An honest baht bus driver saved a Russian couple’s holiday when he returned 60,000 baht left in his taxi.
Surachoke Sapchareon, 49, found a bag containing 9,000 baht, $900, 2,000 rubles, identification cards and other documents Oct. 25. He brought it to Pattaya Police Station so it could be returned to owners Daria Labkovskaya and Mikhail Azovskii.
The couple had traveled from the Pattaya Bus Station to Central Festival and he found the bag while checking the passenger area once they left.
He said he never wanted to keep it and also wanted to return it to enhance the reputation of Pattaya’s tourist sector.
The couple was delighted to get their money back. They said they were on their first trip to Pattaya and they never expected to see the bag again.
They thanked the driver and gave him a 10 percent reward of 6,000 baht.
