One source

Panupat 'Bas' Sukanlayaruk, the creator behind the travel channel Go Went Go, has responded to public criticism regarding his decision not to post a tribute to the late YouTuber 'Hlun Solo' on his main page.

Following the tragic death of popular travel YouTuber 'Hlun Solo' in Georgia, a controversy emerged online questioning why the prominent Thai travel page 'Go Went Go' did not publish a public memorial post.

In response to the backlash, Panupat 'Bas' Sukanlayaruk, the founder of Go Went Go, issued a clarification on his personal Facebook account. Bas explained that he was deeply saddened by the loss, noting that he had already shared his condolences publicly via his personal profile immediately after learning the news. He emphasized that he views expressing grief as a sensitive and personal matter, which is why he chose to communicate his feelings through his private channel rather than the main business page.

Bas also took the opportunity to express his gratitude to the teams and volunteers involved in the search and rescue efforts for Hlun Solo.

For travelers and followers of the Thai creator community, this incident highlights the evolving expectations regarding how public figures manage personal grief versus professional branding. While the situation has been clarified by the creator, the incident serves as a reminder of the intense scrutiny faced by travel influencers in the digital age. No further updates regarding the circumstances of the YouTuber's passing in Georgia have been provided by this source.
