They even kept my TM6  'Departure' part…isn't that causing headaches…!

they made a mistake; chatter has it you can get another TM6 without too much trouble

[Rangerdriver]

Every hotel I have stayed at has made me pay up front, is there special treatment for Russians.

Maybe they emptied the mini bar and forgot to return the pool towels

That sure can be a pain, but had a friend of mine a few years ago lost his departure card. He went to Immigration with his passport and arrival date / flight number. They issued a replacement no ploblem..

I lost my departure card once: careless hotel receptionist and careless me.

At BKK, the girls at the bottom of the escalator on the way to security were handing out the forms willy nilly so I took one, filled in the departure part, waltzed up to immigration who took it without a word. No drama and no crisis but I was ready for a grilling that never came.

Make a note of the passport numbers. When they eventually try to leave, stop them, imprison them, simple. Young peoples money to live and enjoy themselves will run out and then they will want to get home - then you come down on them like a ton of bricks. Being stopped from leaving the country will really out the fear in them.

The passport scan on the Facebook is a page from Russian ID card. It is not a passport and does not contian any info about crossing the borders. The name is written in Russian letters there, while the passport has English transcript. It seems the guys have good chances to be untraced. 

[Eiva]

And the numbers on ID card and passport do not correspond.

Who cares if they didn't pay? It's not my business, and the owners should take the risks.

Those rooms are currently 27 EUR a night... that + 2 kao man kaille with French frieds stolen and the owner/manager has to travel to another island to catch the bad russians? lol... weird

[EcigAmateur]

I know that it means nothing (of course :-) ) but 5 times when I saw people doing a runner, they were Russian....

At times, when we're becoming old gits, it can be too easy to forget what we got up to in our younger days. Of course, we didn't have CCTV, mobile phones or social media to show everybody how stupidly, irresponsibly or badly we were behaving. I'm sure that I would have made quite a few compilations. Having said that, I didn't go around acting maliciously and certainly never carried a knife or gun. Neither would I go around thieving for that matter.

Every hotel I stay at makes a copy of my TM7 ( Arrival Card ), so the authorities must now know their identities. Just a matter of time.........

I just use my ID card, no need to carry the passport on my travels in Thailand with that.

I'm not Russian and have never had to pay up front.

However, if you are repeatedly skipping out on hotel bills and payment for meals in a foreign country, that is a different story.

 

These guys are sooooo stupid that they should be forced to wear a helmet 24/7 for self-protection.

 

Catch 'em, fine 'em, deport 'em.

 

Good riddance

 

Not so 'Bodoh' Samui.    Skipping like that hurts the little people who need the money.

You get to keep your arrival card ? Immigration always keep mine when I arrive !!

You are really Cornish. How are you going to leave without your departure card. Swimming might be a good idea if it helps you.

 I don't know but I've been told 

The streets of heaven are lined with gold 

I ask you how things can get much worse

If the Russians happen to get up there first

No!!! They should be put in jail for a few months. Maybe they'll learn something from it.

"Their" not "to" bright but you are? Also, the comma comes before "Immigration" and "Accross" is neither capitalized or in need of extra letters.  Pull your pants up.  Your ass is showing.

I am sure they will be able to blend into the background easily and never be caught?? Silly boys but let's hope a spell in the best Thailand Prison Accomodation will allow them to engage in critical thinking! Start writing a letter to Putin fellows because you can run but you can't hide!

[Minnehaha]

the resort in koh pangan gets a ridiculous 71 terrible ratings while about 70 others are spread among bad to okay to good. The comments are priceless. "a little piece of me died at this place" was one! hahahaha
