The raids usually take place just before payday so the employer saves on wages. An (anonymous) phone call is all it takes.

They have been doing that for years down here in Phuket

Dogs can always tell a snake when they see one, 

Can Thailand deport them back to a war zone?

Look at Phuket, now a russian colony. Sharp increase in criminal cases. Bad behavior in public, illegal working, prostitution etc.

Do you live here in Phuket

Aren't most Russians that come to Thailand couples? They fill up the 29sqm condo, spend a little money(x2), and keep very quiet. 

Really? Russians are renting my 57sqm apartments right now, and there is about 200 apartments in the project and it's mostly Russians,

Headline is a bit misleading, in that for 3 months during low season, Russian tourists will be able to enter Thailand visa free for a period of 60 days. They are currently permitted to enter visa free for a period of 90 days.

Read the article, the 90 day ends at the end of this month

OTHER COUNTRIES DON'T WANT THEM. 

Really? you need to get more, 

Ok 300 baht but add that to everything else you buy thats maybe imported, certain foods, stay in a 5 star hotel and everything is plus plus, 160 baht for a chang beer ++ 

Maybe Sansiri will sponsor the race 

Seems ok in Phuket I just checked, from Rawai to the airport 660 baht, Normal taxi's around here 1000 baht

Should have it in Phuket, they have been practicing for years.

Ive just asked the wife about this apparently she has gone from this hotel a few days ago, she got in a truck with a guy and went, dont know where though, close this topic down now

Im told by locals she is causing chaos, going around at night in that hotel banging on doors, many people have checked out because of her, 

Im afraid this woman is becoming a bit of a celebrity in the area, as Thai people are saying why blur out her face, people want to know her face, by all accounts she's in and out of the dope shops, I think there is one next to the hotel where she is staying,

Charge respectable prices and would receive respect in return, I mean really 50,000baht for a splinter!!, Russian's will soon open up medical clinics and treat their own, only a matter of time. 

You might be right, I know a Thai girl who is a pharmacist and speaks fluent Russian, a lot of Russians go to her because of that, I doubt anyone in that hospital can speak Russian, I can tell you I have been in there a few times and English is not that good, infact once a nurse asking me questions in English was so bad I told her to speak Thai, your English is crap, and she was an arrogant piece of <deleted>,

Are the Russians really that bad here or are people just venting? I don't have any experience with them here, hence the question, but I lived with some Russians in the UK and they were nice straight talking people.

No they are not, I have met many Russians over the years here in Phuket ok some are not but that applies to other nationalities, I had to tell a Russian couple last week, "You Smile" "They Smile"
