Stolen Wallet

This is a story several years back during the 1st year of my Hubby here in Thailand, single and alone. He was going inside the mall to buy some stationary supplies when suddenly two teenagers bumped him at the entrance. He thought that the they teenagers were in a hurry to get inside and the mall was crowded so that must have explained the incident and continued his way to the stationary shop. So he went inside and and bought some supplies and lo and behold when he was about to pay for it, ... you guessed it right, his wallet was missing!! Only then he realized that, it must have been pick pocketed by the teenagers.

All his money, ATM card(Malaysian Bank) , Malaysian IC and etc were in his wallet. So, he just put back all the supplies he was supposed to buy and went back home. The question was, where to get money when his bank is Malaysian based and no branches in Thailand. He was also quite new to the place, alone and not much friends around. Thank God that he still had packets of noodles in his kitchen and ate that for days...until, he was able to contact some friends and family and helped him solved his problem.

That was many years ago, this time I think it's already quite different, as there is such things as cash advance or no fax payday loan online. With all these, there's no need to wait for several days or weeks to get money in case of emergencies.
