webfact Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 by Gregers Møller Carl Drewsen a Danish citizen and Phuket resident has been missing for about 6 years. Ever since the day he disappeared in December 2015, neither family, friends nor colleagues have heard from him. There is no indication if he is still alive. Carl is a butcher of trade and used to work in Denmark on “Grøntorvet” (The green square), a wet market in central Copenhagen. He would often visit Thailand with a close friend and coworker. The two would usually stay in Phuket at the now closed “Big A Resort” in Rawai, Phuket. Carl and his friend enjoyed their time in Thailand very much and wanted to move there permanently. When the owner of the Big A Resort, Thomas Flindt, offered them a job at his restaurant “Rundetaarn” in Patong, they both accepted the offer, pulled up stakes and moved to Phuket in 2014. In Phuket, Carl was working in the kitchen of the Rundetaarn restaurant a popular hangout place for the Danish community in Phuket. In the beginning, all was going well but the temptations of the close by Bangla Road party street started affecting the work.

It makes you wonder if he could vanish without a trace how about us??? Will the police really look for us? Do are wives or GF's really care? Do they have your pin number or keep asking for it? Hard questions? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the rape/murder of the Swiss women, flattening of the Swiss motorcycle driver, the dead GM and now this missing Dane Phuket just took the murder island title and ran with it.

Danish court might want to see an active investigation before formally declaring him dead? A recently discovered life insurance policy that might have gotten someone very excited? A long overdue warrant of arrest from the Danish Rigspolitiet? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why the sudden interest after six years. The missus needs the pin number? He's probably balls deep in ladyboy somewhere. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jimbo in Thailand Posted December 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2021 OH MY BUDDHA! As soon as I saw this photo I thought that looks like the Big A Resort, a wonderful little hideaway between Rwai and Ao Chalong bay. I used to head down from Isaan and stay there often when I first began this crazy expat sojourn back in 2004. And young Thomas, the manager, was a really nice fella. Shocked to learn that he had bought it from the crusty old German owner (hence the name Big A... Resort) at some point. So last year my Thai gf and I drove down to Phuket in late September and had planned to stay at The Big A, but sadly upon arrival we were greeted with a closed gate covered in Chinese writing. It's now a private Chinese-owned property. That's just sad as it was a great little resort nestled in a coconut grove. And also sad that this poor Danish fellow has been missing since 2015 and we're just now reading about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phuket seems to be doing well in the mysterious death category and with 250 souls lost in the 2004 tsunami they have cement their lead for a long time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone should find Joy and asked her what happened next. Based on semi-fictitious events from Jools Bar, Soi Nana, Bangkok. Sadly relocated under new management over to Ari, on the other side of the city. I never got big glassed, but I knew several of the characters who were featured in the book. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomacht8 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 (edited) Parties + Booze + gambling + girls = hedonistic lifestyle. Until the money runs out. Then follow debts + depression + loneliness + social misery. There are many who get broke this way if they don't get home in time.
