Sophon Cable TV reported on Facebook that the world of Chinese social media was heaping praise on a Thai woman who found a purse and managed to return it to its rightful owner.

 

Heroine of the hour was Arun Matayarit, 46, who works as an employee on the NPE company speedboat service between Pattaya and Koh Larn.

 

She found a purse on the beach with a passport in the name of Miss Zhang Xue, 21, and with the help of friends returned that and the money contents - 5,000 baht and 3,500 yuan - to the Chinese tourist.

 

Sophon said that the story was doing the rounds of Chinese social media who were praising Arun.

Impressed? Ok, have anybody been thinking about what that tells about the major population?

This woman belongs to the very rare, long lost tribe of honest people, that still,

every now and than show up to amaze people with their act of honor and self

respect to others...

Credit where its due .. It would have been easy for someone to have picked it up and kept it .. To go and actively find the woman to return it is worthy of praise indeed .. Good on ya Arun ..

Packing onto tour buses to go see men in skirt shows tells a bit more about them.

At last a good news story,  this will undoubtably undo all the recent bad news!! Everything in the world is fine again ?

Game keepers and speed boat reps for generals.

I found a wallet dropped in a Bangkok taxi on Saturday.  Using the Bangladeshi ID cards/credit cards/Thai driving licence my son tracked him down via FB.  Telephone numbers were exchanged and put us in touch with the owner.  We waited about till he arrived.  He thanked us and left.  There was a BKK bank receipt showing a 500,000 transfer. He didn't even offer to buy us a drink.

The phone and money in the clear case around her neck is just shouting "I want to be a victim". 

Set up promotion for Chinese New Year???

I assume she weighed up the odds preferring to come clean otherwise get caught on camera stealing the contents. Time for TAT to intervene with another Fruit/flower basket and heap on the praise .................

Perhaps he is a Muslim; being from Bangladesh; and dissapproves of taking alcohol. Then again, he could just be a tight wad.

Fair point as CCTV cameras are presently being installed on the Beach Road promenade. Some of them might even work ....... but which ones?
