Grace Taylor, 21, from Swanage, was said to have been traveling solo in Pattaya when she spoke to her family on Feb. 16.
After not hearing from her for several days, Grace’s parents filed a missing persons report to the police on Sunday.
On Monday, Grace’s mother Sam received a distressing phone call from Grace, who was in Ao Nang and sounded “very stressed and frightened”.
In a Facebook post, Sam wrote that a panicked Grace had said that “people were trying to hurt her and were following her and she wanted to come home”.
After calming her down and booking her a flight home from Krabi airport, Grace’s parents found out that while she had made it to the airport, she had not gotten on the plane and had gone missing again.
Grace’s mother has made an appeal to the backpacker community in Thailand, asking them to keep an eye out for Grace, as previous sightings have reported her to be “disorientated and not in a good mental state”.
Sam added that a family member was flying out to Thailand to find Grace and bring her home.
