There are plenty of other explanations, and many of them are just as whacky and unfounded as yours. Just check when his atm cards was last used Generally that will give some idea of how far he can travel and how much cash he probably had on him Then check the cctv and make sure he made the recent withdrawals personally If he had a cellphone, they've got some info available from his GPS Shouldn't take long to find out if he's lying, still partying somewhere or something bad has happened to him..... I suppose the police haven't got around to looking for him yet.... If there was a reward, they could find out what happened him within half an hour on a small Thai island I suspect....

HooHaa Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Details sounds delirious My family isn't safe if go back home My past come back Big trouble but cannot tell you Don't call police Big trouble but can do/receive phone calls Uhmm If really in trouble point your location on gmaps and ask for a police blitz My guess the dude is well high with no willing to go back home. So messed up can't estimate the damage is doing to his family This message to me sounds like the man who is controlling him ... just had the guy sign in and then type this message ... get people to stop looking for him. Drugs sounds like to me and got tied up with a local drug dealing thug who could well be blackmailing him to not spill the beans or he will have others take care of him - or he 'claims' that he can get police to put this lowly underling in jail ... The whole plot gets lost in a haze of drugs... A young guy who thought he was TOO KOOL to get messed up in a drug affair... I have seen it in the USA many times watching the younger set be cool... and stupid... ah that crazy "younger set". when will they learn eh?

HooHaa Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 personally i dont see that the being held against his will or drugged therioes being mutually exclusive. as for not wanting to go home, the charade is pointless, all he had to do was simply not go home.

stickylies Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Gotta love all the wild eyed drug speculation from folks who have never taken anything riskier than a walk down Sukhumvit. i have never been on sukhumvit (i kid u not) but have been pyschonauting for many years. i guess i'm more interested in exploring the mind than exploring "flesh"....

DaveinAsia Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Some rational points being made here. Back in my 'backpacking traveling' days I met many guys who lost it on mushies/acid/md/xanax/codeine and even green. Throw in several liters of that horrible tasting Chang and ones brain becomes mashed potatoes. Easy to lose the plot. Could also be he just doesn't want to go back home. All this said in a moment of positiveness as I hope the guy is alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Amazing Thailand Can you please explain how this story, in any way .. has anything to do with Thailand? It is certainly strange, and there may be sevreal possible reasons for it. The geography is not it .. this could happen anywhere with a young taveler like this. Frankly, the chances of a favorable outcome are much higher in the Kingdom than many other countries I have been to. But .. you got your Thai Bash in ... Whooptie Dooo 4 U.

Yeah, the beard became cool in the west all of a sudden. After many big shot actors starting doing it the rest of the sheeple followed soon enough.

jmccarty Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Isn't Phi Phi traffic-free? This makes the term "accepted a free ride" somewhat vague. What mode of transport? Could be boat, but that would most likely include leaving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Dear Family of Jordan Jacobs,You may be reading Thai Visa and hoping for information that can be of help to you.I am sorry to dim that hope by letting you know that Thai Visa is rather well known for kooky consipracy theories, people who hate Thailand and compalin about it all day. and folks who, generally speaking .. have very little to offer in the IQ department. In short, most of what is posted here is pure tripe and not worth the time or energy to review it.Although I have lived in the Kingdom for more than 5 years, I am sorry to say I have nothing to say that can help ... other than ... at Jordan's age I too traveled the globe, got into some tough spots ... and am still here to tell the tale.Please accept my sincere best wishes for a positive and happy outcome to this story. My instincts tell me he will be OK and will look back as I do now and laugh at some youthful folly.Best Regards ...

dhream Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Drugs or not, he'd have surfaced by now even if he lost it, someone would have spotted him shambling about and raving mad. He sadly won't be the last to come to grief, and if crime were a tourist deterrent, Rio would be a ghost town at Carnival. So much for all the doomsayers, tourists will flock here until the place is radio active, and even then, some numbskulls would still show up.

Ks45672 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Go anywhere and there are probably thousands of wandering backpackers, only seems like if they don't phone home from a Thai island people jump to alarming conclusions..... Probably more people get killed in Mexico or Brazil every year..... Cambodia is not always 100% safe either..... I knew someone who was given a spiked drink and raped when she trusted the locals a bit too much so I guess it can happen everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's relevant because Thailand promotes itself as a place to escape and try new adventures, eg that crazy campaign about the boy meeting the girl on a bus and finding love. It lulls the young into a false sense of security and many believe they can do/try things they wouldn't dream of doing at home. Sure 99.99% have a great time and no probelms but a few fall through the cracks and get into real bother.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennypowers Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 too many mushrooms ? weed? psychosis ? Sounds like another case of psychosis. With limited resources I've been independently investigating why so many cases are occurring in 20 and 30 something men travelling in Thailand, as no one in the media has connected the dots yet to do a story.
