The case attracted widespread concern and prompted a visit by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, while His Majesty the King sent the boy a vase of flowers and gifts at the weekend. 
The boy was discharged on Monday and is due to return for a follow-up with his family on Wednesday after which they will fly home, taking with them gifts that have been showered on him by locals and officials.
