Police in Cha-Am are looking for a foreign tourist called John Anderson after an honest hotel employee handed in a wallet that was found on the sidewalk outside. 

 

Chompoonut Mangprasert, 22, a front office staffer at the Talay Hotel and Villa in Cha-Am went to the police after a wallet containing 19,032 baht, three credit cards and ID in the name of Mr Anderson was found early morning on Friday.

 

Police praised her for her honesty and are now trying to find the rightful owner after efforts to do that at the hotel failed.

In fairness .. That is a good thing to do .. Less honest folk may well have copped the cash and binned the rest .. So well done to her .. And if they do find the dude the least he could do is bung her a couple of thou' ..

Boy, his bar girl is gonna be angry in the morning when he can't pay her

That say more about you than him.

I've found honesty - and courtesy - to be the norm, in my dealings with Thai people. I also find most farang are polite to Thai staff in shopping malls, etc. I don't hang around in bars, so i can't speak for anyone's behaviour there.

@Denim  I can never hear or read  a "Mr Anderson"   without remembering  the Matrix !

You should know that this name is a VERY common name out in the world, so do NOT admit that you only relate to Matrix when you hear that surname... People can get ideas ......

 

Andersson is the most common name in Sweden, 250.447 persons are having that familyname.... So a few more than Matrix....

I really don't care if people think of me that way or any other way really, doesn't offend me at all they can think whatever they like ???????? 

 

I used to work with a Robert Anderson....everyone jokingly called him "Mr Anderson"  he wasn't offended either.
