LivinginKata Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 So he doesn't have to report where he is staying every night to immigration like all other foreigners?Wait, what... I'm meant to report every night where I'm staying? Genuinely, is that meant to be a thing? I've lived here five or six years and never heard of that. It's the law - all foreigners must be registered by the 'housemaster' to immigration, even for just one night.

Ulic Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 He needs a smack for causing his parents so much grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecee10 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 A strange story with perhaps a few pieces of the jigsaw missing. It's his life and I guess he can do what he wants with it. Reminds me of stories of people being influenced by quasi-religious sects and just leaving their past behind. It's been tough on his parents regardless. Hopefully they will not go through any more torture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee b Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I still dont understand that, if he has been in touch with his parents ( after all the worry they have been through ) Why could he not give them more information such as WHERE HE IS !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smotherb Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 So he doesn't have to report where he is staying every night to immigration like all other foreigners?Who says he is in Thailand? BTW, foreigners do not have to report to immigration where they are staying, that is the responsibility of the accommodation. Really? Doesn't immigration ask where you will be staying when you arrive, and if you have a long-term visa, are you not supposed to report your whereabouts every 90 days?

Dap Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 For Brett, it sounds like it is all about Brett. I agree and if I see him I'll tell him that. He couldn't have gone too far without his passport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soikhaonoiken Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Very strange story,, he must also be on overstay, as the police found his passport in his rented bungalow, so he can't check into a hotel, or resort without his passport ? or leave Thailand.

slipperylobster Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Seems like mr Bean is happy stop his ATM account, if he is alive the family will get a response. if indeed he is alive shows a contempt for his loved ones. It would seem that in order for this atm account to work, that he has been calling his bank to keep it activated. I had to call my bank 4 times last year, as I get "flagged" on a regular basis. He must really have a big communication problem with his friends and family to have avoided contacting them. This story just leaves too much to the imagination... Anyway, it looks like it has been resolved and the mom does not desire to give out any information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotpoom Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I thought 50,000 Baht was a bit small as a reward for information leading to the discovery of one's son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might add, if you change addresses, your are supposed to report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shot Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 According to another news source that can't be mentioned, this guy showed up in California on or about May 9. No information as to his whereabouts for the past year and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
