'Missing' British tourist found on Thai holiday island after telling parents a 'man would not let him leave'
Exclusive: Jordan Jacobs, from Lyneham, Wiltshire, tells the Telegraph that he was just ‘chilling out’ and 'having fun' while fearful family pleaded for help after disturbing ‘final’ message
A British backpacker who sparked an international manhunt after contacting his family from a Thai holiday island to say that he would never see them again has turned up safe, well and unapologetic.
Jordan Jacobs, disclosed to The Telegraph that he had been just “chilling out” and “perhaps having a bit too much fun” on Ko Phi Phi Don and was not in the clutches of an unidentified Thai man, as he had told his fearful family.
The 21-year-old from Lyneham, Wiltshire, had sent a series of disturbing and mystifying messages to his mother and sister shortly before they expected him to fly home for Christmas after spending a year travelling in Asia.
His sister Emily raised the alarm via a widely-shared Facebook posting and his mother said she planned to postpone radiotherapy treatment for cancer to fly to Thailand to search for her son.
