A 10,000 baht reward has been offered for information leading to the whereabouts of a 37 year old psychiatric patient who has been missing for over a week after walking out of Khon Kaen Hospital.

 

Thawatchai Themueang is a resident of Samran district in Khon Kaen province, who sought treatment for spasms at the hospital on Saturday, May 13. Security camera footage showed him leaving the hospital premises wearing a navy blue shirt with a white collar, black shorts, and no shoes.

 

Today, May 22, Dr Kriangsak Vacharanukulkiat, Director of Khon Kaen Hospital, revealed that efforts to locate Thawatchai were underway, in coordination with relatives and various regional hospital networks, including local health centres and volunteer organizations. The search is focused on the Khon Kaen province area. The reward of 10,000 baht was established after the family reported him missing to the local police on Sunday, May 14. However, no leads or sightings have been confirmed yet.

 

Khemthong Themueang, the 59 year old mother of the missing patient, stated that her son is a quiet person, rarely talks to others, and is particularly fearful of doctors and nurses. He has never been away from home on his own before and usually stays with his father, who looks after him closely.

It would have been a good idea for his photo to be the main bit of the photo , rather than the doctor and all those tables and chairs in the photo ?
