Vagabonds extort money from passersby at train stations in Ayutthaya Province

[UbonRatch]

How sad. One day you're on top of the world, working for the big man in the government..... and the next no one, not even your family, wants to know you.

Wanna borrow 500?

What! And let all the scoundrels, ruffians and rogues get clean away?

But what about the ne'er-do-wells?

It's the scallywags that worry me the most.

I thought the MC was here in Thailand. LOL Guess showing my age.

Its great to see some old words being used. Vagabond is certainly better than 'scruffy degenerate', etc I wonder if I could use that on some official form asking for occupation? Its almost a bit like scallywag. It sounds better than 'homeless person' too as that has the implication that something should be done about them. Its also better than vagrant.

I await hearing a Thai pronounce slobberdegullion

OK JR please enlighten the ignorant - what is sloberdegullion? It sounds like a flock of seagulls returning home after a big night out.

[Manbing]

Can we stop messing around and call them by their proper name.

Ne'er do wells

Thanks JR - I was hoping for something more powerful than that like - a person from lower down in the food chain, or similar.

And don't forget vagrants, drifters, hobos, tramps, bindlestiffs, strollers and other assorted riff-raff.

TVF membership would suffer..

[troglodyke]

Wow...I haven't heard the term "Vagabond" used since the folk music revival. It's right up there with "Tomboy". Perhaps the schools should stop teaching English from 1920 textbooks.

Hey! Vagabond is one of my favourites and I didn't go to school in the 1920s. We have seen a lot of vagabonds on the streets on Bangkok these past few months.

the politicos ship em if from the provinces to build numbers at protest sites.

I'm rather disappointed they're not cracking down on the buttoners, gigglemugs, mark-ass tricks, trick-ass marks, skeezers, skanks, skig-scags and whooperups. I thought this junta was serious about cracking down on things? Some serious omissions there methinks....

I believe they were on the West side of the river as they couldn't get permission to cross over

[marko kok prong]

Rascal's used in new guinea,but i find it strange the article said they could be identified by littering,would that not be 99% of the population,for them to complain about it these guy's must have made one hell of a mess.

Agreed, but the bounders should be dealt with as well

^ But what if he's an utter cad? Would you give him the benefit of the doubt? Do you think blighters and heels should receive the same punishment as a group who are, for example, an absolute bloody shower? If somebody is merely a miscreant as opposed to a habitual rotten bleeder or insolent churl do you feel this deserves incarceration?
