Tourist police, charity rescue German beggar

www.thai-dk.dk/uploads/,,,,jhgtfrde.jpg


The tourism police and a German charity have come to the aid of a German man with excessively swollen legs, found begging near Khao San Road in Bangkok, after his photos were distributed and shared on social media.

Chumphol Thiangtham, chairman of the Deutscher Hilfsverein Thailand eV, said yesterday that Benjamin Holse had been put up at a guesthouse following coordination between his organisation and officials from the German Embassy. The man will be taken to the embassy on Monday to be given a new passport after further verification of his identity.

Chumphol said the German organisation officials had earlier approached Holse and offered help but he had turned it down. Tourism police, after learning about Holse from social media, stepped in and contacted Chumphol again for help, he added.

He said Holse had arrived in Thailand on September 2 by a Chinese Eastern Airlines flight on a one-way ticket. A tourism policeman, Pol Lieutenant Piyaphong Bukhunthos, said police first contacted Holse on Wednesday and the German had said his passport, wallet and other documents had been stolen.

A police Facebook page later quoted Holse as saying that the excessive swelling on his legs was a congenital symptom and his condition was neither elephantiasis nor painful.

German beggar spends donated cash drinkin' and partyin' in Pattaya

The public will be relieved to know the destitute farang beggar with the swollen foot last seen rescued from the streets of Bangkok for repatriation to his homeland is doing just fine – waaay fine.

Days after Benjamin Holse was found sleeping on Khaosan Road and given a hotel room while his embassy arranged for a new passport and ticket home, the 29-year-old German reportedly skipped out and is currently having an awesome time in Pattaya, sex tourism capital of the world.

It was only Friday when photos shared online led tourist police Friday to find Holse. Deutscher Hilfsverein Thailand, an organization that aids German citizens, paid for him to stay in a hotel until they could take him to the embassy, according to a report on Thailand Police Story.

For "duping the entire nation," the national police account said Holse was detained yesterday for questioning by Pattaya police.

They ultimately released him because there was nothing to charge him with, as being a dick is not a crime – especially in Pattaya.

Since then Benjamin has been seen spending the donated THB50,000 cash in a bar, drinking and partying.

German 'victim' caught having fun in Pattaya

Man with swollen leg detained, may be deported; social media fumes over abuse of Thai generosity

AFTER ATTRACTING sympathy and donations from Thais in Bangkok, a German with an excessively swollen leg was seen enjoying drinks and the nightlife in Pattaya on Wednesday night. Tourist police have detained Benjamin Holse, 29.

Lt-Colonel Arun Promphan of the Tourist Police Division said yesterday the German Embassy would be informed of the latest development and Holse would be deported.

Holse sneaked away from a Bangkok hotel that a German foundation had arranged for him to stay in while waiting for the issuance of a passport earlier this week. The German initially claimed his passport was stolen.

Taxi motorcyclists in South Pattaya said yesterday they recognised Holse from his pictures in the news when he showed up on Tuesday night.

Holse was described on social media as a poor man whose money and passport had stolen in Thailand and who ended up begging for money on Bangkok streets.

Chumphol Thiangtham, chairman of Deutscher Hilfsverein Thailand eV, said on Sunday the German organisation had approached Holse and offered him help before his case went viral on the Internet, but he turned it down.

Tourist police, after learning about Holse, then contacted Chumphol and asked him to help the German, he said.

The taxi motorcyclists in Pattaya claimed that Holse showed off more than Bt40,000 when they recognised him. "He also gave us money, telling us to get him some beer and some girls for him to sleep with," one of the taxi motorcyclists said on condition of anonymity.

He claimed Holse did not like the girl they brought for him and decided to check out Pattaya Walking Street himself.

During his trip to Pattaya, many pictures of Holse were taken and uploaded onto social media.

Once again pictures of him created a stir, but there was no sympathy this time.

Thais are angry because it seems he preyed on their generosity.

A hotel employee in Pattaya claimed a drunk Holse called Thais stupid for giving him money.

Tourist police who accompanied Holse to a hotel in Pattaya on Wednesday night said the German had just Bt7,000 left.

According to the tourist police, Holse claimed he came to Pattaya to meet a friend but his friend did not show up.

Jeg tror nu ikke han kommer ind i landet igen. Immigration politiet har altså rigtig godt styr på det. Jeg blev stoppet af tre cevilklædte mænd fra immigrations politiet på gaden i Bangkok for et par uger siden. De går rundt og checker op på om os "Faranger" har visaet i orden så de viste deres legitimation, på min opfordring, og spurgte efter mit pas. Det havde jeg ikke med men viste dem i første omgang mit Thai kørekort. De ringede et eller andet sted hen og efter lidt venten gav de mig mit kørekort tilbage og sagde alt var i orden. Jeg stod derefter og talte lidt med den ene af dem mens de to andre undersøgte en person fra Australien som jeg havde stået og snakket med forinden. Efter lidt tid viste ham som man fornemmede var chefen mig et foto på sin mobiltelefon. Billedet var det som var taget af mig i Suvarnabhumi da jeg sidste gang kom ind i Thailand efter et besøg i Danmark. Han fortalte mig igen at alt var ok. Han sagde han kunne at jeg havde Retirement visa gyldigt indtil 5. marts 2015 og at jeg var kommet ind sidst 13. maj i år. Ham den anden de undersøgte som iøvrigt var en flygtig bekendt af mig og fra Australien tog de med sig og jeg har ikke set ham siden, selvom jeg har ledt efter ham i området hvor jeg ved han bor/boede. Må nok sige at jeg var noget forbløffet over denne styr på tingene. Jeg har ofte tænkt på når jeg er rejst ud eller ind hvad der mon bliver af alle de fotos og immigrations papirer i lufthavnen men de har altså en mission.

Det skal måske lige nævnes at ham Australieren stod og solgte nogle brugte ure fra et bord han havde slået op på fortovet. Det havde han gjort gennem et par uger og det var derved jeg kom i kontakt med ham. Jeg stoppede op hver dag og snakkede lidt med ham da det var tæt på min bolig.
Dette ursalg var, i første omgang, grunden til at immigrations politiet tog ham med. De bad ham simpelthen om at få skidtet pakket sammen og følge med dem. Jeg prøvde at hjælpe ham lidt ved at sige til dem at det faktisk var hans kærestes lille gesjæft men kunne godt mærke at det skulle jeg absolut ikke blande mig i, så jeg klappede selvfølgelig i. Faranger skal nok nærmest have arbejdstilladelse for at drive den slags virksomhed selvom man synes at det hører bagatellerne til. Hvorvidt han visa forhold iøvrigt var i orden ved jeg ikke. I hvertfald er han forsvundet fra området så om han er blevet sat fast eller sendt hjem ved jeg ikke.
Det er vigtigt at man har tingene på det rene!

Jeg tror nu ikke han kommer ind i landet igen. Immigration politiet har altså rigtig godt styr på det.


det er ikke svært at komme ind i thailand igen selv om du er udvist

1. du skifter navn

2 du får et nyt pas

3 laver om på frisuren bliver klippet skallet eller får langt hår

det var opskriften hvis du får brug for det en skønne dag ((8((

ja og det er fordumt, om det er hans eller hans pigens bod, er underordnet han skal have en arbejdstilladelse som han slet ikke kan få, faranger må ikke udføre den slags arbejde

BT skriver lidt om tyskeren

Tiggede sig til bytur med thai-piger: Verdenskendt fusker spottet i København

En tysk mand, der har vakt stor opstandelse i Thailand ved at udgive sig for at være hjemløs, er nu set på gaden i København.

Benjamin Holse. Dét er navnet på den 29-årige tyske mand, der de seneste måneder har skabt masser af overskrifter i thailandske medier.

I første omgang tilbage i september fordi han var blevet spottet tiggende på gaden. Ifølge Benjamin Holse selv fordi han havde fået stjålet alle sine penge og sit pas. Men tyskeren, der er letgenkendelig på grund af et voldsomt hævet højre ben, brugte tilsyneladende ikke sine almisser fra forbipasserende thailændere på at skaffe sig en returbillet til Tyskland.

Benjamin Holst

vores tiggerven er tilbage i asien nærmere bestemt Malaysia


Benjamin Holst, the notorious traveller with one swollen leg, has been spotted panhandling here.

The 32-year-old German, who is known worldwide as a professional beggar, depends on the generosity of locals to fund his travelling and partying lifestyle and is said to have arrived here on March 2 by train from Singapore.

His recent social media posts showed him enjoying the night-life, food and scenery of Bukit Bintang and Penang island.

For the past three years, the controversial figure, who suffers from a rare form of localised gigantism called Macrodystrophia lipomatosa that has caused his left leg to be severely swollen, has been seen begging on the streets of Thailand, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Cambodia and Indonesia.

“He takes advantage of people all over Asia by begging for money, which you may at first think is to help fund his healthcare for his disability,” she wrote.

“However, he brags on his personal Facebook page about how he’s staying in expensive hotels, eating in nice restaurants and spending endless money on prostitutes,” she added.

Notorious beggar Benjamin Holst appears to love Asia

www.thai-dk.dk/uploads/image-4321234.jpg


In 2014 the beggar used his swollen leg to exploit the sympathy of Thais to get money, but used it to support his extravagant life and shamelessly posted photos on Facebook.

Also known as “the party beggar with the big foot”, he is now in Kaula Lumpur after being seen in Penang. The Star online described him as a professional beggar and depended on the generosity of locals to fund his travelling and partying lifestyle.

The 32yearold German is said to have arrived in Malaysia on March 2 by train from Singapore.

His recent social media posts show him enjoying the nightlife, food and scenery of Bukit Bintang and Penang island.

“Time for cheaper girls and beach,” he wrote in one post depicting his journey from Kuala Lumpur to Penang.

Holst suffers from a rare form of localised gigantism called Macrodystrophia lipomatosa that has caused his left leg to swell severely. He has been seen begging on the streets of Thailand, Philippines, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Singapore and Malaysia.

His Facebook page is filled with photos bragging about his exploits in these countries.

University of Nottingham student Lauren Sula, 23, warned Malaysians via the Backpackers Buddies Malaysia Facebook group on Saturday to stay away from Holst.

“He takes advantage of people all over Asia by begging for money, which you may at first think is to help fund his healthcare for his disability,” she wrote. “However, he brags on his personal Facebook page about how he’s staying in expensive hotels, eating in nice restaurants and spending endless money on prostitutes.”

Several Malaysians told The Star Online that they had seen him begging around the city on Sunday.

“I saw him begging on the covered walkway near the Imbi monorail station at about 3pm. He sat on the floor and was waiting for people to give him money,” postgraduate student Muhammad Afi, 28, said.

Eliza Hamdam, 38, said she had twice spotted Holst. “One evening last week, he sat and begged with a small transparent plastic bowl in Bukit Bintang where a lot of homeless people are often seen,” she said.

She said she saw him again on Sunday night wandering around Jalan Alor. “Although one of his legs was swollen, he walked normally,” she said.

In 2014, he claimed his passport and cash were stolen during his trip to Thailand. He attracted a lot of sympathy, partly because of his disfigured leg. A German foundation later provided him with a hotel room while he waited for a new passport, he then took a taxi to Pattaya where a taxi motorcyclists claimed that he showed him more than Bt40,000 when they recognised him.

“He also gave us money, telling us to get him some beer and some girls for him to sleep with,” one motorcyclist said on condition of anonymity. Holst was detained and later deported.

In 2015, he reappeared in the Philippines. He announced in his Facebook page that he was in Angeles City.

In 2016, he shared pictures of himself dining in McDonalds and other local restaurants. He also posted a picture of himself going to a betting station.

In other posts, Holst said he has spent nights at Hong Kong’s red light district looking for prostitutes and bragged he was taking them to hotels. He said he went to the Thai consulate in Hong Kong and joked that they might allow him back to Thailand.

In September of the same year, he was arrested in Surabaya in Java as he partied with girls using the money he got from panhandling.

Before being arrested, he was spotted at a traffic light in Tabanan, Bali, and a video of him went viral on social media.

This year, he posted in his Facebook page that he was in Singapore and then he was spotted in Malaysia.

A man once dubbed the “most hated German in Thailand” was denied boarding a Thai Airways flight on Tuesday after being blacklisted by Thai immigration.

Notorious beggar Benjamin Holst, who first hit the headlines in 2014, when he used his swollen leg to get money out of generous Thais who were sympathetic towards his plight.

Holst’s story was shared among Thais on social media and he even featured on national television.

On Tuesday he tried to board a Thai Airways flight from Zurich to Laos, with a transit in Bangkok.

However, the airline refused to allow him to board, citing that he was blacklisted by Thai immigration. –

"Most hated German in Thailand" takes his wife to Hamburg and he's still asking for donations

"Most hated German in Thailand" takes his wife to Hamburg and he's still asking for donations
A beggar dubbed as the "Most Hated German in Thailand" has taken his attractive wife from The Gambia to the fatherland.

A video showed Benjamin Holst and his love interest along with an unnamed child enjoying a happy funfair ride.

Perhaps recognizing that he is well known in Thailand Benjamin posted on Thaivisa's Facebook page that he had traveled to Germany .

The German - who has a massive leg that he uses to garner sympathy and donations - was vilified in Thailand after many Thais in Bangkok took pity on him and gave him money.

He was later seen unrepentant and enjoying the high life with beer and prostitutes in Pattaya.

The Thais were furious and kicked him out and blacklisted him.

He found his way to Africa where what he calls true love blossomed in The Gambia.

Meanwhile on Facebook several posters were arguing about where he got his money for the latest jaunt.

On one site Herr Holst said that to mark his birthday on January 14th he was appealing for funds for poor African children.

He promised to send the cash to a "non-profit organisation".

However, it appears people online might have got wise to his schemes - as of today only one Euro of a target of 150 Euros had been donated.
