Police have found the possible whereabouts of a "missing" family of four whose relatives lost contact with them before Songkran. They flew from Suvarnabhumi airport to Istanbul on the night of April 10.
Police said immigration police in Sukhothai checked to see if Nirut and Narumon Boonchu, both 41, and their children, aged 12 and 7, had left the country.
It is unclear whether they are still in Istanbul.
They have not been heard from since leaving their home on April 6.
The information provided by the immigration office showed the family flew to Turkey and have not yet returned to Thailand.
Police said Mr Nirut had since contacted his relatives to inform them the family was safe.
However, the oldest daughter, who is studying in Chiang Mai and remains in Thailand, said she has not had any contact with them.
Police suspect the family could have fled due to them being about 10 million baht in debt.
Officers also found the couple's pickup truck at a used car dealership in Udon Thani. After selling it, they used a white Toyota Altis, which is now parked at their home.
Police are continuing with their investigations.
