Chumporn parents in heartfelt appeal: Please find our long lost daughter who ran off with an Aussie

[kcpattaya]

Yeah, really concerned after 13 years...

[Jonathan Swift]

Whatever there might be for a backstory, it's still sad. We only have one set of parents. Foul play would be a horrible thing to find out. If she's alive and If they die without her reconciling she might regret it. BUT, blaming a heart condition on the daughter is a bit much.

She moved to Australia and married her partner. 

 

Its not really running away is it.

Anyone try facebook? It sounds stupid, I know, but you'd be surprised as to the people who turn up there. I found a guy that owed me $1000 US who disappeared to Florida for  10 years after  breaking my guitar onstage while drunk. He had finally moved back to my area. I had sued him and won at the time. So I easily had a constable collect my money. I also found an internet criminal who had been prosecuted by the US government, and had given up all of his assets to avoid prison. he was still posting family photos. People like their social media, and I don't think the parents are gonna be computer savvy or have smart phones. But I agree that if they don't want to be found it's probably for a reason

[Thechook]

When I 1st saw the headline I thought it was a young girl who had been seduced by an older aussie and they ran off together.  It turns it was two adults who got married and moved abroad for a better life, she hardly ran off with a guy.

Because they are poor they are bad ? Is that what you are saying. If my child should disappear for so long I would also be out of my mind with worry and if ny time comes close I would like to see the child again or get closure. Your rant about money reflect your own personality not theirs.

You have completely twisted my words and placed a construction on them that is not there and I did not state.

 

You seem to be unfamiliar with Thailand. Perhaps you only arrived in your 60's. There is no state pension here. There is no free health care here. Perhaps you did not know that. It is the responsibility of the children to financially support their parents in their old age and to take care of them when they become frail.

 

Perhaps you should learn a bit about the country you live in, learn to read carefully what is written and wind your neck in.

This is very true but if the youngest daughter has left the country to enjoy her married life elsewhere then that responsibility falls on the next child. So where are they? 

 

The cynic in me is thinking that if the wayward daughter is now financially well off, then the parents, who, thinking their children will take care of them in their autumn years, may well have squandered their money over the years, now want a cut of the action. The chances are the parents are not in dire straits because they do have a pension albeit small, of 600 Baht per month each from the government. They have their house and probably a bit of land too. I have seen first hand parents who demand to be paid just for the fact that there is some money about and others who will run squealing around their village claiming quite falsely that their daughter is not looking after them.

 

Maybe I am wrong but as the saying goes "Been there. Done that".

So many replies about the Parents just wanting money

It could be that they just want to hear from their Daughter again

It may seem strange to some, but , maybe Parents would just like to have some contact with their Child .

  Sad state of affairs when some posters feel that it must be for financial gain

You are being a bit harsh here mate. Thai government hospitals are very affordable for all Thai citizens especially, if they some form of social insurance and have worked legitimately all their lives. And old people do get a small payment each month. About 600 baht I believe? While not enough to live on it is a form of pension. Perhaps you should learn even more about the country you live in too...

One of two things here. A family squabble and the daughter has just disconnected past life from new. Very possible. Or more sinisterly, Pensiri's fate is less 'secure'. Later needs ruling out. 

[IMA_FARANG]

do understand, I hope she contacts them.

But if she was legally old enough to marry him, assuming they did get married, there is little the parents can do.

All they can do is attempt to find their daughter, and hope she wants to hear from  them.

Just or the record, I have a wife  and a legally  adopted daughter who was born in Saigon in 1971 still living somewhere in Vietnam,.

The last time I  heard from them was in Saigon before April 1975 and the Communist take-over then.

But that is another long story.

I know the feeling, I've been searching for them both since 1975.

I find this story a bit strange, I am sure she is on Facebook , all Thais are.  The old couple other sons and daughters could have contacted her a long time ago.  

And why now, after 10 years ? Do they need financial support?   

 

 

 

[wow64]

Interestingly the Australian left a bankbook with 30,000 b in it. 

 

The heart condition was brought on worrying about how to get this money.

She has been found alive and well living in Australia.  She has re-married.

 

Her contact details have been passed on to the relevant authorities and newspaper to follow up.

Exactly. With all the information they had and the state of social apps these days the could of located her years ago.. it is strange that she didn't bother to contact her family.. there must be something more to this story...

Still begs the question: why abandon the parents all these years?

If my child disappeared I wouldn't wait 13 years to try and find out what happened. I suspect that the parents are at their wits end because the sons are obviously no help to them financially so they are trying to track down the daughter and ATM Aussie as a last desperate measure. Otherwise, waiting so long to do it makes no sense at all.

Perhaps you should question why the parents are so poor when they have three grown-up sons when, as you say, Thai culture requires they take care of their parents.

That's different and I empathize to your story completely but not to some Thais 13 years after the daughter 'escaped' to  a better life. Bit late in the day eh? they just want her to finance their retirement. 

[smew]

He could be easy located, with a last name like that. 

[natway09]

What is it with Ozzies  ?????

[Here It Is]

The best outcome has been achieved.  The daughter is alive and the parents hopefully informed of her wellbeing.

 

My mother died when I was very young and my father was a complete <deleted> during our childhood.  I left home at the first opportunity and have never been back, for my own reasons, and nothing to do with anyone else.  I have also done quite well for myself and have a comfortable existence with my Thai wife.

 

Up to her and end of story as far as we are concerned.

[Spaniel]

So, was she found or not?

I would ask the same question, a Moderator has said in post 15 that she has been found, everyone else is still speculating that she must be on Facebook etc, if she has been found why doesn't the MOD close the thread.

This is where, this has probably re-surfaced from -IMO.

 

Probably Krung Thai bank, has sent a letter to their daughter/husband, at the parents address

stating, as the bank account has had no activity in 13 years, they will close the account, if no further

activity is forthcoming...

 

30,000 - not to be sniffed at...

[ozterix]

there really is a bunch of horrible people in this forum. What they comment about the parents possible intentions is telling me a lot more about them then the poor people who are aging and want to know what happened to their daughter. 

bunch of disgusting individuals and can only link things to money
