“HE MISSED HIS FLIGHT — THEN VANISHED WITHOUT A TRACE” — FAMILY LAUNCHES DESPERATE SEARCH FOR 20-YEAR-OLD BRITISH MAN MISSING IN THAILAND

Bailey-Harris Singh was expected to fly home to the UK after a week in Thailand. Instead, he reportedly disappeared from Bangkok’s international airport, his phone went silent, and his worried family was left thousands of miles away searching for answers.

A family in West Yorkshire is desperately appealing for help to find a 20-year-old man who disappeared in Thailand after reportedly missing his scheduled flight home.

Bailey-Harris Singh, also known as Bailey Singh, was last reported seen at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok on October 5, 2026. He had been travelling alone and had spent approximately a week in Thailand before he was due to return to the United Kingdom.

But Bailey never boarded his scheduled flight.

According to reports, he sent a message to a friend while at the airport shortly before contact was lost. Since then, his family says they have been unable to reach him, and his mobile phone has reportedly remained switched off.

For his mother, Lisa Ely, and sister, Chardonnay Ely, the silence has become increasingly distressing. They say being unreachable for this length of time is completely out of character for him.

HIS LAST REPORTED SIGHTING WAS AT BANGKOK AIRPORT

Bailey’s disappearance was reported on October 5, the same day he was expected to travel home.

Suvarnabhumi Airport is one of Thailand’s busiest international travel hubs, but there has been no confirmed public account establishing where Bailey went after his last reported contact.

His family has been unable to determine whether he left the airport, travelled to another part of Thailand or encountered circumstances that prevented him from getting in touch.

The absence of reliable information has made the search particularly difficult. His relatives are trying to piece together his movements from the limited details available.

There has been no verified public confirmation that Bailey was injured or detained. His whereabouts remain unconfirmed in the reports available.

“HIS PHONE IS OFF — AND THAT IS NOT LIKE HIM”

Bailey’s mother, Lisa, has made an emotional appeal asking whether anyone has seen her son.

She explained that his phone and location services were unavailable, something she said was unusual for him.

His sister, Chardonnay, has also appealed to the public, saying the family is extremely worried and simply wants to know that he is safe.

Their concern is not based on a confirmed explanation for his disappearance, but on the sudden loss of contact and the lack of information about what happened after he missed his flight.

Relatives have contacted the British Embassy in Bangkok and sought help from police. They have also shared appeals on social media and in Thailand-focused travel and community groups in an effort to reach people who might have seen him.

COULD HE HAVE TRAVELLED TO PATTAYA?

One possibility being considered by the family is that Bailey may have travelled to Pattaya, a coastal city southeast of Bangkok.

Chardonnay has expressed concern that her brother could be in the area, but there has been no independently confirmed sighting placing him there.

The family is therefore asking people across Thailand, including anyone who has recently travelled between Bangkok and Pattaya, to look carefully at his photographs and identifying details.

They hope that a hotel worker, traveller, local resident or someone who encountered him after October 5 might be able to provide a useful clue.

At this stage, the possibility of a journey to Pattaya remains a family concern rather than an established fact.

DISTINCTIVE TATTOOS COULD HELP IDENTIFY HIM

Bailey is described as approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall, with curly brown hair, dark brown eyes and a goatee beard.

At the time he was reportedly last seen, he was wearing a blue top, blue tracksuit bottoms and grey trainers.

He also has two distinctive tattoos:

• A jigsaw-puzzle design on the inside of his left arm.
• The word “eleven” tattooed behind his left ear.

His family has circulated photographs and these identifying details in the hope that someone may recognise him.

Even a small piece of information about where he was seen, whom he was travelling with or which direction he went after leaving the airport could help establish a clearer timeline.

THE QUESTIONS HIS FAMILY STILL CANNOT ANSWER

Why did Bailey miss his flight? Where did he go after his last reported contact? And why has his family been unable to reach him?

At present, the available reports do not provide definitive answers.

There has also been no publicly confirmed finding from airport CCTV or immigration records establishing his movements after October 5. It would be premature to conclude that he was the victim of a crime or that he was detained by authorities.

For now, his relatives are focused on finding him and establishing that he is safe.

The British missing-persons charity Missing People has also been reported to have registered an appeal concerning Bailey. The family hopes wider attention will bring forward someone who knows something about his whereabouts.

“WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE HE IS SAFE”

For Lisa and Chardonnay, the distance makes the situation especially difficult. Their loved one is missing in a country thousands of miles from home, and the last reported details leave a troubling gap in his movements.

They are appealing to anyone who may have seen Bailey in Bangkok, Pattaya or elsewhere in Thailand to come forward with information.

They are not asking the public to speculate about what happened. They are asking for help finding a young man whose whereabouts remain unknown.

Anyone with information should contact the relevant local police or the British charity Missing People through its official website at missingpeople.org.uk. If you believe you have seen Bailey, share the location, date and time with authorities rather than relying solely on social media comments.

Until there is reliable information about his movements, his family is left waiting for the call or message that could finally bring answers.

PLEASE SHARE BAILEY’S APPEAL. ONE VERIFIED SIGHTING COULD HELP HIS FAMILY FIND OUT WHERE HE IS.
