“Taxi driver returns 18-million-baht violin”
A taxi driver returned a 200-year-old violin worth 18 million baht to its owner who left it in a cab on Wednesday night.
Chinese violinist Xue Wei asked for help from Bangkok’s Thong Lor police station after realising that he left the violin in the taxi.
He had brought his violin for a musical performance at a restaurant in Sukhumvit Soi 26 on Wednesday.
On his way back from the restaurant at about 10 pm, he took a taxi, but he forgot to bring the violin with him when arriving at his home in Sukhumvit Soi 31.
The taxi driver, Uthen Dankhunthod, took the violin to Thong Lor police station to be returned to the owner.
Uthen said the absent-minded violinist did not forget to offer him a reward.
