ANXIOUS parents have issued a reward of 20,000 baht for information that may lead to their 14-year-old daughter, who disappeared on the last night of the fair at Wat Chalong on Phuket.
Mother Subsri Namsra said that young Laongta came with the family from Ayuthaya to sell toys and balloons at the fair.
It is thought that Laongta may have developed a crush on a young man who was working at a shooting gallery nearby.
''When we told Laongta that she would have to go back to Ayuthaya at the end of the fair and return to school, she was not happy,'' Khun Subsri said.
Young Laongta's mobile phone was switched off when she vanished on February 9.
The parents say they have given photographs of their daughter to police at the Tachatchai Checkpoint, in the hope she will be spotted if she heads off the island.
