April 9. Bangkok -> Ko Pha Ngan. Left the cities for the beaches. A few hours into the trip one of the people who work for the bus got caught stealing money from a ladies bag. We remained calm knowing all our valuables were on our person. After arriving at the transfer point the thief took off running. When other people started to realize they too lost money the bus driver claimed that he didn't know the guy and wouldn't call the police. Apparently they were all in on it. Some bystanders went looking for the guy and found him hiding. They took him down and pinned him until the police showed up. In the end everyone got their money back. To much excitement after an all night bus ride.
