A British tourist had the scare of his life while holidaying in Phuket, Thailand as he somehow found himself lost at the paradise island.

Worse, he also couldn’t remember the name of the hotel where he was staying or its location.

Not knowing what to do or where to go, the man ended up going to the Phuket International Airport to seek out help.

Thankfully, the good folks of the Phuket Airport Travel Police and the Tourist Assistance Center of Phuket were able to assist the man literally finding his way.

As shared by the latter on Facebook, the incident happened on 4 October 2023. From the attached photos, it looks like the British tourist approached the Phuket Airport Travel Police at the Phuket International Airport to explain his predicament.

He was then brought to the Tourist Assistance Center of Phuket which coordinated with the hotel network on the island to find out the address of the hotel where he was staying at.

While the post didn’t mention how the Tourist Assistance Center found out about the man’s hotel, it is assumed that they narrowed down the location based on the man’s descriptions and cross-checked the tourist’s name with the hotel network.

After finding out where his hotel was, both agencies brought the man to his accommodation in a Phuket Airport Travel Police car, where he was reunited with his family.

The British man and his family were happy and grateful to all the authorities involved for their help.
