It comes after another British tourist in Thailand was rescued after spending the night lost in a snake-infested jungle. 63-year-old Gordon Dewar was on his way back from a cycling trip in northern Thailand when he decided to veer off from the main road 'to enjoy nature'. The keen cyclist tried to ride through a forest trail in the Phraeo district, but became lost in the rugged terrain on January 10. Gordon found himself unable to make his own way out of the forest before sunset, and so decided to camp out in the dense jungle before calling the police the next morning. The Londoner spent the night camped out in a jungle home to cobras, pit vipers, bears, elephants and leopards before rescue teams were able to find him. Having quickly run out of food and water, Gordon said he was "relieved" to be found. "Without any food or drinks, I don't think I could have survived another night. I want to thank all of the people that helped to bring me back to safety," he said. The Chiang Mai Tourist Police were called at around 10.30am local time, scrambling a rescue mission involving motocross riders and drone operators. They followed the nature trail where they found Gordon "exhausted and dehydrated". The head of the Phrao rescue team said: "He told us that he had been dehydrated for around 12 hours. He called the Tourist Police, who later coordinated with us. We received the report at around 10.30am and reached him at almost 1pm. He had been waiting for help for around three hours. "Around 10 of us were deployed to help him, as the steep path was the obstacle due to the mountainous terrain. We also had to carry his bicycle out. He was slightly exhausted from a lack of water and food, but his overall condition was normal."
