Thread: Friend's father missing in Hua Hin

Not sure if this is the correct area of the forum, but here goes. A friend's father has gone missing in Hua Hin. Here are the details from a FB page.


IMPORTANT COMMUNITY NEWS - Can you help? The photo is of Michael O'Brien, a Hua Hin resident who has allegedly gone missing. His family is desperate to find him. If you have any information that might help locate Michael please share with us here so that we can pass on. Thank you. #live#local#radio

This is takes from the Surf 102.5 Facebook page

His daughter is obviously beside herself with worry and wants it shared as much as possible. She also wants her dad's car details to be known



Hope I'm not breaking any rules here sharing this.

Now if it was a young backpacker on a Gap holiday the advice would be that they will reappear after disappearing with a lady.
At his age and status, it's more than likely that good news will not be forthcoming.

Was he married? Have a GF?

Hope it all ends well!

He has be found and his family are aware of his location. If you shared the OP, thanks for spreading the word

From Surf 102FM:

We can confirm today that Michael O'Brien has been found. He is being held in an immigration detention centre in Bangkok. He was picked up due to a 200+ day overstay. Sadly Mike apparently went quickly into Alzheimer's and this contributed to a series of problems, including not giving permission for the detention centre or the US Embassy to contact anyone. His family has been notified and is making plans to come over and take him back home.Thank you to everyone who has helped to try and track Michael.

Sounds like a bar.

Isnt that a Ladyboy cabaret show?

Play nice, his daughter is aware of this thread and probably reading it. It's a nasty, nasty disease that I wouldn't wish on anyone. One of my mum's mates got it at the tender age of 43- early onset.

Yeah, makes me wonder if retirement in the tropics is the wisest move, but then I think of the dystopian nightmare of Crewe and its dimwitted, perma-scowling Brexiters and I feel willing to chance it.

It's also not a disease that you "go into quickly", be real.

I don't give a fuck what his daughter reads, if he had Alzheimers already someone should have been checking his visa.

Others may lose their minds in a different manner...Sorry for the guy...

I probably wont remember reading this post by tomorrow. Or even 10 minutes from now

Autoimmune neurological disorders and paraneoplastic disorders are also conditions that can cause rapidly progressive dementia.

Well thank fuck we have a qualified neurologist on the board is all I can say.
