We need more beef to decide if there was or not. Any ladyboys onvolved, a creazy bar lady with a jealous husband would help alot. Or he thought Thailand would solve all his problems, and spent his fortune in 3 weeks, and nowhere else to go when his love of his life left him behind. We need more details.

Not sure he have a gf? Doesnt say in the article as far I could read, but you mentioned the phone. And the phone is not listed as well. As far we know, it could have been a bf, or nobody. You could asked, where is his drinking buddies. ? What kind of alcohol did they drink. That is a very important detail, to get closer to solving this mystery. Link to post Share on other sites
