britgent Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Just reading a few posts about how people kind of drop off the map here has anybody heard any interesting stories about people disappearing? I mean all the way in the boonies with no connection to the outside world if you disappeared through nefarious intent who would really notice, or care? There must be loads of farangs pushing up daisies or weighted down in the nearest deep water who no one will ever be the wiser about. No problems here my landlord would track me to the end of the earth if I didn't show in a timely fashion!

pattayadingo Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Are we talking David Copperfield or Lord Lucan? Maybe Shergar too, or was he turned into fast food? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thongkorn Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 A friend of mine use to find Body's in the Jungle now and again , they where from Drug related crimes, that was a few years ago now though. I think Taksin brigade had some thing to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theblether Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I happen to know what happened to Shergar He was shot less than 30 minutes after being kidnapped as he took a raging tantrum in the horse box and was uncontrollable, the kidnappers feared being caught due to the ructions ( they couldn't move him as the horse box was swerving violently, and they were too close to the stables for comfort ) so they shot him and disposed of the corpse. When word got back to IRA Command they went mad and tried to bluff the ransom money a couple of days later, a simple request to show that days newspaper next to Shergar threw the cat amongst the pigeons and out came one of the most nefarious lines in IRA history..... " There's been an accident". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loptr Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Are we talking David Copperfield or Lord Lucan? I believe he was referring to the Jimmy Hoffa type of disappearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farma Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 A couple i can remember over the years was a guy who was chopped up, burnt and left for the tigers. Another from years ago was found sealed in a large concrete block. They were found, I dare say there are others still waiting to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooEng Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 a knew a couple of guys who vanished on the islands back in the early 90's. one was quite well publicised - i think his parents launched some kind of appeal - i seem to remember seeing something in the papers. a couple of others turned up dead after going missing - washed up on the beaches or in the jungle.... it still goes on....

NeverSure Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 There are some serious boonies in LOS along the Myanmar, Laos and Cambodian borders in particular. I'd like to know what happened to Pigeonjake. It's been 5 months since he posted, I believe. Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I'd wager that for every one "made to disappear", there are a couple of dozen that "want to disappear". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisb Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Op could be talking any country in the world. Majority would have family that would sound the alarm before to long. Seems here in Australia drugs are involved most of the time when a person goes missing. Thailand would be same case I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeverSure Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I believe that Elvis has been spotted recently in Sisaket! I was fortunate enough to see him live several times in Vegas and Reno. He was the best. So much better live than any video. No one can figure out where he is now. From Sisaket he could slip over into Cambodia and sing in a bar in Sihanoukville. ?? I hope he isn't lonesome. He was a people person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 There are no longer any "boonies" in Thailand. But I understand that a new 'Boondocks-Land' mega-attraction may open shortly, as part of the attempt to attract more high-spending hi-so tourists, probably located just-off an 8-lane motorway or high-speed passenger-railway line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samran Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 I suspect there has been more deliberate farang overnight disappearances (cutting and running over unwanted sprogs, bad debts and general insolvency) than there have been those given concrete shoes to wear. But then again, any story where the farang isn't the bad gug is barely worth starting a thread over is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can think of a sad case of a well known family and the mother met a grizzly end. It's awful to think of situations like that but in Thailand life is cheap.

Almera Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 (edited) has anybody heard any interesting stories about people disappearing? Yes, young girls being kidnapped from border villages. Very common here. Edited April 7, 2013 by Almera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
