Two Russian girls were shot on Jomtien beach – Pattaya becomes a dangerous place

Everybody has heard about the murder in Pattaya last Saturday. I think it’s a big shock for all Thai addicts. This beautiful and friendly place becomes a terrible spot now. I didn’t want to write anything before surfing the Net but I saw so many shitty posts in some tourist’s sites. Therefore I connected my Russian friends and took a lot of information about the girls murdered by their friends.
Here is what I’ve learnt. The two Russian tourists, 25-year-old Lyubov’ Svirkova and 30-year-old Tatyana Tsimfer came to Thailand on February 16 from Kemerovo, Siberia. They had bought a two-week trip and stayed at Dragon Beach Resort. Both girls had been working for the same cell connecting company, but in different departments, one in the headquarters and the other in a branch office for retail trade. They had higher education and earned enough money for a good vacation pass to Thailand. The girls had come to the Thai resort for the first time and had not known each other before the trip. Tatyana Tsimfer had intended to travel to Bulgaria but after having seen one of her friends on the departure eve changed her mind. The victims met in the tourist agency office and decided to live together in the room. The looked like they were sisters. These two young ladies were not involved in Russian mafia or prostitution. It is worth noticing that Russian prostitutes make much more money than their colleagues in Pattaya.
So the most common version of “two Russian hookers and their pimp” must be fairly criticized. What is more important is that travel agencies in Russia do not take care to warn their clients about risk. They advertise Thailand beaches as the heart of heaven where the crime does not exist. And of course it could have looked a paradise for the young girls from Siberia. Only this fact could explain the girls’ imprudence. How could it happen that two young girls found themselves on the most distant part of the Jomtien beach at night. After Russian frost and snow they can’t have resisted the temptation to relax on the warm sand and drink some wine. No one trouble to tell the girls that it is quite risky!
It seems to me that Thailand has been turning into a very unfriendly resort. And if 5-6 years ago you could easily take a walk in Pattaya at night, this year even well-built men could feel uncomfortable on the Jomtien beach after midnight. There are a lot of Thai people drinking throughout the night. Drunk young guys got aggressive and their glances menaced and frightened me. Although, it was hard to find any policemen at this time of the day. I am talking about the beginning of the beach, Soi 7-8. But as we know the ladies stayed in the Dragon Beach Resort, which is at the end of it. Certainly it is not the place for lonely girls, who were not warned about danger. I hope the police will find the murders. Otherwise it will be necessary to look closely at Vietnam
