alexlm Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 If she can afford to put 170kTHB in a cab and forget it, then she is very rich or very stupid. I hope she gave at least 20k minimum to the honest cab driver. If I was a cab driver getting 50 bahts an hour and finding 170k... well... she would never have seen me.

In Thailand it doesn't work quite the same. If it's been serviced, polished etc to look like new then it won't be much below catalogue price just the same as cars and pick ups. Edit. This is a diamond 'encrusted' rolex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You took the words right out of my mouth. Why would she have a 170K Rolex in her bag and not on her wrist - Do most people carry that sort of thing around in a handbag? This all stinks of some sort of PR Stunt by the radio station at best, and a fast one pulled by the idiots at TAT at the worst. Complete and utter fabricated incident and story.

farcanell Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 6 hours ago, webfact said: On the way she was rummaging through her bag and noticed her Rolex was missing and wondered if she had dropped it somewhere. She called her son who said he couldn't find it at home in the condo. Her twin son in Songkhla later suggested calling FM 91 radio station. In the meantime Phuwadon Jindapaneekun, the driver of orange and white cab ทห (Thor Hor) 7785 with Bangkok plates, had gone to fill up with gas at Sathorn Soi 1. He noticed the watch on the back seat and handed it in to the radio station. I don’t know... maybe I’ve become jaded. i firmly believe that the watch had been tracked down and found to be in the possession of the driver, who then “agreed” to hand it over in a PR stunt, vs go to prison... much like a confession and a wai, will get a thai of the hook in many instances.

Tatsujin Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Must be the 20th-25th of the month, time for another honest cabbie story. If a proper diamond-encrusted Rolex costs 170k, I’ll have 5 please, can make a good profit on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchilli Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 This is just getting to the point of being ludicrous now they can't even be bothered to calculate the real cost of a rolex, let alone encrusted with diamonds might bluff a few locals but the rest of the us live in the real world!!

Oziex1 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 If wealthy Thai's were careless enough to leave their valuables laying around would they want all the publicity.
