snoop1130 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 The body of a Russian tourist, who went missing after he and his Thai girlfriend were hit by a speed boat near the beach of Koh Larn in Pattaya Bay Monday evening, was found washed ashore on the island this morning (Wednesday). Koh Ban Villagers on the island found a body, believed to be that of the missing Russian, lying on a rocky beach, about 70 metres from the scene of the boat accident at Tian beach, and alerted the local police. The victim had sustained serious cuts on the neck and left shoulder, believed to have been caused by the propeller of the speed boat. The remains have been taken to the Police General Hospital in Bangkok for autopsy.

I think I swam at Tian once and had to have eyes on the back of my head to keep from getting run over! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrobay Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) People like sandy beaches but safer swimming around the points/rocks. Ta-Yai beach. Naul beach and South end Samae beach are rocky too Edited September 28, 2023 by morrobay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is actually true in training British submarine Captains, if you fail the test you are Never allowed to serve on a submarine again. ⚓ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravip Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 RIP Enrike Rakhman - an unfortunate way to end a holiday. I wouldn't dare to swim where there are speed boats hovering around. Under certain circumstances, it can be difficult to see a swimmer in the water. (No, I am not condoning what happened) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detained and charged mean nothing. Surat Mat-osod was jailed after a fatal boat accident in Krabi. Yet he got out in a couple years (or months) and went back to driving boats at Phuket. Who says you cannot rehabilitate criminals?! Of course he did have another tragic & fatal accident in 2019. Who would have thunk it?
