An honest Pattaya motorcycle taxi rider, Ms. Nonglak Prakobsap, 46, returned a forgotten wallet with cash worth 13,700 baht and 16 US Dollars to an American tourist at 4 AM this morning, April 26th.

 

Ms. Nonglak, who operates a taxi service in Soi Six, gave the black wallet to Pattaya Police after discovering it on the ground of an alley nearby.

 

She said she had driven an intoxicated foreign tourist to his hotel in South Pattaya from this spot earlier in the evening and believed that it belonged to him after seeing his picture in the wallet. She also mentioned that the man claimed he did not have money when he was dropped off, but she willingly let him go without payment.

Is that her in the Op photo?

Hasn't returned it to the American yet, presumably doesn't have social media

To be frank, never mind the nationality in this case because many others in his place, and it doesn't matter from which country, wouldn't have returned the money.

There we go, I said we would get one of these stories when a WIN guy tried to stab two tourists near soi 6, after doubling the fare!

I left a credit card in a machine and the Thai guy that came after me chased me down and gave it back. But hey, lets hear what the comedians have to say about this one.

even knowing your story you do have to admit the timing on these stories always seems suspect.

police called my brother in law a few hours later asking if he knew a farang. told the woman who found my wallet to empty the money keep it and they sent wallet back grabman.

Hard to believe!  It's usually grounds for a knifing or at least a good gang-kicking.

His ship not sailed yet maybe. USS Nimitis. He was part of a recent military visit in the area. Did he jump ship ? I wonder if a military ID spurned this lady to honesty.

Fortunately, we may rely upon our shrewdest members always to predict such and then chortle afterwards. After all, a positive story is bound to come along eventually.

here is something that says alot about me. I would, generally speaking, return the cash. That said, if a drunk tried me on by telling me they didn't  have the money to pay for the ride and left a wallet behind with 23k in it. they could kiss the cash goodbye.
