Their fast lasted 53 days.

The two are currently undergoing treatment at Thammasat Hospital, under close medical supervision. Doctors remain concerned “about the functioning of their kidneys and other organs that had been affected by their lengthy fast without food or water.”

Tawan’s post stated “that they were both responsive and alert as well as communicating clearly. While they were now out of danger they would be undergoing medical treatment for sometime at this hospital.”
