Giving to beggars

is it right?...I think its an ethical conundrum...why do a small percentage of the poor go begging in farang districts and the rest of them just get on with life?

Are there gang masters who put these people out? I dont really wanna encourage some woman to be dragging her kids out on the street to postion them with empty cups outside BTS stairs but sometimes its heartbreaking

I give to Nuns, monks, blind and disabled people....what about you?
