A woman employee at a Pattaya go-go bar has given police a tourist’s bag she found containing 9,700 Australian dollars, hoping it could be returned to its owner.

Chommanat Sing-oat, 42, works at the Queen Club go-go bar. She handed the bag in to Pattaya police station at 8.06am on Monday, saying she found it in front of the bar in the morning after returning there from having a meal with colleagues.

Inside the bag there was an Australian passport and A$9,700 in cash - worth around 200,000 baht.

Ms Chommanat said she hoped police could find the owner and return the lost bag and its contents.

Security footage from the bar showed a tall foreign man wearing a black shirt, black shorts and with a tattoo on his left leg sitting in front of the bar for a while, then departing and leaving the bag behind.
