Big foot---most hated german in Thailand...back in the news
THE beggar dubbed as the "Most Hated German in Thailand" has taken his attractive wife from The Gambia to the fatherland.
A video showed Benjamin Holst and his love interest along with an unnamed child enjoying a happy funfair ride.
Perhaps recognizing that he is well known in Thailand Benjamin posted on Thaivisa's Facebook page that he had traveled to Germany .
The German - who has a massive leg that he uses to garner sympathy and donations - was vilified in Thailand after many Thais in Bangkok took pity on him and gave him money.
He was later seen unrepentant and enjoying the high life with beer and prostitutes in Pattaya.
The Thais were furious and kicked him out and blacklisted him.
He found his way to Africa where what he calls true love blossomed in The Gambia.
Meanwhile on Facebook several posters were arguing about where he got his money for the latest jaunt.
On one site Herr Holst said that to mark his birthday on January 14th he was appealing for funds for poor African children.
He promised to send the cash to a "non-profit organisation".
Cant keep a good man down
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Good for Benjamin, it's good that things are improving for him and that he found the love of his life in The Gambia. Hopefully now, he will no longer be the most hated man in Thailand! I hope he can get all his travel needs and medical treatment he needs for his leg, his new bride and son.

You should donate to help him then.

To see the bright side of her relationship with him, just think of what will happen when she decides to do a runner on him.

Was that pun intended? If so, very funny! And let's hope that Benjamin's new bride, his new son, and the surgery all help him get a leg up in life!

I saw the guy begging by some traffic lights in Q1 Saigon in 2017. Loads of people were giving him money. He was coining it.

Not for a long time, I believe he is black-listed in Vietnam. I saw him in Lisbon a couple of months ago.Smoking Joe Conrad wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2019 4:51 am I saw the guy begging by some traffic lights in Q1 Saigon in 2017. Loads of people were giving him money. He was coining it.

He's obviously good pretty good at the game.
Most celebrities have to stoop far lower to be as instantly recognisable all over the world as this chuckling chap.
And to freeload as successfully.
