“Thank you wonderful Thais” – honest cabby gets reward from Chinese man

A Chinese man who left his bag in a Bangkok taxi was soon reunited with his passport and money. 

Speaking through an interpreter Mr Shi Wen said at FM 91 that he would like to thank all the wonderful Thai people for helping to get his property back to him. 

The honest cabby this time was Samran Wetchaya who drives green and yellow cab number 1มค (mor khor) 3222 (Bangkok plates).

He said that at 11 am on Monday he had picked up the Chinese man but couldn’t understand a word he was saying and couldn’t work out his destination. So he ultimately refused the fare.

Later he discovered that the passenger had left his black bag that contained 40,259 baht, some Yuan and a passport. 

He contacted a hotline number of FM 91 who did the rest. 

The Chinese man had reported his loss to the Bang Ken police. 

Mr Shi Wen rewarded Samran with 2,000 baht for his honesty.
