British backpacker Jordan Jacobs 'found on Thai beach'

[chrisinth]

Does the idiot have a work visa ? Typical hippie-dippy lost foreigner who should have never been allowed to board the plane. Millions more of them arriving here daily. Full Moon Party/Khao San Road/Pai/ Koh Phi Phi good example.

Not sure if it is a requirement to have a 'work visa' to be walking on a beach in the islands.

OP stated that he was looking for a job in the dive industry; don't need a 'work visa' to look..............

[Mitkof Island]

I don,t think the guy has enough brains to get a work visa like the majority of young bums that arrive here thinking they can just work for food at a bar or whatever. This dip is like millions more arriving here this year. Dirty, lost, broke, disrespectful just trash. The Thais don,t think highly of his kind. Only good for scamming. And believe me the Thais clean out the idiots bank accounts.

I'm only wondering who the "idiot" here is? Of course were you never young. You seem to be a very ignorant person.

"Millions of them arriving here daily", But one super(self-deleted) on this forum seems to have an island username.

BTW, there's nothing written about him having a "work visa." Must be boring to sit on your Nana barstool day by day.

Sorry, being "young" doesn't excuse scaring his family, involving the embassy and poluice, wasting headlines and people's time. If you think his BS drama is just good natured hi-jinx you have more problems than him. He is either an idiot or another druggie or mental ill person whose family lets run wild, then begs the population to sort him out.

These kind of tourist should receive a 10 year ban from entry. Obviously not stable enough to survive outside the nanny states.

Wow must really get you down the lads living life, perhaps you should be forced to live someone elses like you seem to want him to.

Do you ? what a pathetic and Stalinist attitude.

Shame you clearly never had a life opportunity at 21 to travel the world, might have made you a better and less judgemental person...

excuse me sir, 'englishhoak' , but it's not shame not to travel the world at 21.... it's shame to be a ***ass, moron , bastard, drug addict baboon like this, and travel the world at any age for this :

that just looks miserable.

[escapetheratrace4life]

Sounds like an idiot..... period!

[Ace of Pop]

He can't be British with name like that

[F4UCorsair]

Drama queen + mushrooms?

Being young is not a crime, but being stupid should be.

So who's gonna contribute to his gofundme account?

[oneday]

Sounds like an idiot who doesn't care about family feelings.

Ah, the first decent comment that hits the nail on the head.

If he had time to apply for a diving job he had time to let his parents know he was OK. What a first class jerk.

[asdecas]

He's a very naughty boy.

[technologybytes]

so many opinions... so little real information.

[jpinx]

There's a lot of TVF members eager to condemn the lad for going missing and eager to to accuse him of taking illegal substances.

Two points to note:

This forum sees fit to disallow posts seeking missing persons (think about it)

The use of illegal drugs and illegal substances in Thailand carries extremely severe penalties. Accusations against anybody regarding the use of drugs or other illegal substances could result in awful consequences for someone for whom there is no evidence of them commiting these crimes in Thailand (Think about it).

the dear leader ought to put this idiot in the slammer for bringing "disharmony" on thailand! especially if he falsely accused a thai of kidnapping him! we get all kinds during the so called dry season! they seem to come out of the woodworks and the thai's seem to accept them if they have the money!

[kkup]

Looks like someone can't handle their drugs.

[ThaiWai]

So happy he has been found. I will sleep sound tonight knowing this fact.

You do know he was not the only missing person in the world right??

[SoiBiker]

Apparently he's a bit embarrassed.

It would have been far better if the word "safe" had been incorporated into that heading.

Precisely.

At first I thought 'found on thai bench' and was expecting to read in the story, dead body.

Glad to see the kid is ok.

[carter1882]

This is precisely why the police do not act on adults going missing until a considerable time has passed and only then if there are soecial circumstances. Adults go missing all the time and the very vast majority have no sinister reasons at all. In the age of instant intenet and email communication the general public are increasingly unaware of this salient fact. Human nature has not changed. People will want to disappear. This case is just a five minute disappearance. Worrying parents can rest assured that there are plenty of other prodigal sons and daughters who will show up again when the time is right.

[Transporter]

Selfish idiot put his family through a world of pain.

Give him a diving job? I wouldn't give him my toenail clippings!

Does the Thai government understand that the money is not worth it for the millions that arrive here yearly like this guy? I would be willing to pay far more for a visa if i knew it would weed out the millions of losers both men and women who arrive here. The money could be spent on a man hunt to track down the thousands of foreign criminals that somehow the government allowed in. Overall it would make Thailand a much more enjoyable and safer place to visit. Besides far fewer various forms of trash arriving at the airports and land borders.

[Peter Strand]

One more of this backpacker idiots, nothing to see, move on.

[arrowsdawdle]

Then you and so many others wouldn't have clicked on it and website engagement metrics would have suffered and that equates to potential lost ad revenue.

[JingerBen]

Jordan Jacobs has had his fifteen minutes of fame.

Now go away.

[mikiea]

It sounds to me like he was having too much of a good time and didn't want to go home.

Who can blame the lad

hmmm.... may be lite in da loafers trying to find himself .............why the odd text's ?

[ebonykap]

He's a very naughty boy.

.............but he looks and acts like the Messiah!

Funny that...

I was thinking the same thing.

He looks like the traditional images of Jesus Christ.

[crazykopite]

Immigration need to put him on the first flight home his mother has cancer and he puts her through hell WHY ! To much Yabba !

[Rancid]

Wanting to stay longer in Thailand. Think most could relate to that.

Lying to his family to stay longer. Can understand that.

Making his family think he was in trouble. No way that is ok.

Years ago in Manila in its heady days had the chance to stay and do a movie. However had to go home to start a new job and I went home. More holidays are always waiting once you've saved the money. That guys an idiot.
