A MISSING Brit made a chilling final phone call before vanishing in Thailand – just minutes away from the airport.
Simon Robinson, 27, jetted off to the Asian holiday hotspot on July 22, disappearing only days later.
He was originally supposed to stay abroad until August 3, but phoned his girlfriend to let her know he was coming earlier on July 26.
But his girlfriend from Boston, Lincolnshire – where Simon spends much of his time – hasn’t heard from him since, according to The Lincolnite.
Simon never did the board the flight despite his phone’s location pinging just minutes away from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport.
His phone appears to have been off ever since the call with his partner.
Now family and friends are desperately trying to raise awareness to kick-start an effort to find him.
South Yorkshire police confirmed Simon’s case was reported to them, although they have not launched their own missing persons appeal.
The Foreign Office said it stood ready to help any Brit abroad.
In a Facebook post, Simon’s sister Sarah Robinson Dale said UK cops were waiting for Interpol, the border-hopping international police organisation.
Sarah said she was “going out of my mind here”.
She added: “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.
“All anyone can do at the moment is if you are in Bangkok and see him contact the police or ask Simon to call me and if you’re in another country just keeping sharing the picture.
“As soon as I have any information I will update on here. Forever grateful let’s get Simon home.”
She was due to speak with British embassy in Thailand today, she said.
Simon’s pal Sam Champ also took to social media to ignite 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 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.”
It comes after Australian holidaymaker Kieran James Cramer, 28, also vanished in Thailand in July.
He was eventually found in Bangkok but mystery still surrounds the disappearance.
Another missing Brit in July vanished on Italian island Sardinia.
Michael Frison, 25, was said to have left his home in Sardinia “undressed” before disappearing, according to his worried mum.
Budding barrister Ben Ross, 26, went missing in Majorca around the same time.
The Greater Manchester man was eventually found alive after nearly two weeks.
Capturing the attention of the nation, Jay Slater tragically died in Tenerife when he attempted a massive walk back to his accommodation without water in the heat on June 17.
Jay partied on at a house following a musical festival, before embarking on the dangerous trek on his own the following morning.
His body was found in a treacherous ravine almost a month later.
