Fears for the safety of a Danish woman who went missing while walking in the Khao Chamao national park in Rayong were growing as dusk fell last night.

 

The 51 year old - named only as Susan - was walking with a friend called Charles, said Rotnai Pasukthanakarn the assistant to the park chief who was organising the search party.

 

The couple had set off from their vehicle about 2pm yesterday to walk up the waterfall area. Susan lagged behind because she had a problem with her leg, he friend said.

 

When she did not catch up he went back down and could not locate her. So he went to their car and waited for two hours before alerting park staff.

 

An initial search found no sign of the Danish woman and police and locals were called in to help.

 

But as dusk fell the search became even more difficult.

 

Daily News reported that park staff said she is unlikely to have strayed far because she could not walk well.There was also no fear of attack by wild animals as there were none thought to be in the area.

 

The search was continuing last night.

Danish tourist rescued after getting lost in Rayong mountains

By The Nation

 

A Danish woman was rescued early Thursday after she got lost while visiting a popular waterfall in Rayong's Khao Chamao district on Wednesday evening.
 

A team of 50 rescuers from the Khao Chamao-Khao Wong National Park, tourist police and Khao Chamao police found Eva Susanne Gylling, 51, sitting in the forest at 12.30am on Thursday. She was sitting with her back against a tree about 1,500 metres from the marked park trail.

 

She had suffered minor injuries to her ankle and cried with joy when seeing officials.

 

Her boyfriend, Zahir Shah Ewasusan, 40, was with Gylling walking on the trail when the woman disappeared. Ewasusan then sought help from authorities at 6pm and a search team was organised immediately.

 

Gylling said she strayed off the trail and could not find a way back. When she hurt her ankle, she sat down and called out for her boyfriend several times but no one answered.

 

Rojanai Phasukthanakarn, assistant chief of the park, said the officials felt relieved when they located Gylling, adding that tourists should strictly observe the safety advice of officials while visiting the park.
