No "missing person" reports filed, either by family, friends here or overseas?

Seems strange.

Have they checked his fingerprints against the Immigration data base yet? I suppose it depends when this person entered the country.. 

Sad ???? to see no ones come forward. Like me on my Thai travels probably there on his own. 

As a single man with no family I can see how it would take ages for anyone to see this guy or me missing if I were this fella.

If employed, or renting someone there would eventually tell someone Of his absence but that could take a months .
