Boater Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 (edited) AT least seven beggars with physical disabilities believed to be from Cambodia were taken out of the streets of Koh Samui after some residents complained about their activities asking tourists for alms. The local police said they acted on the complaint out of concern for the image of the island and to neutralize the gang that could be behind them. Police identified the beggars as Mr. Kaew, 46, Mr. Chai, 23, Mr. Burin, 22, Mrs. Gagai, 48, Mr. Sna, 40 and Mr. Chatser, 53. http://samuiexpress.net/home/news/local-news/police-report/758-police-purge-samui-streets-of-beggars-from-cambodia Edited January 4, 2013 by Boater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tropicalevo Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Cambodian 'beggar gangs' have been a problem in Thailand for years. (Around when I first came in 1993) Bangkok has not managed to solve this one. Send them home and they are on a truck back within a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
