rooster59 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Thai honesty: All hugs and wais as Chinese doctor gets his money and passports back Image: Ruk Siam News A Chinese orthopedic specialist who left his cash and family passports at a Pattaya scenic spot was reunited with his valuables just after midnight this morning. Li Dapeng, 40, arrived at the Pattaya Police Station and promptly hugged tourist police chief Lt Col Piyapong Ensarn and wai-ed other officers. He never thought he'd see his bag again and was full of praise for the honest member of the Thai public who handed it in and the police who managed to get in contact with him. The bag contained 42,000 baht in Yuan and four passports. Dr Li left it while taking souvenir snapshots and only realized it was missing as he prepared to head back to Bangkok for a flight back to China today. Pictures were taken with the cops from both the tourist and immigration police who worked together to ensure yet another happy outcome for a forgetful tourist. The good Samaritan who handed the bag in was not named on this occasion in the Ruk Siam News story.

grumbleweed Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Credit where credit's due: he didn't have to hand it in. I doubt everyone on this forum would've done the same Although I wish the headline writers would balance their references and use the term "Thai dishonesty" where appropriate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
