A Facebook page of the Sukhothai community posted her story that went viral and caught Chotika's attention. When she met her mother at the reception home, Chotika wept and kowtowed at Nipha’s feet and hugged her. Her mother was a construction worker and had a miserable life so she gave Chotika as an adopted daughter to a construction contractor. She was told her mother returned to Phitsanulok to live with a new husband. She said she has been searching for her mother for years until she learned about her plight on Facebook.
