The missing man's bride was due to catch a flight back to Russia from Phuket today, police told
Phuketwan. A search of the sea off Nai Harn and inquiries along the beachfront have failed to produce clues to the man's whereabouts.
HAVE YOU seen this man? Phuket police this afternoon made an appeal for anyone who may have sighted Turchan Inovndrey, a Russia tourist.
Mr Inovndrey, 31, has vanished on his honeymoon.
Police, who learned about his disappearance on Friday, made brief inquiries on Saturday and now hold serious concerns for his safety.
Mr Inovndrey was last seen while walking and taking photographs at Ao Sane beach, near Nai Harn in southern Phuket, on Thursday.
A search of the sea around Nai Harn, Ao Sane and other nearby beaches was made by Marine Police, with the assistance of Chalong police, this afternoon.
Mr Inovndrey had been on honeymoon on Phuket with bride Anna Krivonogi, 28, for about a week, police have been told.
His disappearance was reported by his wife to police on Friday, sources told
Phuketwan this evening.
However, a spokesman for the Russian consulate said tonight that they were only informed about the matter by Chalong police today.
Mr Inovndrey disappeared while out walking with his wife and another couple.
He was last seen taking photographs around Ao Sane beach, where the large rocks can be slippery in the wrong conditions.
A Russian tourist has vanished while out walking with friends, taking photographs at a secluded Phuket beach. Police are organising a sea search off Ao Sane, near Nai Harn.
The toll of drownings and road toll victims on Phuket for 2009 acts as a reminder that safety is of paramount importance, say transport and public health officials.
A dive collision death off Pattaya should mean better safety education for speedboat and diveboat drivers around Phuket, says one expert, who fears uncertain conditions exist here.
A young boy who survived the tragedy that killed a friend at a Phuket beach asks: 'Where's Max? Where's Max?' The island should be asking, 'Where are the lifesavers?'
Phuketwan knows these photos will shock. But a young boy's death by drowning on a New Year's Day holiday is a shocking thing, especially on a beach holiday island.
