Mixed up with the infamously dangerous Thais from Nakhon Sri Thamarat and the dog eating Sakhon Nakhonians.

I doubt they will find his body.

 

You really need a faster internet connection.

From Missing to Found: Danish Man Resurfaces With Girlfriend in Thailand

The baffling disappearance of 59-year-old Dane Brian Dilling Pedersen has unravelled into a love story. Discovered on Thursday in the serene district of Pak Phanang, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Pedersen was all smiles, living peacefully with his new girlfriend. Fears of foul play dissipated as the local police's swift search led them to the couple's whereabouts.

 

Before being officially reported as missing, authorities located Pedersen at his girlfriend's residence, where he'd been staying since checking out from a nearby guesthouse. Alongside his partner, he paid a visit to the local police station, joined by ScandAsia's Gregers Moller and two officers from the regional Tourist Police. Assuring everyone of his well-being, Pedersen clarified a misunderstanding with his family, confirming recent contact with his son and dismissing concerns of any distress.

 

Apologetic for the alarm caused, Pedersen stated, "I'm sorry if this has worried my family and friends in Denmark. My situation here is fantastic, and I'm very happy." The deleted Facebook page, a point of concern, was explained by Pedersen’s girlfriend in Thai, who revealed it was removed to shield his new relationship from his wife in Sakon Nakhon. Pedersen, on the other hand, cited security reasons, asserting the account had been compromised.

 

As the pieces of the puzzle fit, Pedersen is set to return to Denmark on 8 June 2025, aligning with his visa expiry the following day. His son, Steven Risager Madsen, expressed relief, ensuring gratitude for the collective efforts that resolved this unsettling episode. Pedersen's tale serves as a gentle reminder of the complexities in today’s digital age, with happy conclusions often nestled in simplicity.

Grinning idiot, all smiles and not a care in the world! Police frowning and totally pissed off at wasting their time on this frickin Romeo shacked up with his 21 year old play thing and scared about his wife in Sakhon Nakon catching up with him. A few slices short of a loaf, I rest my case. I don't know if he will be still smiling if he is unfortunate enough to  meet up with one of his girlfriend's  or wifes's "brothers".

He was looking for a thrilling adventure. 

Apparently he got it.

Sex is definitely overated. Worth a life?

I doubt it.

.maybe a BF in the background had a gambling debt, who knows but something is fishy 

[sikishrory]

Someones had a spillage

The moral of the story always let someone close to you ( son, daughter, family ) know where your going in Thailand. Most especially if you are new to Thailand, travelling alone,going to remoter parts. I think this applies, young or old.  If it's a new online person you're meeting do so in a busy town or resort. Most Thais are great people but as everywhere large scale inequality makes life tough for some.
