Facebook location based people search

I do not use Facebook but I get notifications when someone visited my profile. For a while now I keep getting thai women having viewed my profile. I have no thai people on my FB I also have zero info on my location or any indication I am even in thailand. I showed my Mrs as it was bugging me and she thinks people may be finding me through a whose near type function. I never knew such a function existed on FB but it makes more sense than any other reason I can think of for this sudden surge of visitors I keep getting?

 

Anyone know if this could be the answer?

Ok thanks but what part of Facebook is reporting this data to make users searchable by location?

Did someone tag you in a photo ?

No photo tags or new friends added in 3+ years. I think the other chap may be right and location is playing a part. I cannot find the way to do this  though.
