The family of a British tourist missing in Thailand is appealing for help to find him.
The Bangkok Post reports that 27 year old Simon Robinson was supposed to fly home to the UK on Friday, July 26, but did not board the flight and his family and friends have not heard from him.
A post from a friend of Mr Robinson’s, Sam Champ, has been widely shared on Facebook, including several Thailand-focused travel pages, as desperate friends and family members turn to social media for assistance.
“Hi guys. I need your help please. One of my dear friends has gone missing in Bangkok, he hasn’t been heard from since the 26th of July. He was supposed to board a flight that day and he didn’t show up. It was his 27th birthday yesterday and everyone is growing very concerned.”
“He has been reported as a missing person. I’ve attached a picture of him, his name is Simon Robinson and he’s from Lincolnshire. If anyone could share this post onward to anyone in Bangkok or Thailand, I’d be so grateful.”
According to the report, Mr Robinson’s return to the UK was originally booked for this month, but he changed it to fly back on July 26. He has not been heard from since the day he was expected to fly home.
The last trace of his mobile signal shows that he was in Bangkok on the day of his flight, but the phone signal disappeared 5 minutes before reaching Suvarnabhumi Airport.
