Russian Tourist Assaulted and Robbed in Pattaya Woods

A 54-year-old Russian man, Mr. Guvoy, was assaulted and robbed in Pattaya on June 8 after entering a wooded area near Wat Boonkanjanaram to relieve himself. While smoking, he was struck on the head by two suspects—believed to be a teenage male and a younger boy—causing him to lose consciousness. He later discovered personal items missing and reported the incident with his wife to Pattaya police in the early hours of June 9. Authorities have launched an investigation and are searching for the suspects.
