Family in Denmark pleads for assistance after Danish citizen vanished in Thailand since March.
Hey there,
Here's the scoop on the vanishing act of Jakob Jensen, a 41-year-old bloke from Denmark. This dude has been MIA in Thailand since late March, and his family's driving themselves nuts trying to track him down.
Jakob was last seen on March 21, reportedly in a loony bin of a state while traveling by bus from Ranong to Bangkok. Some guy claimed spotting him getting off in Prachuap Khiri Khan, but that's the last anyone heard.
On May 15, AJenDK, a relative using Reddit, spun an entire yarn about Jakob's whereabouts in Thailand and appealed for assistance. The post highlighted that Jakob was battling a mental health issue and was lacking his stash of meds. "The guy's nuts and urgently needs a darned doctor," AJenDK wrote.
Jakob swang by Thailand in early February and hung out with a buddy in Ranong. On March 1, his pal hauled him off to Bangkok's main ticketing office, it seems, but Jakob never clocked a flight back to Denmark. The following day, he sent an email to his old lady that didn't hint at his mental state—that was the last communication from him.
His phone's been dead since March 3.
Jakob apparently backtracked to Ranong around March 19 and crashed at a motel called Palmy House. On March 21, he trashed the joint, and the tourist cops escorted him to a bus to Bangkok, where he said he'd visit a buddy. But, Jakob's relatives claim they ain't heard a peep about this alleged chum.
The family reached out to the Danish cops and embassy in early May. On May 6, the Danish authorities fired off an international missing persons report. They've also requested Jakob's bank records, which are still under the magnifying glass as of May 14. Thai immigration records only verify his presence in Ranong.
The cops in both Ranong and Bangkok have got their eyes on the case, and the Danish embassy in Bangkok'sØB has been notified. Jakob's family's SOS has grabbed the attention of both Thai and European media outlets, as well as sympathy from the social media mob.
Jakob checks in at 180cm tall and weighs approximately 90kg. He sports some dark blond hair, a kinky brown beard with a smattering of grey, and eyes like a grey-green lizard.
More juicy details are available on the original Reddit post.
- Jakob's mental health issue, which he was battling, might have been exacerbated by his lack of medication, causing his sudden disappearance in Thailand.
- The health-and-wellness sector, particularly mental health, could hold crucial insights into understanding Jakob's disappearance and potential whereabouts, given the information about his mental health struggle.
