Drownings On Chaweng Beach

Featured Replies

Yesterday at 3pm I went to Chaweng Beach near the Centara Hotel and there were police everywhere. I asked what happened and several people reported that two Russians drowned. Can anyone confirm this?

I haven't heard anything but looking at the waves and tides, I would not be surprised.

Conditions are pretty bad at the moment, but still people in the sea on most beaches.

Saw a Russian/Eastern European the other day on Choengmon beach - so pisssed that he collapsed coming out of the water. He lay face down in the surf, just a metre or two from the beach, until a tourist went over and helped him up onto the sand. He could easily have drowned in 6 inches of water there in the surf.

I was told this by staff at the Crystal Restaurant on Tuesday and yesterday she confirmed 1 westerner and 1 Thai drowned, 2 others were rescued

.

what exact date did this happen?

was it morning ?

11.00 am would indicate that it was still during the morning. It was yesterday and mentioned that it happened, yesterday, so it was two days ago, 31st January.

Deduction, Watson, deduction.
