Three young Thai girls have disappeared after sneaking out of their school in Chiang Mai. The children, aged seven to nine, were last seen on CCTV wandering the streets with umbrellas in the early hours of 1 a.m., August 3. Police are urging the community to assist in the search.

 

The missing girls, seven-year-old Natnicha Phewkaew, nine-year-old Jomkwan Siamlai, and nine-year-old Kamonnit Wilai, disappeared from Rajaprajanugroh 30 School in the Mae Ai district. Officers from Mae Ai Police Station have called on residents to offer any information that might help locate the children, who were spotted near Mae Ai Luang Temple, Thairath School, and Mae Ai Fresh Market.

 

The authorities suspect that the girls might be hiding in one of 15 nearby residential communities, including Ban San Kong, Ban San Phak La, and Ban Pu Chae. Residents are asked to be vigilant and report sightings to the children’s guardians or the police. The guardian contacts are Thipsukhon Phewkaew (091-848-4515), Lek Siamlai (080-120-1680), and Rinthong Kunna (084-226-4984).

The police have also provided a hotline at 053-459-033 for any crucial information. The school has not yet explained how the girls managed to leave the premises unobserved. There are whispers among online communities that homesickness might have driven the girls to attempt a return home, although this remains speculative.

 

Local authorities have announced the deployment of drones to assist in the search operations. While this decision comes amidst recent tensions and a drone ban following incidents between Thailand and Cambodia, officials assure the public that efforts will be made to locate the children safely.

As investigations proceed, the focus remains firmly on recovering the girls swiftly and safely. Community collaboration is essential to ensure their safe return, and authorities continue to urge anyone with potentially useful information to come forward immediately.
