Crackdown on Riverside?
Crackdown on Riverside?
Almost every time I had a smoke outside my workplace in BKK1 yesterday morning, I was accosted by a beggar or hustler. There were 6 separate instances in all, each involving a single individual.Four were elderly Khmer beggars; two of whom I recognised as riverside veterans. There was also a 60ish American, who looked to be on ice, and a younger, barefoot Australian, who may have been a junky.
I have never seen beggars in these numbers in BKK1 before. The Riverside regulars sometimes move to BKK1 when they are removed from Riverside during events like the Water Festival, but I have never encountered foreign hustlers there before. Is something happening on St. 172 or were they just making an early morning start?

Interesting observation, I haven't heard about any change. Maybe they realized the begging is better in BKK.

Re: Western beggars.
Pictures please. Or how can we recognize them from St 172 ?
Why are they awake in daylight hours ?

Gilmore is obviously part of a TOF conspiracy to entrap them by smoking Romeo y Julieta cigars outside. The smoke wafts down to 172, and indigent teflers follow its scent to BKK.
