Honest Thai lady makes tourists day!

BANGKOK:-- A Thai cleaning lady made a Taiwanese tourist's day when she returned more than 60,000 baht she found in the toilets at the Mor Chit 2 bus terminal.

The money - 64,720 in total along with other foreign currency - plus a Samsung tablet, a passport and other documents was in a bag found by sixty year old Saiphin Saenkham as she cleaned the gents opposite the terminal entrance on Wednesday morning, reports Daily News.

Some time later Chen Ching Lin, who had left the terminal by taxi not realising he did not have the bag, was reunited with his possessions that the honest lady had kept safe for him.

Souvenir pictures were taken with the beaming Taiwanese who rewarded Saiphin with an unspecified amount for her kind and honest actions.

Running out of taxi- drivers?

[CloudStrife]

It would take her many years to see that kind of cash (not to mention how much tablets and especially passport could potentially be worth).

Good on you lady!

[macksview]

good on her, a battler getting a result.

anyone who cleans toilets at that location deserves any luck she gets.

[gandalf12]

I dont see anything about the person giving her a reward or did I miss something? It shows she is a good person. Most Thai's are nice people it is just the few who are scum. Good that the owner gave her a reward she deserved it.

Yep, not one of those gangsters, you like to defend with "happy Thailand is not a nanny-state", "it happens not only in Thailand" or "if you don't like it, go home"!

Right?!

[ddavidovsky]

I believe there's a higher proportion of really nice people in Thailand than pretty much any other country.

[Kabula]

Very heart warming.

Good news most everyone craves these days.

[SOTIRIOS]

Despite this nice story, the usual sarcastic posters have not even been able to write a positive comment.

Maybe because we see through the sand-in-your-eyes-effect of these feelgood- stories!

She deserved a reward, not many people in any country would have given the items back

Yes he gave her an unspecified amount--------- Good guy to good lady

[Lupatria]

Happy news for me. After all these years I finally get to know the third honest Thai lady.

[wvavin]

Wishing this honest grandmother a good and blissful life.

[inventorinthailand]

Running out of taxi- drivers?

Yes my thought as well. Most likely staged by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to counter balance the bad publicity received from Hua Hin.

[Khon Kaen Dave]

yes,there are some good and honest people about.Its only a pity that we dont hear more about them.

[shann]

Wow what a good lady good news for a change

[dageurreotype]

Good on you lady!

Condescending post. Most Thais I know would do the same, without the photo op.

LOL. Interesting the subjects are often referred to as 'grandmothers' but never see 'Grandfather Returns Lost Wallet'. Dinosaurs.

[Lamkyong]

Get a life Mary. Are you a gender bender? Posters only vent their hatred to the Thais involved in endless stream of scamming, group bashing and corruption news. Well done to cleaning lady. Buddha loves you.

[Brer Fox]

A lovely gesture from a lovely lady and nice to see she was rewarded. I expect this is the sweetener for the Hua Hin fracas.

[taony]

This makes up for the songran video of the kid going mixed martial arts death match on the 60 year old woman.

You will find that a majority of the worlds population are nice people. Sadly its always the nasty bastards that make the news.
