100,000 baht returned to tourist

The Tourist Authority of Thailand has awarded a Thai girl with a certificate of commendation and brought a story out for the general public to show appreciation to the 18-year old resident of Ko Samui, who after having found a misplaced wallet, return it to its owner.

Much to his relief, 33-year old Raffet Hariokru from Turkey found his wallet returned with his three credit cards, and more importantly, 100,000 baht in cash still intact.

Thirdarat Ratsamee, employed at the Tops Supermarket, found the wallet as her shift came to a close. With the aid of her boss, she managed to track Mr. Hariokru to his hotel in the Lamai district.

The wallet changed hands the next morning at the police station, and the grateful tourist gave the honest teenager 3000 baht as a reward.
