webfact Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Pattaya taxi driver returns wallet to Chinese tourist By The Nation video screenshot A taxi driver contacted Pattaya police to return a wallet containing Bt28,300 in cash and a diamond ring to a Chinese tourist on Sunday night. Chen Mingxin, 45, was so delighted to get back his wallet, credit cards and other belongings that he gave the driver a Bt2,000 reward in gratitude. The driver, Jumpol Sahaya, 60, went to Pattaya police station at 11pm and told them that a Chinese tourist had left his wallet on the back seat of his taxi. Jumpol said he had taken the man to an entertainment venue in North Pattaya road. Later, he picked up two foreign women in Beach Road and when they arrived in South Pattaya, the women handed over the wallet, saying they had found it on the back seat. Police quickly located the Chinese man and duly handed back his wallet … and reward.

chopin2 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Having read similar stories almost on a daily basis the past year, one can conclude: 1. people bring extreme amount of money and valuables on taxis. 2. people are extremely careless and forgetful. 3. taxi drivers are extremely honest. 4. the people involved appear to be extremely willing to tell the stories in media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never travel by taxi in Bangkok or Pattaya without my standard size wallet with 500,000 baht in it, cause I know that I can always rely on the honesty of Thailand's taxi drivers, should I leave it in their taxi. ?
