Popular Post webfact Posted October 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 25, 2022 Daily News Thai Caption: Upstanding citizen Daily News reported on another case that drew praise for an upstanding citizen. It was no surprise that it was another Bangkok cabby. Guy Jumsak, 46, had given a lift to Patcharee Thanwarakit from Banglamphu to the southern bus terminal. But the lady was in a hurry to return home to Prajuap Khirikhan and forgot her shoulder bag in the cab. Guy said that he was 2 kilometers away when he glanced back and saw a bag on the floor. Picture: Daily News On discovering that it contained 60,000 baht in cash he hunted for ID but there was none. So he called FM91 to report his find and then took the money to their HQ in Pahonyothin. The passenger too had reported her loss to the same station and the owner and her property were soon verified and reunited. Picture: Daily News Patcharee praised Guy who had turned her tears to a feeling of admiration for his honesty. Guy said he would never contemplate taking anything that wasn't his. He'd once handed in 6,000 baht to the Bang Sao Thong police but that was the extent of his experience. He has been a cabby for 15-16 years and despite poor health, a recent case of Covid, and general life difficulties, he said it was always best just to hand in anything one found. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2022-10-25 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Maybe you're confused about the Taxi driver being called "Guy"? There are only two people involved here; the taxi driver (Guy) and Patcharee, the lady who left the money in his car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
