Despite his young age, a big-hearted primary school boy saves coins to buy a gold ring for his mother, diligently collecting enough to fill a small safe.

 

A TikTok user with the account name zumo4422 recently posted an inspiring video of a young boy carrying coins he had saved to buy a gold ring for his mother. The collected coins were all personally saved by the little boy. The shop where the boy planned to buy the gold ring was called Phutthasilp Goldsmith, located within the Thai Complex in Mueang Mahasarakham, Mahasarakham province.

 

The post’s caption states: “A primary school boy saved money in a small safe to buy gold for his mother. He saw on TikTok that this shop accepts coins, so he brought his mother along. #PhutthasilpGoldsmithThaiComplex”

 

In the video, the boy opens his small safe, which is packed with carefully bagged coins for his mother’s gold ring. He tells his mother to choose a ring herself before putting the gold ring on her finger.

Let's say the ring was half a baht of gold = Bht 15000 at today's price. That's 1500 'chores' @ Bht 10 a throw = 30 chores a week= 4 EVERY day. Possible?

Makes a good Tik Tok movie though.

yes ....  unless friends or relatives help him out .....  they didn't delve into how it was obtained.  But well done by the little boy ...  he loves his mum.   haha
