The family of a British tourist are seeking help after the holidaymaker mysteriously went missing in Thailand.

Simon Robinson, 27, from Skegness, Lincolnshire, was due to fly back to the United Kingdom on July 26, but he never boarded his flight at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport in Bangkok.

His phone signal was last detected in Bangkok and he disappeared five minutes before reaching the airport.

Worried family and friends said they have contacted the British Embassy in Bangkok to help find Simon’s whereabouts. 

But with no progress on the case, they have turned to social media to appeal for help.

Simon’s friend, Sam Champ, wrote online, posting a picture of him on August 2: ‘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.’

Simon’s sister Sarah said she had received ‘hundreds of messages’ after appeals to find him were launched online.

She thanked people for sharing pictures of her brother and urged those in Bangkok who had seen the posts to keep an eye out for him.

Writing on Facebook, she added that Interpol was looking into the case and that so far she has received no updates. 

The foreign office has been contacted for comment. 

It comes after an Australian tourist also went missing in Thailand in July.

Nursing student Kieran James Cramer, 28, arrived in the Southeast Asian country on July 1, but vanished and could not be contacted by his family for around 15 days.

Kieran’s father, Darren Cramer, travelled from Australia to Thailand to search for his son.

Mr Cramer had feared Kieran might be in danger and filed reports with the local Chalong Police, the Australian embassy and Interpol.

His son was eventually found in Bangkok on July 24, though the circumstances of his disappearance were still unclear.
