Desperate son’s 700km search for missing father who disappeared during durian harvest

[webfact]

 

A distressed 26 year old Thai man, along with his wife, has embarked on a journey of over 700 kilometres in search of his missing father.

 

The disappearance occurred after the father accompanied a friend to collect durian fruits in Chumphon province, where he displayed strange behaviour. The father, who supposedly spoke of three women while standing alone talking to himself near a tree, still remains untraceable despite the son and his wife’s continued search efforts.

 

Anant Wanthong, a resident of Nong Kham, Sri Racha, Chon Buri province, journeyed with his wife, Rungthip Laengsuk, from Chon Buri to Chumphon province. Their mission was to search for his 48 year old father, Suriya Wanthong, who had travelled with a fellow truck driver friend to collect durian fruits from the Chumphon province’s vicinity. It was after taking a break near a tree that Suriya began speaking to himself about three women, later disappearing without a trace.

 

Anant and his wife reported that Suriya had joined his friend in Chon Buri to drive a container truck collecting durian at a farm near Khao Pheeb crossroads, Thung Tako, Chumphon. As Suriya was loading the durians into the container truck at around 8am on June 22, he strolled to the adjacent woods to urinate. Upon return, he began speaking nonsensically to himself about three women, which alarmed his friend to the point of offering him a blessing necklace. It was at this point that Suriya expressed his intent to visit his son residing in Tohmakham lane, a location in Chon Buri instead of Chumphon, reported KhaoSod.
