Luke Erwin, a TikTok content creator, tested a Thai vendor’s kindness in Phuket by asking him for a free mango and telling him that he didn’t have money on him. The vendor showed kindness and agreed to give him a free mango. Luke then surprised him with ฿1,950, telling him that it was a test. At first, the vendor wanted to just take ฿50 for the mango, but Luke insisted and gave him ฿1,950 for the kindness.
After the video was released, many netizens flocked to praise the vendor’s generosity towards Luke, a true example of Thai people’s kindness.

Big respect for both the vendor and Luke
We really admire people like this vendor and hope to find more people like him in Thai society. If you do something good, you will likely get goodness in return. Also, Luke deserves praise for paying it forward and spreading kindness.
