A Russian businessman lost more than 1.5 million baht when he was
drugged and robbed by a Russian woman and Thai transvestite he picked up in
Jomtien Beach.
Alexander Matusov, 50, was found semi-naked and unconscious by police Dec. 8
in his Bang Saray house. Officers discovered that his safe, containing
$50,000, or about 1.55 million baht, along with ATM cards, banking and
immigration documents, was taken. His Toyota pickup truck was also stolen.
Matusov told police he had retired in Thailand about a year ago. The
previous night, he said, he felt lonely and went to Soi Chaiyapruek where he
met a Russian woman and a Thai transvestite in his mid twenties. He invited
the pair back to his house to drink vodka, where they apparently drugged
him.
Police said they had collected fingerprints and are searching in Pattaya for
the thieving twosome.
