If anyone has seen Karl or know of his whereabouts, please call the NZ
Embassy's duty officer on 081 837 7240 (+6681 837 7240) if he can't do so for himself.

I'm also posting this on arjan but if there are any other relevant places to post it, please let me know or post it on.

From the the international forum:

"Latest reports say that 35 dead and about 300 injured from 2-3 days of fighting."

I know that all human life is precious so I don't mean to gloss over 35 dead but it hits a lot closer to home when someone who is doing basically the same thing we are doing gets caught up in trouble. We may not have the internal chaos here but there is a huge external problem that could make things hit the fan.

This was posted on thaivisa not long ago. Marko is a New Zealand ambulance officer working in Bangkok. He has also been in the news recently.

"Karl has been found alive although a little distraught due to possible head injuries. The NZ embassy is working with the Thai police to arrange his safe return to New Zealand.

Thank you to all those who have helped in locate him.

Marko Cunningham"

Thanks to all for their concern and any help they have given.
