Pocket money

Traveled to Chang Mai and visited a mountain top temple.
So peaceful and calm seriously tempted to convert to buddism.
In order to get to the temple we had to clime 300+ stairs (in humidity and heat).
Half way up was this little one! Please note that serious face and business stance! He's working! His Job? To look cute and tempt tourists to take photos with him then charge them!
Wouldn't happen in the Uk but he was making a killing and as soon as money was in hand ran off to hand it over to mum.
Tourist offices will tell you not to give to him cause it encourages begging. But it's hard not to be drawn in when presented with that face and costume.
Can you imagin the druggies in the Uk going to the same lengths for a few bob?
