I might be missing something, but how do the family etc know he’s been missing after 24 hours ?

Probably because he was, unusually, uncontactable, don't you think?

[Shop mak]

2 male suspects and 1 female suspects, none are talking.

 

The investigating police have uncovered an irregular financial transaction totalling over 2 million Baht.

Follow the money.

 

Business transaction gone wrong?

Young gf/wife together with a new lover, behind this?

Can only speculate at this point, but RTP will solve this case within this week.

He might be over the border or in hiding. 

My wife told me his phone signal was picked up near the Cambodian border, but I haven't read that anywhere.

[Bangkok Barry]

 Channel 7 added that another woman, whose nationality was not reported, was questioned before the foreigners, but she also refused to provide information.

 

In the photo she's wearing a mask, so probably a Thai still living in 2021.

Yesterday I read that you can't be an agent or a broker as a foreigner. This German guy is a real estate agent, is that not illegal?

Least of anyone's  concern on if his business in Thailand is legal .

Is he still alive is more the question.

I believe one can be a managing director of a business.I've seen that title on many farang business cards.

They also seemed to hold themselves in high esteem...Lonely at the top. lol

Theres ton of real estate businesses in Pattaya with farang names attached?

There looks to be a Cambodian angle to this story transfers from his account to a Cambodian account and his phone pinging there also (uncorroborated) the plot thickens ????

Thai news identifies them as being three German nationals connected to the Outlaws motorcycle gang

 

At this rate, could be case solved by Tuesday

It's mentioned in the OP.

The location of his mobile phone signal was last traced to Sa Kaeo province in Isaan.

Makes you think, especially with family so quick to offer 3 million baht reward. Says they know something sinister. You don't offer that in the space of 24 hours for no good reason.

3. English is the only permitted language anywhere on ASEAN NOW, except within the Thai language forum, where using Thai is allowed. Short Thai translations of technical terms are permitted in specialty forums. While we make allowances for members who do not speak English as their first language, we expect everyone to make an effort to post in a manner that allows others to understand their posts. As an international forum we have members from many countries in the world, and English is not the first language of every poster.

No, it's much more important to be content with what you have. At 62, with a considerable amount of money, one must think about living in peace and not investing again to increase wealth...! I hope everything turns out for the best.

Within certain limitations there are still always choices and possibilities. You'll never know what your opportunities might be if you don't explore each and every possibility.
