Mystery Donor Sends 3,200 Baht Coffee to Rattanathib Police Station
6 Aug Khaosod

Rattanathib Police Station in Nonthaburi received an unexpected delivery of 18 premium coffees worth approximately 3,200 baht on August 5, with no indication of who sent them or who they were meant for. A rider delivered nine bags between 2:20 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. to the station's public relations desk, leaving the staff confused.

When no one came to collect the coffee, officers called the coffee shop to clarify. The shop confirmed the order was paid in full through a rider app, but the customer provided no name and gave only vague instructions to deliver to the police station. The shop agreed the officers could consume the coffee and took responsibility for the order.

Public relations officer Areeja Chue-Vongse explained that the busy afternoon made it impossible to question the rider immediately. "We were confused because there were so many coffees," she said. "At first we thought it might be a large catering order, and we were worried about a delivery mistake or potential problems." Officer Nakorrin Man-Thup confirmed the station contacted the coffee shop and verified there were no safety concerns before distributing the drinks to officers on duty.

Station Commander Pruet Jamroongsasn thanked the generous benefactor, suggesting they were likely a member of the public who had received good service and wanted to show appreciation to the hardworking staff.
