Efforts to Curb Illegal Begging Intensified in Bangkok
The Ministry of Social Development and Human Security in Bangkok is intensifying efforts to address illegal begging. Routine inspections are being carried out to apprehend illegal beggars, with Thai beggars sent for training and job opportunities, and immigrant beggars processed for deportation. The minister revealed that 30% of beggars are foreigners, and emphasized the need for public cooperation to report illegal begging activities and refrain from giving money to beggars.
