Everyone's favorite German beggar spotted begging in Denmark
By Coconuts Bangkok



BANGKOK: -- Benjamin Holst, 29, was found begging on street of Denmark yesterday by a Thai citizen who decided to snap that smile as evidence that he’s doing just great – after being deported by Thai customs in September for being a complete douchebag.

Holst, aka the farang beggar with the big foot, was rescued in late September after he was found homeless on Khaosan Road. He received THB50,000 get a flight home from Deutscher Hilfsverein Thailand, an organization that helps German citizens.

This news is to welcome internationalized beggars to Thailand so that they can fly to a better country to beg later ?

Thailand can try the beggar tourism idea if the medical tourism and multitude of other hub ideas don't work out.

[Commerce]

Sorry, but I don't have a favourite beggar...!! So don't include me in everyone's.....

[baboon]

Celebrity chefs must be passé. Now we have celebrity beggars instead...

[Eddy B]

He won't be around for long if he seriously does not get his leg looked at by doctors..................stupid man! I am surprised it did not explode at high altitude when he was on the flight out of Thailand!

[4evermaat]

Thailand, the hub of [choosey] beggars.

[KhunAussie52]

Apparently beggars can be choosers!!

No problem. He could probably "earn" even more as a one-legged beggar.

[JAG]

Thailand, the hub of [choosey] beggars.

Ah, but is Denmark now the hub of beggars?

[Prbkk]

Miami for the winter...

[WorriedNoodle]

Beggars belief?

[MexicanFarang]

A German beggar in Denmark?

The EU's dream of transparent borders is a success...

[happynthailand]

his leg looks a lot fatter,than when he was in Thailand

[lungmi]

He has Elefantiasis in his leg, caused by "bullflies" , sucking the blood of small injuries. I had it, normal antibiotics don't work. a good pharmacist gaves

me the good medecin,

This guy developped a job for survive.

Chalerm can learn from him.

[inwardglee]

I am surprised how

a ) this makes it into the news

b ) people (commenters) have no heart for ones in problems.

Has anyone wanted to become a beggar by own choice? I don't think so.

i don't understand some posters . . . if you had to suffer from the Elephantitis Leg Disease, and all your government grants you for the rest of your life is peanuts , how would your life be like ? so instead of staying in his home country, he decided to put "adventure" an his flag and pull out of the "safe" harbour.

I am a disabled person myself, and I just don't need your mercy . .. I can do things people of your kind will envy me for.

My respect for Elephantitis Man . . begging is one way to do, but mind you folks. This guy will not sit there all day long, there will be an end to the day and he will be somebody socialising with somebody else.

Act smart is what our century calls for. Warren Buffet is one more example, on the scale of big.

a Thai citizen in germany? I bet it's a youngish 20 year old thai female

Try looking up on the whole story of said person ,he would be on disabled benefits and can get good medical treatment in Angela Merkel land, after a few do gooders gave him some serious cash to fly back to Germany he was seen splashing his ill gotten gains in certain bars with Thai "social workers".

He was photographed in Denmark.

What does speculation about the age and sex of the person who spotted him have to do with anything?

[geronimo]

He, like all of us, has the freedom of choice. This seems to be his chosen path.

There are plenty of beggars by choice. However some give a little more value for money.

As has been suggested he should get a little monkey or another attraction. Maybe learn a musical instrument?

[klauskunkel]

...getting cold now...snow coming soon...memories of Pattaya will keep him warm.

[DeaconJohn]

It was predictable ever since the arrival on the scene of celebrity golf caddies.

[Johnny S]

...getting cold now...snow coming soon...memories of Pattaya will keep him warm.

He can always go to Istedgade to the "Thai-Club" and get warm ....

[abitmiffed]

And he only needs another 129 Euro's to get a 1 way ticket to Bangkok.

[monkeycountry]

Good luck with that, Denmark is cold, wet and windy this time of the year

[soalbundy]

He has found his niche in society,leave him be, nobody is forced to give to him.

After wiki-ing this disease I discovered there are various types.
