By The Nation

 

 

The driver of a Bangkok-Pattaya passenger van returned a wallet with Bt20,000 cash to a South Korean tourist on Wednesday night after he found it in the van.

 

The tourist, Koo Seungwan, 32, filed a complaint with the Pattaya Police station that he dropped his wallet on the passenger van that took him from Bangkok to the front of Soi Jom Thien 12.

 

 

The tourist said the wallet contained cash in various currencies worth Bt20,000, as well as his credit cards.

 

Later, the police station was informed by the JS100 traffic radio show that the driver of the van, Wanit Phukaengduan, 49, had called the show to report that he had found the wallet.

 

Wanit said he would return to Pattaya to hand back the wallet within two hours.

 

Koo thanked the driver for returning the wallet.

Yet again, why all the fuss, and Police loitering around for a photo shoot etc etc, just because a driver of public transport has fulfilled his duty? In most countries such behaviour would be the norm.

Positive stories reflecting the best of human nature are good and offset all the negative reporting we get nowadays.

I wonder if Koo has a husband called Bill ...

It seems lots of tourists are careless about their values 

I am bored with this kind of news 

Ok, that's the smog in chaing Mai forgotten about ????????

Meanwhile police look on as Pattaya taxi drivers continue to ignore the law of the land.

Ah. perhaps that explains why they weren't in the picture for the arrest of the drug addict thief who stole the bike from a female M/C taxi driver.

Amazing what a bit of haze in Chiang Mai can bring about.
