A taxi driver returned a vintage, Italian-made violin to its owner who forgot to take the 18-million-baht (US$ 514,0000) instrument with him when he exited his cab on Wednesday night.

Police have revealed that Myanmar violinist Nyein Chan Oo, who went missing since the night of August 2, is in hospital. He had been admitted with bruised arms and severe disorientation – which is believed to have been caused by his lung medication.
