Wasn't it a South Korean recently standing in the middle of Naklua road giving his money away to bemused passing motorists? Same guy?

I'm a little confused about Koreans. They are generally considered big trouble makers by the Thai people but yet Thailand gives them special visa treatment of 90 days on arrival. Why ?? Are they exempt from maximum of 3 consecutive trips too ??? Anyone know ??

The man claimed that he was hungry.

He was detained at the Pattaya police station pending further investigation.

Nothing to be confused about, Korea invests at lot of money in Thailand, hence the visa privilages
