A father is pleading for help to find his 15 year old daughter, who has been missing for over two weeks, along with nearly 300,000 baht. He suspects someone has influenced her. The money from selling inherited land was intended for buying property.

 

Narongchai, a 51 year old rider from Prasat, Ban Dan, Buriram, shared his ordeal, seeking media assistance to find his daughter, a vocational student, who vanished on October 4. The family has been anxiously waiting for more than two weeks without any news.

 

Narongchai explained that in April, he received 262,000 baht (US$7,910) from selling his late mother’s land, a sum shared equally among his siblings. He and his wife decided not to deposit the money in their accounts, fearing they might spend it before buying a 320,000 baht (US$9,660) plot of land to build a house.

 

Instead, they put the money in their daughter’s account, believing she wouldn’t touch it as she was a well-behaved girl who rarely left home or socialised.

However, things took a concerning turn when Na, an online seller around 35 years old, befriended their daughter. Na frequently took the girl out for dinner, initially once or twice a week, which Narongchai didn’t mind, thinking it was just an adult showing affection. But the outings became more frequent, causing Narongchai to warn his daughter about focusing on her studies.

 

In August, Narongchai mentioned to his daughter that he planned to use the money to buy the land soon. His daughter responded by saying she was busy.

 

Missing daughter

 

In the following month, she claimed her bank account was locked, preventing any transactions. Narongchai sought advice and was told to visit the bank. However, his daughter kept making excuses to avoid the visit.

 

On October 4, when Narongchai told her they would go to the bank together the next day, she immediately rode her motorcycle away and has been unreachable since.

On October 7, Narongchai reported the matter to Police Lieutenant Colonel Settaphong Meeklom at the Mueang Police Station, seeking help to track down his missing daughter and the money in her account.

 

Attempts to call her have failed; communication has been limited to LINE application chats, where she mentioned she was looking for work, but she avoided calls to prevent revealing her location, reported KhaoSod.

 

Narongchai strongly believes someone has influenced his daughter to either take the money or leave home. He urges police to find his daughter and investigate the money’s transfer history, suspecting those who took her out might be involved in wrongdoing.

What does the bank say about the money? Are they not allowed to tell the father?

Shouldn't the police be able to trace the mobile phone to which the daughter's LINE account is attached?

Instead, they put the money in their daughter’s account, believing she wouldn’t touch it as she was a well-behaved girl who rarely left home or socialised.

 

how well do any parents really know their children? my parents certainly had very little idea about what i was up to as a teenager.😁

I have a migraine from reading this: It's clearly a Thai article (likely AI generated with inputs - nothing wrong with AI BTW) then translated into English with AI = the most unnatural and clunky prose ever seen.

Seemingly introspective enough to know that they have no self-control...

And put all their savings into her account?

 

Guilable father let his 15 year old daughter date a 35 year old man. 

He placed the money in her account therefore the bank are not responsible. 

Poor man has lost his inheritance and his daughter.

The daughter may return when the money is spent and the 35 yearold boyfriend moves on. 

As she is a minor, doesn’t her father have control of her bank account?

 

He should be able to close her account and retrieve the missing money, or what remains of it.

I'm not sure whether this is a sign of a kind of sweet innocence, hopeless naivety, or simply not really caring about a child's welfare.  It seems like the kind of thing that someone should probably be suspicious of, but this is Thailand.  Apparently it's not unusual for a minor at school to be dating an adult man.

If he was going to buy property why would he put the money in his daughters account?

 

Anyway, don't worry she will be back when the money runs out.

Is that because you were delinquent, and didn't tell your parents. I know I didn't tell  my parents everything.

And guess what?

 

They won't be buying any land.

sorry Nongchai .....

a 35 year old pedo man would get a beating by all the keyboard warriors here online before dating their daughter

Blood is thicker than water; but money is thicker than blood.

At least the money stayed in the family, as long as they lasted.

Lol, ok now I don't feel like such a retarded monkey for forgetting where my  car keys are this morning (they were in my pocket).

 

Thanks AN^^

The article doesn't say whether Na is male or female, but it's fairly obvious that the girl has been the victim of a romance scammer.

Of course, not, the account is the girl's account.

Not a chance, the account is hers, he has no connection to it, that she is 15 is irrelevant if the account is in her name.

Dating a 15-year old is not paedophilia.

I'll bet London to a brick the money's long gone ....  either spent already or transferred.

 

as for little miss Nongchai or whatever his name is,    she's probably working in Nana by now.
