At 1 pm on the 6th of September the head of a Chinese tour company made a report to the tourist police of a large some of money that had gone missing from a tour bus that they had hired.
Tourist police took details of the incident and instigated enquiries to try to find the missing 200,000 Baht that had reportedly been left in a back pack on the bus whilst the tour guide took a party of 41 Chinese tourists on a trip to the islands from Bali Hai pier and then returned them back to their hotel when he found that the money was gone. The police inspected the vehicle and could find no trace of the missing money. They interviewed the bus driver and staff involved but all to no avail.
The police are well aware that the loss would certainly be covered by insurance and a police report would be needed before a claim could be filed with the insurance company. A report was duly taken into evidence and the tour guide said that was fine and went on his merry way to take care of the next tour group.
