She claimed that in India, she and her son are living a very isolated life without any family care, medical help, and maintenance. Thus, they wanted to go back to their hometown. 

She also said that Thailand was much safer than India because it reported the much lower case as compared to India. Where India has reported 32063 deaths on June 18, 2020, Thailand just reported 58 deaths. So, they will be safe if they shift to Thailand in this serious pandemic.
