Family of Deceased YouTuber 'Hlun Solo' Seeks Repatriation Assistance
The family of Thai YouTuber Baworntat Pengsuk, known as 'Hlun Solo,' is working with local authorities in Kalasin to facilitate the return of his body from Georgia.
On July 31, 2026, the family of Baworntat Pengsuk, a popular YouTuber professionally known as 'Hlun Solo,' visited the Somdet District Office in Kalasin province to initiate the legal process for repatriating his remains from Georgia. Baworntat passed away while abroad, and his family is currently coordinating with local officials to secure the necessary identity verification documents required by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Wirat Ratchalee, the Somdet District Chief, confirmed that his office is providing full administrative support to the family. This includes certifying identity and residency documents, which are essential for the consular process to move the body back to Thailand for traditional funeral rites. The district office is assisting with both physical and digital documentation to expedite the transfer.
For residents and travelers, this case highlights the complex legal and administrative procedures involved when a Thai national passes away in a foreign country. The family is currently awaiting the official autopsy results from Georgian authorities. They have indicated that they may request a secondary autopsy if the initial findings are deemed unclear or insufficient. Additionally, local authorities have expressed a willingness to assist the family regarding the management of the deceased's intellectual property. Further updates are pending the completion of the international documentation process and the release of the autopsy report.
