Missing 7-Year-Old Boy Found Safe After 29-Hour Search in Kalasin
A seven-year-old boy who went missing in Kalasin province has been found alive after a 29-hour search operation.
On October 19, 2026, a seven-year-old boy known as 'Boss' was located safe near a creek, approximately 30 kilometers from where he was last seen. According to Khaosod Online, the child had gone missing on the afternoon of October 18 while accompanying his grandparents to a rice field in Ban Kut Bod, Song Plueai sub-district, Khao Wong district, Kalasin province.
The disappearance triggered an extensive search involving local authorities, rescue teams, and volunteers. Reports indicate that the boy became lost after chasing a dog that had taken his shoe. He was eventually discovered by a local resident who was fishing in the area. The child reportedly approached the resident to ask for food before being identified and brought to safety. He has since been transported to a hospital for medical evaluation.
For residents and travelers in rural areas, this incident highlights the importance of maintaining close supervision of children in open fields or forested regions, where terrain can be disorienting. While the boy has been recovered, authorities have not yet released a full report on his physical condition following his 29 hours in the elements. The community remains relieved by the successful outcome of the search operation.
