Well done, sir! Praise for Thai teacher who handed in ATM money

 

Main Thai caption: Well done teacher!

 

Chiang Mai News reported that netizens were full of praise for a Chiang Mai teacher who handed in 10,000 baht that he found at an ATM near McCormick Hospital. 

 

Natthaphat - apparently an art teacher according to his Facebook page - was going to the SCB machine to make a withdrawal himself.

 

He handed in the money to the bank and made a Facebook appeal for the owner to come forward. 

 

He posted that he was concerned that the owner might have thought they had dropped the cash elsewhere. 

 

The media caught up with Natthaphat for a photo opportunity at Dara Withayalai school where he works.

That restores my faith in people.

I'm glad he handed it in to the bank and not the police.

 

 

Just found it, there, sticking out of the ATM? ????

Note to self; don't make ATM withdrawals whilst intoxicated.

Same same not much different 

Inconsiderate and selfish guy. He should have left the money for a taxi driver to find and hand in. We haven’t had an honest taxi driver story for some time.

Smart enough to know they all have cameras-lots of stories of them stealing from fresh corpses after accidents-sadly enough 

Too much of praise for a normal act for honorable people. Yes we know there aren't many in Thailand and even more and more less around the world. Just here in Thailand can read these "wonderland stories" nearly daily as something extraordinary done!

I think it's exceptional, especially when factoring how low the pay is for teachers. I hope he gets a reward. He deserves very good karma.

Not had one of them honest taxi stories for a while finding a bag full of watches and stack of money, about due

A wonderful and honest good deed. The Thai people have honor and take pride in helping others. They serve as examples all farang teachers could learn from.
