The woman contacted her older sister in Bangkok, who messaged the Pattaya Mail through its Facebook page. The newspaper contacted Rungsalit Suttisa of Nongprue’s municipal police, who sent subdistrict officers out to look for her.

Aumka was found unhurt before noon. She does not suffer from dementia, but was unfamiliar with the area and got lost trying to find her daughter’s house.
