Mr. Somchai requested help to cover hospital expenses in South Korea in order to return the body to Thailand for a funeral ceremony.
Miss Pinyuda Chamchansri, Minister Counsellor (Labour Section) at the Royal Thai Embassy in Seoul, South Korea, asked the consular office at the Royal Thai Embassy in Seoul, and became aware that the consular was informed on October 31, 2018, and had authorized the company to manage the funeral. The embassy kept in contact with relatives continuously and is currently in process of a funeral procession, but no one was responsible for the funeral expenses. As for the relatives claim that there was no communication with the embassy in South Korea, it was not the Royal Thai Embassy in Seoul. If the family is unable to cover expenses for the funeral, they are able to contact the Department of Consular Affairs for a loan and return it later. However, the Labour Department will continue to inquire about the death at the consulate.
