Russian Actress Dies After Wave Sweeps Her Away During Yoga in Thailand

A Russian actress tragically lost her life after being swept away by a wave while practicing yoga on a beach in Thailand. The incident occurred during a peaceful yoga session, highlighting the potential dangers of outdoor activities in natural environments. The actress’s death serves as a reminder of the unpredictable hazards that can arise in serene coastal settings.

The 24-year-old was vacationing with her boyfriend when the tragedy occurred. Russian actress Kamilla Belyatskaya tragically passed away after being swept away by a massive wave while practicing yoga on a beach in Koh Samui, Thailand, according to Metro. She was on vacation with her boyfriend at the time of the incident. A video of her final moments before the wave hit has circulated widely, showing her meditating when the wave suddenly dragged her into the ocean.

A bystander attempted to rescue her, but unfortunately, was unable to save her. Her body was later recovered a few kilometers from the site where she was swept away. The Russian tourist had previously shared her deep affection for the exact spot where the accident occurred.

‍
She had visited this particular location frequently during her trips to the island, describing it as her "home" and "the best place on earth."
Expressing her admiration for the place, she posted on social media: "I love Samui so much. But this place, this rocky beach, is the best thing I've ever seen in my life. Thank you, the universe, for me being here right now. I'm very happy. I'm happy."

On the day of the tragic incident, Belyatskaya had gone to the Lad Ko Viewpoint to enjoy the waves, arriving in a red car, which was captured on CCTV. She then walked to the rocks alone, retrieving a pink foam mat from her car's trunk. Later, the mat was seen floating in the turbulent waters off Koh Samui.

Rescue teams arrived promptly, within 15 minutes of the actress being swept into the sea. However, the rough conditions made it difficult for them to save her. Chaiyaporn Subprasert, head of the Samui Rescue Centre, explained that warning systems were in place across the beaches of Koh Samui to alert visitors to potential hazards.

He emphasized, "During monsoon season, we constantly warn tourists, especially in high-risk areas like Chaweng and Lamai beaches, where red flags indicate no swimming. While the incident occurred at a viewpoint and not a designated swimming area, the victim may have been caught off guard by the unexpected wave surge."
