Mr. Kamin said that he got the bill from an ATM and noticed that there was a message on it when he was paying for food. He asked the note back from the seller and used another ฿100 bill instead in order to read what the note said.
It’s included a date, signature, and a touching note that read: “My child gave me [this note] for the first time”.

After he read it, he felt that this was something special with sentimental value to the person who probably wrote the message. These difficult times might have forced the owner to use or lose it, so Mr. Kamin decided to look for the original owner.
With the power of social media, he was able to find the person who wrote it and reunited the person with the note.
The owner of this banknote is uncle Vichai Chaiseansuk who later revealed to Dailynews that he got the banknote when his child started working and got their first salary. He loves to collect such things because it reminds him of his good old days.
The uncle commented under the post that he was the owner of the bill and also gave his contact and address
