Kittiya Thuengsaeng thought her 28-year-old boyfriend was among the almost 40 Thais killed in Hamas’s deadly assault on Israel last month.
But on Friday night Thai officials shocked her with news so good it seemed impossible.
“I couldn’t believe my eyes,” she told AFP, describing the moment she saw a photograph of Wichai Kalapat after he was released from weeks in captivity.
“I had a chat with him in the morning. He was still smiling. He told me he was safe.”
