Thai YouTuber Bawornthad Peng-suk, known as Hlun Solo, who mysteriously disappeared in Georgia after traveling there on July 13, has been found deceased, his family confirmed on July 30. His brother Somsak Butsri posted on Facebook at 1:35 a.m. Bangkok time stating that the family had located their brother but found him in a condition from which he will not return. The family thanked all those who shared posts, followed the case, coordinated efforts, offered encouragement, and provided assistance across all channels during the search period, noting that the compassion and goodwill from everyone held great meaning for them. They also expressed appreciation to all government agencies and organizations both in Thailand and abroad, as well as those who participated in coordinating and assisting in tracking their brother. At this time, the family is requesting privacy to handle various matters and asking the public to refrain from speculation or sharing unconfirmed information out of respect for their brother and family.

At 9:50 p.m. on July 29, reporters gathered at the residence of Himlun Solo—real name Bowortat Berngsuek—a Thai backpacking YouTuber who vanished mysteriously in Georgia. While social media and reports from Georgia have circulated about his fate, family members remain unconvinced without official confirmation from the Georgian consulate.

Himlun's grandmother, Soam Berngsuek, stated she still believes her grandson is alive and urged all relevant authorities and the public to help locate him and bring him home safely. She called on him to return immediately if he hears the news, as family members await his arrival.

Regarding rumors that he died by suicide, she flatly rejected the notion, describing her grandson as a cheerful, kind-hearted person beloved by others with no enemies or conflicts. She noted he was actively saving money to build and renovate a house, making suicide inconceivable. She prayed for divine protection.

Himlun's aunt, Ponsawan Muangnikom, 40, echoed that the family cannot believe he is dead because no one—no official body or authority—has confirmed it or provided evidence such as photographs, a body, or passport documentation.

Himlun's sister, Boworlak Berngsuek, said the family and relatives cannot confirm or verify his death and have no answer to how or why. No relevant authority has issued official confirmation or notification; only various Facebook pages helping search for him have reported news. Without 100 percent official verification of death, the family refuses to accept it.

On July 20, residents of the Sala Daeng-Ban Chon soi in Mueang Rayong district were awakened around 2 a.m. by dozens of consecutive gunshots that terrified the neighborhood. Police investigators found two 5.56 mm shell casings and one unfired round near the village entrance and collected them as evidence. Using CCTV footage, officers identified a sedan used in the incident and traced it to a 24-year-old suspect named Ton. After obtaining a search warrant from Rayong Provincial Court on July 24, police found him absent from his home in Ban Khao district.

On July 29, facing police pressure, Ton surrendered and turned over an M16A1 rifle used in the shooting, a 30-round magazine, and the purple sedan used as the getaway vehicle. In his confession, Ton said he and his friend Nat had been drinking at Mae Rampung Beach that evening. He asked Nat to retrieve the loaded M16 rifle, and while driving home after drinking, Ton impulsively fired it into the air out of recklessness and intoxication.

Police have charged Ton with firing a weapon in public, illegal possession of military-grade firearms and ammunition, and violations of the Weapons Act. His accomplice Nat has not yet surrendered; police will request an arrest warrant if he does not come forward voluntarily.

Residents of six homes in a dead-end area are forced to climb over fences to enter and exit their homes after filing a complaint with the Ombudsman's Office, as the landowner has now blocked access with a fence.

On July 29, 2569, reporters visited six homes in Moo 2, Sala Daeng Subdistrict, Muang District, Ang Thong Province. The area is a dead-end with no road access, housing approximately 20 residents who must now climb fences to leave. After residents filed a complaint with the Ombudsman's Office, which promised to mediate on August 5, the landowner constructed a brick fence, completely blocking the path. Residents now fear trespassing accusations and must use ladders to access their homes. The six houses are surrounded by fences from the Provincial Commerce Office, Provincial Fisheries Office, Provincial Industry Office, and private land.

When interviewed, 49-year-old Thanyakamon reported that after filing the complaint, the Ombudsman's Office promised to arrange a meeting to find a solution on August 5. However, the landowner built the brick fence barrier before that date, leaving no way out. Residents must use ladders to enter and exit, and they fear trespassing charges. One house has a bedridden patient, so she is asking government agencies to intervene and negotiate to open an access route until a permanent solution is found.

Muang District Chief Raksak Tianchaya met with the residents and coordinated with the landowner to temporarily open an access route the next day. The district is seeking to establish a permanent public route using a government property road near the Provincial Commerce Office and Provincial Fisheries Office for future access.

The family of Thai YouTuber Hloon Solo, whose real name is Bowortat Pengsuk, held a vigil at his home in Samet District, Kalasin Province on July 29, hoping that alarming social media reports of his death are untrue. His sister Boworluk Pengsuk stated that throughout the day the family received multiple messages claiming her brother had died, but they have received no official confirmation from the Georgian consulate or any relevant authorities. She expressed that the family remains skeptical of the social media reports, saying "We believe half and don't believe half," and are waiting for official clarification from the consulate about whether Hloon is still alive.

District Chief Wirat Rachchalai assigned administrative staff and community leaders to visit the family and offer support during this difficult time. Despite the somber atmosphere at the home, family members and relatives continue to pray and hope for a miracle, refusing to accept the reports without official confirmation. Earlier in the day, when Hloon's brother posted a missing person appeal, the social media response was hopeful and positive, with many people sharing and searching for clues about his whereabouts in Georgia.

However, evening social media posts suggesting tragedy caused the family's mood to darken considerably. Nonetheless, all three family members and relatives remain hopeful that Hloon is safe, as they have not received any official confirmation of his death. They are awaiting updates and clarification from the Georgian consulate or related authorities.
