Remains of last Thai hostage in Gaza repatriated
The Straits Times
|December 11, 2025
The body of the last Thai national held hostage in Gaza since the Oct 7, 2023 attack on Israel was returned home on Dec 10, Thailand’s Foreign Ministry said.
-
The remains of Mr Sudthisak Rinthalak arrived at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport from Tel Aviv, ministry official Jeerasak Pomsuwan told AFP, more than two years after the attack by Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Mr Sudthisak was 43 and working in agriculture in southern Israel when he was killed on the day of the Hamas attack.
His body was then taken to the Gaza Strip and held there throughout the ensuing war.
While Hamas released the living hostages it held in Gaza as part of a ceasefire deal with Israel, the process of returning the remains of deceased captives has dragged on.
