Channel 8 host apologises for invoking spirits in cave drama

Facebook users condemned Phakkapong Udomkayarak of the Channel 8 show “Joh Praden” (“Hitting the Point”) for asking a question that could be interpreted as inferring the boy was dead and his ghost was contacting his loved ones.
Phakkapong, a usually popular host on the terrestrial digital channel that also broadcasts as Channel 27 via digital TV tuner boxes, asked the question via a phone-in interview with the worried mum.
He reacted to the criticism by posting a note saying he was sorry his question had made people uneasy.
He extended his moral support to everyone involved in the search and expressed hope the 12 missing boys and their assistant coach would soon be found safe.
