It is possible this guy was raising funds for one of the voluntary organisations that attend road accidents and suicides etc and undertake funeral arrangements for those dead without families. Thats all I can think of.

Yes, this guy was raising funds, but for which organization!!!! I had this kind of experience once, people told me not to give money to them. We don’t know whether they are from real foundation or not, they dress in uniform, came by pickup truck, look like a rescue team, they spread around to do their work, few words from them, might be “ ·ÓºØ*¤ÃÑº/ tamboon krub” or please make merit. And they are very polite, nicest and warmest smile on their faces waiting for your money. Even though they don’t get your money they keep on smiling and move on to others.

The major voluntary foundation in Thailand - Pohtecktung http://www.pohtecktung.com/home.htm warns in the website to beware of scams, they don’t send their staff to collect money or anything at home or public places unless donators are inconvenient and want them to, but by appointment only.
