Apart from Thais working in the tourism sector, does anyone actually want Russians here?
I only found out the other week, a Russian super market here in Phuket, I thought what a strange place to put it, as it was not in a Tourist area, my friend who owns another shop on the same block said it seems to do well,

Well, I think you better get used to it, Just in my tamboon they have invested millions, I don't see any other nationality do that. The one project on Rawai beach front has tidyed the places up and it goes right back inside with Rawai water park, school, and a language school, shopping center,

Down here in the south of Phuket it doesn't seem to be slowing down anytime soon, What is it with Russians and Condo's? I've just found out about a new project that will start soon, and judging by the offices they, built they are not messing about, no doubt the chainsaws will be starting soon as the land has all rubber tree's on there,

We bought a condo 8 years ago here in Phuket and paid 5.9 million baht, I would be lucky to get my money back, the only saving grace it has been a superb rental unit, The property is still in good condition the management do a good job of taking care of the place and the pools,

Russian driver crashes into Thai couple’s motorcycle, denies responsibility
It would be the same in the UK if the motorbike rider, had no license or insurance, he would lose the claim, we don't know the Russian just might be 100% legal, I have known a couple of English guys walk away from an accident because the Thai's had no license and the police could not do a thing about it, One accident I know of years ago a farang hired a truck and had accident with a minivan full of farangs doing a visa run, none of them had insurance, the rented truck or the minivan, the police tried to stick it on the farang with the truck, he didn't know it had no insurance when he hired it, and that minivan had been all the way to Sadao and back with no insurance,
