A Thai couple recently found a ฿1 million pearl by chance while they were having Mookata at a local restaurant. They later offered the pearl for sale in the hope of earning money to settle their debts. Here’s how the story unfolded.

On 24th August 2022, Thaiger reported that a couple and their relatives were celebrating a birthday and having Mookata at a local restaurant. While eating their food, the lady found a hard object in her Babylon snail. Their friend jokingly said it could be a Melo pearl, so they decided to send it to a laboratory in Chiang Mai to have it examined.

Lucky for them, the examination found that it was a real pearl that costs up to a million baht. They were also issued a certificate as proof of the pearl’s value.

The lady mentioned that she hoped to sell this pearl to anyone who was willing to buy it, and they could discuss the price later. She also expressed that she would use the money to pay off her debt, reported Khaosod.


They were definitely lucky to find the pearl


Well, this is a rare stroke of luck as we don’t really expect people to find a high-priced pearl like this in their food. We’d definitely believe this couple must have done something good before, so that’s the reason why great luck came to them. Finally. we want to congratulate to both of them. We hope that a suitable buyer will come along and buy the pearl soon.
