Dear forum members,

My family wishes to send our sincerest thanks for the kind wishes and offers of (and actual) help in finding my daughter. She was found in a hospital. She is very unwell and we had a terrible time getting her home but we managed it. I am sorry not to have answered messages but I had not internet access and we were so busy with sorting out an emergency passport etc.

We are very grateful to you as we could not have found her without your help.

To those of you who said we should not have let her go....she was well when she left having had just one short episode of illness the year before. She was not on medication and she is an adult. We had no control over this. I am glad to see the forum takes a hard line in banning such trolls. Perhaps this should be for more than just a week? We are strong individuals with the ability to ignore such idiots but other families may not be. It is easy to hide behind an anonymous user name. I expect you would not have to guts to say it to my face!!

If you are on other forums please can you let them know she is safe as I cannot remember all the forums I contacted.

Once again. THANK YOU from the very depths of my heart,

From Hannah's mother, aunt, 2 uncles, grandmother and baby brother xxx

happy to hear all ended well.

please dont pay attention to any negative comments here. unfortunately while the forum has many benefits it is on occasion used by a small number of people as a vehicle to vent negativity towards others due to the frustrations and inadequacies in their own lives.

i wish your daughter a speedy recovery.

This is good news...You have a family member safe and home with you again...

Glad you got her home safe, and you didn't take the idiot comments to heart.

Happy to hear there a good ending and you have your baby home again - I can imagine it was a stressful time for all of you

I hope Hannah makes a full and swift recovery.

Send her our love

Good news.

Best not pay any attention to trolls and sad little net weasels who thrive on others' misfortune as it makes their day. They usually come unstuck all on their own.

I would say that most of Thai Visa members would wish you well, and your Daughter,

So glad you found her and hope she is better soon.

Like others have said they are some very grumpy small minded lonely old men on this forum and we can plainly see why. Just ignore them as others do.

Hannah has got a lovely smile, Theresa. Glad that you can enjoy seeing it again. Best wishes.

This is very good news and I hope Hannah is well soon.

This is wonderful news and an end to the terrible ordeal of the girl`s family.

As a concerned parent myself, I would like to ask the OP, what if their daughter decides to go globe trotting again? Although she is an adult is it possible to obtain some kind of court supervision order under the mental health acts that would be for her own protection and safety?

What future plans does this family have for the well being of their daughter? Because now looking ahead is an all important factor to avoid a repeat of something like this happening again.

Ps: Just to say that I ask these questions as a parent of a daughter of similar age myself, I have no knowledge of this family`s situation or their relationship with their daughter. I fully respect their wishes if they decide to ignore my concerns and inquiries.

Great news.

Good that all went well and that you managed to get through this difficult trip to Bangkok.

In a way, your emergency was one of the rare occasions where the forum really mattered and could make a difference. If was an opportunity for the community to show its best and also its worst. It is up to the moderators to make improvements as to the worst side.

Many share your views.

Hannah & family,This is indeed uplifting news ! Your sad story about your daughter touched nearly all on this Forum & so happy we were of some assistance .May Buddha bless you & your family innthe future.

Great news.

Nice to see a fellow Man U supporter on the Forum......I have supported them snce 1958 & mMunich air crash & have visitd several grounds including OT to follow them. How long have you supported thm may I ask & what do you think of the current side?

Good news for this family, very nice of the mom to express her thanks here, and even nice of you, at least in the first line of your post, to join in the board's congratulations.

Why you posted the rest of that - asking what future plans they have for the well being of their daughter, making some comment about mental health acts, and asking the mother to splay all of that publicly on this message board or anywhere else - is beyond me. Frankly, it's none of your business and you've no right to ask it.

May God Bless You and your family and especially Hannah.

Happy to hear the news and that she will hopefully recover very soon.

The best to you and the entire family.

I dis-agree. How are we supposed to learn anything if only bits of a story are told.

Samsensam is quite right, 95% of the posters are good guys, just looking for info' and advice.

There are, of course, in any group a$#ho#es and di#khe$ds, but they are best ignored as they contribute simply a big Zero.

AWESOME NEWS !!!!!!!

She's safe, thankfully. How about we just leave it at that rather than interrogate the poor people?

That's just fantastic news Theresa....am so happy your daughter is on the road to recovery. May you and all your family have great rejoicings and thank you for taking the time to thank those who deserved it.

Having a mentally ill child will unlikely affect the vast majority of board members, if we did Thai visa is the last place you'd want to share it.

At 21 many of us weren't living with our parents so I don't judge this mother as her daughters an adult and she clearly cares abut her.

I just appreciated her thanks and wouldn't dream of baiting her with highly personal questions.

I couldn't help, because I live in the sticks in Isaan - but I'm very happy.

I am so happy for you that this is resolved and your daughter is home. I cannot imagine a tougher thing to endure. All my best wishes to you going forward...

I am so pleased to hear your good news that she is safe and well with her family.

Very good news for a change. Thank you for taking the time and for being considerate to write back. It's a good thing that you acted quickly. Time was of the utmost importance. We are happy for you that your daughter is safely back home where she can be cared for. Best wishes to your daughter and family.

I am happy there is a good resolution.
Bless all the good.

A good resolution, and help from Thaivisa that did not involve buying a banner ad!

A good result for all involved!
