for the good of other farangs we must publicly execute him.

 

i'll do it.

May I assist you, please? I'd suggest to stone him and leave him in front of the supermarket for three days that the locals can do the rest. 

 

And some locals will beat the shi_e out of him when they see him, or by accident hit the wrong guy. But you've got the right to execute him, of course — a good day in the Land of lost and hidden banknotes. 

 

Looked like a 1,000 baht bill and the "skinny guy" seems to be starving...

 

What's really annoying is this: " Thai posters rounded on the man for not telling the woman about her fallen money with many saying this was typical. 

 

I had a very similar experience at the local Big-C when shopping last week. A Thai woman had lost a 500 baht bill, I immediately told her that and pointed at the bill. Is that also "considered typical?"

 

Let's pray for him or not. Hallelujah!

I wonder if this would even be mentioned if he had tapped her on the shoulder and given it to her,

NO !

The bad stuff is more sensational, people always want and thrive on the negative. ☹️

Yeah, right! ????

Of course. He obviously wasn't a taxi driver.

Many foreigners here are likely in the same boat. Poor, unemployed, and fishing for coins to survive.

And after a witch hunt on certain Social Media, the foreigners will all be generalized, and many people believe that we all are nothing else than a pack of thieves.

He's probably a BM with loads of money, yeah right

[JSixpack]

One of those big-spending quality residents/tourists. Why oh why isn't Thailand doing more to attract such and wants real proof of income? So baffling.

Man, this guy is totally busted.  And he was pretty darn blatant about it, making sure the woman didn't see that she had dropped her money by stepping on it.  What a scumbag.  Wonder if he's a poster on TV?

Oh, in the reverse case the thread would be full of claims of "Thainess" from our bigots and xenophobes. Hee hee!

That only works when spoon-feeding 'honest cabbies' in the other direction.

A benefit to wearing size 14 shoes in Thailand has finally been found.

The only reason it's even here as news is because such behavior is so unusual and unlikely to happen with the majority of people, in my opinion.

[bristolgeoff]

the times I have dropped money in the  st or shop.it happens I,am sure someone behind me has picked it up quick as a flash.i,am upset when I find out but I don,t expect to have it handed back.i found 600 baht in a burger king once  and the place was empty  and only staff were there.no one bothered to ask about.so the times I drop 500 baht out of my pocket so be it.

[Dmaxdan]

How is that people don't realize the CCTV is pretty much everywhere now, especially shops and supermarkets. 

 

Big brother is watching you where ever you go and what ever you do. 

[Gecko123]

Suddenly Pattaya has a strict code of ethics?

 

Didn't see that one coming.

A thief is a thief. Skin color or nationality has nothing to do with it. But of course here, color is everything.

NO !!!! Thai posters, this is not typical !!!!!

In no way do I condone the low life act he did, but please stop tarring us all with the same brush, ????

It’s not so nice when it’s someone doing it to us is it? Hopefully some will take note but I doubt it 

[sammieuk1]

Piano wire and a 3 leg stool required as Thais get outraged it wasn't one of them for a change????

You’re on the home of xenophobia right here 

[lemonjelly]

Pattaya expats should collar the scum, bundle him on to a pick up and drive him to the cop shop, show the Thai that we don’t want his sort here.

You're right of course.  This level of dishonesty is not normal, not among Thai or expats.  The fact that this guy is a farang doesn't mean it will be front-page news, but certainly warrants some coverage because farangs are expected to "do the right thing" in most circumstances.  Perhaps that stereotype has had its day.

"tapping" an unknown woman on the shoulder, or any other part of her body, would probably end up in an arrest and big fines.

Here we go Honest taxi driver takes old foreigner back to the Supermarket

to return money he found to return to its owner

Well- at the end of the day- she'll make more than that 1K (looks like). Dude thought he was clever-too funny.

Totally right, but that goes for every news. 

 

But this shows clearly that white pensioners are not the angels many on this board claim they are. The moment a Thai does something bad they jump on it like a pack of dogs and now I don't see that behaviour. I do see some remarks calling the guy bad but just imagine if it was a Thai stealing from a pensioner and the response here.

Give over, it isn't Saudi Arabia.

He appears as if he has been here long enough to use a Thai phrase to get her attention.

It is the news? Post on the Facebook?

It is “news” on the thaivisa. Who decide that?

I don’t see it on the Thai news. Only have it here and Facebook. Maybe

Read the comment on the Facebook, how many people really say it is “typical”?

 

It is a funny video. Because he the idiot. Look funny.
