On Tuesday at 2:30 am, the Banglamung Police were contacted by an employee of a convenience store, Family Mart, in Soi Sukhumvit-Pattaya 87. The store was requesting help in locating the parents of a 3-year-old boy, Master Ice, who was found wandering and crying in front of the store. The officers approached the store, preparing to help.

Fortunately at that very moment, a motorcycle taxi driver was driving past the store, Mr. Sonchai Sawangsee, aged 36 from Chainat province. He stopped immediately, as Master Ice was his son. The father stated that, each night, he usually brought his son to the store to buy some milk and snacks, before returning home after his job was finished. The father thought that his son might have been hungry, so walked to the store to wait for him by himself. Sometimes there are happy endings!
