The Corrections Department is working with police and local officials and combing the area.
Naras added that the prisoner would face further jail time when he was caught and that anymore found to have helped him would be severely punished. Members of the public with information should call Songkhla province prison at (074) 336 069. A reward of Bt200,000 is being offered.
