.I've been to Thailand around 6 or 7 times, great people, i left my fat wallet in a launderette by accident, i left it on top of the washing machine, many Thai's were there waiting for their clothes to finish washing, i suddenly realized that i left my wallet after around 10 minutes, i ran back to the launderette, and thinking on the way, "It's gone." to my surprise, it was still their on top of the washing machine in plain view! I was shocked, did anyone notice it was there?
To this day, I'm still misidentified to why no one took it. Must be that even though a lot of Thai people are poor, they put their dignity first. Thumbs up for Thia people, i know one thing, if in the UK, (I'm from the UK) it would have gone long ago! Not saying all UK citizens are thieves, but i have lived there half my life and know UK people, most will have stole it. I have to say one word of warning about your stuff being stolen in Thailand, the Ladyboys pick-pocket, i had this done to me a couple of times, but i had a zip pocket, they found this trouble for them, and gave up. P.S, I didn't go off to have a good time with them, they just came up to me in the street to chat me, but really to pick-pocket, be very careful of them, they're real professional at it!
