Thai woman earns 30,000 baht for reuniting man with monkey doll
A Thai man in the northern province of Chiang Rai offered 30,000 baht in cash to a Thai woman who found and returned his missing monkey doll, which held great sentimental value for him.
The man took to social media to seek help from Thai netizens after losing his beloved monkey doll. He shared a picture of the doll with a caption that read…
“This brown monkey doll, as seen in the picture, is missing. I lost it in the car park of Yang Sod bar. Anyone who finds it can claim a 30,000-baht reward from me. #SentimentalValue”
He also included his contact information in the post and provided further details in the comments section, stating that he lost the doll at about 1am on February 16.
Some netizens accused the man of fabricating the story about the missing doll and pretending to offer a large reward to gain attention. They argued that the doll appeared to be an ordinary toy without any unique qualities or features.
However, the man explained that the doll was significant to him because it had been a gift from his mother when he was four years old and he had grown up with it.
In the latest update on his Facebook account, the man shared that a Thai woman, who wished to remain anonymous, returned the monkey doll to him yesterday, February 17. She found it at a condominium in the province and contacted him after seeing his post on social media.
The man confirmed that h indeed gave the woman the 30,000-baht reward and expressed his gratitude to netizens and news outlets for helping to spread his story, which ultimately led to the recovery of his cherished doll.
In a similar story from January, another Thai woman reunited a lost item with its rightful owner. A hotel owner in the southern province of Krabi returned a wedding ring to a Norwegian guest who forgot it at her hotel five years ago while travelling to the province with her husband.
The hotel owner hoped the wedding ring would serve as a reminder of the love the foreigner shared with her husband, who had since passed away.
