Saowaluk ‘Nong Mai’ Thappan, the 15-year-old girl reported missing from Ranong two days ago, was reunited with her mother at the Chalong Police Station in Phuket last night.
Thankfully this was only a case of runaway, and not human trafficking, her mother said.
How concerned should parents be about human traffickers stealing children in Phuket and elsewhere along the Andaman coast?
