I had an American friend that passed away back in 2013 in Mae Sot. The US Consulate in Chiang Mai contacted me for info about him by calling my cell number. This was how I was notified of his death. I was told that my number was in his phone and was the only Farang number in it. They asked of our relationship and if I knew of any next of kin back in the US. I gave what info I had and they only thing they would tell me was the date and town of his death. My contacts in Chiang Mai faired no better. Some 4 months passed and no info so I contacted the consulate again. The gentleman I spoke with told me IF no next of kin was verified that the individuals belongings would sold and proceeds donated to charity in Thailand, his remains would be cremated. Another couple months passed and I received another call from his cell phone and was told that he did have a heart attack and no next of kin was found and his remains were cremated. I do not hold out any hope for info from his GF but she may and I say may get some information.
