webfact Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Daily News Thai Caption: Search party mobilized Daily News reported that a Thai wife was lighting joss-sticks as many rescue teams mobilized in search for a French pensioner, aged 70, who went missing in the Khao E-To area of Prachinburi, central Thailand. The wife said that her husband was into going off on his own for adventures in the wild. He appeared to have done this while she was out eating. He had set off at about midday and had gone to the top of Khao E-to. His Yamaha bike was found there. The last contact with a relative was at 5 pm when the missing man said he was going for a jungle trek. Picture: Daily News Rescue teams from many organisations and agencies were on the scene through the night coordinating several search parties. But so far the man - named as Cheera G. (name transliterated from Thai and possibly wrong) has not been located. He had no food or water, reported the media, something he had said in the phone call. More on this story as we hear of it. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2023-03-27 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post kidneyw Posted March 27, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2023 This seems to have been happening a lot recently and not always old farts. They seem to take it for granted the effort, time and cost of these rescue operations. Not to mention the worry they put friends and family through. Why can they not be content with staying in a bar all day and getting inebriated the way a waster like me does? 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they not have search dogs in Thailand, or do the joss-sticks really work that well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe depression at seeing all the 50-65 year old men running off with the 70 year old desired women ? Maybe he should just try beach road night walk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 66.5, which is quite close to this chaps age, and if I qualify per your nomenclature then I protest most vigorously, well as vigorously as an old fart can, to being a possible candidate for said descriptor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hotchilli Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Nothing against a 70 year old enjoying his outdoor pursuits, but maybe he should consider a few safety tips in the future, like telling people exactly where he's going, when he's going to return, and maybe even take a mobile phone along with the location feature switched on. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
