Thaiwrath Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 In most countries, an immigration officer would be expected to return lost items to their rightful owners, and I am not sure it would make any news. But, This Is Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulic Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 As hotels report all tourist stays to immigration this would have been a simple task. Glad he got his wallet back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oziex1 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 They're are getting lazy now, couldn't be bothered with the photo. Were the usual 8 cops and other hangers on too busy to bother, or down the pub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
