Their loved ones are now begging online trolls to stop leaving ridiculous comments on posts asking for information.
Simon’s cousin, Natalia Lou, posted on Facebook saying: “We don’t need ridiculous comments or negative comments from anyone.
“We just need to find Simon.”
It comes after Simon’s sister Sarah Robinson Dale posted an update about her brother, who is now believed to have caught a flight from Thailand to Finland.
She said in a recent Facebook post: “We now know he boarded the flight to Helsinki on July 26th but did not catch the connecting flight to Manchester.
“Please keep sharing.”
A leaflet Sarah shared on Facebook said Simon’s phone was switched off and he had not made any contact with his family or friends.
It was originally feared that Simon had disappeared in Bangkok with his distraught family, believing he never boarded a plane back home on July 26, despite his phone ringing just minutes from the airport.
In a Facebook post, Sarah said: “We have received confirmation that Simon boarded the flight on 26th July.
“A huge thank you to everyone who shared and to the kind people who discovered this information as authorities on both sides did nothing.
“I’m waiting for a call from the police and the embassy in Helsinki.”
South Yorkshire Police confirmed that Simon’s case had been reported to them, but said they had not issued their own missing person appeal.
Sarah said the information about Simon boarding a plane leaving Thailand came despite the fact that “the UK police had confirmed that he was not”.
It comes after a man claiming to be a Thai immigration officer told them he had in fact boarded a plane.
It is believed he took a Finnair flight from Bangkok-Helsinki but never boarded a connecting jet to the UK.
Simon, from Skegness in Lincolnshire, originally flew to Thailand on July 22 and wasn’t due home until August 3.
But on July 26, he called his girlfriend to tell her he would be coming home early, according to The Lincolnite.

He has not been heard from since.
Simon’s friend Sam Champ took to social media to raise awareness.
He wrote: “One of my dear friends disappeared in Bangkok, no news from him since July 26th.
“He was supposed to board a flight that day and didn’t show up. Yesterday was his 27th birthday and everyone is very worried.
“He was reported as a missing person.
“I have attached a photo of him, his name is Simon Robinson and he is from Lincolnshire.
“If anyone could share this post with someone in Bangkok or Thailand, I would be very grateful.”
The Foreign Office said it was ready to help any Briton on foreign soil, but did not comment on Simon’s case.
The international police organization Interpol said it would not comment on specific cases unless there were “special circumstances” or approval from the missing person’s country.
Another Brit disappeared in Sardinia in July.
Michael Frison, 25, allegedly left his home on the Italian island “naked” before disappearing, according to his worried mother.
