A backpacker who moved to Thailand after watching Leonardo DiCaprio film The Beach was found hanged in his hotel room 'after feeling pressure to come home'.

Jack Davies, 21, was found dead 6,000 miles from home, moving to the tropical paradise after seeing the Danny Boyle cult movie, an inquest heard.

 

The tragic globetrotter spent three years partying with fellow travellers before settling down on the picturesque Phi Phi islands, off the coast of Phuket, for work. 

 

Mr Davies stayed in Thailand after his tourist visa expired and worked in a bar.

 

He was said to be having the 'time of his life' on the idyllic islands, exploring the white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and stunning mountains. 

 

But friends said he felt 'under pressure to go home' to Llanelli, south-west Wales, before his death.
