PHUKET: Tourist Police have confirmed that the foreign man and Thai woman reported as seen camping in a remote location near where Polish tourist Mateusz Juszkiewicz, 26, and Thai national Werakan Siriprakon, 23, from Nakhon Sawan, were last seen are not the missing kayak couple.

 

The confirmation came yesterday (Dec 25) after police found that the couple seen camping in the area were Frenchman Jeremy Boris Manchon, 32, of Marseille, and his partner Kongkeo Hienglangtham, 25, from Laos.

 

The couple were tracked down after Mayor Aroon yesterday reported that rumours had been circulating among local residents in Rawai that a couple who looked like Mr Juszkiewicz and Ms Werakan were seen camping with a tent near Bamboo Cape about one kilometer from where the missing couple were last seen, about 500 metres from Promthep Cape.

As thought from start! Just a lot of talk about nothing. Why change the standard procedures?

Sacre bleu! False alarm, yet not an alarm. Alarmed that the other couple are still "missing". I confew!
