On August 4, Publika reported that Somsak Butsri, the brother of Thai YouTuber Hlun Solo (real name: Bowornthat Pengsuk), who died in Georgia, said that Hlun Solo’s body would be repatriated from Tbilisi to Thailand on August 5.
The publication reports that Thai Embassy representatives would be present at Tbilisi International Airport to oversee the repatriation process.
As the brother wrote, the embassy sent an official letter to the Georgian authorities requesting the expedited transfer of the autopsy and toxicology reports to the Thai side. They also requested the return of the traveler’s personal belongings.
The Thai solo traveler and YouTuber, known as Hlun Solo, was found dead in a hotel in Tbilisi, reportedly on July 14. His family said they had been unable to contact him since July 13.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs only announced information about the death of 27-year-old Hlun Solo on July 29. The agency said it had launched an investigation under the article on incitement to suicide.
Hlun Solo’s family rejects the suicide theory and is demanding a full investigation into the circumstances of his death. The Thai authorities and the family are awaiting the completion of the Georgian investigation.
