Nearly 200 join search for missing 7-year-old boy in Kalasin

Nearly 200 officials, rescue workers, and local residents are currently joining forces in a search effort for a seven-year-old boy, Nong Boss, who went missing in Kalasin province on 18 October 2026. The young boy, known as "Nong Boss," disappeared while visiting a rice field with his grandparents in Khao Wong district. He was last seen around 13:00, and his family realized he was missing at 14:00.

Since then, rescue teams, including the Muen Hin rescue team, Asok and Muen Hin diving teams, and local officials, have been scouring the area, focusing on nearby water sources due to Nong Boss's habit of using fishing nets and strainers to catch aquatic creatures. The search resumed on 19 October, with over 200 participants combing the rice fields, surrounding areas, and nearby hills.

Despite the extensive search, the boy has not been found yet. A traditional ceremony was held on the morning of 19 October to symbolically open the forest and seek the safe return of the young boy.
