The tourist, Mr. Jahirul Islam Munshi, was overjoyed upon having his wallet returned by a Thai taxi driver, Mr. Pornsak Phunee, on Monday, August 21st. Mr. Pornsak told Thai media that he was informed by another passenger of a wallet left in the rear seat of his taxi on Saturday, August 19th.

soi3eddie Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 That's some size wallet the Bangladeshi had! I struggle to get 30,000 Baht in my wallet let alone 373,000 Baht. Even if in $100 bills, that would still be over 300 notes. Just can't see how that would fit in a "wallet". Must have been some kind of bag. Still, nice of the next passenger and cabbie to return it. Definitely deserves recognition and a reward to both for their honesty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand - the land of make believe. Tourists carry that much money in cash. Especially if they are not supposed to bring it out of the originating country. I have checked in guests with bagfuls of cash - especially tourists from the Middle East, China, and India/Pakistan etc. Edited August 23, 2023 by Tropicalevo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reginald Prewster Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 10% is common in Germany if you find money and return it... But he called him brother, Hence a Thank you, and a hug was enough and the bangla will be now happy at the black jack table in Pattaya going for an "all in" ...
