Body of YouTuber “Hlun Solo” Returns to Thailand Amid Funeral Preparations

Bangkok: Relatives eagerly await the arrival of the body of "Hlun Solo," a well-known travel YouTuber, set to return to Thailand tomorrow morning. The family is preparing for a second autopsy at the Institute of Forensic Science before holding a three-night funeral ceremony in Kalasin Province.

According to Thai News Agency, the Royal Thai Embassy in Ankara released a statement and image showing the packaging of Mr. Bowornthat Pengsuk's body, known online as "Hlun Solo," with assistance from Thai volunteers in Georgia and transport company representatives. The embassy confirmed that the preparations for the body's transportation back to Thailand were completed yesterday at 3:00 PM.

Hlun's brother updated that the body would leave Georgia on August 5th, arriving in Thailand on August 6th, 2026. The embassy will oversee the handover at Tbilisi airport and has requested expedited autopsy results and toxicology reports from Georgian authorities. The family plans further examination by the Forensic Science Institute of the Ministry of Justice in Thailand before funeral rites begin, expecting this process to take 1-2 days.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sihasak Phuangketkaew, confirmed the arrival time tomorrow at 5:15 AM. The family will then decide how to proceed, with an autopsy initially planned. The Ministry has asked Georgia for a comprehensive investigation, although the cause of death remains undisclosed pending family discussions.

In Somdet District, Kalasin Province, relatives, neighbors, and fans gather at Hlun's home to support the family and prepare for the funeral rites. Mr. Wirat Ratcharee, the District Chief, visited to express condolences and offer support.

Hlun's uncle mentioned plans for a three-night funeral service followed by cremation at Wat Rangsi Chatchawan. The family has yet to decide on a second autopsy, pending clarification from authorities on the cause of death. If results remain inconclusive, further examination may be necessary.
