A penniless rubbish collector is hoping a lump of yellow wax he found on a beach is valuable whale vomit. Somsak Boonrith, 45, stumbled on the yellow chunk while he was sifting through trash on Tarutao island is Satun, southern Thailand last Sunday (10/11) afternoon.
He carried the 2.5kg boulder-like substance home, believing it could be the highly-sought after ambergris which is used in perfumes.
The block could be worth around 80,000GBP, based on the price of previous finds, if it is proven to be real ambergris.
Somsak hopes he can cash in and quit work as a 'rag picker', trawling the street for plastic bottles that he cashes in for a handful of coins each day.
