Popular Post webfact Posted December 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2021 Carl D. who went missing in December 2015 is now found inform the Nordic Liaison Office in Bangkok. by Lasse Sandholdt Danish citizen Carl D. who went missing in Phuket in December 2015 is now no longer missing. The joint office of the Nordic police forces in Bangkok informs ScandAsia that Carl has been located and is alive and well. The story began when Carl moved to Thailand from Denmark in 2014. 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. According to Thomas, Carl began partying too much which eventually made him neglect his work at the restaurant. At the same time, Carl met a Thai woman, Sirikanya, that he entered into a relationship with. Together with her, Carl also started gambling. Ultimately, Carl’s lack of attention to his work forced his employer to terminate the employment.

Plenty of work to keep the armchair detectives busy for a while: The Liaison office will not comment on where Carl was located or what further action the discovery of him would entail. If he was located in Thailand, it is likely that he has been overstaying and he will therefore be deported back to Denmark.It is also unclear exactly what motive Carl had to disappear, where he has been all these years and what he has been doing. It seems however apparent that he wished to remain cut off from his former life. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm impressed. Didn't know something like that existed. Glad, they found the Dane.

Cabradelmar Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 So he is a fraud that faked his disappearance... Call it like it is. He went missing because he wanted too. Nothing nefarious on anyone's part but his own. Being about to stay hidden for 7 years is quite the accomplishment. Now deport him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some have a reason..i think i know why.Some norwegians too dissaper because they have a warrant and dont want to do their jailtime in norway.I had a jailtime 21 days.That time i worked in singapore.I called the police and told where i am and what im doing.They just laugth and told me that no way they will pay my fligth to norway.They just asked me to let them know when im back.So i did after 3 years in malaysia(i worked offshore)When i arrived back i noticed them and they gave me 30 hours communtyservice instead.I painted a museum outside.My case was mild.Today its not on my criminalrecord anymore.This was 10 year ago. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missing from who is more the question. Who needed to find him and why the obsession of trying to find him? It should have been obvious to his friend that if was still alive he was on overstay, and all he has succeeded in doing is putting him on the radar of the immigration police and people he owes money to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
