There is also a big possibility to call them much worse things, so in general they should be happy about that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anon789561 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 to me it's just busking not begging but no doubt they'll get kicked out as some guy busking with his guitar was not so long ago. people have different views on it and this couple, i thought the music was rubbish so i wouldn't have given them anything. i think in london busking can be so lucrative in some spots on the underground they now have auditions and they need licenses and i think there's been some people signed up with record labels after being discovered busking there. don't like what they are playing just don't give them anything. big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHTel Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Nice one. Grandpa Elliot and many more singing for change. They are buskers or street musicians. Are they beggars in the eyes of some members here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This old fart sees loads of similar types hitchhiking on the roads from Chiang Mai north, begging rides off locals who earn fifty times less than them and who have assets worth hundreds of times less - can't even afford the 87 baht bus fare, truly truly pathetic. There's nothing new about this really. Back in the 70s there was a book called Europe on 5 dollars a day....essentially tourism by begging.. even back then it wasn't a great way to see Europe.. Having said that, at least they haven't become "English Teachers" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I did run into a spanish girl hitchiking in P-loke trying to get to Sukkothai, but that was a year or two ago. Nothing I have seen on the CM to CR route on the last 5 trips. Will keep monitoring.

Two things: As said, the ones I have seen have been in the stretch of road between Chiang Mai and Mae Rim, a route I travel almost daily. What is wrong with you!
