Chotika Katesit finds her destitute mother on Wdnesday, after 30 years of being apart. Ms Chotika had earlier gone to Si Satchanalai in search of her mother, but found only her auntie-in-law - who had no idea where her mother might be. Upon seeing Ms Nipa on Wednesday, Ms Chotika rushed to hug her, and gleefully informed centre staff that she was indeed Ms Nipa’s daughter. Ms Chotika said her father was shot dead when she was three years old, so Ms Nipa took her with her to Bangkok and got a job on a construction site. Sisuda Ploypradub, director of Phitsanulok Protection Centre for the Destitute, said the centre was happy for Ms Nipa, whose daughter had shown adequate proof of their relationship.
