PHUKET: Relatives and friends of Russian national Inna Ibukhova, 39, have appealed to the residents of Phuket for help in their search for the woman, who went missing on Koh Samui in April but is claimed to be last seen in Phuket on May 11.

 

The family of Ms Obukhova began their search on April 24, when the woman did not return from Samui to her home city of Blagoveschensk, in Russia’s Far East, as expected last month.

 

Ms Obukhova was enjoying her Thai vacation on a package tour and entered the country using the visa exemption rule, allowing Russian tourists to stay in the Kingdom for 30 days. According to the publication in a search support social media group, Ms Obukhova’s permit to stay in Thailand should have expired last Saturday (May 12).

Mmmmmm, Thailand ? Russia ? Thailand ? Russia? 

Tough decision....

 

Hope she has just decided to enjoy herself and nothing has happened to her...

Fingers crossed that you are right.

The tourist left her room with her passport and cash only, leaving all her other belongings behind.

What to make out of that?

 

Blagoveschensk: really far in the east (Amur region near Chinese border).

But Google was there

A hotel security guard (the hotel will be identified later) is definitely sure that he saw Inna in Phuket on May 11.

No offence, but I wouldn't bet on that.
