Four members of the Wang Thong district group at Phitsanulok, along with their 3 dogs, were found after being missing since May 12th. The group, which was lost for five days in the Phitsanulok forest, were spotted yesterday by a police helicopter. Pol General Krisana Pattanacharoen, Royal Thai Police's deputy spokesman, said yesterday the helicopter reported the location of the group, and they were rescued soon after, according to Thailand Nation.
The helicopter did not have enough space to land, coordinates were radioed back to ground teams who located them all and safely took them out of the forest.
"Since last Tuesday police officers have been working with local authorities on foot and in a helicopter to trace the missing persons."
"Thanks to the smoke from a small bonfire they made, we discovered them at around 3 pm on Sunday in the forest on Lam Phad Mountain located in Wang Nok Ann sub-district of Wang Thong district."
The party, a male and two females, a 14-year-old adolescent and their three dogs, went into the forest to collect fruit and leaves for other forest items.
When they were safely retrieved they were taken to Phitsanulok Hospital for a physical checkup.
