A 33-year-old woman from Phrae province, known as Nong Yuyi, has gone missing under mysterious circumstances. Her family is urgently searching for her after her motorcycle was found parked by the Ping River, but she remains missing. Anyone with information is urged to contact authorities immediately.

Miss Pimchanok (surname withheld), a cafe owner in Mueang District, Chiang Mai, filed a missing person report at Mae Ping Police Station after her friend, Nong Yuyi or Miss Pimphon (surname withheld), 33, a native of Phrae who was staying at a dormitory in Mueang District, Chiang Mai, disappeared along with her red-and-gray Yamaha motorcycle with a Bangkok license plate. She vanished on the morning of November 3, 2026. Only her mobile phone, a note with the phone's passcode, and her wallet were found in her room, raising fears she may have come to harm.

Recently, Mr. Kittipong, a friend of Miss Pimphon's boyfriend, provided an update on the search. On the night of November 4, the motorcycle was discovered parked by the Ping River near the Pa Cha Ban Den area, with the key still in the ignition. Nong Yuyi's expensive shoes, which she had removed, were also left there, though it is unknown who took them. Throughout the night, police, rescue workers, and friends searched the surrounding area but found no trace of her. Relatives and friends are extremely concerned.

Anyone who finds Nong Yuyi is asked to contact Mr. Kittipong at 081-2366494 or Mae Ping Police Station immediately.
