Daily News caption: After four years he still has hope of finding (dad)

 

Daily News reported that a man from Sriracha in the east of Thailand still has hopes of finding his missing Japanese father who disappeared on Doi Inthanon mountain four years ago.

 

The Mirror Foundation is now looking into the disappearance of Kinya Nakamura, 82, after he went missing in Chiang Mai on April 9th 2018.

 

Daily News reporters went to Surasak sub-district of Sriracha to the Suan Seua Palm Hill estate where they met Chinya Nakamura, 33, who works as an engineer at the Pin Thong industrial estate.

 

He told how his dad was also an engineer who fell in love with a Thai woman and whom he saw every 3 months for seven days when he was a kid.

His dad spoke Japanese or English with him. There was a language barrier but they built up a strong relationship.

 

In April 2018 seven family members went on a trip to Doi Inthanon - Thailand's highest peak. The five other members went back to the car after making merit leaving him alone with his dad.

 

He said that his father disappeared in the blink of an eye while he was preparing to take a picture with a camera.

 

There were reports of the old man in a yellow public passenger vehicle.

 

Despite his and the family's personal searches and that of the authorities his dad had simply disappeared. 

 

Despite four years passing he has not given up hope of seeing his dad again. He said he had spent a lot of money on the search and had impinged on the kindness of others to not let the matter rest.

 

He said that the Mirror Foundation was now helping in a renewed effort to locate his father that would be mounted next month.
