Simon Robinson, a 27-year-old British tourist, made a final, chilling phone call before disappearing in Thailand, just minutes away from the airport.

Robinson had traveled to Thailand on July 22 but vanished only days later.

The last contact anyone had with him was on July 26, when he phoned his girlfriend to say he was coming home early. Originally, he was supposed to stay abroad until August 3.

Despite his phone’s location pinging just minutes away from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Simon never boarded the flight. His phone has been off since that last call, leaving his family and friends in a desperate search for answers.

South Yorkshire Police confirmed that Simon’s case was reported to them, but they have not initiated a missing persons appeal. The Foreign Office has also stated that it is ready to assist any Brit abroad.

In a Facebook post, Simon’s sister, Sarah Robinson Dale, expressed her distress, saying: “I am going out of my mind here.

“I am receiving hundreds of messages and I don’t have time to reply to them all.

“I am thankful for everyone’s support and sharing.”

Sarah urged anyone in Bangkok to contact the police if they see Simon and asked people in other countries to keep sharing his picture. She mentioned she was due to speak with the British embassy in Thailand.

Simon’s friend, Sam Champ, also took to social media to raise awareness.

He wrote: “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 didn’t show up. It was his 27th birthday yesterday and everyone is growing very concerned.”

This incident follows a similar case involving Australian holidaymaker Kieran James Cramer, who also went missing in Thailand in July but was eventually found in Bangkok. The circumstances of his disappearance remain a mystery.

Another Brit, Michael Frison, 25, vanished on the Italian island of Sardinia in July after reportedly leaving his home “undressed.” He was found alive nearly two weeks later.

The nation was also recently captivated by the tragic case of Jay Slater, who died in Tenerife after attempting a long walk back to his accommodation without water in extreme heat. His body was found in a ravine almost a month later.
