Rimmer Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Beach vendors complain about beggars PATTAYA:--Pattaya beach vendors are complaining that beggars are causing public annoyance. Jomtien Beach vendors called the media July 16 to vent their frustrations, with one showing a video getting aggressive with a tourist who refused to donate money. The beggar was chased away by others on the beach. One vendor claimed the beggars come in groups of men, women and small children who trawl the beach for victims, often getting into confrontations with tourists.

ezzra Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I think those beggars brigades are not Thai, they tend to be from neighboring countries.. and from what i have heard, they belong to a mafia type that put out there to generate income...

That's just an opening for them to engage further Get a pair of those V R goggles same as the bird is wearing so you don't have to do the eye contact thing and if they still insist on striking up a conversation just reply with loads of cockney rhyming slang .. It confuses the hell out of them and they usually move on fairly rapido looking for another billy .. And it works equally as well with irritating bar-girls , freelancers , waitress's etc .. knowhatimsaying .. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing so pleasant on Jomtien beach as relaxing in a deck chair under an umbrella and having a food vendor cook some really tasty lunch for you. I might also add that the masseuse are the best in Thailand, But I only do all that a few times each year. Should do it more..............Beggars can beg off.

The word is "shouldn't" not "don't", but your point is valid. People who bother you complaining about other people bothering you, is, to put it mildly, hilarious.

balo Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I have noticed an increase in Cambodians staying near the beach, maybe families of construction workers , maybe no more jobs here so they start begging instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
