Concerned about BF who is travelling. No contact and hasn’t been on his phone

[Sully9]

He was travelling with friends but they’ve left to go somewhere else and he’s stayed in Thailand. No contact with isn’t normal and Today it’s been 21 hours since he was last active on any social media’s. Would you be worried not sure what to do?

Well still nothing but thanks to some of you for the reassurance. We have been together for quite a lot of years now and this was something he has always wanted to do and I also hope he’s enjoying himself

sorry to say but from experience it’s mostly he’s met someone there and is having a holiday fling. Temptation is everywhere. I even know someone who went to Thailand and met someone out there and they are making plans for her to come over here for them to get married

Sorry to be blunt but it’s very true. I hope this isn’t the case for you though.

Why dont you contact his parents or siblings op

Oh for goodness sake! As soon as anyone mentions Thailand, people in here jump to stupid conclusions!

Is there a subset if tourists who travel there for the sex bars etc? Yes. But far, far more go on standard holidays and backpacking trips because it's a great country to visit. I've been several times and I know many others who've done solo backpacking trips (including men!) with zero interest in the sex scene. It's the classic backpacking country for those wanting to travel through south east Asia.

🙄

21 hours - seriously.
He's on a much anticipated holiday.

He may have lost his phone/ be having phone data issues because of his location.

I took would worry, but I tend to be anxious. Do you know where he most recently was?

Give it a few more hours and if you are concerned, check in with his friends (even if the have split up, they will have a better idea of where he has gone).

He is in holiday, he will check in when he wants, he is not a child

I hope you've heard from him and all is well.

Hopefully you will hear today. Try not to worry he probably has no signal.

For a sudden complete loss of communication I think it’s far more likely to be a phone / signal issue than jumping to this conclusion OP. If he was trying to conceal a holiday fling from his long term partner surely he’d have sent a quick text to put her off and stop her wondering what’s going on.

It seems highly unlikely that he's gone off with another woman. Honestly, some people are so nasty and unkind!

I would ask his friends and family if they've had any news from him. Try not to worry!

Do you have him on find your phone? If yes you could ring the place he was in last.

I spent a long time backpacking and it’s very normal to find yourself staying in an area with no signal and thinking “crap, should have warned family this could happen and I’ll be awol for a few days til I get back to a built up area”.
Also normal to lose phone/have it stolen, go out on a big party day/night without taking phone, lose phone charger, or just not want to be on his phone (although he should have warned you if he wanted a bit of time out from using his phone).

Eldest was backpacking last year in Thailand with partner. Quite a few times there was no activity on phone due to no signal/wifi.

@WaltzingWaters is right. A friend and I went to a remote island off Panama for three days. I thought to warn my family that there might not be any phone signal there. My friend didn't. He arrived back in civilization to a torrent of anxious messages.

Hes somewhere remote with no signal. Can you see his friends presence online?

I can imagine I’d be just as worried as you! I feel the same if DH hasn’t contacted all day when at work lol! There is always a plausible explanation! Am sure there’s just no signal.. would be most likely reason. Don’t listen to others about affairs!

I had my phone stolen there so it’s highly likely a phone issue

He’s probably too busy enjoying himself. If he wanted to get in touch he would, from computers in hotels and hostels to buying a cheap phone and SIM, where there’s a will. I say this as someone who didn’t contact her Mum for three weeks because I didn’t want to shell out the 10 dollars for 10 minutes in the dial up era.

Thailand is a huge country, He could be snorkelling in Koh Samui or hiking in Chiang Mai. The different pace and opportunities have probably made mindless scrolling and SM redundant.

Some of the responses to this post show exactly how toxic women can be (yes, some PPs may be male).
They have trashed Thailand as some massive sex shop, and believe that any male who visits, merely visits to shag themselves senseless or bring home a subserviant woman as a wife.
Then they pounce on the OP for being concerned (too early) or naive
🙁

Maybe he is trekking or on an island.I backpacked alone in Thailand a couple of times and went back recently with family.Completely normal to have no signal.Also completely normal to go to Thailand NOT to have sex with prostitutes.Hope you are OK after some of the posts on here Op and he is back in touch soon.

If someone's partners wanted to go to the shop for a packet of crisps they would be accused of having an affair on here but it is normal not to be in constant contact

Being neurotic does not keep anyone safe and if my partner had a go at me because I didn't contact to their standards they would called controlling by me, the excuse 'but I have anxiety' means that anxiety should be addressed not the other person having to change what they do

Holidays mean not always in constant coverage areas either but of course being dramatic seems to work more, and they say females are calm and level headed not!

Such a weird reply...
