all the MENA immigrants coming to western countries living on benefits. Selling drugs and killing people. Yes, asking for a free meal is much worse!

Thankfully the average TVF malcontent isn't representative of humanity or else I would truly despair. The average age her must surely be over 60 I'm 63 myself young folk just wouldn't want to hang out here.

Never actually saw many doing this. Asking/begging from other foreigners (mostly other backpackers) yes.

As for the woman in the OP - I doubt she doesn't have money for a meal, but could have had her money stolen, her credit card lost or whatever. No need to assume the worse.
