According to Thai media news, on January 31, a foreigner near the bus stop in front of the entrance of Mochi BTS station in Bangkok, Thailand, attracted the attention of the public, only to see the foreign man wearing a yellow shirt and elephant pants, and lying on the side of the road with dense crowds doing yoga-like exercise postures in public.
At the same time, there was a card standing next to the man, written on both sides in English and neat Thai: "I need 20 baht or more to buy a ticket home, thank you!" ”。According to eyewitnesses, the man had been seen begging here since January 30, and there were other beggars in the area, so he did not pay much attention to it because he was in a hurry to get to work.
After the news spread on social media, it attracted the attention of many people, many people expressed disgust at this kind of behavior that is very likely to be a scam, and some people thought that it may be that the tourist is really experiencing difficulties, such as losing or stealing his wallet. As the concern grew, Thailand's Minister of Social Development and Human Security, Varaou, responded to the incident, sending someone to investigate immediately after learning of the incident, but upon arrival, he found that the foreign man was no longer at the scene.
After inquiring about nearby businesses, the staff learned that the above-mentioned foreign man's behavior had been 2-3 days, and during this period, some department personnel came to warn him. Valau added that if he receives any further information about it, he will immediately go to investigate. In any case, the staff only found a few Thai beggars here that day and brought them back for questioning.
