NomadJoe Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Dont they know begging is an occupation reserved for Thais. Thais that beg are actually required to register with the government now. Edited February 16, 2014 by NomadJoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireMedic Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearpolar Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) 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 Edited February 17, 2014 by bearpolar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
