PHUKET: A stack of red envelopes filled with cash left behind at a Phuket Town restaurant were returned to their original owner within a few hours with the help of a Facebook post last night.

The red envelopes, known as ‘hóngbao’, are generally distributed to employees, or to children during the Chinese New Year celebrations.

“At about 4pm yesterday, I posted a picture of the envelopes after a good Samaritan dropped them off to our station,” said Maj Natthananwat of Phuket City Police. People started sharing my post to help locate the owner.”

Not sure they would all have been returned had they been brown envelopes instead of red.

If I would have been a receiver the color would not matter and one size fits me.

You need to lighten up, just a bit of banter.

Also, I don't give 2 hoots about Chinese New Year, or Chinese in general.
