An American former police officer visiting Bangkok has made up his mind to retire in Thailand after a taxi driver returned US$9,800 (Bt310,000) he’d inadvertently left in the cab.

PRIME MINISTER Prayut Chan-o-cha told Government House reporters late last year that he would attempt not to get angry with them due to their questions. And it would be his New Year resolution to become a “good guy” for the media.
