Footage shows a begpacker stopping cars while holding a sign pleading for money in Thailand.

The man wearing flip-flops, shorts and a t-shirt was seen with the piece of cardboard reading ‘I travel long time I need money for food HELP' in Phatthalung province on June 12.

Begpacking emerged several years ago when tourists were seen busking or begging to fund their travels - usually across third-world countries in Asia.

The practice disappeared during the pandemic due to travel restrictions but a number of new instances of begpackers asking locals for money have emerged.
