On August 6, 2025, at their home in Samdet district, Kalasin province—the birthplace of Bowortat Pengsuk, known as Hlun Solo, a renowned travel YouTuber who died mysteriously in Georgia—preparations were underway to receive his remains. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed his body would arrive at his home in Kalasin for religious and customary funeral rites. The family plans to hold merit-making ceremonies for three days at Hlun's house before a funeral service at Rangsichatchawal Temple in Samdet district.

Relatives and neighbors prepared the venue and food offerings as out-of-province fans and fellow YouTubers gathered to pay respects, filling the atmosphere with both activity and sorrow. Hlun's grandmother, despite smiling and speaking with reporters and visiting YouTubers, showed visible signs of exhaustion. Medical staff from Samdet Hospital provided care and emotional support. The grandmother stated she had learned Hlun had arrived in Thailand but was struggling to accept his death, saying she could not bear to see his face. She committed to organizing the funeral properly with at least three nights of ceremonies. Municipal officials added three more tents and extra chairs, anticipating large numbers of fans attending.

Hlun's uncle, Sompong Pengsuk, 62, said they were waiting for notification from authorities handling the body's transfer and that an autopsy was underway. The family had prepared the venue and tentatively scheduled three nights of merit-making ceremonies, with possible extensions for auspicious or significant days, followed by the funeral at the temple. During the conversation, the grandmother purchased one lottery ticket numbered 904326—Hlun's age. Fans, YouTubers, and neighbors have begun arriving to offer condolences, while media outlets and police continue monitoring developments.
