Thread: Amputee Taxi driver returns $6,500

Thais:





Great to live among such an honest, moral populace.

3 nights ago I got my bungalow broken into and lost approx $2600 AUD.

Seems to be that A dodgy farang done the dirty.

Fok, I wish that Tuk Tuk driver was around.

Not unusual at all. And often for far larger amounts, in the range of 1/2 million baht.

They truly are such honest, beautiful people.

3 cheers for Thailand!

jeesus has the Chairman finally lost it. .

^ Troll.

Preeda Yunbuaban, 48, picked up Ahmed Abdulmalek, a Bahraini businessman, his wife and one-year-old daughter from Soi Sukhumvit 11 at about 11pm on Sunday to take them to the Patpong area.
A Bangkok taxi driver has returned cash and valuables worth about 200,000 baht left in his cab by three foreign passengers.

Mr Preeda then took another passenger to Suvarnabhumi airport.

As he was about to leave the airport, he spotted a sports bag on the back seat. He thought it belonged to the airport passenger and ran after her, but she said it did not belong to her.

The Chaiyaphum native then searched for clues to the owner. Inside the bag, he found 25,320 baht, US$2,000 and 110 Bahrain dinars in notes, seven credit cards, three passports, a video camera and a digital camera.

"I also found an All Seasons Hotel keycard, so I telephoned the hotel and the staff confirmed that the three were guests," Mr Preeda said.

"I left a message for them and called Sor Wor Por 91 traffic radio to help coordinate the return of their belongings."

Bangkok Post : Taxi driver returns lost cash

Beautiful.

A taxi driver Friday returned Bt500,000 to a Japanese businessman who had left it in the back of his cab.

The passenger forgot his bag containing US dollars, Japanese yen and Vietnamese dong, a mobile phone and passport.

Driver Rung Wantumma, 34, had FM 91 Traffic Radio announce the discovery.

The Nation

So beautiful, so honest, so moral... so Thai.

Who leaves that sort of money in a taxi anyway? If so they deserve to lose it.

The driver should keep it, call it a stupidity tax.

Not a problem mate, just front up to the bank and a replacement is a hundred Baht.

Just lost mine and got a new one in 35 seconds.

My missus had her credit card stolen, but I never reported it to the police because whoever stole it was spending less than her.
