Wait a minute guys this was always the law, just the lazy police never follow it up, How about when you are on your road blocks stopping bikes and scooters for no helmets, no license so no insurance, why do you fine them and let them ride away? No confiscate the bike or car, make the rental company come and collect it from the cop shop, Last week I have some Russian guest got the hump with me because I wouldn't rent them a scooter, he didn't have a license, the problem is he's got one from somewhere, but not from me,

How do you know that?

They get treated like <deleted> from both sides of the boarder, since covid we have got to know a few of them Burmese and they are a canny bunch of people, In our soi there is a row of rooms I think about 10 there all Burmese looks like hey all work in the hotels one couple we got to know both work in a 5 star hotel, they keep the place clean and tidy no noise of any trouble, The one girl we know you should see the house she has built, fair play to her, and her husband will come and change light bulbs for us and plumbing issues, he also gave us a load of plants, Another Burmese woman we know has been here 17 years was telling us she has nothing to go back to, the army ransacked her house and robbed everything. I guess she wont be supporting the junta, A couple of months ago the wife decided she wanted to sell her scooter, the first to call about it were Burmese, they wanted to come and see it obviously, they turned about 6 of them, One of them seemed to be the boss he was doing all the talking, anyway they wanted the bike they paid the cash, the bike was for one of the other guys, what was happening all these guys donate money to the boss man, maybe every month until they have enough money and they will buy the next guy a scooter, before they went they asked me have I got any more scooters, If I find they will buy, quietly he said we buy from farang is better, 555

Maybe for a International hospital they should be employing Russian staff I see plenty of Russians going there when I have had to use the hospital, The hospital staff are not completely innocent especially the nurses their attitude has been really bad on a few occasions, To me it was like they dont like Farangs, One time I was in there with dengue the nurse came in the room I asked her to turn the A/C down, she turned it off and walked out of the room, not long after that some farang manager came to see me and as he was talking to me he asked if I dont like A/C I said I love it but the nurse turned it off, Another time my wife was in accident so she was admitted for a couple days in that new part, and I stayed with her overnight, almost opposite my wifes room was a reception area, at 2-30 am in the night the noise was that bad I went out to them asked them to quieten down and took some photo's as evidence, you should have seen the looks I got, I could go on, but we'll leave it at that. I have noticed over the years Russians do have a bad attitude towards Thai's

They will do soon

I saw the ambulances flying up and down, this was on the Thai news Saturday

Same here in Phuket it's slowing down when I speak to people they all say the same,

You've been spending to much time in the bars,

With all the cash and gold

Where do you start? The land offices would be a good one,

Dont need one

Nigerians

Not telling you

The Brits wont worry they will find other destinations we are good at that, they will just see it as Thailands loss, When you think about it, Thai's never stop complaining about one nationality then on to another, at the moment it's all about the Russians, We go to a place a few times a week to pick up some food to take home, and the woman is complaining about Russians, so I asked her how many Russians do you get coming in here...........? She couldnt answer me, So you are just listing to gossip? She shut up I think she forgot I can speak Thai,

Phuket is pricing it's self out of business, have you seen the rents being asked for?

I don't know who does the planning of the roads, they really need to bring in some experts, Because this is only going to get worse, It's no fun going for a drive no more, we don't do it. The circle at Chalong must have had millions spent on it over the years, they have built a tunnel, it hasn't improved it.

I know a Thai lady who is a pharmacist here in Rawai and she speaks fluent Russian, she has signs outside in Russian and also labels things in the shop in Russian, She owns the business not Russians, nothing illegal.

BOLT is even cheaper,

Never, not in Rawai

I think I know them

If you know that road then early morning is the best time,

2 Adults with 2 kids on a bike, normal around here,

I hope it wasn't them women police officers that caught them

Cooler at that time of the morning especially up there and it would be coming light at that time

Around where I live, Thai's they know the Russians working illegally, Hairdressers and Nails working from home or doing home visits,
