A Bangkok cab driver went out of his way to bring THB529,000 back to an Australian man who left the money in his taxi Friday.
The driver, Wimon Tripat, 62, graciously gave the large sum back to the Australian, David Gorge Corinson, 59, at the Suvarnabhumi Airport Police Station Friday night.
The Australian took Wimon’s cab from Suvarnabhumi to Mo Chit Bus Terminal earlier that day, according to The Nation.
The police contacted Wimon after Corinson’s ride to ask if he found money in his car, when the driver checked the car, the money was unearthed under the front passenger seat in an envelope.
“I was shocked,” Wimon told Morning News. “The money is not mine, so I’d better return it. I don’t think much about it. I’m just happy that the owner got his money back.”
The Aussie said he was carrying the large sum of money to give to his family in Thailand.
He profusely thanked the honest cabbie and gave him THB5,000 cash as a reward.
