"Remove these parasites" - Russian "beg-packers" move their con to Chiang Mai

[Aussieroaming]

Are these the same ones that supposedly got dumped out of a taxi on the freeway from Swampy a few months ago by a taxi driver? They seem familiar, but at least they mix up their repertoire.

And before them were another couple with a child selling photos of various sights around Thailand - and possibly children too as I recall. In all cases the male scammer is somewhere in the background. This is obviously an organized ring.

They sound more like Romanians to me,  they try all sorts of tricks like this in Europe .

Criticism is a bit strong,they are trying to sell photos of the kids,not forcing anyone to buy,

who knows their circumstances,it seems Farangs are more against them than Thai people ,

they are not harming anyone.there but for the grace of God ,go I.

regards Worgeordie

who gives a dam what their situation is! they managed to find enough money to come here, they are not sleeping on the streets, it is a con job plain and simple. they are professional beggers and I have seen a few in Bangkok. that the Thai police put up with it brings shame on the Thai's

 

[worgeordie]

" it is a con job plain and simple" the are not conning or scamming anyone,

they sell photos,buy if you want one,walk by if you dont,they are not aggressive,

in your face,as some beggars are".it brings shame on the Thais ?," explain that.

"Parasites" is used in the heading to promote clicks, live and let live.

They can be removed the same way that the foreigners were removed several years ago from the sunday night market. Selling is not begging, selling = working. No work permit.

So by your logic, if your wife has ever seen a drunken or stupid Farang, she must think you are a stupid drunk!!!

And his wife is the boss bc she see a farang lady and she is the boss too.

Another Indian family, guy, wife, kids and grandma wandering around Seacon Bangkhae mall asking foreigners for money, they know better than to ask any Thais.

Considering the  mindset of many European types in Thailand, I doubt they have any success with them either.

They look harmless to me, what's it to you if you either fling a few baht in their direction, or just walk past? Go back to your own expensively housed, schooled, and fed wife and kids, drive around in your wasteful car, who's the real parasite here?

Ahh, so they look harmless to your untrained  leftist eyes, do they? For the thousands of decorated SAS, Navy Seals, Green Berets, and other assorted former special forces and super dooper secret agents who are on retirement/reserve in the city, they are sleeper agents ready to spring to action as soon as the supreme leader Putin needs their assistance.

 

BTW, you probably consider anyone with a clean floor, AC,  a water filter and a dwelling not infested with cockroach & bedbugs as expensively housed. And those who  select a decent school and not one of the   primitive daycare  facilities that is called a Thai school, and make sure their kids do not have head lice and are bathed regularly are called responsible parents, not parasites. You call it wasteful to transport one's family in a vehicle, ok. Well,  many of us call it  dangerous and irresponsible to pile 4 on a motorbike.  So aside from your jealousy of thsoe who are able to take care of their families, is there anything else you wish to say?

When I walk from the Silom (Lumphini?) station of the MRT to my gym across Silom from Sunrise Tacos I see a farang selling photo postcards. Legal?

Jeez. You walk down the street and under the  BTS access stairs past the vendors pushing the kiddie porn, animal porn and the vendors pushing their  counterfeit cialis, viagra  and  poorly made  knock off goods, and ealk around the multiple crippled and kiddie beggers, and you are concerned about a bunch of Russian losers selling   photos? Hello? You  have your priorities in order don't you?

Why on earth would I or anyone else want a picture of her baby?

Is your quote biblical or something?

Pehaps he thinks he is in Pattaya where that sort of icky  activity is more expected?

They are not selling photos of their own Children, they are selling photos of their trip around the World , although their Children may feature in some of the photos

   Why is there  an issue with Children in photos ?

I quite often go to the place where he is selling and tourists often take a photo with my Son

 

Wow. Just wow. I bet your son will be delighted when he is older to know that his fatehr allowed  his right to privacy to be breached by having his picture taken by all sorts of people unknown to him. Why would anyone want pictures of someone else's kids? seriously. Think about it.  Do you really expect people to agree with your  view that a well adjusted man, collects photos of young boys? No. People who do that are people like John Wayne Gacey or Jeffrey Dahmer and we all know how they ended up. Chop. Chop.

it seems wrong to come from a country of opportunity to one with poverty and considerably less opportunity and try to take money from the locals. why not get a job back home and go on holiday like normal people?

   The people taking photos were nearly always Chinese Female young tourists who wanted a photo of themselves with some local kids , feeding the birds and fish or it was Chinese familys taking photos of their children playing with my son  

     I have also taken photos 

You seem to be suggesting that anyone who takes photos of children will become a child murderer . I disagree with that .

    I have no idea who the "well adjusted young man, collecting photos of young boys" is .

    Are these Chinese tourists who took a photo of my Son with themselves and their kids all murdering pedophiles ?

  Do they sit at home perving over the photos ?

I think not

 

 

[observer90210]

Such farangs tarnish the image of all farangs in the country because consequently Immigration rules and other hassles are beefed up on arrival so as the visa sojourns or perhaps extension requirements...,....so IMHO, YES, such attitudes do concern all foreigners  and harm indirectly all farangs entering in Thailand!

[Sandy Freckle]

If they are harvesting money by selling images of their child..., well surely they are in effect 'working'. 
If I spy them anywhere on a public street, I'll take a picture of them all myself..., and sell them for half price maybe ?

Why would you want to "piss them off" ?

Because In that moment of writing, I chose to be trivial and provocative.

Wow, you really are naive.   The Pornography kings of SE Asia use harmless looking women to set up and lure people. These innocent  Chinese people may not  be so innocent, but are  instead selling pictures of children to perverts. I suggest you read up on who and what is involved in this very lucrative niche. I suppose you don't believe their are  men who walk about with  cameras who take pictures  up women's dresses. 2 have been  caught on the BTS in the past year.

Yes, but would there be any specific reason for "pissing them off"

We can all do many things , simply doing something, because we "can"

Is not a reason for doing said thing

Fortunately in life, different people get to make different choices..., choices that may not necessarily meet with the preferred values and wishes of more sanctimonious other people.
Relax grasshopper it was simply a trivial throw away post...., put your typing fingers back in their holster.

We are not talking about pornography though .

Fully clothed Children feeding pigeons in a public space

Dont think perverts would be interested in that

Of couse , I wouldnt let anyone lure him away or  let anyone take him out of my sight .

    

[CNXBKKMAN]

Photos of children feeding birds, I believe it. Anything is possible.

 

 

[JayBird]

I think it's pathetic that they come from Europe to a 3rd world country and have to effectively beg on the streets.  They must have made some horrible life choices.

 

That being said: The government removes the street vendors and their yummy tasty food and would leave these people with baby pics... something is not right here
