On the evening of August 12, Chaiyaporn, a close friend, and the deceased booked a room in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya.

Chaiyaporn promptly called emergency services at 1669. Paramedics arrived and transported Mor Keng to Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Hospital, where they lost consciousness en route. The medical team performed CPR six times in the ICU, but despite their best efforts, Mor Keng passed away.

They unanimously described Mor Keng as a kind-hearted individual, beloved by colleagues and patients alike, reported KhaoSod.

He recounted the details of Mor Keng’s deteriorating condition, starting from the night they arrived in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya.
