Simon Robinson, a 27-year-old British national from Lincolnshire, has gone missing in Thailand. Robinson was last heard from on July 26, the day he was supposed to board a flight back to the United Kingdom. His disappearance has prompted his family and friends to seek help through social media.
What Happened?
Robinson had originally planned to return to the UK in August but rescheduled his flight to July 26. On that day, his mobile phone signal was last traced to Bangkok, five minutes before he was due to reach Suvarnabhumi Airport in Samut Prakan. Since then, there has been no contact from him, and his phone appears to have been turned off or lost signal.
Social Media Plea
In an effort to find Robinson, his family and friends have turned to social media. Sam Champ, a friend of Robinson, posted a plea for help on the Thailand Travel Advice TH Facebook page. The post has been widely shared, urging anyone in Bangkok or Thailand to spread the word and look out for Robinson.
Champ’s post reads: “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.”
Family’s Efforts
Robinson’s family has been tirelessly trying to contact him and has also reached out to the British embassy in Bangkok for assistance. With no leads or progress, his younger sister, Sarah Robinson Dale, has also taken to Facebook, appealing to netizens for any information that could help locate her brother.
Call for Help
The widespread sharing of these posts underscores the urgency and concern surrounding Robinson’s disappearance. Anyone with information about Robinson’s whereabouts is urged to contact local authorities or the British embassy in Bangkok.
Conclusion
The case of Simon Robinson remains unresolved, and his family continues to seek any help they can get. The use of social media has brought attention to his disappearance, and it is hoped that this increased visibility will lead to his safe return.
