Popular Post balo Posted February 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2019 There are 1000's of them around , not paying taxes, selling products to Russian visitors. Here in Naklua, Pattaya I pass at least 6 Russian owned shops. The staff are Russian , no Thais involved. Still they are allowed to carry on, until someone had enough, when the locals realize they are stealing customers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freedomnow Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) So according to the new rules, just fined and deported...without the IDC over their heads maybe more will just risk it...though that recent at-home online English teacher it was not known why he got jailed..but members guessed he was on over-stay. There was a new police order floating around about that 'no jail' change but whether its actually being enforced or not is another thing....if enforced, its bone broth meals for all that lot at IDC and double priced 7-11 items till they can pay their fine and over-priced flights out !

FarangDoingHisThing69 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Russian service is always head and shoulder above Thai service. Burmese service is also superior to Thai service. Very rarely have I seen a Russian or Burmese service worker playing on their phone.Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a matter of time until the "crack down" and photo op. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
