Thai authorities have promised to work closely with Russia to ensure the safety of Russian tourists on vacation at the resort and to minimize the number of incidents involving the Russian in the kingdom. This is the result of negotiations Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and his Thai counterpart Surapong Tovityakchayyakuna that took place in Moscow.
Recall that in less than 11 months in 2012 in Thailand died 64 Russians.
Most Russians, who are injured and killed on the Thai resort, are to blame for their troubles. Our tourists are not able to control their cravings for alcohol and die by jumping in a drunken fever from a hotel room, or drown in swimming pools. Russians also often go to ride on rented bikes and get into accidents due to lack of driving experience, unusual because of the left-hand driving and driving while drunk.
Thai rescuers specifically note that Russian tourists do not pay attention to the warnings and go swimming in the sea in any weather, especially in the season of storms. Not wanting to miss precious vacation days, the Russians are going to sea in a strong wave and wind, but to save the tourists, who faced a wave drags and strong currents in the water is not always possible. Therefore, local authorities had set on the beaches, popular with our guests, signs in Russian, because the English warnings tourists did not pay attention.
