Peter De Balabander boarded the bus in Surat Thani and said he had asked bus staff to load his bags, but after arriving at Khao Sok National Park in Surat Thani and hailing a taxi to his rented bungalow, he realized that he couldn’t find his wallet. Mr Balabander told Banroong Chanbamrrong, his taxi driver, about his predicament. Together, they followed the bus until it reached Baan Hin Dan checkpoint in Takuapa District, Phang Nga. “We stopped the bus at the police control checkpoint in Phang Nga,” said Lt Col Chotipong Ketsarin of Taladyai Police. “Mr Balabander had asked us for help to locate his wallet.” Full story: http://www.phuketgazette.net/phuket-news/Krathom-peddling-foreignertargeting-bus-gang-apprehended/65565?desktopversion#ad-image-1 -- © Copyright Phuket Gazette 2016-09-15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
