Central festival yesterday at 530pm. Big farang guy with the exact same Angry Birds and "I'm deaf" card with Thai and British flag on it.

Dont they know begging is an occupation reserved for Thais. Thais that beg are actually required to register with the government now.

I'll be sure to let them know next time I see them. This dude saw me filming him and waited outside for a while. I contacted the Tourist Police on LINE and let them know what was going on.......NO ANSWER, NO REPLY. I'm not surprised at all.

I think the real crime is eating at that god awful restaurant.

Not surprising. How long did these people think they could operate under the radar.

im considering screaming my lungs out in the ears of the next thai person who does this. I have bought the trinkets before but knowing how vaguely popular this scam is i prob got scammed a few times.

Hopefully they all pass the test though.

100b is a lot of footlong spicy i could buy

Wherever there is tourists you will get gypsies practicing their tricks, pickpockets and other scammers will be rife soon in Phuket
