poooket Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Could be a coincident BUT... This first happened about a month ago when I had breakfast down at beachroad. The next table, an old foreigner just finish his meal and was about to pay when he realized that he forgot his wallet. He came over to my table and said he was so stupid to forget his wallet and that he lived fare away on the dark side. I pity him and i offered to pay for his meal which he really appreciated. Never thought anything more about that until yesterday. I was in the same restaurant when I hear someone start complain he forgot his wallet, when I look up I see its the same guy that I helped a month ago. He did the same thing went over to the next table, told his story but they wasn't happy to help. He moved on to another table with no luck, then an older guy at another table offered to pay for him and he was so happy and thankful. At the same time I hear the Thai staff at the restaurant gossip him saying " this old man always forgot his wallet" and laugh at him, obviously they had no idea what he was up to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petercool Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 One day, he will run out people that help and, being unable to pay, the police will be called - or he will magically find his wallet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Basil B Posted July 27, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2013 You would think that if he did that a few times the staff would ask if he had his wallet before taking his order, or one day no one will pick up his tab, that type of person is not good for business. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I don't think it is being scum to legitimately beg for food if you really need the food and have no other way. But yes that man is a scamming liar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are looking for a level of awareness that I have not witnessed in such restaurants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaRanter Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I knew one Canadian chap that moonlights as a teacher in bkk some years back, total scrounge. But he is very upfront about his empty wallet and he has tons his personal life experience to tell. Always broke, has two shirts for work, he commandeered a Thai neighbors laundry that fell in to his balcony where he shares a room with a prostitute.

guzzi850m2 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Who is stupid enough to pay for this scumbag ??? I am or was 8 years ago. 8 years ago I was approached by a man (US) in Patong, Phuket. he told me a very trustworthy sounding story about how he lost his credit card and was waiting for money his brother in the US had sent. I had a few beers with him and I gave him a 1000 baht loan and we agreed to meet a certain place the next day at 1100 to settle. I was looking for this guy at 1100 but never saw him again Well well it didn't ruin me and I consider it a learning lesson and since then I don't give anybody any money without some sort of guaranty. OP, why didn't you approach this cheating bastard and told him, AHH AGAIN, mister I got good police friends so you better be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
