Police search for Shane Evans, reported missing in Thailand
Another backpacker gone missing... since last Tuesday. Please contact your mother, Shane.
Police in Thailand continue to search for missing Gloucestershire man Shane Evans.
The 28-year-old former Dene Magna student hasn't contacted his family since Tuesday when he sent his mum a text saying 'I'm sorry.'
Shane had been thought to be in New Zealand but police searching for him tracked his phone to Thailand. Since the appeal went out last night his picture has been shared with Ex Pat groups in Thailand and groups of people travelling in the country in a bid to try and find him...

This about sums it up...
“Missing” In Thailand, Too Many Drama Queens
Published on 23rd February 2016 by Stickboy BKK
How many times have we seen it on social media?
My _________ (Options: brother, sister, son, daughter, dog) went backpacking to Thailand and is “MISSING” because they haven’t checked into Facebook for 30 minutes and I’m worried sick. Please share this with all your friends and family on every FB page and group with the word Thailand in it.
Back in the day people packed their rucksacks and off they went not to be heard of again for months on end. Their family and friends back home were lucky if they got a postcard every other month saying the usual, “Life is great, Thailand is great, missing you (not), I’m off to see a temple, I’ll write again soon, Bye for now”.
And that was it. No drama.
In the modern world of smartphones, wi-fi, and social media things are a whole lot different.
Kids wrapped in cotton wool all their lives want to head out into the big bad world and this has their family shitting bricks and panicking when their beloved go off the radar for a couple of days.
Twatpackers going on three day benders getting smashed and high on whatever or middle aged men balls deep in some bargirl they have fallen in love with are not missing. They are either selfish, stupid, smashed, shagging or a combination of any of the four. 99.9% of the time they are not “missing”.
The other common problem is family members telling half a tale when making their dramatic and sensationalist appeals with every news organisation and blogger jumping on the bandwagon taking them at their word.
The problem I, and many others it would appear, have with the drama queens and their missing persons appeals is when someone genuinely has gone missing or in need of help.
Many people quickly dismiss the appeals because in the past so many have cried wolf...

Re: Police search for Shane Evans, reported missing in Thailand
when i first stared traveling i would call Mom every 3 months.
it was a pain in the ass sometimes, India and Nepal u had to make an apt to schedule a time to call and it was NOT cheap ( a 3 minute call would be the equivalent of living expenses for 2 days at least)
I'd also send the aerograms every 2-3 weeks, but they could take months to get back if they made it at all.

In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

Re: Police search for Shane Evans, reported missing in Thailand
