You can use the crime stories that Asean Now has published since January. You will be disappointed to learn that the 3 groups you target have a lower likelihood of criminality than EU and British nationals.Sun, 24 May 2026 03:34:26 +0000I believe the National Guard are having some effect in cleaning DC up. This particular area ????Sun, 24 May 2026 03:32:51 +0000There are few actual articles detailing criminal activities of Israeli or Russians. There are however, multiple entries in the Forum from people repeating and embellishing stories and coming up with idiotic claims of criminality. The Israelis have a lower incidence of criminal activity than other nationalities, and when they do engage in criminality, it is almost always minor drug offences. The visa issues are relatively infrequent and minor too. The same for the Russians, except, instead of drugs it is drunk and disorderly, and their visa problems are relatively infrequent. Thee may be a large number of Russian criminals in Thailand, but unlike European and British thugs keep a low profile and don't make trouble. A review of the crime reports will show that petty opportunistic thefts are often Myanmar workers. Europeans and British nationalities are at the top of criminal activity reports; Drugs, fighting, fraud and theft. The scooter gangs that were tormenting Phuket were French. The drug dealers who are trying to export back to the UK are British. Not a Chinese, Russian or Israeli was involved.Sun, 24 May 2026 03:31:06 +0000A troll post advocating assassination of the President and the replies have been removed.

Most farangs 'running' business here use Thai nominees who are little more than signatures on a form. They are 'supposed' to have, and be able to prove they have, a significant financial inveestment in the business to 'prove' it is a legitiamte Thai business, then I guess the farang gets a workpermit to be the operator and junior partner. So identifying these people could lead to trouble for them.Sun, 24 May 2026 03:25:41 +0000Thanks for clearing that up.
