" UPDATE: Grace Taylor, who had been reported missing in Thailand after some worrying phone calls to her parents indicating that &amp;quot;people were trying to hurt her&amp;quot;, has now returned to the UK with her parents. The 21-year-old\u00A0was tracked down by Thai authorities at Krabi airport, and is reported to have been &amp;quot;constantly blowing a whistle and refusing to talk to anyone&amp;quot;. It has been suggested that Grace was &amp;quot;extremely disturbed,&amp;quot; with her mother writing on Facebook that she was\u00A0&amp;quot;disoriented&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;not in a good mental state&amp;quot;. Her mum has since deleted the original Facebook posts asking people to help in the search for Grace. ___________________________ 21-year-old Grace Taylor, a British backpacker who had been reported as missing in Thailand by her mother, has been found.\u00A0 Grace, who comes from Swanage in Dorset, had been travelling around the South East Asian country alone when she failed to get in contact with her family for five days. Their last contact had been when Grace rang them\u00A0from her hostel in Pattaya, Thailand, but they did not hear from her for several days following that. Grace then\u00A0rang her mum again yesterday\u00A0from Ao Nang, more than 500 miles from Pattaya,\u00A0in a call where she sounded very distressed. &amp;quot;Grace contacted us at 11am today from Ao Nang,&amp;quot; a Facebook post written by Grace&amp;#039;s mum, Sam Taylor, read.\u00A0&amp;quot;She was very stressed and frightened saying that people were trying to hurt her and were following her and she wanted to come home.&amp;quot; But after Grace&amp;#039;s parents managed to calm her down, and booked her a flight to come home from Krabi airport, Grace failed to show up for the flight. &amp;quot;We are desperately worried,&amp;quot; the post said. &amp;quot;All previous backpacker sightings have reported that she is disorientated and not in a good mental state.&amp;quot; But since Sam&amp;#039;s Facebook post, Thai police thankfully managed to track Grace down at Krabi airport. According to a statement from\u00A0Police Lieutenant Colonel Jetsada Chanpoo\u00A0in the\u00A0Mirror: &amp;quot;Tourist police officers and immigration officials have found Grace Taylor at Krabi airport.\u00A0She 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.&amp;quot; And\u00A0The Guardian reports that\u00A0Somsak Kaewchana,\u00A0director of Krabi Airport&amp;#039;s Tourist Assistance Centre, has confirmed Grace\u00A0was resting in the\u00A0medical room, but that she was suffering from anxiety and hallucinations. &amp;quot;She can talk to our female staff, but not with men,&amp;quot; Kaewchana told The Guardian.&amp;quot;\u00A0I have to oversee the situation from afar because she&amp;#039;s scared of men.&amp;quot; And this isn&amp;#039;t the first time a British backpacker has gone missing and been found under mysterious circumstances; just months ago 21-year-old Jordan Jacobs rang his parents to say a man &amp;quot;wouldn&amp;#039;t let him leave&amp;quot; the Thai island of Koh Phi Phi. He was then missing for days before Thai police managed to track\u00A0him down on a beach.  So it remains something of a mystery what actually happened to Grace in those worrying few days, but the important thing is that she&amp;#039;s safe now, and that her parents have travelled to Thailand to bring her home.\u00A0 What an awful ordeal for them all.
