“Thank you to the Thai people for welcoming me. Thai people are lovely, especially my wife,” he said.
Earlier, Mr. Mark, a noodle stall owner in Bangkok’s Prachachuen area where the look-alike John Wick washed noodle bowls, told the press that he and his wife were “utterly stunned” when they saw the man approaching. His wife soon ordered the look-alike to help wash the noodle bowls at the stall. The man removed his black suit jacket and obediently complied, washing the bowls alongside him.
