The body of a woman was found washed ashore on Chaweng Noi Beach on Samui Island late Saturday night.
The remains were later identified as being those of a Russian woman who went missing, believed drowned, on Friday. She was swept from a viewpoint into the sea by a huge wave about a kilometre from the beach.
The victim’s boyfriend, also Russian, went to Samui Hospital last night and identified the body.
Police say that an earlier report, that two Russian nationals had gone missing, was inaccurate. They say they checked CCTV footage from and around the coastal viewpoint and found that there was just one woman swept into the ocean.
