A 55-year-old Australian dad was breathing a sigh of relief on Wednesday morning when he learned that his 27-year-old son was found in Bangkok. Darren Cramer had travelled to Thailand after losing contact with his son on July 7th, roughly two weeks ago. However, despite the anxious dad’s efforts, he revealed he was still worried for his son. He told media sources in Australia that the younger man was refusing to speak with him at this time.
An Australian man missing in Thailand since July 7 has been reportedly found. His Australian father had just travelled to Thailand to search for his missing son.
On Tuesday, 55-year-old Darren Stephen Cramer filed a missing persons report in respect of 27-year-old Kieran James Cramer.
The younger man had arrived in Thailand from Australia on July 1st last. However, after July 7th, Mr. Cramer lost contact with his family in Australia.
Missing Australian man’s suspected whereabouts included Bangkok and Phuket before being found
Previously, he was reported to have been in the Bangkok area. However, according to the tourist’s itinerary, on Tuesday, he was scheduled to be in Phuket.
At length, on Tuesday, Mr. Rungnapa Phutkaew, the President of the Provincial Lawyers Council, told reporters that lawyers at Chalong Police Station in central Phuket were aiding the foreign man in his quest.
