Yes, there are honest Thai people, there really are.

Kudos to the teachers from Chiang Rai. They do their country proud.

As far as I can tell most Thai are very honest, but then again, I live in Chiang Rai where this is normal:)

Well done to the teachers. It's a commendable thing to do - but do we really need all the police standing around with the money laid out like evidence in a photo shoot?

Hey guys, I was in Phuket and lost my wallet. It had 300,000 baht and a few rare, gold coins inside. Anyone find it?

come on, someone was going to say this....too soon??

5th one not amused cause suddenly stuck on night shift

I understand the news factor, because 99.9% of Thais would have kept the money for sure.

There is no night shift for RTP. Their day ends at 6pm; their week on Thursday evening.

Why are there so many people in the photo?

Were they all in the toilet at the same time the wallet was found?

They certainly would make good wives...

Look at all the Thais that showed up for this photo opp. With all the money displayed in typical Thai fashion. Showing for all times that money is everything to Thais.

police will take good care

they all will be adopted soon in their own wallets

I don't understand why this is news.

I'll take the one in purple, you can have the one in pink.

You really can't stop bashing. Have a good day.

Is your comment supposed to be funny ?

Yea, bashing. I hope no one was in need of police assistance while they were taking pics and getting credit for something that had nothing to do with them.

Enjoy yourself.
