PHUKET: Government officials rewarded an 11-year-old schoolboy today (Dec 1) \ after he returned a wallet containing B920 in cash, credit cards and a passport that he found at a market in Chalong to its rightful owner earlier this week.

 

The boy, Peerapon Kwaengjan, who is a student at Bangneaw Municipality School in Phuket Town, was helping his grandmother to sell flowers after he finished school at a market near Phuket Country Home housing estate on Luang Por Chaem Rd in Chalong when he found a black wallet on the road at a parking area on Wednesday (Nov 27).

Admire in children attributes which you struggle to find in adults - catcher in the rye.

people return lost possessions all the time back in my home country. i have done so myself many times.

 

what is interesting is that this is a news worthy event here. culturally very depressing.

We live in a world where a reward is expected for returned property and people get down on those who don't do it.  Of course actual honesty is surprising.
