Missing on Koh Phi Phi: 26-year-old causes worldwide concern!

A 26-year-old tourist from Wales, Daniel Davies, has been missing on the Thai island of Koh Phi Phi since March 13, 2023. According to reports from oe24 His last known location was the “Hangover Hostel” in Bangkok. His girlfriend Lucia expressed concern because his cell phone is switched off and it is out of character for him not to contact him for such a long period of time. The Thai police have already filed a missing person report and are actively searching for him.

Davies' family has contacted local authorities. They express concern about the unusual situation in which he has not sent any messages for more than a month. Daniel is described as slim, 1.80 m tall, with blonde hair and a beard. The search is also being supported by the British organization “Echoes of the Lost”, which is appealing to him to contact his family.

The security environment in Thailand

The case of Daniel Davies is reminiscent of other mysterious disappearances of tourists in Thailand, a nation that, according to an assessment by Thailand Tip ranked as the third safest holiday destination in the world. Numerous cases of tourists disappearing under unclear circumstances have been reported. In 2024, at least two British tourists died in similar situations, with authorities often assuming accidents while relatives remain skeptical.

The British Foreign Office is also involved in the case and hope for positive news regarding Davies is dwindling. The family is asking travelers in Thailand to offer their help in the search. Despite the dangers associated with traveling in Thailand, many tourists are drawn to the islands due to the special culture and breathtaking landscapes.

Given the security situation, travelers are advised to exercise caution. Thailand ranks third in a list of 20 popular holiday destinations when looking at crime rates, natural disasters and health risks. These rankings illustrate that while Thailand is a popular destination, it is important to be aware of the potential dangers and exercise appropriate caution.
