Call: Looking for my biological father who lives in Thailand
We are Corrina and Sjoerd van der Velde from the Netherlands and would like to see if there are Dutch/Flemish people in Thailand who can help us with a search.
My husband and I have been looking for my biological father for years. The search goes for a born German gentleman who later took Danish nationality. He has reportedly been living in Thailand for 11 years now and may have now also taken on a Thai nationality.
He is now 87 and has no idea about the existence of his daughter. We have learned through DNA research and traditions from his family that he has been living in Thailand for eleven years. We also know from a postcard to his German family that he stayed in the Hadthong hotel last March.
We would prefer to go that way for the search, but unfortunately it is not yet possible due to COVID 19 rules. Through this road we hope for some contacts who want to help us with this search.
You can get in touch with us via [email protected].
Thanks in advance for your responses.
https://thethaidetective.com/en/ speak Dutch have a lot of experience
in this kind of business
Thank you for this tip I will see if they can do something for us.
It seems to me personally very unlikely that he has now also adopted Thai nationality after German and Danish nationality.
Because he was born German, and may have worked here for a while, you could write to the German Rentenversicherung asking if they have this gentleman's name somewhere in their computer system, and also repeat the same at any Danish pension insurance.
If he is eligible for a benefit, both the German Rentenversicherung and the Danish pension institution will have his address and a so-called "lebensbescheinigung" showing that he is still alive.
If this, in my opinion realistic chance, does not yield anything, the German and Danish consulate, or the Thai immigration, will always remain.
This is worth a try, although I haven't really gotten much cooperation from these kinds of agencies in the search so far.
If you do not get access to information at the above authorities, there is always the possibility to place a small appeal in the Deutsche Magazin der Farang.
Europeans often seek contact with compatriots with whom they can speak in their own mother tongue.
The said magazine "Der Farang" of which I place a link below, is read by many German-speaking expats, so that it may well be possible that someone can provide the desired information.

I fear that the various governments will not (be allowed to) provide much help in the context of privacy legislation.
Try that Hadtong Hotel: http://www.hadthong.com/
They have a Facebook page and a LINE address. I also see an email address: [email protected] and at the bottom count nos.
Just try. Who knows, they don't care about privacy legislation.
Or maybe they made a copy of his passport (hotel is required to report a foreigner to Immigration!) and also wrote down his phone number.
They could ask him to contact you. They may.
Hi Sjoerd,
We have already tried this in English sent an email with a photo.
Unfortunately no response received
To call ! (Just maybe communicating in English in that hotel is difficult for them.)
And/or communicate via LINE!
(LINE is not really known in the Netherlands, but it is the Whatsapp of Asia.
https://line.me/en-US/download)
I would first send a message via LINE and if there is no response quickly, then call.
Unfortunately I am now in ASQ (quarantine) on the other side of Bangkok, otherwise I could drop by that hotel afterwards…
If it all fails, I'll send you an email, who knows I can ask someone in Bangkok to go there (I think I can find a Thai who wants to do this).
The link shows the hotel in the city of Prachuap Khiri khan. Maybe one of the blog readers lives near there and wants to stop by.
Otherwise, maybe post a call on another English-language Thailand site.
Mails to hotels often end up in the "trash can", especially if the recipient does not know English very well.
Jan, you are right: it is Hadthong Hotel (with letter H in the middle) in Prachuap Khiri khan) and not Hadtong Hotel (in BKK)
Er German and Danish nationality?
You can ask if the man is known at the embassy. Can you answer this with yes and no.
If you know that he is known to 1 of the 2 ask if THEY want to contact him with your question.
Other solution is TRACELESS.
Furthermore, the Thai nationality seems almost impossible to me. just look at the requirements.
Good luck
