A British backpacker missing in Thailand has been found, according to police.
Grace Taylor, 21, contacted her mother from Ao Nang in Krabi province saying “people were trying to hurt her”.
Her mother, Sam, launched an online appeal to find Grace after she did not hear from her daughter again and flew out to Thailand to try and find her.
Ms Taylor said her daughter sounded “very stressed and frightened” and did not board a flight home that had been booked for her, despite reportedly arriving at the airport.
Grace, from Swanage in Dorest, was found at Krabi International Airport and was reportedly detained by officers for her own safety.
Dorest Police, who were informed Grace had gone missing, confirmed this morning that the backpacker had been found.
Pol Lt Col Jetsada Chanpoom, from Krabi police, said: “Tourist police officers and immigration officials have found Grace Taylor at Krabi airport.
“She has spoken to embassy officials and we expect she will be leaving Thailand. She is feeling sick but we do not believe there was any crime involved.”
