greenchair Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 He'll turn up dead or alive soon. As they do in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does that mean he could be either dead or alive? And if no trace of him is ever found, will the coroner eventually rule that he is likely to be dead or alive? Hmmm ... perhaps Irish folk have a different state of being that I haven't heard of before -- pickled in Guinness and therefore in a state of suspended animation????

dotpoom Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 At this stage a bit of respect, if nothing else, might be a good start, rather than attempts at clever soundbites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy50 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The discovery of yet another foreign corpse found in mysterious circumstances pending. Too many here. But let's hope he turns up safe and sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenny2017 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Strange that his passport and card were found in his bathroom. Hidden? Let's hope that he's alive, somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're referring to my post, I think you missed the point. It was a friendly jibe at the previous post, not an attempt at disrespect. I would have thought that that was obvious. Like everyone else, I too hope the man is safe and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toshiba66 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Four days is not a very long time to warrant mounting a search operation but maybe we are not being told all the facts. Maybe he has taken off to an Island somewhere or even Pattaya. Sounds like his accommodation is cheap enough to keep while away if there is no room safe.

claffey Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Wow. Rolling out the stereotypes here. Just because he's Irish doesn't mean he's drunk! I hope he turns up safe and well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They obviously know him well and as you say have reason to be concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon789561 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 after making the mistake the last time of saying it's far too early to report an adult missing in thailand then to find he seemingly had some serious health issues which was probably why they were so concerned, i'll just say on this one i hope he turns up safe and well.

Over twenty-five years ago when I first visited Thailand, I'd read about scams, thefts from hotel rooms, etc. I didn't think trusting the safe in reception was a good idea. Perhaps I was just too paranoid on my first visit. When I went out in the evenings, I would leave my valuables in my money belt hanging on the towel rail in the bathroom, covered by the towel. I thought it could be the last place someone might look if rifling through my room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khun Paul Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 The fact that his Passport and Bank card were found apparently in his room, means that wherever he went it was for only a short while, hence the short time to set up a search, he could very well be fine , however the circumstances state that another scenario is possible even likely. As per usual the exact location is not divulged so anyone out there in that area will not be aware. Safe return is hoped for but caution is requested on that score.

The only mystery is why so many westerners come here and get so drunk or drugged up chasing ladies of questionable virtue that they lose the ability to take care of themselves as responsible adults. Guys need to stop behaving like 12 year old boys and they might stay safer here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shackleton Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Find it strange to leave the Passport and Credit card in the bathroom The hotel could provide more information did he hand in his room key before going out missing for 4 days on a bender ?

Gandtee Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Maybe he went out without his papers and couldn't remember the place he was staying. Could've met up with a voluptuous lady, or whatever and is making the most of it. I hope so.With the proliferation of mobile phones people get out of their cots if some of us are not available 24 hours a day. Let's hope he turns up. With or without his cash.
