Up until now, we've been focusing our efforts on his last known location in Galicia, Spain and his direction of travel (Madrid). THANK YOU to everyone who helped us trace his movements there. With this new information, we're shifting our focus to the next leg of his journey: Thailand (specifically Bangkok to Railay Beach). Ben is an experienced and methodical world traveler of over 18 years. He's completed multiple Iron Mans, the Appalachian Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail, and cycled the Continental Divide Route. This is someone who knows how to navigate the world. Our family has filed a missing persons report in the U.S. and has contacted the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok. We believe he took a flight from Madrid to Bangkok and are trying to verify his passport activity in Spain while working to escalate his case internationally. O If you (or anyone you know) may have seen or been in contact with Ben in Bangkok or en route to Railay Beach between Oct 27 - Nov 4, 2025, please…
