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. 

True, but where's the fun in that?

I hope he turns up safe and well 

But 4 days 24hours should suspect something not right 

Passport and keycard not something you leave behind really

As we all know too well Foreigners have to carry passport with them

If you don't know why people (not only Westerners) come here, get smashed and chase the girls I can only assume you are an asexual tee-total bible-basher that gets confused easily.  Have you never seen the brain depository on arrivals? 

 

I don't know too many 12 year-old boys that behave in this way though, do you?

Irishman? Has anybody checked the bars?

im no detective but i would be checking the places what have Guinness on tap

 

a search operation is underway being co-ordinated by his brother, i get that but how about giving some information about this search operation; scope, organisation... especially how/who to contact should anyone have any information regarding this man

 

this would be easily available common sense information to include in the original posting would it not?

 

if the writer can't spot this omission surely the  sub ed should?!

Shameful, callous and insensitive comment. I hope you never turn up in my neck of the woods.

No , I feel sure there are many from many countries living in Patts that have mislaid their passports.

Smart comment. What other way can one turn up anywhere?

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. 

Stereotyping happens for a reason.... and maybe posters referencing any stereotypical behavior are actually hoping that this bloke is a true irisher, who will turn up after the mother of all benders.... alive, vs island alternative.

I don't understand why neither of the linked articles have any mention of where in BKK his hotel is.  BKK is huge.  If they said Sukhumvit for example, at least the people who live around Sukhumvit might be more inclined to keep an eye open.

4 days for an average irishman on a bender and not knowing where he is, let alone other people knowing where he is might not be out of the ordinary..... hope all works out well for him.

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????

 

be careful what you are saying. It sounds a bit sneery.

And what if he doesn't turn up dead or alive? 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????
 
:crazy:
Schrödinger's Irishman?

If he's kidnapped by the Thai girlfriend may not appear , but if he is wanted for stealing a Chang beer from 7-11 will be found before i finish writing this message

I somehow linked the wrong quote to my message below. It was about why would he travel without his passport. Sorry.

 

I never take mine away with me. If I need ID for check in then I use my Thai drivers licence. Maybe he has one??

Of course hes drunk . Didnt you see the mugshot ?

Not long ago we need to search the area below the balconies, canal banks but now we also need to search the refrigerators, just in case!

Exactly . And whats the point in coming all the way to Thailand to be responsible . ? Cant you do that in Luton . I think you are in the wrong frigging country everyone else is here for the drinking and whoring .

He's probably shacked up with some bar girl after hitting the piss.  Maybe he's drunk.  :shock1:

yes this is what everyone said about the man who when missing in Cha Am last month. Everyone disrespecting the man and his family who read these comments. Saying he was on a "piss" and having sex with a ladyboy.

 

He turned up dead.

 

The mods should delete all negative comments on these missing persons stories.  

 

Does anyone have any helpful information about this man?

Got it, last place I would look is under someone's wet, manky towel.

Shrodinger's cat again; would depend a lot on what I wanted to find. :stoner:

 

So the brother is in Thailand too? Tourist both? Anybody that actually knows him hoping he is alive and well? Lots we don't know. Hope he is found soon.

If he doesn't turn up dead /alive,,,,,Than he Will be Missing   Won't he ,  :thumbsup:

Given the light hearted banter about a missing tourist who turned up dead recently, it is best to keep quiet until we can either applaud his safe return or sympathise with his family if the worst happens.

Looks like Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park in soi 22.....  

 

Hope it all turns out well and that he has just found the bar in Thailand that pours a good pint of Guinness and got carried away checking the samples .

I hope he is well, who would go visit another town without his passport and bankcard? Hopefully he is staying with a nice lass he met. 

So the guy had cash and left his passport and one card in the room?   Do all you expats  always take your passport everywhere?   I rarely take mine out for the night.   Or even anytime.   I thought a photo copy was ok to have in the wallet?    Best wishes this story has a happy ending!!
