The latest technique in farang begpacking...

Farangs selling Thai flags in Bangkok may be new breed of begpacker

A week ago, this photo of a foreign man on a roadside with Thai flags appeared on Twitter with the caption, “This farang at Sri Ayutthaya junction hands out flags to the cars stuck in traffic with a small piece of paper. Every car would return the flags to him. I’m not sure if he’s trying to sell the flags,” wrote Twitter user Mali-Mali.
Well, if every car gives them back, it’s probably a safe bet that he’s trying to sell them.


Today, a similar photo of a young, attractive, smiling, white blond woman appeared in the Bangkok Post with the caption, “A Western woman sells miniature national and royal flags at an intersection near the Customs Department in Klong Toey district. She hands potential buyers a note saying she is deaf and trying to raise money to buy a hearing aid. Concerns have been raised over whether she is breaking labour laws by selling the flags without a work permit.”

Hmmm, her routine of handing a note with the flag sounds very similar to the routine of the man in the photo above. Could they both be deaf?

It's good to see that in some countries white people are the fucking gyppos.

Opinion piece from the Bangkok Post:
'Deaf' Western beggars deserve a right earful
Taking advantage of Thais' Buddhist generosity is about as low as foreigners can stoop in the Land of Smiles...

Those begers are east european, turks, russians and from the "stan " countries.

Please dont refer to humans from these shitty countries as westerners.

Pretty sure Thailand, like Cambodia has had its share of UK and Euro beggars.

Wasn't the elephant leg man from Germany?

Lots of Brits have been begging or in serious financial straits, lots of scammers from other EU countries.

Which is worse, begging or bag-packing?
