Benjarong Krasaesin told The Nation on Tuesday that she had never met her father during the 15 years since her parents’ separation. When she was young, she did not miss her father because she received good care from her grandma, whom she called “mom”, she said. She decided to start searching on Facebook for her father two months ago, using his name, Thawee Krasin, as key words. Her father told her that he was working in Bangkok and would be free to travel to Udon Thani in two months’ time during Buddhist Lent, when he could get time off for a holiday. Her grandmother said that although the father had never visited the girl since she started taking care of her 15 years ago, she was happy that her granddaughter had been able to locate him after all this time.
