I bumped into a close friend of a family whose son went missing in Laos a few months ago. The person I met was not familiar with this forum. I am not sure if information was ever posted here and I was not able to find it in a search. Below is a link to a website with details. Needless to say, family would be appreciative of any information.

He was last seen leaving his guesthouse in Xieng Kok, Laos. He seems to have befriended some Akha in that area. Perhaps those of you with pals who follow Akhazang might be able to make inquiries.

Yes the family posted the details here before as did a friend of his.

It cant do any harm to re-post though.
