Three Russian tourists have been rescued while another is still missing after one of them was hit by a wave and washed out into the sea by waves while taking a selfie at the Prom Thep Cape in Rawai.

 

Emergency responders were notified of the incident on Friday (May 12th) at the end of the Prom Thep Cape. They and the Phuket Express arrived at the scene to find three foreign tourists floating in the sea. They were quickly rescued from the water.

 

They told emergency responders that they were Russians on holiday. They went into the sea to help their friend who was doing a selfie taking session before being hit by a wave and being washed out into the sea. Their friend disappeared into the ocean before the Russian tourists called out for locals for help and a search was launched.

Yes, the days of the postcard beating you back home are over.  Instant gratification now showing / stating ... 'hey, look at me, I'm on holiday' ....

 

... oh krap, where'd that wave come from.

I wonder if that's why they flock to Thailand, maybe they fit in nicely?

Mostly the sons of Russian high ranking officials with their families or without. And a lot of money in their pockets.

2 years ago they travelled mostly to luxury European resorts, even not knowing a country like Thailand.
