Wednesday, December 04, 2024 - A Russian actress was swept to her death by a wave while exercising on her yoga mat on a popular tourist island in Thailand.
Kamilla Belyatskaya, 24, was swept away from the beauty spot
on Koh Sumui just moments after filming herself on her yoga mat
overlooking the Gulf of Thailand.
Harrowing footage showed the moment a large wave hit Kamila
and washed her into the frothing waters.
A bystander reportedly went into the waves to try and save
her, but couldn't save her. Later the mat was seen floating in the violent seas
off Koh Samui, one of Thailand's most popular islands.
The tourist, from Russia's third city, Novosibirsk, had
been visiting Thailand's second-largest island with her boyfriend, it is
understood.
She had gone up to the Lad Ko Viewpoint to watch the
waves and exercise in front of the view.
She had told her social media followers how she loved this
spot and repeatedly returned to the island, which she called 'home' and 'the
best place on earth'.
Kamila said: 'I love Samui so much. But this place, this
rocky beach is the best thing I've ever seen in my life.
'Thank you, universe, for me being here right now. I'm very
happy. I'm happy!'
Her boyfriend along with eyewitnesses gave statements to
local police on the tragedy.
'The incident serves as a stark reminder of the dangers posed by monsoon conditions, with authorities urging visitors to exercise extreme caution and avoid rocky coastal areas during periods of high waves,' said one Thai report.
