A roast pork vendor who found 206,000 baht near the Nongyai railroad
tracks returned the money to its rightful owner with the help of Chonburi
police and Sophon Cable TV.
Thaweesak Phanwilai, 43, said he found the satchel containing 90,000 baht
and a check for 106,000 baht on his way home. He and his wife contacted
Sophon Cable to put out an alert to the bag’s owner.
Chonburi Station commander Maj. Gen. Khatcha Thatsart sent officers from
Pattaya and Banglamung to find the owner, Ruangsak Deebunchai, the
50-year-old owner of the Ruangkaset rice shop on Naklua Soi 13.
A grateful Ruangsak arrived at the television station to find all the money
he lost and, in gratitude, gave cash to Thaweesak’s daughter.
The pork vendor said he wasn’t seeking a reward for his deed. He and his
family worried about the stress Ruangsak must have felt in losing that much
money.
Khatcha congratulated Thaweesak’s honesty, noting it was harder for police
to find a good person than a bad one.
