Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha ordered security authorities to check border crossings and search for former prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Friday, commenting "I thought she was brave enough to show up", after she failed to appear for the ruling in her trial.
Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Prawit Wongsuwon said it was likely Ms Yingluck had already left the country.
Her lawyer filed a motion claiming that Ms Yingluck was sick as result of Meniere's disease, with symptoms of dizziness and severe headaches, and could not travel to the court. He did not present a medical certificate.
The court ruled that "...it was not convincing that the defendant was sick to the extent of being unable to travel to the court."
It issued a bench warrant for Ms Yingluck's arrest and seized her 30 million baht bail bond.
Asked if Ms Yingluck was still in the country, Gen Prayut said, "There is no such report... We are looking for her."
