My solution is to stand up ,,,take the top off the sauce bottle and hold it above the head of the beggar or person annoying me , following them out as they run for the footpath. I dont know why, but they never come back again.

After that they started to introduce themselves by saying ( I am from Philippine and now I am volunteering in one of the NGO in Cambodia and helping children in Cambodia (orphans). Our NGO is facing financial problem so we are now raising fund to help support the NGO. So please donate some money to help us).

Therefore, I donated $1 and the guy sitting near also donated some money. However I felt doubt about it as I am also working in the NGO. Raising fund by holding pictures of children and handing people an envelop is not common. So I curiously followed her then I was surprised by what I saw. ( she took the money from the envelop and put it right away in her pocket. :)
It may be the same group or not! They have actually been to my bar in kk a few times now. My last meeting with them were PP on the other side of the Japanese bridge, working on passengers getting mini buses. I said you get around a bit

How about Dickhead ? This bloke seems to insult lots of people on here, usually for no reason.
