Air force spokesman Pongsak Semachai told reporters Wednesday that unmanned aerial vehicles have been deployed over Doi Inthanon, the country’s highest mountain, to look for Kinya Nakamura, 82.
Nakamura was reported missing by his son on Monday after he reportedly failed to return from a hike in the mountain woods.
Rescue workers, police and park rangers are also searching for the Japanese tourist, who was described as a healthy and experienced hiker.
