The wife of a Portuguese man, missing from his home in Koh Pha Ngan since November 17, fears he may have taken his own life.

 

The 38 year old half-Thai, half-American woman, Avalon Oneita Juliana, sought help from local police and the Portuguese Embassy in Thailand after her husband, 51 year old Daniel Joao D’Costa Ferreira Dos Santos, disappeared.

 

Santos reportedly left their shared home on Koh Pha Ngan on November 17 and never returned. His passport, luggage, and other belongings were later found in the car park of a construction materials store named Limpipong on the island.

 

Juliana informed officials that her husband had been suffering from mental illness and alcoholism. She expressed concerns that Santos might take his own life due to his struggles with mental health.


Officers from Koh Pha Ngan Police Station launched an investigation and spoke to a Thai man, Kraichok, who claimed to have encountered Santos. Kraichok told police he had seen Santos sunbathing on Chalok Lam Beach.

 

Santos was reportedly only wearing shorts and no shirt. After sunbathing, he was seen walking towards the main road of the island.

Another foreigner, who was part of the same addiction recovery group Santos attended, informed police he had seen Santos walking in the direction of Tong Sala Community, on the opposite side of the island, approximately 10 kilometres from Chalok Lam Beach.

 

Later that same day, Kraichok reported seeing Santos again at a public park near the Pha Ngan Royal Navy Ship Museum. Since then, no one has seen or heard from Santos.

 

Police circulated news of his disappearance to both locals and foreigners on the island and distributed missing person posters. Officers also requested assistance from the Phuket Tourist Police in spreading the posters in the hopes of locating Santos soon.

 

In a related incident last year, a New Zealand tourist, 56 year old Shaw Mace Bushel, went missing from his resort on Koh Pha Ngan at about 4am on 2 March. His friend, unable to find any trace of him, sought help from the Thai police.

 

Officers discovered Bushel’s motorcycle near Khom Beach, leading them to search the area. They eventually located him, but Bushel, stressed and paranoid, attempted to evade the officials. Police managed to stop him and ensured his safe rescue.

Hopefully they will find him and get him help. It’s very difficult to get physiatrist help in Thailand that really helps, not just medicates.

51 is a very fragile age. I am the same age. The age you realize absolutely no woman wants to be with you. The age when there is nothing to look forward to. The age when you are skinny but still look fat. My body looks exactly like the guy in pic minus the tats. 

 

RIP. 

 

 

The scruffy shorts don't help

Well, a psychiatrist would be more helpful.

Seems to be a lot of stressed out Farangs in the news lately leading some to commit suicide 

Maybe a bit more news on getting help should be organised  

I realise there are groups in place to get help but more information in the main tourist areas could get advertised

Organize all the news you want, the fact is there is almost zero mental health infrastructure in Thailand, particularly in terms of treatment accessible to foreigners

I'm 63 in February and nothing you said describes me. Everyday I wake up on this side of the Grass I thank My GOD for giving me another opportunity to live for him. And when my air does get turned off, it's also a non issue because eternity in heaven is awaiting those that believe. Don't take My word for it, trust God.

Probably was hopeless because that's not a real museum just a shipwreck that you're not even allowed to enter. 😄
