What will you do when you found a wallet full of cash on the floor? Well, For a homeless man from Thailand, it seemed that the only right thing to do was to return the wallet back to its owner along with cash, even if he really needs it.
Woralop who was 45 years old at the time stumbled upon a businessman and accidentally saw his wallet dropped on the floor.
When he picked it up, he was beyond surprised. The wallet was full of cash with a total of 20,000 baht (USD 577) or 30,000 pesos. He had never seen such amount of cash in his life, let alone holding it in his hand.

Being homeless for as long as he could remember, Woralop could just act as if nothing happened and use up the money.
