Reports emerged of bewildering vanishment and an unforeseen rescue from Uthai Thani province yesterday. A 58 year old man made contact with local rescue authorities to inform them that his 29 year old son had gone missing in their village in Thong Luang, Huay Khot district, Uthai Thani.

 

Boonthum relayed what transpired before Vichit’s sudden disappearance. He mentioned that ton July 11, after Vichit returned from work, he had disappeared after eating two pieces of dragon fruit by the tree near their home. Boonthum and other relatives had attempted an extensive search for him around the village but to no avail. The concerned father then suspected that his son might have fallen into the pond while washing his hands and soon contacted the rescue services for help.

 

The arrival of the rescue team saw them using long bamboo sticks to feel around the pond. After a futile search for more than an hour, Boonthum resorted to a local ritual believing it might help. He lit nine incense sticks by the pond and, with a prayer, floated Vichit’s pillow on the water, reported Sanook.

Did it work?

It's only a guess, but is not mentioned is the evil weed.

 

Smoked a doobie, got the munchies, scarfed some dragon fruit then crashed in the shed.

 

Been there myself.

Of course it worked ;

As the search carried on, they were notified that Vichit had been found, shocking everyone. He was discovered in a room behind his house, displaying signs of being in a daze. The sight of their found son brought his parents to tears.

So the magic wasn't needed as the son was sitting in a daze behind the house - which they had not checked. It was bizarre, astounding, shocking, almost tragic, and many other adjectival words that the Thaiger often resorts to to make you read the article.
