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.
