A Facebook search reunited a mother and son who were separated without contact for 33 years, the pair said on Thursday.
Vipavadee Thisorn, 54, and Parinya Thisorn, 36, met for the first time in three decades on Wednesday at Thailand’s southern city of Hat Yai.
Their meeting came three days after Vipavadee searched for her son on Facebook and found him, after several previous unsuccessful attempts.
Vipavadee, who separated from her husband, Parinya’s father, when he was 3-years-old, said she was too young at the time to take responsibility.
She had tried to reconnect with her son over the years. “I started the conversation on Facebook with my son. He was not sure who I was at first and asked personal questions like his father’s name and my nickname.
“Once we both realised we are mother and son, we both burst into tears,’’ Vipavadee said. (dpa/NAN)
