The wallet contained Thai and US dollar banknotes worth more than 100,000 baht.
He kept the items at his office at Ao Maya and reported the find to park chief Sarayut Tantian.

The smiling Mr Karamari picked up his belongings from Mr Wuthichai at his office on Wednesday, saying he was very glad to have his money back.
