The Mirror Foundation got their figures pretty accurate, ß1000 p/day is about the upper limit. "Income" varies from place to place and from beggar to beggar. For that matter, an average fake Buddhist monk (mostly from a particular province in China which I shall refrain from naming) in Yaowarrat also earns ß25,000-30,000 p/month, enough to pay for their fine, their air ticket back home and eat comfortably when they are arrested by the police and sent to IDC in Suan Phlu awaiting deportation.

Back to the million dollar question..to give or not is always a personal decision. Even the most stingy, hard-hearted of men I have known have given to beggars on a given occasion. The begging simply doesn't stop ...because it's lucrative, much the same as prostitution. Once the numbers don't add up..it will stop! Same with all other "businesses"..
