Cops identified her body by a distinctive leg tattoo

Kaikan moved to Thailand to work in a restaurant after her modelling career dried up and she needed to financially support her family back home.

She would regularly post images and videos online of her new life and share her experiences with her family and friends.

Until she mysteriously stopped posting anything in April 2023, causing a huge panic in Thailand for what had happened.

Kaikan’s family sought help from the Thai Embassy this January to search for her. Despite help from the Thai community in Bahrain, they still could not locate the missing woman.

On April 18, the Thai Embassy in Bahrain informed Kaikan’s family that the body of an unidentified Southeast Asian female had been kept in the Salmaniya Medical Complex morgue since last year.

A tattoo on the woman’s leg reportedly identified her as the missing Thai worker. The cause of death was stated as ‘acute lung and heart failure due to alcohol poisoning’.
