That must have been one fat wallet. 

I wouldn't be surprised if customs kept the money because it was the international terminal and that's probably more than you're allowed to carry in or out of the country without reporting it. 

 

And if they didn't- they missed a great opportunity...

It's 20k $US I think, so he wouldn't need to declare it.

Well done

 

A wallet ( impossible ) or a " man-bag " ( probable ) 

So the director of the airport rewarded her but not the owner of the money ?

Wow, that must have been a fat wallet! Or were they all 10,000 baht banknotes? 

An airport souvenir bag for 500k, not much of a swap.

So what was the reward ??? and what sort of moron leaves that amount in cash in a toilet (obviously a very rich moron) ?

Juan, isn't that China money? Chinese don't reward such acts in their culture, is what I suspect.

I know I am cynical but she handed the money to a member of the PR team, not sure that would be my first choice, but I suppose I wouldn't hand it to the Thai police so I guess it was a reasonable choice.
