Phuket, the Hub of Villains . I have to ask why would a Swiss national have a 50 million baht painting in Pattaya  ? Did he buy it in Thailand ?  Or did he bring it here somehow evading duties ? or was it not really that value ? Who knows but it seems a pity that the Thailand on the one hand have caught these Russians in Phuket yet another band of merry men wants  to allow Russians back in asap. More paintings they want stole perhaps

Three Russians though were arrested for - not allegedly - skipping bail.

Nothing in there answers the questions.

So not a Smart Olek or Smart Alek at all.

"claimed they had bought the painting." - Yes because innocent people always beat the person they are trying to buy something from, and later skip out on bail.
