A long long period under communism where all are equal, no need for politeness as it may be construed as deference mentality! China was like that when I first stated visiting 30 years ago. Boy did they learn and change quickly! But not the Russians and some other East Europeans. Will take much longer if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandrabbit Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 My wife has a small resort and our best customers and repeat customers are Russian families and we find them polite and respectful. They always bring us gifts and invite my wife to breakfast everyday when she does her checks in the morning. Even had one guy weld a bracket on the gate when it broke (Thai build). Our guests seem to be middle class and always laughing and joking but they are initially suspicious people but I can't judge them on that after working in Russia and how they have been treated by their own governments. They are careful about money because of the exchange rate but then so are us Brits at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

looking on the bright side Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Most of the Russians are well behaved people, they come with their families, and their men don't hang in night bars looking for a woman like so many men from other European countries. The Thai visa forum have a significant numbers of haters posting their toxic views all the time, they don't accept what is perceived not to belong to their civilization.

Jingthing Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 in Latin America americans, europeans and other "english speakers" can't speak a world of Spanish. miserable buggers. What latin american people think of them -- go figure. [emoji41]That's not my experience. If you go to a resort sure but outside of there at least limited Spanish is expected.

Yep, 28 days holiday for 34.000 thb, with flight and hotel is cheap. On peak season Europeans can pay 34k thb just for air fare. And 34k thb for 28 day vacation is same ball park as 15k thb for 10 day holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
