Help get Loukas get home safely from Thailand.
Nationwide
Last week my 18 year old nephew Loukas was arrested and reported of stealing a watch at an airport in Thailand.
After 6 nights in a high security prison he was granted bail and has been reunited with his mother. To meet bail conditions it has cost more money than is available to them, and now they will have to wait in the Surat Thani province for up to 3 months for a court hearing.
This page is for people that know the family, or want to offer their compassionate support.
These funds will help with living costs and legal costs, and return flights for both of them.
We hope he can be released and they can safely return home soon.

Update on Loukas and preparation for court proceedings. 21 August 2026
Right now, Loukas is focusing on preparing mentally and emotionally for his court appearance. We are doing our best to support him through this process and keep him hopeful and grounded.
We remain very hopeful that the court will show compassion and that Loukas will not be sentenced to prison.
We know there are still many unknowns, and we are trying to take things one day at a time.
To everyone who has donated, shared our Givealittle page, sent messages, checked in, or simply kept Loukas in your thoughts — thank you.
Your support has meant more to us than we can put into words. It has helped us get through a very frightening and overwhelming chapter.
We are now just two weeks away from court, and our hope is that this will be the beginning of Loukas being able to come home and move forward with his life.
Tash.
