Crazed Belarusian man hospitalized in Phuket, seeing good and bad ghosts

A Belarusian man was taken to the hospital yesterday in Phuket after becoming frantic and disappearing into a rubber plantation, claiming to see dead people. He was later found walking down a street naked.

At 7pm, Thalang Police Capt. Norot Boonsiri sent officers and rescue workers to search for a crazed foreign man who was reported to have taken off his clothes before running into the rubber plantation across from the Shell gasoline station on Thepkrassattri Road in Thalang.

The man was later named by police as 34-year-old Kirill Belov from Belarus.

While searching for the man in the plantation, police were notified by local resident Mongkonpat Poopanna, 34, that he had spotted a naked foreigner walking down the road not far from the area where he was last seen.

Mongkonpat told police that he tried to ask the man if he needed help but the man seemed delusional, so he called police.

Police arrived to find Belov in a trance-like state, they managed to calm him down before taking him to Thalang Hospital, where doctors gave him a health examination including a check of his mental state and for drugs.

A friend of the man, Aliaksandr Siarheyeu, 34, also from Belarus, told police that the two of them came from Chalong on a motorbike and were heading to Thalang when Belov started talking and acting strangely, so he stopped the vehicle.

Police were told that Belov ran off screaming that he could see dead people, both good and bad. He then took off his clothes and ran into the rubber plantation.

Siarheyeu also told police that Mr Belov started acting strangely when they were on Koh Samui last week, but it was not anywhere near as bad as yesterday’s incident.
