A Scots man has vanished <\/a>while on holiday in Thailand. Kenny Robertson, 58, has been reported missing <\/a>in South Asia since January 5.<\/p>\n

His loved ones say he was last in touch that day from Bangkok Airport although a short email was sent to a friend three days later. He has not been seen or heard from since. Kenny was travelling Thailand <\/a>solo at the time of his disappearance.<\/p>\n

His family say it is very out of character for him to not be in touch. Kenny had been planning to explore<\/a> for a few weeks alone before volunteering at a dog sanctuary.<\/p>\n

\"-\"<\/p>\n

However, the dog sanctuary has not had any contact from him. His disappearance has been reported to the Thai <\/a>authorities.<\/p>\n

In an appeal via Facebook<\/a>, his friend Jordan McLeod wrote: \u201cMy friend has been reported missing after arriving in Thailand. He has made no further contact with friends or family which is very out of character for him. If you can do anything please share.\u201d<\/p>\n

A missing persons poster was shared on social media<\/a> along with the desperate plea to find him. Kenny is described as 5ft 6in and wears glasses.<\/p>\n

Anyone with any information regarding Kenny’s whereabouts is urged to contact the UK\u2019s Foreign Office and the UK police, or if based in Thailand, the local Thai police or the British Embassy in Bangkok<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kenny Robertson, 58, has been reported missing in South Asia since January 5.
