Jingya Sae Jao told police Mrs Gao travelled to Thailand after breaking up with her husband. Â She appeared to be under stress and often separated from the tour group to be alone.
The tour guide said “Initially, I started looking for her myself and asked zoo staff to help check CCTV footage, which suggested her last position was around the crocodile area. So I decided to alert police.”
Officers began searching for Miss Gao on Sunday night, but the operation was called off after a few hours amid heavy rain. She was wearing a white T-shirt, red shorts and a white wide-brimmed hat.
Monday, officials from various agencies including the Immigration Bureau joined the effort to locate the missing woman.
Pol Chanapat said footage from the 122 security cameras installed around the zoo was being examined in the hope of locating her.
