A happy tourist has his missing bag returned at Phuket airport last night

Phuket Tourist Has Expensive Items Returned by Honest Limo Driver

Tuesday, November 24, 2015
PHUKET: A British tourist who arrived on Phuket last night left his most expensive items and passport in a limo when he was dropped in Patong.

However, by the time that Russell John France, 52, arrived back at the airport to see if the limo could be traced, his belongings had been returned to the Navy security office.

Accompanied by Tourist Police, Mr France checked at the taxi counter and then at the Tourist Assistance Centre, where he was reunited with the bag containing his passport, a dive camera and a tablet.

Driver Sukkhum Chantharacha discovered the bag in his vehicle after Mr France alighted.

Hotels, restaurants, bars , shops etc. store and return forgotten goods every day. Wonder why it is a news story, when a taxi driver does the same.

I am always laughing about these 'photo safaris'.
Why not just a photo of the tourist and the limo driver?

Now surrounded by 6 police/army people. Is that giving them a kick? Is it a job emolument? "See me, look at me".

Something has gone right, Kurt. It's a good reason to be happy, and to get out the camera.
