Hedghog Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 What comes to mind. Walk a mile in my shoes. What if the roles were reversed. A little charity can go a long way. I hope the negative posters reflect. It could be YOU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedghog Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 For the past six months I have been giving them whistles so they could whistle in case of emergency.No doubt they whistled Dixie,accompanied with the two finger salute.Well deserved.

If a truck picks them up and they all speak Burmese then it is a scam. If not they are real. But I'm sure you know all about the Burmese beggar scam.

Thongkorn Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 There use to be a public information advert on Thai TV telling people not to give to beggars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wym Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 All you posters,alleging Mafia control of beggars. Quantify your remarks,or take food from the needy. By SCAREMONGERING. No I'm saying GIVE them food, just not money. No need to "quantify", just hang out as others have said and get to know them, talk to their "trustee" handlers about who's running the show. Or even better offer to provide free food and housing for them long-term, offer to educate the kids, and you'll quickly find a scary powerful person at your door demanding their property back. Try to get other authorities involved to help you rescue them and you may well disappear overnight. Really, do try. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thongkorn Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I HAVE..... Bought food for beggars, only for it to be refused, and told " I only want money". Its hard to be perfect like a lot of people on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wym Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) I'm completely confused - why would anyone give food to police? I was responding to Mr Hedghog's claim that we should be giving these beggars money, as if they get to keep the money they collect, and aren't in effect slaves put out to work by violent mafia human traffickers, aka the BiB, or at least in partnership with them. It appears from what I think you're saying that Thonkorn is agreeing with me? If so, then never mind, that's fine.
