A German pensioner who is believed to have Alzheimer’s has been found alive in the Thai jungle a week after she went missing during a walk from her hotel.

Barbara Elisabeth Monika Glag Lange, 75, disappeared after she went for a walk through woodland on the island of Phuket, Thailand, on May 9.

The only clue police had was that she had told another guest she ‘was going for a walk to a house on a mountain’.

Police said that Barbara left her room at the Maikhao Palm Beach Resort at around 8am.

She was seen on CCTV leaving her room before walking along a nearby road towards woodland on May 9.

The holidaymaker was wearing a blue jacket with a white shirt and black trousers on the day she was reported missing by the hotel staff.

The ensuing search and rescue operation covered more than a 50 mile radius from the hotel.

Local council chief Bancha Thanu-in said: ‘The rescue teams covered a large area using cameras and GPS technology. We used helicopters, boats and searched on foot. We are very relieved that we have found the tourist alive.’

Another German tourist also went missing this month. Leon Isiman Samuels, 21, had to be rescued after he was trapped between two large rocks when he decided to walk from the airport to his hotel upon arriving by taking a ‘shortcut’ in a forest next to Nai Thon beach.
