Seems like the Russians are doing the same as the English and Scandinavians did in Spain years back and hunkered down in specific areas. No wonder the prices are sky rocketing. Locals not to pleased with it according to Swedish newspaper. Locals quoted saying that the Russians are acting like the new kings of Phuket and have scared away a lot of their regular tourists from Europe. No idea if that's the case.

Chilling on Koh Phangan atm and here is a few.

Seems like the rain arrived and forecast is pretty lousy for visiting tourists like me. Ohh well. At least it's good for the plants and hopefully can help with water issues. Guess it time for the old hide and seek in bars between rain showers ???? Cheers ????

Can i chip in with a few quetions and thanks in advance even if you do not answer ???? Which ones did you skip? Have to apply for the first time for a single entry tourist visa 60 days and it's a bit confusing. They ask for accommodations. Do they want all the booking we made? So far booked 7 different hotels on Samui/Koh Phangan. Or just the first stay? Confirmation of legal residence? No idea what that is, since we don't get a residence card or anything here in Denmark. We got our social security card with an address, will that do? Passport pages for showing travel the last 12 months. Travelled in Europe but no stamps, so just leave that one alone or show them a photo of empty pages in passport? Applicant must apply for e-visa via specific Embassy/consulate conforming with his/her consular jurisdiction and residency. Applicant is required to upload document that can verify his/her current residency? Again that's not a thing here in Denmark other than printed on our social security card . Leave Blank or include social security card ? Yeah i'm confused ????

Many European flights does not require masks anymore, even if BA5 if on the lose at the moment and the BA5 are suspected to create a new wave across Europe this summer if not all over. We do not have to wear masks during out 6 hour flight to Tenerife from DK. Seems like there is a huge difference from airline to airline across the world.
