While sitting doing email and blogging I couldn’t help but overheard an American tourist who was explaining to the waiter how he had ‘lost’ his bag in the Café yesterday. He appeared to be a guest in the Hotel part of Triple NNN.
His prescription medications were in the bag, as were his passport and other valuable documents related to his work and life in general. His story was that he had been in the Café yesterday with a Thai lady friend who he had taken pity on when she had approached him to help her.
It sounded like he had stupidly talked to the girl, expecting that if he helped her she would return the favor by being very friendly with him. After some time she was ready to go home or somewhere else and he called a cab for her. When he returned to the Café his bag was gone.
He offered the waiter a reward if his bag could be found. He figured that the waiter would have a better chance of scouring the local town and community to get information about it and get it back.
Apparently it worked, he returned the following day and the bag had been returned, with the prescriptive medicines and documents, but minus the money. Ouch.
