Family Confirms Death of Thai Travel YouTuber Hlun Solo
Thai officials are working with Georgian authorities to confirm the circumstances and repatriate the body of 27-year-old travel creator Hlun Solo.
On Thursday, July 30, the family of 27-year-old Thai YouTuber Hlun Solo confirmed his death in Georgia after he lost contact with relatives on July 13 while traveling to film content.
Relatives had been unable to contact Hlun since July 13, prompting social media appeals for information; his brother, Somsak Butsri, 29, learned of his death through messages from social media users.
Grandmother Som Plengsuk, 82, rejected online suicide claims regarding the death in Tbilisi, while relatives questioned why Georgian police failed to contact them despite passport records from his hotel stay.
Thailand's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is coordinating with the Royal Thai Embassy in Ankara to facilitate body repatriation, though the family currently awaits formal consular documentation before proceeding.
Director-General Jaithai Upakaranitikaset confirmed that embassy staff traveled to Georgia to receive verification of Hlun's passing, and officials continue liaising with local authorities to clarify the circumstances.
