The manager of the Grand Palazzo Hotel alerted Pattaya Tourist Police that Mr Tuokkola had sought help from the hotel as his luggage and passport were missing.

arithai12 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Good news all around for Pattaya officials in helping Mr Tuokkola get his luggage back and get to the airport. They basically offered him a free bus ride to the airport. The luggage had been recovered independently, minus the cash. Doesn't strike me as a particularly helpful assistance. Cue a taxi-returns-lost-money story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saminoz Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I can relate (although slightly off topic). I was leaving Thailand at Don Mueang on Tuesday eveing to head back to Yangon for work. It was very, very smooth at the airport (Lion Air) but when I got to the immigration counter, the Immigration Offcier pointed out that my departure card was missing! Horror! However, we was wonderful and simply attached a blank one and told me to fill it before I went to get my re-entry permit. In the re-entry permit office, the staff were very freindly and the on-duyt seniot officer sat with me and chatted while they prcessed my permit. All in all a very good experience and not what I would expect from DMK. I am the first to point out the issues normally but here, credit where credit is due.
