He did so much. He organised a taxi past midnight to try and chase down the tuktuk and its location in which was successful and i managed to get my phone back which was such a relief considering i had a flight to catch in 6hrs with all my flight details etc. all in all, this man is a legend. also shoutout to J.D. (if you ever see this)another brilliant guy who greatly organised the huntdown! without them both, i dont know what i would’ve done! thank you for a great stay!!
