6 months ago a friend of mine stayed in Samui for some time. The last night he made a "go home party" with many people enjoying. The next day when he had to return home, he missed his original Rolex watch valued about 350.000 bath and he had to go back home without it. And with the believing that he had lost it during the party.

Now these days he returned to Samui and rented a house at the same place as last time, Blessing Village in Ban Rak. Just after arriving the Thai caretaker-man Mr. Boy came to his house bringing back his missing Rolex. He had found it in the house when he cleaned it after his latest stay.

Of course my friend was overwhelming happy and would like to give him a reward. Mr. Boy refused to take it , so my friend nearly had to force it upon him.

Its good to know that there are some honest people out there.

Nice story! I have had similar experiences but on a smaller scale:)

nice story, did he know it was the real macoy those

Great to see honesty and a welcome change to the norm...Blessing Village have always been extremly good to people staying/visiting there

Why bring a watch like that to Thailand in the first place, truly amazing!

Why not, IMO Thailand is one of the safest places in the world to wear a genuine Rolex, most people don't look twice at it, they think it's a copy...

You wil definitely find trusting thai people in thailand.But just like anywhere,people are people

Some families have more than one!

Did you not know that!

Now, that is even more amazing!

I bet you won't know either then, that some Thais kept their originals in the safe and wore the copies!

Very true.

I once dropped my wallet on the back seat of a taxi after taking out the money to pay the driver. He drove off while I went into my townhouse.

Five minutes later he was back outside sounding his horn having spotted the wallet on the back seat. He didn't even stick around long enough for me to give him a reward, despite the fact that he clearly deserved one.

Very true, and ofcouse if its not gold they automatically make the assumption its cheap.

Your friend got the Pope in the pocket! so lucky.
