Thai govt set to move beggars from streets on sustainable basis

[monkey dog]

now if the Thai govt was set to move the aggressive intimidating thai drunks from the day time streets that would be a real step forward.

but we all know that isnt going to happen

If I recall right, the police and/or the Bangkok BMA government about a year ago or so announced a similar kind of campaign to remove beggars from the streets.

Whatever they did seemed to make a difference for a week or two, and then, back to beggars galore.

The current favorite seems to be young-ish women with babies or toddlers in arms or sleeping on mats on the sidewalk. The mothers ought to be arrested just for doing that and/or have their children taken away for intentional child neglect.
