A 22-year-old man in Udon Thani claimed a famous comedian was his biological father, citing a "mind-reading device," but police found no connection; his father revealed the young man has a history of drug use and psychiatric issues requirin
On July 21, 2024, a 22-year-old man identified as Def entered a police station in Udon Thani asking officers to confirm receipt of 10,000 baht he claimed the famous comedian Mam Jok Mok had transferred for travel to Yasothon province. When questioned about his story, Def insisted that a "mind-reading device" had revealed to him that Mam Jok Mok was his biological father, though he acknowledged he was legally an adopted child. Officers at the station noticed his behavior appeared unstable.
Police later conducted a background check using his real name and found no records linking Def to Mam Jok Mok by blood or adoption. Def continued insisting that Mam Jok Mok was his true father. The investigation revealed that Def's registered residence is in Non Sang District, Nong Bua Lamphu province, with no connection to the comedian.
In a phone interview, Def's biological father, Ketu, a construction worker currently on Samui Island, confirmed that Def is his biological son and his only child. He disclosed that his son has a history of serious drug use and over the past month has shown dramatic behavioral changes, including talking to himself, hearing voices, and believing that relatives are being held hostage at a pier and threatened. The family had previously sought psychiatric treatment for him at Samui Hospital.
Ketu expressed deep concern, explaining that because he works far from home and has financial limitations, he cannot personally monitor his son. He has appealed to police, social welfare authorities, and the Foundation for Protecting Vulnerable Persons for assistance in locating and helping his son access proper psychiatric evaluation and treatment for everyone's safety. Def is currently in the care of the police investigation unit "Pirun." The Mirror Foundation reportedly is traveling to meet with Def at the Udon Thani City Police Station.
