This is the heartwarming moment kind residents helped pick up 2,000 GBP worth of banknotes scattered on a road in Thailand.

Supornthip said she had withdrawn the money - 100,000 THB in total - from the bank that afternoon and left it with one of their employees to buy cassava.

However, the absent-minded worker had left the bag on the back of the truck causing it to scatter all over the road.

Police called the bank to verify Supornthip's testimony before returning the money. However, 8,000 THB was still missing, which is believed to have been lost in nearby fields of kept by some of the pedestrians.

Supornthip said: 'I'm grateful to the people who helped us. I don't blame my subordinates as they were extremely sorry for their mistake.'

They added that passers-by along the road can turn the remaining 8,000 THB over to the police.
