Rescue teams search for Russian man missing at Similan Islands

Marine Police and Royal Thai Navy rescue teams today are continuing their search for missing Russian national Alexey Stashkov, who disappeared from a yacht at the Similan Islands on Monday (Oct 31).
Mr Stashkov arrived at the popular tourist islands on board the sailing yacht Revolution, skippered by fellow Russian national and friend Vladimir Komogorov, explained V/Adm Surapol Kuptaphan, commander of the Royal Thai Navy Third Area Command.
“Mr Komogorov said that he left Chalong Pier in Phuket and arrived at the Similian Islands and moored at Koh Miang (Island 4) on Monday,” V/Adm Surapol told The Phuket News.
“I called out his name and shouted, ‘Where are you?’ I drove the boat around the island twice looking for him, but I couldn’t find him.”
Naval officers have called in fishing vessels and tourist boats in the area to assist in the search, V/Adm Surapol said.
“They are still searching, and will continue the search for now,” he said.
