Pattaya, Thailand - Russian billionaire banker Alexander Alexandrovich Svetakov’s super yacht “Cloudbreak” has been spotted across the Pattaya area over the last day and as of this evening could easily be seen from Jomtien Beach in the Sattahip and Bang Sarah area.

 

The vessel made big press last week when it docked in Koh Samui, drawing divisive opinions from a variety of viewpoints, notes TPN. After going off the news radar for a bit, it now appears Cloudbreak has emerged in Pattaya as of this past weekend.

 

Tourism industry experts and Koh Samui officials practically gushed over the visit, claiming it was the return of high-value tourists to Thailand.

It's surely nice inside but what an ugly looking boat. Maybe it's there to repratriate a few Ruskies from Jomtien to Vladivostok? Or how about some boat parties? Could be a good earner...

Because it's moored in Phuket.  Secondly TAT/government/connected people told him Phuket is an upmarket resort ???? Thirdly TAT/government/connected people did not tell him there was Monkey Pox in Phuket so once he found out he choose to stay on board perhaps.

Where did I say that? 

 

I'm saying these stories about wealthy Russians and their yachts is getting old. 

 

[daveAustin]

The op image doesn't do it justice. Sunseeker great for knocking about in but would basically be a toy for these people compared to this beaut.

 

 

Mind you, I still prefer the Gertrude from Superman Returns.
