According to a report from the Chiang Mai Zoo, the giant panda Lin Hui in Thailand unfortunately passed away at 1:10 a.m. on April 19, 2023, local time in Thailand. On the 18th, Lin Hui began to feel unwell. The Chiang Mai Zoo paid close attention and actively carried out treatment under the guidance of experts from the China Giant Panda Conservation Center. Lin Hui eventually passed away due to ineffective rescue efforts. During the rescue process, the Chinese Consulate General in Chiang Mai sent personnel to the scene to coordinate and follow up on relevant work. It is reported that experts from China and Thailand will launch a joint investigation into the cause of Lin Hui's death as soon as possible and make every effort to deal with the aftermath.

It is understood that Lin Hui is a female giant panda who was born in September 2001 at the China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Pandas in Wolong to parents Panpan and Tangtang. Also born at the same time was his twin brother Lin Yang. In October 2003, Lin Hui and another male giant panda Chuang Chuang were loaned to the Chiang Mai Zoo in Thailand for a 10-year lease period. In November 2005, the zoo held a "wedding" for them. In 2007, the zoo tried to artificially inseminate it, but it was unsuccessful. In the past 20 years of living in Thailand, Lin Hui has been deeply loved by the Thai people and has become an envoy of friendly exchanges between the people of China and Thailand.
