An intense police search is underway for Chaowalit Thongduang, a 37-year-old prisoner who is serving time for attempted murder. Chaowalit, also known as “Sia Paeng Nanod”, managed to escape from a hospital in Nakhon Si Thammarat. There are suspicions he may have managed to cross into Malaysia.
The Escape Vehicle
The vehicle that helped Chaowalit to escape from the hospital has been found abandoned in Satun province, on the southern border. The police team discovered this getaway vehicle with Phatthalung license plates close to a coastal pier. The theory is that Chaowalit was heading to Malaysia and may have already crossed the border.
Doubts about his Whereabouts
Despite the findings, the police are not entirely convinced that he has left the country. The theory being explored is that Chaowalit switched vehicles and left the original one near the pier to throw off the police.
Measures Taken at the Border
Satun’s immigration police, led by Pol Col Thanisorn Saengthanang, has enforced strict checks on vehicles leaving the country via the Wang Prachan border checkpoint. Surveillance has also been heightened at Tammalang and Bang Para piers, both popular with tourists, and at the 200 small piers along the coast. Photos of Chaowalit have been distributed to aid in his capture.
Accomplices in the Escape
Arrest warrants have been issued for four individuals suspected of aiding Chaowalit’s escape. It is believed that two men, identified only as Chalermphong and Chakkree, were waiting in the pickup outside the hospital to transport him. This vehicle was later found deserted at the pier in Satun.
Chaowalit’s Time in Hospital and His Escape
Chaowalit was admitted to Maharat Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital for dental treatment. During his stay, he collapsed, reportedly due to severe leg pain. Despite being chained to the bed and kept under guard by two warders, he managed to escape without his shackles, as seen on hospital security cameras.
Investigation by the Corrections Department
The Corrections Department has launched an inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Chaowalit’s escape. The Nakhon Si Thammarat Provincial Court has also approved arrest warrants for five individuals in connection with the case. Two men and two women are believed to have assisted Chaowalit.
Chaowalit’s Criminal Background
Chaowalit was sentenced to over 20 years in prison for attempted murders linked to an armed attack on police during an attempted abduction in Phatthalung province. He started serving his sentence at Phatthalung Prison and was later transferred to Nakhon Si Thammarat Prison. Chaowalit faces multiple other criminal charges, including murders, most of which are still in court.
