British backpacker Jordan Jacobs 'found on Thai beach' | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
A British backpacker who went missing for almost a week in Thailand has been found strolling on a beach, police say. | |
Jordan Jacobs, from Lyneham, Wiltshire, had been last seen at a restaurant on the island of Ko Phi Phi Don on Saturday. | |
His family, who had reported him missing to the Foreign Office, were increasingly concerned for his welfare. | |
Thai police told the BBC Mr Jacobs, 21, was found on the beach in the resort town of Krabi. | |
Wiltshire Police has also said he had contacted his family to tell him he was fine. | |
The Foreign Office earlier confirmed it was offering consular assistance to Mr Jacobs's family. | |
He had been travelling in the region since September last year and was due to return to the UK later. |
