PHUKET — Hotel employees in the Thai island of Phuket returned an envelope filled with approximately 100,000 baht to a French tourist who had inadvertently left it behind in a wardrobe during his checkout process. The tale of the recovered cash was recounted by the owner of OASIS Phuket Airport, who noted that a housekeeper stumbled upon the envelope containing bundles of banknotes within the wardrobe after the tourist had departed.
The French traveler had already embarked on a journey to Koh Samui when the money went missing. Upon learning about the misplaced funds, the accommodation proprietor reached out to the tourist to inform him of the situation. Subsequently, the traveler made the return trip to Phuket to retrieve the lost envelope. Guy Petcharat, the proprietor of the establishment, shared with the Phuket Times that the tourist expressed immense gratitude and joy upon reclaiming his money.
"He would have been utterly stunned if the money had truly been lost," Guy remarked, emphasizing the significant value of the recovered sum. The tourist presented the staff with a 100-baht tip as a gesture of appreciation for their honesty and assistance.
