Thumbs up for Thailand once again – quick thinking airport staff save the day for British tourist

Staff at Suvarnabhumi saved the day for a female British tourist who mistakenly left a bag containing all her valuables and passport in the taxi that had brought her to the airport.
Mrs Suzanne Jones, 57, realized she had left her black shoulder bag in the cab as he was about to check in for her Emirates flight going abroad. It was about ten pm Saturday night and her flight was to leave at 1am, reported Daily News.
The bag contained a British passport, 6,000 baht, 3,000 US Dollars as well as a MacBook Pro and other tech equipment and currency.
She reported the matter and the special operations room staff at the airport swung into action. They checked CCTV and managed to trace the driver who was called Noppaporn Raksakhun on record as living in Saphan Sung.
He was contacted and asked to come back to the airport as quickly as possible while Emirates staff helped out with a special check-in for Mrs Jones.
The driver arrived and the happy tourist counted everything and it was all there.
She thanked everyone for their superb effort as pictures were taken with everyone giving the thumbs up.
And just in time at 1am the relieved and happy tourist was on her way – another satisfied customer of the Land of Smiles!
