By The Nation

 

 

A cash box with Bt1.5 million inside was found unattended outside a Kasikorn Bank ATM machine in Bangkok’s Huay Kwang district on Friday morning.

 

The box was found by Somchai Butrsakhon, 55, in front of an ATM machine at the mouth of Soi Pracharaj Bampen 6.

 

Somchai contacted the JS100 traffic radio station that informed the Huay Kwang police station.

 

A Kasikorn Bank official rushed to check the box at the station and confirmed it belonged to his bank and that it contained Bt1,000 banknotes worth Bt1.5 million.

Eating or sleeping, depending on the time of the day and his/her mood.

There are still honest people is this world. I hope K bank gave a reward. The person who turned in the notes  deserves it

How are 1,000 banknotes worth B1.5m?  I thought the highest denomination note was B1,000!

 

Is it an insurance scam gone wrong at the last minute?

1,500

1500 x 1000= 1.5 mn. Just a matter of how you interpret the sentence.

If you read the line again it was 1,000 Baht bank notes worth 1,5 M Baht, so the box contained 1,500 Bank notes.

That's already been Pointed-out.

I opened this as the headline read , at least to me , cashbox with 1 Baht 50 Satang found.

The ATM maintenance guy had to rush off the get a Red Bull at the 7 Eleven

I disagree if you read the headline again you will find the box was only worth 1.5 baht!

Written correctly, it should be "Bt1,000-banknotes worth Bt1.5 million". It is one one of those cases where a hyphen makes a difference.

In Danish we would say that "someone got red ears", but seem like that expression is not valid in English language, but someone may still get red ears, when realizing that someone forgot the ATM-container with 1.5m baht next to the machine...

Like the bit about the Kasikorn official "rushed" down the cop shop to check....bet he did, as he was worried it would do a disappearing act.

A post containing foreign language has been removed. 

Why am I always in the wrong place at the wrong time?

And some guy at another bank looking around asking 'where did I put it?'

Staggering example of Thai inefficiency and lack of conscientiousness! Also staggering example of Thai lack of observation and ingenuity in 'seizing the moment' ......lol.

Sorry I just can't help it but the cop in the picture is looking at the box like "How can I get some of this"

We would say "someone got an earful" very much the same thing.
