While picking up things and pushing a baby stroller There was an aun tie, probably around 40 years old, who called out to us from behind, 'Nong, are you Thai?' I replied, 'Yes,' and he took out a 1,000 baht banknote from my pocket. Then he said to us, 'Sister, I want to transfer money to my daughter. But then the machine didn't accept my money." I quickly cut it off. 'You can exchange it for a counter. At the department store, they give you money to exchange. Or you can exchange it with an official at the bank. The ATM machine is next to the bank branch.' He replied, 'Oh, I just didn't want to exchange money. I would like you to transfer some money to me. Then I'll give it to you in cash. My son had to hurry and use the money. And the mobile phone that is used to send the OTP is not with you.' So we replied, 'Sister, you can leave it with me at the counter.
