An Australian man who had been missing for two weeks in Thailand has been found but he refuses to speak.

The missing Aussie’s father had sought help in finding his 28 year old son, Kieran James Cramer, who had been missing for 15 days. Cramer, a nursing student, vanished shortly after arriving in Thailand on July 1.

He last contacted his family on July 7 from Bangkok, just before he was due to travel to Phuket. For 15 agonising days, his worried family had no idea where he was or if he was safe.

Kieran’s father, 55 year old Darren Stephen Cramer, flew from Australia to Thailand to join the frantic search for his son, who has not been heard from since arriving in the country. Fearing for his son’s safety, Cramer filed reports with the Chalong Police, the Australian embassy, and even Interpol.

This morning, Cramer shared a bittersweet update with Daily Mail Australia.

“We found him in Bangkok but he won’t talk to us. We are very worried about his safety at the moment.”

Despite locating Kieran, the mystery surrounding his disappearance has only deepened. He had not registered in any hotels, complicating efforts to track his movements. The reasons for his silence and the details of his two-week ordeal remain unknown, leaving his family in a state of anxious uncertainty.

Rungnapa Phutkaew, President of the Phuket Lawyers Council, confirmed that the older Cramer approached the volunteer lawyers and police for help. Cramer stated that his son’s last known location was in Bangkok but he was scheduled to be in Phuket by yesterday. Despite efforts to contact him, there has been no communication for over two weeks, raising concerns about his safety, reported Daily Mail UK.

“We are deeply worried about Kieran’s well-being and are appealing to the public for any information that might help us locate him.”
