Koh Samui: Berserk Russian arrested after swimming butt naked onto luxury yacht

An out of control Russian national was taken into custody after swimming naked onto a yacht at the Seatran ferry terminal in Bang Rak Bay on Koh Samui on Sunday evening. 

A member of the public called 191 and local police and tourist police responded. 

They got in a long tail boat and found 34 year old “Alexander” rummaging around naked for a key on a luxury yacht moored in the marina area. 

He had swum there after ditching his clothes on the pier. 

Officers chased him around the yacht until he was taken into custody. 

A pair of shorts were found but the Russian still resisted meaning that cuffs were necessary, reported Manager. 

He was then taken away in a vehicle to the tourist police HQ to calm down. 

He said he had been arguing with his wife and wanted to get things off his chest.

Police thought there was more to his escapade than high jinks – they think drugs were involved.

He was charged with creating a public disturbance and held while they waited for the owner of the yacht to show up to see if they would be adding criminal damage to the rap sheet.
