Another Russian was found without clothes on Pattaya Beach, but
this time it wasn’t by his own choosing.
Ruslan Hamitovieh, 36, complained to police that someone stole his
clothes after he stripped down to his underwear and sat on the beach at
Soi 6 around 2 a.m. May 12.
Asked why he was sitting on the beach in his underwear near the infamous
bar street at 2 a.m., Hamitovieh said he couldn’t sleep, so he went for
a stroll and, to better enjoy the weather, took off his pants and shirt
and placed them next to him.
He was approached by a couple who invited him for a smoke, but he
declined, the Russian said. Ten minutes after they left, he noticed his
clothes - with hotel key and 1,500 baht in the pockets - missing.
