Newborn Baby Boy Abandoned at Pattaya Hospital, Authorities Launch Investigation

Newborn Baby Boy Abandoned at Pattaya Hospital, Authorities Launch Investigation

A newborn baby boy, just 4–5 days old, was found abandoned at Pattaya Patthamakun Hospital. Local authorities and medical staff are providing care while police investigate to identify the mother.

Banglamung District Chief, Mr. Phatphat Sritanyanon, and Ms. Primrita Sritanyanon, President of the Banglamung Red Cross Association, visited the hospital to check on the baby and provide supplies. The infant, temporarily named Nong Ohm by the district chief, was found in front of the delivery room. He weighed 2,886 grams and appeared to be in good health.

Dr. Wichai Thanasophon, the hospital director, confirmed that the baby had an umbilical cord clamp consistent with those used at the hospital, suggesting he may have been born there. However, CCTV footage captured a woman leaving the baby, though it remains unclear if she was the mother or someone acting on her behalf.

The case has been reported to Banglamung Police Station, which is working to identify the woman. If found, the mother may regain custody depending on legal decisions.

In the meantime, the Banglamung Red Cross Association, alongside medical and social work teams, will provide care for the baby. Plans are in place to ensure his long-term welfare, with arrangements being made for his care over the next 6–7 months.

Mr. Phatphat emphasized the child’s well-being as the top priority, stating, “We are committed to ensuring Nong Ohm grows up healthy and safe, no matter the outcome of this investigation.”

This incident highlights ongoing social challenges and the importance of support systems for struggling parents. Authorities encourage anyone with information about the case to come forward.
