The family last had contact with him on July 13, according to the post. Hlun had travelled alone to Georgia to produce online content.
“Nobody in the family has been able to contact him since then, either by telephone or online, and everyone is extremely worried,” his brother wrote.
The family asked Thai nationals and other people living or travelling in Georgia to report any sightings or information that could help establish Hlun’s whereabouts.
“Even the smallest piece of information could be extremely useful in finding him,” the post read.
People with relevant information were asked to contact Klose Mos directly or leave details under the Facebook post. The family also urged social-media users to share the appeal widely among Thai communities and travellers in Georgia.
His brother reported that the Department of Consular Affairs at Thailand’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs was the latest government agency contacted for assistance.
Hlun Solo is known for videos documenting his independent travels. His Facebook page has more than 2.5 million followers, while his YouTube channel had about 914,000 subscribers, according to information accompanying the family’s appeal.
The family has not disclosed his intended itinerary in Georgia, his last known location or the circumstances surrounding the loss of contact. No official finding about his whereabouts was included in the information provided. - The Nation/ANN
