A homeless Norwegian man named Odd Stian Hesseberg is set to return to Norway after spending over three years in Thailand. Immigration officers discovered that Hesseberg had overstayed his visa by 1,179 days. He was taken into custody on August 7 to determine the details of his situation. Hesseberg had initially entered Thailand on March 3, 2023, and was allowed to remain until April 16.
He later applied to extend his stay in Nakhon Sawan, which was granted until May 16, 2023. Despite his desire to return to Norway, Hesseberg's passport and other documents were reportedly stolen, leaving him stranded in Thailand. He resorted to searching for food in rubbish and sleeping at temple pavilions in Pak Kret. Hesseberg expressed gratitude towards the temple staff and residents who had assisted him during his time in Nonthaburi. He is now looking forward to reuniting with his home country after an extended absence.
