The sister of a British backpacker missing in Cambodia has said the 21-year-old was having "the best time ever" just hours before she went missing.
Amelia Bambridge, from Worthing, was last seen at a beach party on Koh Rong island at 3am on Thursday.
The 21-year-old was travelling on her own for the first time and had been due to check out of the Nest Beach Club hostel on Thursday.
During a phone call with her sister on Wednesday, several hours before her disappearance, Amelia said she was having "the best time ever" on her trip abroad and "was loving it".
"She went to the Police Beach party on Wednesday night – the last time I spoke to her was Wednesday daytime," her sister Georgie told Sky News.

"She said it was doing so much for her confidence and she found so many people who were friendly.
"She said 'Everyone is so cool here' and couldn't be happier."

A second search party took place on Sunday involving scuba divers, drones, volunteers and police.
An extra 40 police officers have been added to the search, meaning a total of 90 officers will be looking for her on Monday.
Amelia's purple rucksack was found on the rocks close to the shore on Thursday morning.
Police said her purse, phone and bank cards were still in the bag, while her passport and the rest of her belongings were at the hostel – a 40-minute walk from the beach where she was last seen.
Georgie said that Amelia had always wanted to go travelling and had been saving up for two years for the adventure.
"She's literally wanted to go travelling her whole life. She has spent the past two years saving for it and spent the last year reading blogs of travellers, researching what she was going to do," she said.
"She knew everything and was living out her dream – she was happy."
Amelia's other sister, Sharon Schultes, said the last pictures taken of Amelia at the beach party show she was wearing a lilac flower print shirt, navy Birkenstocks and denim shorts.
The last photo of her was taken at 1.19am and she was last seen by friends in the early hours of Thursday.Read More – Source
