The Be One organisation located a missing 26 year old Thai woman in the southern province of Phetchaburi last night, January 6, after she informed friends that she was abducted by two men and went missing for six days.

The public became aware of the disappearance of the 26 year old woman, Arissara “Alice” Srichathum, after Facebook page Tudd Entertain shared a missing person’s poster yesterday. The post revealed that Alice had gone missing on January 2 after telling her colleagues she would be taking leave due to depression.

Later that evening, Alice sent farewell messages to all her friends, claiming that two men abducted her. She said they took her to Prachuap Police Station in the southern province of Prachuap Khiri Khan. However, Alice did not make further contact with anyone and subsequently disappeared.

Friends and colleagues attempted to contact Alice’s parents but were unsuccessful. After six days of searching, they sought the help of Tudd Entertain to publicise her disappearance.

The friends provided details of Alice’s appearance to the media, describing her as having fair skin, brown-red hair, a height of 160 centimetres, and a slender build.

The Be One organisation then stepped in to assist. The organisation’s founder, Chalida “Ton Or” Palamart, updated her Facebook account last night, announcing that Alice finally contacted a friend to inform them she was in Phetchaburi province.

Chalida and other members of the organisation travelled to Phetchaburi that night to bring Alice back to Bangkok. However, Alice was reportedly not ready to discuss her disappearance or travels, citing her unstable mental health.

KhaoSod reported that Alice is now undergoing physical and mental health checks at a hospital. Further details are expected to be released following her questioning by the police.

Speculation among netizens remains divided. Some believe Alice simply sought isolation and an escape due to her mental health struggles, while others suspect she may have been abducted for unknown reasons.

In a related case reported in March last year, a Thai woman, reported missing on March 8, was later found in Malaysia, where she was arrested and jailed. Although the specific crime was not disclosed, it was suspected that she entered the country and attempted to work without proper authorisation.
