A Thai worker in Israel who, after being discharged from the hospital, found himself abandoned by his employer at a workers’ camp. The man, unable to recall any personal details, has since disappeared from his accommodation, leaving both his family and fellow workers anxious for his wellbeing.

 

A TikTok user, identified as @jacaky2538, who is also a Thai worker in Israel, shared a video on the platform in an attempt to locate the family of this man. The video highlights the plight of the worker who had travelled to Israel in search of better financial opportunities.

 

“#ThaiWorkersInIsrael Please help me find his family. He remembers living in Kasang district, Buriram province. Nobody wants this to happen. It’s heartbreaking. If anyone knows him, please contact me.”

 

The video shows the man sitting among fellow workers, visibly restless and unable to communicate effectively. It is understood that he had recently been discharged from a hospital but, due to memory issues, cannot contact his family.

 

The post garnered significant attention and concern from viewers, who are collectively trying to help locate the man’s relatives. One TikTok user, claiming to be from the same village, commented.

 

 

“Toei, what happened? We’re from the same hometown in Kasang, Buriram. I was wondering where you’ve gone.”

 

Further comments from the original poster explain that after the man’s hospital release, his employer refused to take responsibility and instead had him dropped off at the workers’ camp by a taxi.

 

Attempts by his friends to seek assistance from the Thai embassy in Israel were met with little support. They were simply advised to arrange for his return ticket home on their own. The man’s mother, having seen the video, expressed her distress and inability to reach her son, commenting on the post with deep concern.

 

The situation has taken a worrying turn as recent comments reveal that the man has now vanished from his room, with his current whereabouts unknown. This development has heightened the urgency for those involved to find him and ensure his safety, reported KhaoSod.

That poor lad is not at all well.

He needs help.

Considering the never-ending conflict in and around Israel it is hardly the place any sane person would go for "...better financial opportunities."

The issues with Israeli employers are nothing new and go back a long time as well.

If this case gets a lot of publicity in Isan it may discourage others from going anywhere near that cesspool of violence.

Not unlike many other embassies, they don't want to be saddled with the cost and later struggle to recoup the money. Really his employer should be the one helping but I suppose this is a migrant worker/ employer relationship with few legal responsibilities on the employers part especially if he wasn't being treated for a work accident, sounds more like a stroke.

Get him back to thailand asap. Not really looking for a holiday to Israel else I would be willing to fetch him.
