Summary: Nong Kwang LGBTQ+ Flies to Nakhon Pathom Clinic for Rib Technique Rhinoplasty Before Passing Away

Summary: 'Nong Kwang,' an LGBTQ+ influencer, flew to celebrate Songkran and undergo rib technique rhinoplasty at a clinic in Nakhon Pathom before dying. Suspicious CCTV footage and a missing server raise concerns.

What was intended as an effort to look better turned into a permanent farewell when 29-year-old LGBTQ+ influencer 'Nong Kwang' flew from Australia to have her nose corrected at a clinic in Nakhon Pathom province but ultimately lost consciousness and died. Police found many suspicious details, especially that all CCTV cameras in the clinic were turned to face the walls and the server storing footage was missing without a trace.

Came intending to celebrate Songkran and scheduled a nose correction.

  • A Facebook user posted a still image expressing deep condolences for a younger sister who decided to undergo rib technique rhinoplasty. They are now awaiting the clinic's explanation to reveal the truth and ensure fairness for all parties.
  • Investigation revealed the deceased is Nong Kwang Theerapat Phumma, a 29-year-old LGBTQ+ influencer who flew from Australia intending to celebrate Songkran and visit her grandparents in Phetchabun.
  • After celebrating Songkran, on 21 Apr 2026, Nong Kwang had an appointment for rib technique rhinoplasty at a clinic in Nakhon Pathom province costing approximately 150,000 baht, traveling alone.
  • At 23:40 on the same day, an ambulance was called to the clinic to transfer Nong Kwang to a major hospital due to critical condition—she lost consciousness during the rhinoplasty procedure. A doctor from the clinic accompanied her to the hospital.


Timeline of the rhinoplasty procedure.

  • On 21 Apr, Nong Kwang arrived at the clinic at noon. She sent a chat message to her sister’s boyfriend around 1 pm saying she had arrived and was lying in the room, admitting she was 'afraid.'
  • At 17:00, the doctor began the surgery.
  • At 20:00, Nong Kwang's condition deteriorated, and the doctor had to perform CPR and administer life-saving drugs five times, but her condition did not improve. She was then intubated.
  • About three hours later, the clinic called emergency services (1669) to summon an ambulance, which arrived at 23:40 to take Nong Kwang to the hospital.

Relatives question the cause of death.

  • Nong Kwang's younger brother said she usually worked in Australia but returned this year to celebrate Songkran in Phetchabun.
  • On the night of 21 Apr 2026, relatives were informed that Nong Kwang was transferred to the hospital with low blood pressure, brain oxygen deprivation, intubation, and she passed away early morning on 22 Apr 2026.
  • Nong Kwang's boyfriend said the clinic called during surgery to inform that she needed to be transferred to a hospital due to low blood pressure and brain oxygen deprivation, requiring intubation to save her life.
  • Her father said he received a call from the hospital reporting that her condition was poor with no response. He immediately traveled to the hospital to see her. He only knew she came to have nose surgery at the clinic and was unsure what to do next.
  • Relatives suspect why there was a three-hour delay from when Nong Kwang's condition worsened to when the ambulance arrived after 11 pm, questioning the clinic's slow response in sending her for further treatment.


Clinic doctor's claims.

  • The clinic doctor told Nong Kwang's family that her deteriorating condition was due to drug use prior to the surgery.
  • The family does not believe this claim and is confident it is untrue.
  • After Nong Kwang's death, the doctor indicated the preliminary cause was brain hypoxia leading to multiple organ failure.
  • Relatives tried contacting the clinic; calls were answered but not returned.

Suspicious CCTV footage leads to temporary 7-day clinic closure.

  • On 22 Apr, police from Mueang Nakhon Pathom station and provincial public health officials raided the clinic immediately.
  • Initially, the clinic holds a valid license since 2018, but the treatment timeline raised concerns.
  • All CCTV cameras in the clinic were pointed at the walls, and the server storing the footage was missing.
  • Police stated it is unclear if the server was removed or never existed. Clinic staff said the cameras were turned toward the walls because they were 'broken.'
  • Police will verify whether this explanation is true.
  • The provincial health office ordered the clinic to close temporarily for seven days for investigation. The clinic has not yet provided any explanation regarding the incident.
  • If the clinic provides an explanation, it will be reported accordingly.
  • Nong Kwang's body was sent to Siriraj Hospital for a detailed autopsy to determine the cause of death.
  • After the autopsy, the family will bring the body back to Phetchabun province for the funeral rites.
