BANGKOK: A 24-year-old Thai chef, named Methachan (surname withheld), from Phrom Khiri, Nakhon Si Thammarat, has died in Cambodia after being refused hospital treatment due to lack of documents and funds, according to posts by a staffer of the Immanuel Foundation on Facebook.

The chef had been found lying unwell outside a commercial building in Cambodia. His mother, Nawi, 49, told reporters that her son had graduated from a vocational college and worked on ships as a chef, travelling internationally on contracts of around nine months, with a relatively high salary.
