The family of Sudthisak Rinthalak in northeastern Thailand is preparing to receive his remains after he was killed by militants in Gaza. Sudthisak was among 47 hostages whose bodies were returned as part of a ceasefire agreement, bringing an end to his family's long wait and hope for his safe return. His brother Thepporn has spent the past two years fulfilling promises made to Sudthisak, but says none of it matters without him there. The family's experience highlights the risks faced by Thai workers abroad and serves as a somber warning for others considering work in conflict zones.
