Photo: Eakkapop ThongtubPHUKET: -- A 19-year-old security guard has been rewarded for handing in a pouch containing B400,000 cash that he found on top of a urinal stall in the men’s room at the Tesco Lotus in Samkong on his first day of work at the shopping centre.The guard, Nattapong Rittidech, was even rewarded with B3,000 for his honesty.Nattapong had been working as a security guard for U.B.N. Phuket Andaman Co for only one month before he was posted at Tesco Samkong on Monday (Nov 30).“That evening I went to the toilet and there was one teenager and a middle-aged man in the men’s room,” he said.“A middle-aged man was standing next to me. He placed a black pouch on the shelf above the urinal before doing his business then walking out without his pouch.“I finished my business and ran after him, but he was already gone, so I handed it in at the information desk. I never opened it or checked what was inside.”Two hours later, the owner of the pouch, Somkiet Jaturabandit, returned to the centre and asked about the hefty pouch he left in the men’s room.“I checked and the cash, ID cards and other documents were all still inside,” Mr Somkiet said.Full story: http://www.thephuketnews.com/tesco-security-guard-19-hands-in-b400k-found-in-toilet-55235.php-- Phuket News 2015-12-02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pattaya28 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 If it was seen a pouch was left, why wait and run after him ? Why not say there and then you left your pouch ? And if you leave a pouch in front of you, how can you not see it ? let alone remember it was there ? especially with such a large sum of money in it ? and why would you need to carry with you such a large sum ? So many questions ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had to finish his business do his trousers up and put his smart uniform straight before leaving the men's room...... hope he washed his hands first too.

You're forgetting he had to check his appearance in the mirror first.... seriously though, I don't see anything wrong with this story, things like this can happen and happen very quickly as in this case.

emilymat Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 I have no doubts about the young lad's honesty etc. What I can't get my head around is how anyone can wander about with 400,000 baht and simply 'forget it'. This seems to happen in taxi's quite often but in the bog!!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fekman Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 A weak reward in my opinion. Story says he turned it in without ever looking inside. Had he looked inside, the headline would be "Man loses 400k baht in toilet, offers reward" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4UCorsair Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) the young guard is still a greenhorn give him a few months he will soon learn. My thought was that a young guy, not earning much, would be faced with a real dilemna, nick it, not knowing the contents (and the worth could be zero) and face the potential bad karma, or hand it in, and hope for the good karma. You made the right choice young fella. Edited December 2, 2015 by F4UCorsair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJIC Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Well this is not the first time we have heard a similar story of Thai honesty, if I recall correctly the last reports,was about two separate stories of Taxi Drivers who found cash in their cabs and returned it to the rightful owner! and congratulations to them for extreme honesty.
