"They brought the boat to shore. Inside was a broken down old bicycle, a rice cooker, some clothes, an axe, two oars - and an incoherent Russian man."

 

Could have understood it if he was rowing AWAY from Pattaya with no friends, no passport  no ID, and no money by the sounds of it!

 

He had a rice cooker.. That indicates a Thai woman was involved.

Another quality Russian tourist on his way to Pattaya for the high season. You see TOT was right, it will be a bumper year for tourism in Pattaya.

Well the plight of this guy is nothing to laugh at, but many of the posts on this thread are, good work guys!

Those quality Russian tourists are coming in droves to Pattaya by land, sea and air. Maybe TAT will feature this one in a press conference.

Ruski Waters?

[tryasimight]

Perhaps he had heard that Pattaya was going to be full of international hiso ladies going sailing and he wanted part of the action?

Might have a set of golf clubs stashed in the boat somewhere as well.

Definitely a possibility, and maybe more than one! Especially as he also had 2 "oars" Maybe a misheard word? (e.g. Fork handles - 4 candles!)

Sad to say but it seen that all the weirdos coming from other country  are making the news these days it don't look good for any of us here in the foreign land of the Smiling Thailand.

That and his "lost" mates...

Reminds me of a story a Filipina friend told me of her overnight ferry crossing somewhere in the Philippines.

 

She said 3 people died overnight: one guy got drunk and fell overboard, another was old and had a heart attack. But, the third one, that's the kicker. She said he was a young guy, and he forgot to wake up in the morning.

OK, funniest story I have read in ages. LOL.

[wvavin]

As a quality tourist he must have contributed a lot to Thailand.

[madusa]

I heard the mental health care is very elementary in Thailand, is that true?

Almost none existence.

Any dead bodies with wounds that fit nicely to the axe found yet? I have a strong feeling that someone in Russia is telling the mentally ill people to go to Thailand and enjoy themselves. So they came.

You mean to say they cringe when they see farang?  I was in this restaurant I heard this waiter said to his colleague , "Could you get a glass of warm water for this homicidal looking farang".

He must have got a nice tan in that watercraft.

Can't wait to find out what they found in that big water tight container...

[balo]

Just a Russian without money , so he try to survive in the wilderness. Normal behavior in Russia.
