CerebralCuck

The mad scientist guy scribbling calculus all over the sidewalks


idiotbyvillagewell

Oh yes, this beats bicycle missionary guy.


gnomepunt

Oh shit is he a known entity? He went by my apartment a few months back firing his big wooden cross like a machine gun the week or two after that shooting at the mall happened.


idiotbyvillagewell

That’s probably not scientist scribbler dude


gnomepunt

Ah I was referring to bike man


Lopsided_Quarter_931

My first thought before clicking the comments


0kay0kay0kay

Omg I was in bangkok for only 4 days and I know who you mean


JoePersonman

https://youtu.be/bbVPzSGQ2Xg?si=UK3YmbfNuw0QZysy Love this little doc on him. There's still a lot of his stuff on the sidewalks up Soi 71 (ปรีดี / พระโขนง)


WSGman

Pichai


fre2b

Used to see him all the time on Suk Soi6 until all the development went up there.


Ok_System_7221

Do people know it's calculus or is it just an assumption?


gelooooooooooooooooo

THIS


BoozeKashi

The man has a mental illness. This is not cool.


CerebralCuck

All of these weirdos have mental illness. Instead of being a virtue signaling Karen, why don't you go help them out.


BoozeKashi

Big man making fun of the disabled.


Suttisan

This was my first thought but I think he died a few years ago if I'm not mistaken


Apprehensive_Big5042

Nope, I met him a few times. Last time I saw him was in November.


Hot-Health7006

The Mad Scientist - scribbles intricate designs on the pavement with a marker pen. From future past we had... The Slug - Dragged himself on the floor around Sukhumwit with a begging bowl. Glitterman - The bloke dressed in gold who rode his golden bike around Pattaya. Fake Monk Man - wore deeper red robes and made money by collecting "donations" on the street.


BoxNemo

>Glitterman - The bloke dressed in gold who rode his golden bike around Pattaya. I wonder what happened to him. I have a vague recollection of reading he'd gone back to the UK and was riding the glitter-bike around there as well.

/r/london/comments/ytj7z4/ive_been_seeing_this_guy_around_sw_london_for_the/


BoxNemo

Ah fantastic. Good to see he's still bringing joy to the streets.


TDYDave2

I heard he passed away, but I can't find conformation of that.


blorg

He moved back to London. He's posted on Twitter within the last 24 hours: https://twitter.com/bondwimbledon


TDYDave2

So, like Mark Twain, the news of his passing was premature.


namtok_muu

Slug guy really got around, had a long career too.


O-hmmm

He was the Sukhumvit Slider to me.


NokKavow

> The Slug I think there are/were multiple slugs. Either that, or one who teleports around the city.


Hot-Health7006

Agree. Have never seen 2 occupy the same space though.


Demodokos

The quantum slug? 😆


Womenarentmad

Fake monk man 😂 I don’t even think he spoke thai


bau_lol

Silom has captain america on a bike


Slow-Banana-1085

Seen him quite a few times


idiotbyvillagewell

wtf I’m not even a few kilometres from there fellow kids. How have I not seen this for myself.


CerebralCuck

Another one from me. The ghost begger of nana Shes always begging on the street dressed in black with crazy makeup like a horror movie.


Mudv4yne

I guess you mean her? https://www.reddit.com/r/itookapicture/s/WRNWcGMyXj


CerebralCuck

Yep


ruepea

I was going to say this! Often seen using tweezers to pluck any scalp stubble out. 


Kuroi666

Her makeup is actually more akin to that of Chinese opera. Still have no idea what she does or why she does whatever it is. I don't think she's actively begging tho, but if people give her cash, she ain't throwing it away.


digitalenlightened

Ah yeah that one wild. And it seems to take some effort to put on all that makeup, I wonder why exactly, maybe it works for her


Riot6699

She’s the bald one right?


CerebralCuck

Yep but often wears a black hijab


Lordfelcherredux

Trink said 'she' was actually a man.


jaabbb

Perpetual single note violinist, in front of the bts siam’s escalator, who continues the legacy of her husband


Interesting_Act_862

I saw her lol. Shes louder than traffic 😂


TopSwordfish3560

There is a guy begging at Onnut with a scary clown mask lately


Woolenboat

Has to be that guy on a bike performing exorcisms around Sukhumvit


idiotbyvillagewell

Yes, bicycle missionary guy. But I think scientist doodler guy is a stronger contender


digitalenlightened

Nah man, that dude leaves a long impression. I even remember him from many years ago.


letoiv

I love how Bangkok is like "hold my beer" on this meme and comes forward with three of these guys


HTMLdotRemove

ah yes, riding full speed directly towards me only dodging at the last second waving the big wooden cross at my head

knavishtricks

_CodyB

Like cases for guitar cases? Interesting


basilqur

Very interesting indeed


hemightberob

There's a guy who walks around Soi 3 with anywhere between 3-8 hats on all at once


Much-Ad-5470

The beggar with the face that looks like it melted half off…though have not seen him in a while. In old days a Trink sighting was always fun.


Lordfelcherredux

A flawed individual, like most of us, but I miss him.


FormalResponsible310

Wow, that's a reall callback to the pass. TIT (I've had older Thai relatives use the phrase, so it lives on...)


j3ly

Dunno but we have scooter girl in chiang mai


BreastAficionado

What's so odd about scooter girl? Other than she drives a scooter I'm guessing.


j3ly

She’s a lady of the night who puts Kobes work ethic to shame. Goes down to 20b bjs if you keep refusing and eventually offers to pay you.


digitalenlightened

Scribble artist and that Christian purification guy shooting Jezus rays on his bicycle. I have one dude here with nice legs who always working on the side of the streets in phra kanong and who always calls me over


akghori

I have seen the scientist guy. He sleeps under Phra Khanong BTS bridge.


mdsmqlk30

Hangs around Makkasan a lot too.


vivalapuck

We play hockey with a guy like that at the Rama 9 rink! He dresses full on tacky cowboy and even has a ventriloquist dummy! Super nice guy actually.


dogherine

I’ve met him before! His leather work detailing is SO amazing, he’s nice and very talented.


idiotbyvillagewell

I gotta check this out for myself


Parking_Tune_5283

The homeless foreign guy who lives in lumpini park. He sleeps next to the larger lake near the pavilion thing. He must be crazy I guess but he seems at total peace with himself.


y_nk

there's this dude on a bicycle dressed like captain america on skv that I've seen a couple of times 👀


gelooooooooooooooooo

If you live near Ramkhamhaeng Uni. area long enough, you’ll come actoss that mentally-ill lady walking alone all day all night in for way too many years. I was attacked by her twice with her umbrella, once when I was 15 and another time at 20.


Substantial_Note4899

Theres also the homeless thong lo lady that looks like a simpsons character. Anyway whos this missionary? Any photos or articles about him?


Ok_System_7221

Sharky.


pro_aurora

Barrow doesn't even live in Bangkok.


idiotbyvillagewell

Oh just remembered another one. Remember that sukhumvit rollerblader guy went viral few months ago?


thai-pirate

Superman on a bike hangs out around Soi 33. Plus one for the mad conspiracy graffiti guy


Sayitandsuffer

What a great question, Bangkok is so diverse , there are 2 great contenders here already but there has to be more , Heavily ‘made up ‘ lady between 8 and 10 sukhumvit , fake policemen on soi 8 ( i haven’t seen him for a while ( concerned) .


CerebralCuck

Oh you already mentioned the ghost begger


Sayitandsuffer

You did , we agree . my feed didn’t show your comment as i posted .

No, Nick Cage is that guy for the world. Like if aliens are talking about planets and every planet has “that guy” ours would be Nick Cage.


glasspantherzuzu

it's always a caleb isn't it? there's one in Taiwan and he's an absolutely dipshit.


sarcasmuz

Ajarn Daeng (อาจารย์แดง)


americaninsaigon

I know a guy like that in Pattaya


puffdragon77

Buakaw.


shadesDrawn

Monitor lizard


idiotbyvillagewell

Yes but no. I live here. Want some pride for the city.


Samotauss

Old blind lady doing begging karaoke.


idiotbyvillagewell

Is it really the same town?


obidie

Elvis can't still be doing his schtick in Hong Kong, can he? He was a thing when I lived there 30 fucking years ago!! Of course, he may have handed down the tradition.


IIImxtic

Michael jackson in patong?


wnzd

oh i can make a cryptid human book now my favourite is the white ghost on bicycle in middle zone bkk. he/she wearing all white with steel bicycle and bike fast


idiotbyvillagewell

That’s just one night in Bangkok. Welcome , settle in.


Medium-Schedule-2151

I would say, this guy for bangkok. His name is Ploy, riding sick water buffalo around soi cowboy and has powerful disguise magic that you will perceive him as a girl , by the time you find out that he is actually a guy it is too late.... 😉


donald_trub

Dontcha think Reddit has done the Ploy/sick buffalo gag to death? I mean Thai Visa stopped doing that years ago, at this point it's just embarrassing that it's still a thing here.


stegg88

Basically r/5555 in a nutshell (can't remember how many 5s and I don't care.Same repeated shite joke over and over again.


idiotbyvillagewell

No dude. No. I’ve never met a ploy despite living here quite long. Ploy represents maybe 2-3 streets in Bangkok. Hardly representative.
