klauskunkel Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> Next time he does this just take the opening and shove it in your bag and when he comes up just say DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM ? Just pocket everything: key chains, begging card whatever he drops on your table. And that's that. And that would be the time the guy turns out to be genuinely disabled and everyone would have witnessed (and maybe on CCTV) the "horrible farang" throwing the deaf man's things across the room or pocketing them without a donation. I wouldn't give him any money, but I would rather not even chance screwing around with someone who's disabled even if he's almost certainly a scammer. I'll never forget the story John Robinson (who had no arms or legs) told: Toward the end of his college career, John and two of his friends were waiting in line to exit a nightclub when a woman shouted at him, "If you would just get off your knees this line would move a lot faster!" What to do then other than find a big hole to crawl in. I totally disagree. When I am having a meal in a restaurant I expect not to be disturbed by beggars, legit or otherwise...Other locations/events are off limits, too, like funerals, weddings, at the movies, basically anywhere where you expect some privacy. If they invade your privacy they should deal with the consequences. If I am approached in a public place, like walking on the sidewalk, I will react differently. This goes for all beggars, whether individual, institutional, organizational or governmental. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjules007 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Next time he does this just take the opening and shove it in your bag and when he comes up just say DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM ? Or even better when he comes back and asks where it has gone, you can say that you have no idea as you are blind and any donation would be appreciated as you are also collecting for your " charity"!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullstop Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 What did you say? I'd stick the key-chain and card in my pocket and say exactly that ... when he comes back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacko45k Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 (edited) A lot of scum usually washes up on pattaya beaches no news here. Well this one probably came overland from Phuket via Bangkok!!!! Or perhaps flew Premium. Edited April 8, 2014 by jacko45k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socksy01 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ask him the time. If he looks at his watch - hey presto. Simple - it worked for me when someone came into the 'nick' I worked in Edinburgh when a guy came in with a handwritten note claiming he was deaf and wanted to sleep in the cell for the night.

He would equal about 3 of little old me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post KittenKong Posted September 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2014 Where does all the aggressiveness in this thread come from? When beggars and vendors and scammers approach me I just say "no thanks" and they move on. I've been doing that for 40 years all over the world and see no reason to change. Nor is it my job to work out which are legitimate and which aren't; the local authorities can handle that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felixthecat Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) I've never had this happen to me though there is this deaf guy (so he says) who hangs around 2nd rd (pattaya klang end) who bugs the shit out of me everytime i walk by him, asking for 100b. I've never given him money because i saw a TG shout out to him one time & he turned around.....i walked by him laughing my ass off!

Ulysses G. Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I totally disagree. When I am having a meal in a restaurant I expect not to be disturbed by beggars, legit or otherwise... I am the same. I refuse to give them anything under those circumstances and I will show my anger if I say no once and they won't go away. Luckily, it does not happen much in Thailand.

Keesters Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 He's back in Big C Extra, Pattaya Klang, today around 1pm. He didn't put anything on my table this time but did to plenty of others. He's tall over 6ft. Close cropped beard, thirty something I'd guess but I'm not too good at that. Brown hair. Saw him get money from one Thai man, Baht 100 for 2 key chains. Went upstairs to customer service. Lady on counter called an assistant manager to come talk to me. I informed him what I had just witnessed downstairs. He understood very quickly what I was saying and said "thank you Sir, I'll sort him out." He then instructed the lady to call security and (here I'm not so sure) 'eject him' I think he said.

Tokay Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I just don't see a problem with guys like this. It's up to you to give him money or not, he's no different than a prostitute using a push up bra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaywalker Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Although it's "mine" I think the reactions and facial expressions are priceless. Years ago my brother was telling me he'd met some super hot deaf chick in a bar & was going on & on how well she danced. How could she dance so well if she couldn't hear the music? Should've seen the look on his face! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnC Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Not as stupid as it sounds! There used to be a deaf & dumb dancer at the Venue in the Jomtien Complex he was excellent and explained at job interview he could feel the vibrations!
