Thai hotel owner returns wedding ring lost 5 years ago to Norwegian guest
A Thai hotel owner kept her promise and returned a wedding ring to a Norwegian guest who had forgotten it at her hotel in the southern province of Krabi five years ago.
The Thai Facebook account สมศักดิ์ เตบบุตร (Somsak Tebboot) shared the story of his family member, Warunee Khundee, owner of Bliss Resort on Koh Wang Beach in Krabi, on Sunday, January 26. He posted a picture of Warunee and her Norwegian guest, along with a caption that read…
“This guest forgot her diamond wedding ring at the hotel five years ago and has just reclaimed it.”
The post depicted Warunee returning the ring to the Norwegian woman. The woman was seen immediately placing the long-lost ring on her finger. The ring featured a classic floral design with a gold shank.
Warunee later told Channel 7 that the Norwegian woman and 10 family members had stayed at the hotel five years ago. After the family had checked out, the staff cleaned the room and discovered the ring on the floor.
Warunee contacted the guest, who requested that the valuable item be kept safe until she could return. Despite the long five-year wait, Warunee kept her promise and personally returned the ring to its rightful owner on Sunday.
Warunee explained that the Norwegian guest had arrived this time with two friends. She greeted Warunee, saying…
“Do you remember me? I forgot my wedding ring here.”
Warunee said she clearly remembered the guest, particularly because of the sentimental value of the item she had left behind. The guest shared that she was travelling with friends on this occasion because her husband had since passed away.
Warunee told the media she was delighted that the ring had finally been reunited with its owner. She expressed hope that the ring would serve as a lasting reminder of the love the woman shared with her late husband.
In a related story earlier this month, a street cleaner in Pattaya found a wallet while working and returned it to its Thai owner. Similarly, a taxi driver in Bangkok demonstrated his honesty by returning 75,100 baht in cash to his Israeli passenger.
