The ''Brit'' had the air fare..............

a crime to beg ? who are to tell me who i can and can not help ?? should be a crime not to help humans in need.

You can help who you wish, and i applaud your charitable intentions....I often feel the same way.

What makes me feel less sorry for this man, were the words agressive and rude....alledgedly used to people he was Begging from

Do you see that if the manner in which he was alledgedly conducting himself is true he provoked the response he got.?

[osiboy]

Cap on backwards. Real class!

that cap is not on backwards , you can buy them like that now .

Did he ever attack anyone ? … can you really justify violence in exchange for words ?

[Mario2008]

Posts removed.

Discuss his behavior, not his ethnicity.

[Haverkamp1]

Actually begging is not allowed in Thailand, not for foreigners nor for Thais, the only exception to this rule is for physically disabled people, and they have a special permit what they have to carry with them at all times.

[dorlemon]

Is it a criminal offence to beg in Thailand?

Work permit ?? ......

Maybe he was begging to get money to buy a work permit.

Really a vicious circle .........

Think you should read the OP again, if this guy approached my mrs in an unfriendly way for cash, he would be perhaps in the same condition.

"Witnesses say...." but nothing about what the victim of this assault had to say, and yet readers on this forum are so quick to jump to conclusions and believe what might be a falsity, with absolutely no statement made by the victim. The real story could be the extreme opposite of what was reported in this story, I have to say very bad journalism, to the point of being yellow.

Well actually yes.

We dont know exactly what was said by the beggar to the person that took offence.

If tbe person who the beggar spoke to believed he was in immediate danger of being assaulted he acted within the law..In my country that is....

No more warnings about bringing religion or ethnicity into it. Posting rights are being taken away without exception.

Aggravated begging is certainly illegal in the UK, as is Assault and Battery.

If it turns out the battering was done by, lets say, a local policeman, I suspect the tone of a lot of posts would reverse. And what state of confusion would result if he was beaten by the local yaba dealer???

Bad-mouth Brit beggar gets rough Phuket lesson

The headline suggests some Phuket pride in the violence shown this man?

[orosee]

Guilty of the crime of being British while coloured. Worse than being one or the other.

Nice crowd behind the keyboards tonight.

Begging may well be illegal but you can steal all you want..

I see where you are going but nothing about him assaulting or having physical contact with his "victims" and you are right the OP don't say much about that but to batter someone for being rude depending on the words he chose is never justified.

Begging of any sort is contrary to the vagrancy act 1824.

And your standing or lack of it in the community gives you exactly the same legal rights....UK that is...

We were walking through Big C here in Pattaya 2 days ago and a farang came up to my wife and rather aggressively asked for donations to his charity. She threatened to contact the store manager and he took off quickly. Seems to be the thing to do these days.

It continues to amaze me how many farangs here are the utter dregs of society, it is an embarrasment to be honest. The more you see reports about these low lifes, the more it worries me that idiots like Suthep will eventually get their way.

We will become persona non grata, a minority spoiling it for the decent majority.

[Hedghog]

Well done whoever laid him out mind you if he was in England he would probably be suing his attacker for breach of human rights by now

If in England.

He would more than likely be on a slab in a morgue.

It amazes me still that people in this day and age look down on their own kind. i like to see what makes you so special ?

[Loptr]

Has it not occurred to anyone that this guy may have developed a mental illness?

Since when is being a rude a__hole considered a mental illness?

Having personally been accosted in a similar fashion on more than one occasion on Bangla Rd by pushy beggars, time share touts, ladyboys and drunk tourists, a person reaches the end of patience quickly. It's one thing to beg for subsistence, but this fellow doesn't look like he is missing many meals and by reports, he became extremely rude when his target didn't cough up a "donation" for his cause. I say that Aziz got off easy.

[menorah]

Good so !!!!

Whoever hit him should have hit him harder, it's scum like him that gives the rest of us from the UK a bad name.[/quote

5555555 you Brits have a good name ?

Well, if you spent less time in your 'Ivory Tower', you might meet a few of the many respectable Brits who visit Thailand.

Just for once it would be nice to read some objective and intelligent posts.....is that really asking too much?

[MantisMan]

What was his cause exactly?

Lose weight?

Help him buy a new cap or some more neck jewelry?

I didn't get that part.

[moe666]

And people wonder why the Thai's are so against over stay visa.

Simple solution forget about medical treatment. Take him and his passport to jail long enough to hose him down. Get the Embassy to get him a clean shirt and pants and throw him on the next plane to the UK with a do not readmit stamp on the passport.

Oh Yeah video the whole thing and put it on Youtube for others to see so that they do not get the same idea.

Hell it is bad enough with the Thais begging without these guys.

hehhehehehe I guess you haven't been here long enough the majority of beggars in Thailand are Cambodians or Burmese very few are Thai.
