Appeal for Irishman Matthew Boyle missing in Bangkok
By Colin Brennan


Matthew Boyle

Matthew is 37 years old, five foot eight inches tall and of stocky build

BANGKOK: -- His last contact with his parents was by phone on July 8th and since then they have been unable to contact him either by phone, text, email or skype.

Normally they would be in contact two/three times a week.

Matthew went to Bangkok in September 2011 to work as a Senior Business Analyst with a company called Asia Biogas.

In the summer of 2013 he and a colleague bought a wine bar – SIP Winebar- in Bangkok and later that year Matthew left Asia Biogas to run the wine bar on a full-time basis.

Well, I hope they can locate this chap soon, I'd hate to think he'd gone from SIP to RIP in less than a month.

Most likely got stitched up. Or fell in love with a ladyboy.

Thats the best photo TV can come up with? Two thirds of his boat?

More like stitched up, possibly by the mandatory 51% Thai business partner as required by law.

You wouldn't walk away from your life for a ladyboy, unless of course you have enough experience with them to contest that?

No, that's the best picture The Irish Mirror could come up with, which is what TVF used.

He's AWOL for just over 2 weeks...... hardly reason to panic yet. Has anybody been to the wine bar to ask ?

If he had previously been in contact with his parents 2 or 3 times a week, that would raise a red flag.

Very likely his parents are reading this, and they will be annoyed when people come up with all kinds of wild theories.

Checking at the wine bar would be a logical first move, and after that if need be at his apartment, which is likely to be in the same area.

Anybody with a bit of time to spare who lives in Bangkok?

[robertthebruce]

A lot of unnecessary comments here, please, his family or friends back home could be reading this, I do hope he turns up

Safe and sound, but it does sound kind of peculiar that he has not been in touch.

Hope he is found soon..

[siampolee]

Seen a guy a lot like him around 17-00 hrs on Soi Wat Dang about opposite Urbania near a small coffee shop Winmill I think by name looks to ride a small scooter 50c.c.thing at times friendly with I think an Asian fellow who has a cubby hole booth stall selling fried chicken and french fries western style. Might be worth a look.

Almost worthless article unless the purpose is to give the internet detectives, conspiracy and Thai bashers fuel to spread their thoughts. Not only are even the most simplest of details missing, such as did anyone speak to his partner or check his work or see if he checked out of the hotel or just stopped paying but if this is story looking to raise awareness in case somebody should see him then they should have included a number or contact info on who to report any sightings. Doesn't even say if the police are involved.

only missing for 2 weeks!!!! I disappear for over a month on some adventure fuelled binge and no body ever asks about my where abouts!

If perhaps you have been resident here for more than a couple of years you might just be aware that people do vanish in some dreadfiul circumstances hence friends and family concern.

For those that are only saying "it's only two weeks", put yourself in the position of his family. It also appears that he is normally in regular contact with them, so it is a bit out of the ordinary. I hope there is a happy end to this, and he is found safe and well. I am sure exposure on this site, will of be some help as well.

You get that long - do you ? I've only to put my Flip Flops on and there's photo's, texts and emails being circulated. I thought these tall fences around our place were to keep others out - not me in !

[Basil B]

I do hope he turns up safe and well.

I hope the BiB are at least making some inquiries as to Matthews welfare, and already made enquiries at the bar and wherever he lives, including interviewing his business partners.

Looking at your avatar I can understand that!

Gosh!, reading other posts can be time consuming especially if they contain just the information you are looking for.

missing...wine bar.....Irishman

[TheFishman1]

If he and his family talk to each other that often and the last two weeks no contact I would be concerned .

Well said....I pray that this man is safe and well. This is hardly a topic for trying to show people that you can be witty like in some other posts.

That's different nobody cares about those who feel the need for 30 day binge fueled adventures.
