Popular Post webfact Posted January 6 Popular Post Share Posted January 6 A taxi service operator in Pattaya found a bag containing a substantial amount of money at around 8.30pm yesterday, January 5. The operator, 58 year old Wilailak Pimnoy discovered a clear plastic bag filled with US$1,500 (approximately 54,000 Thai baht) and an additional 10,800 Thai baht. The found money, totalling 64,800 Thai baht, was on the street in front of the Gold Hotel on Pattaya Sai 3 Road. Wilailak immediately contacted the local Pattaya police, and handed over the money to them. She directed the officers to the exact spot where she had found the bag. During her conversation with the police, Wilailak explained that while she was waiting for customers, she noticed the bag on the road. After picking it up and realising it contained money, she quickly notified the police to help locate the owner, reported KhaoSod. Wilailak expressed her worries that the tourist who lost the money might face difficulties in paying for accommodation and transportation costs. The Pattaya police are now holding the found cash as evidence while they attempt to locate its rightful owner. by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of KhaoSod Full story: The Thaiger 2024-01-06 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Peterphuket Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Yes, it still happens in LOS. I remember, had promised someone a monthly transfer to her account but made the mistake to a wrong account number, which was also in my list. After 6 months, I found out about the mistake and requested the person who received it ubusily to refund it as soon as possible, he was slightly offended, did not have an internet account, so was not aware of the amounts received, but stated as a Buddhist being he would never appropriate it. So you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbi1 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Someone must have really bad vision to leave a CLEAR plastic bag full of cash on the side of the street. Probably thought it was full of rubbish and left it on the side of the street for the garbage truck people to come and pick it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
