True, I don’t see the ones who stay here as a happy smiling folk. They do avoid all contact , always have. I’m often spoken to in Russian by market stall holders, I always say I’m English and speak a few words in Thai. I don’t think I look Russian at all, strange, the Thais weren’t so keen in speaking English a few years back.

These scam emails have become more frightening and threatening every day. Obviously, a few fragile people fall into their nets. These criminals need wiping out.

Hi, has anyone been to Suvarnabhumi lately ? I’ve been warned that the delays after check in are terrible ? Im flying with Singapore Airlines to Singapore with the 12.15 flight on Sunday 2nd of April. I was counting on checking in baggage at 9.15 am which is 3 hours before. A passenger told me that there were signs up saying for departures to be there 4 hrs before ???? Has passport control and security become that bad ?? Thanks for any feed back. I find this ridiculous.

And what about the Russian children ??? Do they not have to be schooled ? Seems to me each family has 2/3 kids tagging on !! And insurance ??? i also think the Russians wanting to leave have been planning this for quite a while. I remember last year on Kata beach, groups of Russians talking earnestly for hours on end. One Russian restaurant had long queues outside .This exodus was planned.

Seem to me that there are a lot of Russian places opening up, restaurants, laundries , agencies, even a massage lady told me her business was bought by a Russian man. They openly work in certain big condo complexes like the one I won’t mention not far from Jomtien night market. They might have work permits or Thai company style business, elite ? Or the new long term visa ( forgotten name) but it’s obvious they are settling in and not snowbirds.

What Sunscreen Do You Use and Why Do You Like Your Brand?
geisha replied to connda's topic in General Topics
I use Shiseidô,Japanese make , best of everything , but expensive. I like a tan, but moderate . I wear a hat in the sun, and UV protective tshirts . Avoid 11am to 16h exposure. All sun loving nationalities have high % of skin cancer. -
I have a question for Big Joke, who, by the way, I think is doing a fantastic job of getting rid of the worse elements of visitors to Thailand , and those who facilitate it. Why, is it so easy for the Russians to be welcomed into Thailand when I have trouble getting a legal visa in my country because the process is so difficult and long ?? Is it only money that counts or what ? Is it because the Russians are buying up the long standing empty condos that nobody wants, what is the reason for wanting to create Russian ghettos and all the trouble that comes with it ?

Myanmar - Tachiliek border run.

I have Burmese friends in Yangon and they all advise tourists to stay away. It is still unsafe and you are contributing by using their airlines and facilities belonging to the cruel government dictatorship. -
I’d say this, I live in a beach town south of France half the year, and the local gals would never ever wear the skimpy outfits, cling clothes, that the girls often wear here !!! It’s considered very * common*. Yes on the beach, tiny bikinis , but not the stuff many girls here wear here evenings. Look at some of the shops what they sell!!!

A few of you on here know who the trouble makers are. They are thugs living of drugs money and stolen cards in France, skimming etc is second nature to them. Publish their names, then shame them. Your normal French tourist is like any other normal tourist. They don’t go round terrorizing the neighborhoods , dealing, treating their Thai hosts like dirt. I once intervened in a gang of this type , in broad daylight near 2nd rd Patong, surrounding a young Thai girl with their bikes , driving round here in circles !!! I’m a female, and speak fluent French, I took out my phone to call police and screamed at them a few words to let them know I was filming .They drove off. We had to pick the girl up off the floor in a terrible state. That’s what this kind do. They do it in France too, but at 3 am. Rob, deal and scam is their lives.

Why talk rubbish ? NHS has nothing to do with travel insurance outside Uk, and all Brits know this. Travel insurance is widely used, some companies are better than others. My family have the best travel insurance and have had for many many years. So do my friends . There again , some people, not only Brits, don’t read the small print at the bottom of the policy. This is often where the problems begin when there is illness or an accident., or they have overlooked the duration they can spend in a country, as one young girl who had a very bad accident found out, when her travel insurance was valid for less days than she had spent in Thailand ( Asean now not long back) . Pre existing health conditions are also not generally covered. The small print should be large print with a Warning Headline !! Alsso, the rumor mongers here guessing he’s a bad father, drunk, talking on his phone etc should be ashamed of themselves. Look at your own perfect lives instead.

Thai health officials worried about growing number of fat kids
geisha replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It’s all down to education. Get on a bus when school is out, the kids are carrying soft drinks and all sorts of snacks. The parents don’t/ can’t look after their kids properly. Some small ones can hardly walk they’re so fat . Grand parents , parents , kids, all missing education. Diabetic kids in Thailand in overwhelming numbers, I’ve often noticed that older people are slim , and when I look at the school photos over the years, if there’s one or two *chubbies* in a class of 30 that’s a lot. Overweight leads to all kinds of dangerous health problems. Sad. -
