Krabi – A 26-year-old Welshman, who was recently reported missing on Koh Phi Phi by British media, has been found safe in a hotel in Krabi. Contrary to earlier reports, he never was on Koh Phi Phi. It appears he avoided contact due to personal issues at home.

 

Mr Daniel had been out of touch with his family since mid-March, leading to reports that he might have vanished on Koh Phi Phi, Krabi. Local police and immigration officers launched a search, checking every hotel on the island but found no record of him staying there.

 

However, authorities located him today at 3 p.m. at a hotel on Maharaj Road in Krabi Town. Immigration and tourism officials confirmed Mr Daniel is alive and well, having checked into the hotel alone.

 

 

 

Though unharmed, Mr Daniel has been reluctant to speak with officials. Initial inquiries suggest he might have felt upset with his family, telling friends he did not wish to return home. Details of any underlying issues remain unclear.

 

Records show that Daniel arrived in Krabi Province on 22 February 2023 and had been staying in various hotels around Krabi Town, never actually visiting Koh Phi Phi as previously suggested. His most recent hotel check-in was on 22 March.

 

Immigration police have documented the case and plan to inform the embassy, which will update his family.

Crikey, this is a very strange story. 

 

These missing guys are usually found shacked up with a bird from Soi 6.

Usually? Where have you found that information? Also, what is strange with the story? His wish seem to be away from family. If have problem, that might just be what he need. He´s 26 years old, and can decide himself.

He might not want to go home, but at his age he will have little or no savings, and no job.

His stay in Thailand will be difficult without the correct visa or income.

He has no money but can afford white socks

Where does it say he has no money, for all we know at 26 he's got a trust fund, or had a huge inheritance.

[Ralf001]

Family will be pissed he has been found safe and well.

 

No gofundme Thailand trip for them !

[animatic]

Sounds like a control freak at home he wants to get free from and wanted some time to think a chill out.

 

[Woke to Sounds]

Something suspicious about this.

 

What's he hiding?

 

The cops better scrutinise this one well.

How do you think they found him and know he'd been in various other hotels in krabi?

Reporting a missing child of 11 years or under is a high priority. Reporting a missing 26 year old baby adult is not. What a waste of resources.  Looking at his appearance, he coulld go far with his good looks but instead likes to play the family issues victim.
