Foreigners make up nearly 30% of beggars in Thailand
Thai minister reveals that nearly 30% of beggars in Thailand are foreigners, with approximately 8,000 beggars arrested between 2014 and 2024. Beggars resort to emotional tactics, but those caught with unrelated children will face criminal charges. Foreign beggars are deported, while Thai beggars are sent for career training.
