British Man Missing In Thailand

[transam]

I.O.W. means Isle of Wight where my grandmother lived for many years a delightful little piece of England sort of floating about in the sea.

One of my favourite places/watering holes. Oddly l WAS to have retired there, but thats another story.

I really think any retired man marrying a young thai should make a some kind of trust fund with trustees, rather than sign off all their assets.

Where does it say he is married to a young thai girl????

Who would marry an old one (except myself) ?

I think a man marrying any woman of any age and any nationality should keep a firm hold on his assets.

(why pick on young Thai girls?)

I have fantascies about young girls taking firm holds of my assets.

If he can find a missing Mormon, he can find anybody....

he retired a long time ago.

36 ?

I am 100% guilty. After reading the transferred all assets to Thailand of a 70 yo I automatically assumed foul play. I am not even really paranoid about Thailand (well I thought I wasn't), but just seemed suspicious. Just shows how wrong you can be when you are sure you are right, I'll have to incorporate that lesson into my overly-opinionated demenour.

Probably the poor guy just wanted to be left in peace and quite and not bothered by anyone, then suddenly he is placed in the top ten of the wanted list.

Even out here, there is no where to hide.

I feel sorry for the poor old sod.

I can certainly empathize with someone wanting to do as he did, but there's a good lesson in all of this for everyone.

If you're going to drop out.... at least inform family and/or closest friends of your intentions and don't just drop completely off the radar without letting at least someone know of your plans/desires.

All the hubbub could have been avoided if even just one or two people knew of his situation. If you just drop out without letting anyone know, people who care about you are going to be justifiably concerned.

Not advisable if you owe money! maintenance, child support.......obviously not the case here, but people drop out for different reasons Buchholz

Not if he was from the UK, maintenance and child support are only levied on earned income.

Once you are retired and living on pension or savings you are off the hook.

He is still alive and sharing a flat in Cleethorpes with Elvis.

This reply is as relative as some of the preceeding ones.
