Yeah, I think you mean the guy in this picture: https://www.gregtodiffer.com/bangkok-beggars-the-good-the-bad-and-the-fake/ I still see him today. A very glass-half-full view is that he figured out a way to turn his disability into a money maker…? Still kinda cheap though.

Thanks Scott, good idea. Maybe I could start my second job as a wallet collector, make a few extra bucks. 🙂

I saw a picture the other day of a blind woman in Bangkok who takes the bus to her corner, sets up her stall and sells sandwiches all day at 20b a pop. Meanwhile these douchebags are milking what could arguably be seen as a much less debilitating disability. Pisses me off.

I always enjoy your posts – such a wide variety of topics covered. You must be a magnet for people that have lost their wallets on the bus. You should have gotten on for a bus ride right in front of her.

Walking by one day (being tall) I noticed something on the roof of the bus shelter – I stopped and looked – it was his prosthetic leg which he removed for “work” then at the end of the shift he popped it back on headed into 7/11 for beers then off home.

Didn’t he give me the filthiest look when he saw me looking at his artificial leg not so cleverly concealed – of course in typical fashion I was the ass….
