A foreigner took to social media to seek help after his British friend went missing in Chiang Mai province in northern Thailand.

 

Kastro Freeman, a member of a Facebook group called Chiang Mai News in English, shared a picture of his missing friend, 46 year old Dominic Boyle, on Wednesday, April 26, with a caption that said…

 

“Howdy all, our friend, my housemate Dom has been missing for about a week now. He hasn’t passed through immigration, the police haven’t any information and his phone has been turned off. He wasn’t in the best head space when we last heard from him. Last seen around April 20 in various places, Loi Kroh and surrounding. If you wouldn’t mind sharing. Thanks.”

 

According to Channel 7 report, the man was last seen around Loi Kroh Road and the surrounding areas near Chiang Mai Night Bazaar.

 

A Thai woman named Tangmo, who works at a restaurant in the Loi Kroh area, reported to the media that Boyle was a regular customer, known to the staff as “Uncle Dom.” She noted that his last visit was on April 16 when he arrived on his motorcycle.

Pai bender perhaps.

Let's hope he's just found a new love and he's just totally loved up, you know how it is.

"The Loi Kroh neighbourhood, where Boyle was last seen, is a well-known red-light area in Chiang Mai. "

I would be concerned too, if I was his friend. Maybe he raked up a bill, that was suddenly larger than he was able to pay, or a prostitute had an alternative way to get money from the customer??

Many years ago, I sat down with a Hill tribe guy, and had a smoke of a little clay pipe.......rushing back to falang land seemed less important after a few of those!

Many years ago - before the wife (as she's looking over my shoulder) - I met a very 'amenable' lady in Pattaya and we went off to her home town in Phetchaboon or somewhere, stayed for a week or so, did not tell my friends as it was not important to tell them. If every foreigner that went 'missing' got reported, this site would just be a 'missing persons' board

Man gets off plane, looses ability to have rational thoughts. Shows up again in a month with a smile on his face , broke and planning his next trip.

As they say from the day a man is born his brain keeps developing up until the day he gets of his flight in Thailand.

Hey, anything could have happened, heart attack, accident, robbed and beaten, food poisoning ( yes, seafood left me practically unconscious in my bathroom for over 2 days) . I just hope that it’s something less dangerous to this man’s health. The lack of empathy here is disgusting.

All hopes are that he turns up in a national park with a headache.

But, was he another victim of the 100,000 small kitty purse!

It does seem at the moment, that a lot of foreigners are losing their lives in LOS. Do we have another serial killer on the loose?

Is there more to LOS than meets they eyes of criminals hiding.

I heard that an expat was found dead in an apartment in Soi 6 Moon Muang earlier in the week.

Unsure who it was, but a possible contender. The police would have this information by now anyway.

RIP Soi 6 Expat.

Good to have friends who care and warn the public. Hoping that the man will return in good shape.

Same here, last time I was up in the hills there was an undercover police officer with in spitting distance just waiting for the farang to head back. I would not even remotely think about it now. All they are looking for now is a big payday from a stupid farang.  Those days are gone for good.

Says he wasn't in the best head space when last seen. Seems like most here.
