Missing Brit who vanished in Bangkok is found safe following two-week search... after family were told he'd flown 5,000 MILES away

A British tourist who mysteriously went missing during a trip to Thailand has been found safe after his family were told he had flown 5,000 miles away. 

Simon Robinson,27,from Skegness,Lincolnshire,was due to fly back to the United Kingdom on July 26 but never boarded his flight home,prompting an urgent two-week search. 

His phone signal was last detected in Bangkok and he disappeared five minutes before reaching Suvarnabhumi International Airport. 

This week Mr Robinson's family received information that he had in fact boarded a flight to Finland. 

The 27-year-old was then supposed to catch a connecting flight from Helsinki to Manchester but never did. 

Now his sister has confirmed that Mr Robinson has been found safe and well but his location remains unknown.

'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.'

Mr Robinson's sister Sarah said while he was still missing that 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.
