Missing Simon Robinson vanished in Bangkok just DAYS after Oz tourist Kieran Cramer disappeared in eerily similar case
A BRIT went missing from a holiday in Thailand just after an Australian tourist vanished in an eerily similar case.
Lincolnshire native Simon Robinson, 27, hasn’t been since or heard from since he phoned his girlfriend from Bangkok on July 26.
In the same month, Australian Kieran James Cramer disappeared in the busy southeast Asian city on July 1.
The student nurse, 28, was nowhere to be seen or heard for more than two weeks.
His dad Darren jetted in from Australia to launch his own search, filing reports with local cops, the embassy and Interpol.
Eventually he found his son in Bangkok – but how he went missing remained a mystery.
Darren told Daily Mail Australia: “We found him in Bangkok … (But) he won’t talk to us.
“We are very worried about his safety at the moment.”
Simon travelled to Thailand for a solo trip originally supposed to be July 22-August 3.
But for an unknown reason he cut it short, telling his girlfriend he’d fly home July 26.
He never showed up.
Distraught family members believed he vanished in Bangkok, before a man claiming to be a Thai immigration officer told them he boarded a plane to Finland.
Both are cases of men in their 20s going missing from trips in Thailand and bewildering their worried families.
Simon’s sister Sarah Dale Robinson’s latest social media update said: “We have received confirmation that Simon did board the flight on the 26th July.
“A massive thank you to everyone that has shared and the kind people that have found this information out as the authorities at both sides haven’t done anything.
“I am waiting for a call back from the police and embassy in Helsinki.”
It’s believed he took a Finnair flight from Bangkok-Helsinki, but never hopped on a connecting jet into the UK.
Friend Demi Guttesen also wrote on Facebook: “Please share. Simon’s whereabouts are still unknown and he is still very much missing but now the focus is on Helsinki, Finland where his connecting flight would have landed at the time he was last active on his social media.
“If anyone has any connections in Helsinki or Finland please let me know. Thank you.”
The Foreign Office didn’t comment on Simon specifically, simply saying it stood ready to help any Brit abroad.
