What about the women with very young children who I have seen hanging around Nana/Asog Skytrain stations or on the bridges across Sukhumvit road in that area? Are they amateur or professional?

Sorry Peter, but the those areas you mentioned are havens for the fake beggar gangs. Other areas are MBK, Siam Square, Victory Monument etc....

Those babies you see in the arms the supposed mother are more likely than not..... just a ploy to have the sympathetic passer-by spare some free change. Not the real mother at all. One of the reports i wrote earlier about: The Kom Chat Leuk newspaper say the going rate to 'rent a baby' from a slum family was around 100 baht a day.

There may be the odd genuine beggar who sits on such footbridges, but not for long.....or the gangs will be around quick expecting some protection money. If not, they too, would have to be part of the syndicate.....or disappear.
