whitemouse Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 1 hour ago, looking on the bright side said: 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. I bet Russian would love to hang at "night bars", but since they travel with family, they are not able to. And since when is hanging in night bar a bad thing? That is what people do while on holiday.

chado Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Why do people/tourits assume that they/tourists may judge what kind of other TOURITS may come to visit Thailand? The authorities of Thailand let them do so? RUSSIANS WILL come, whether you all like it or not. And they won't need to ask your permission. And this is how it is. ???? You better come to them in real life and tell them that face to face -- that you don't like them. Will you all be brave enough to do so? ????

Your wife “sapek inglit leeten bit” herself, doesn’t she? By the way. Thais always treat their paying customers with respect. It’s part of their culture. Can’t imagine your wife bad mouthing her customers unless she is trying to please you because this is what you like to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. +1 Only decent post so far. Most Ruskies I've meet over the years, mainly in Europe, were spot on. As you said, initially wary, but once trust has been won, they were generally decent folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hablas español 1 First I was joking 100% by "this explains that" so it's useless to attack me, secondly I should have said hablo español for sure, a language I did not speak for decades but I have loved so much as the more beautiful in the world for me, it is not, of course, my mother tongue and because I add wrongly yo "???? grrrr you do not speak Spanish" I have been in Spain a least a dozen time and was understood by the Spaniards, each more charming than the others I met in spite of my mistakes. Like in English sometimes I make huge mistakes absentmindedly because it's not my mother tongue. But let me congratulate you on your perfect integration to TV, your aggressivity for no real reason will quickly make you a valued member????

Youlike Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 2 hours ago, whitemouse said: 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. yes i agree and they also book proper hotels for 3-4-5000 a night. Plus they do daytours many times...and usually won't eat much from the streets... There must be plenty of rich Russians from Moscow but i guess they book their own holidays, not those cheap tours. The Russians i've met were all very rude and i won't go in the same hotel as them anymore. Would rather stay home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have had a few guests from the Siberia side and they have been well educated and I can remember having a great conversation with a couple from Siberia in Kuala Lumpur airport as they were on their way home in winter at the end of their holidays. Been to the Urals in winter, people are people and it's miserable as fk in winter watching old people trudge in the snow but the people in the hotel and bar where we went for food were really friendly. p.s. Russian winter food especially soups are so tasty because they are so full of fat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
