Honorable Baht Bus Driver
In these times of increased crime and reports of theft of tourists’ belongings I want to pass along a good news story.
Two nights ago on my way home around 8:30 P.M., I left my Apple phone on the bench of the Baht bus on which I was riding. When I started walking to my room I realized I didn’t have my phone. A few years old but still worth a few hundred dollars, not to mention all the info it contained. The taxi was long gone and I couldn’t go fast enough to catch up nor did I know the bus number.
A security guard helped me by calling my phone number from his phone. The baht bus driver heard my phone, found and answered it. He told the guard he would finish work soon and then bring the phone to me.
A little while later he did just that. He refused a reward only wanting a photo together. I said I would let people know and he was proud of that. I don’t know his name but his bus number is 129. I include the photo here of this honorable man.
