Beggars will need licenses under a new begging law

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Beggars will need licenses under a new begging law

Post by Anchor Moy »

Well, good luck with that...
Under the new law, beggars will have to register at district offices after which they will be issued with ID cards which will enable them to beg legally without threat of arrests...

The law also introduces penalties against people who force, intimidate or encourage others to beg for their benefits.

I heard it was the police chief's wife that was running the kids on 51. So, not sure how that will improve things. I guess she will just give him a blowjob and he will sign on the polka-dotted line.

Jesus these fookers are beyond belief. What with a supposed 90% employment in the kingdom and all. LMAO

Now they have to go to the district office begging for ID Cards. Vicious cycle.
