PerkinsCuthbert Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Where can I audition for the part of 'dumb, forgetful farang carrying too much cash in public places', and how much can I expect to earn at the photo op, straight face or gurning, with or without wai?

Just because you don't see the reports doesn't mean that it only happens in Thailand. There's numerous reports of the same thing happening in China, UK, Australia, US, Germany, to name a few.

I never said he had to explain it to anybody. But in many countries even carrying around xx amount of cash is legal cause for questioning. And in Thailand where working illegally, doing business illegally, etc. if I were a Thai official I would inquire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not directly, but your implication meant nothing else than should as does your last sentence in this comment otherwise why ask the questions?

The driver didn't run to the radio station, and return it.. It's a publicity stunt that comes around every 2 weeks to show the honesty of thai people..And some people believe it.
