I have been contacted by the son of a former Udonite - Rob Gillham. He was a bit of an artist there - a Brit who moved to Pattaya about 3 years ago. Apparently he is missing in action since about 1 April or so. Can you get the word out to see if anyone there in Udon might know anything. He used to be a pretty avid pool player.

Re: Missing person
Another one to add to the list:
Alan Delahaye
He is English and, apparently, his last know address was in Sri Chiang Mai, Nong Khai.
I have been contacted regarding the possibility that he may have recently died, but as yet I have found no evidence to support the claim.
If anyone knows of him, or his whereabouts, please do let me know so I can pass the details on.
Thank you.

with all respect, but why you didn't open your own topic for that?BangkokButcher wrote:Another one to add to the list:

Re: Missing person
Because it is the same topic, both related to missing persons, we are not asking for a discussion on it, just for information to be sent directly to either me or Lee, if anyone has any information!
Re: Missing person
not really, this is a topic about a missing person by the name of Rob Gillham. We should keep it like that. if you have any other issues about missing people, just open a new topic. It could be confusing, if really someone has informations about those peopleBangkokButcher wrote:Because it is the same topic, both related to missing persons, we are not asking for a discussion on it, just for information to be sent directly to either me or Lee, if anyone has any information!
Re: Missing person
Did he have his paintings for sale in bars around Udon? In Aussie Bar? Painted famous superstars in an extract style?
I remember Justin (Aussie Bar) telling me Rob was house sitting for his friend in Pattaya ....maybe Justin has seen him recently.

Re: Missing person
While I have no information about any missing person, the sad fact is that in this country if one has not seen someone for a considerable time, it is VERY hard to ascertain what has occurred.
Keeping tabs on firnds is hard enough, as for aquaintances even harder . In this country unless you have agood network of friends ones demise is so quickly taken care of, that in one minute you are dead the next burnt, the next forgotten and as for Thai girl-friends/wives etc...gone as well.
Embassies should be contacted if a farang passes away, ( note the use of the word should ) , but in reality that does NOT always occur, so although this POST was set up to look for one person, and I can empathise with the feeling of the OP, it might be of interest to keep this post alive just for people who seem to be missing or otherwise.
Many people have left here in tha last few months some permanently to go back to their own countries, some popping off to pastures new in SE Asia, I am sure that in the main there is at least one person who will know the whereabouts or otherwise of a missing person. before some wise person says it I will, I will not go to find that person to ask him/ her, I am sure you are all capabnle of understanding my meaning .
Just a few thoughts about a subject that can give deep concern to any person looking for anyone, especially if they are family.

Re: Missing person
Ok you cynics and all those WHO STATE they do NOT want a discussion.
I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY AN IMPECCABLE SOURCE THAT mr gILLHAM IS ALIVE AND WELL AND ALSO HAS CONTACTED HIS SON.OK
So papaquido be a little less blustery. I was informed by Ron who is also a lifetime friend of Mr Gillham, he asked me to tell eveyone else, everything is OK.
You see it does work, there is always someone who knows it is just how you ask. It would appear that Mr Gillhams computor was stolen and he popped over to the Phillipines, however his son managed to ascertains Rons email and hence all is now well.
So less bluster and more informed talk gets more information OK.
