 Just wait and see if you dont believe me, we've seen it so many times before, you would imagine the expat community would grow some empathy, but no, they just get more bitter and twisted and lash out at anyone they percieve to be different.

Empathy for what? Two fit and healthy young men who would rather take money from a struggling local than pay their own way for travel that the average Thai can only dream about. Give me a break!

They are Russian young guys.

Nearly ALL are very big drinkers!

 

To believe they just innocently fell on tough times or had some trouble not their own doing? lol

 

Normal people check the budget first, to see if have funds to for WHOLE return trip + money for some possible disaster

 

in English it might be said "life planning"?

 

These guys certainly have a plan..

 

- Get money from gullible farang and good natured Thais (who cant afford to give but still do).

- Full moon party, drugs, piรร.

- Lie to and shag as many Thai lady as possible for free.

- Beg for money to move to the next country.

- Rinse and repeat.

 

 

 

 

 

Thais consider it deeply wrong when farangs try to make any money of them. Opposite seems to be an absolute norm and even a must.

‘Struggling local’ , ‘average Thai can only dream about traveling abroad’...

 

According to google Bangkok average wage is about 800 usd when in Russia it stands at 670 usd.

they should have called Vlad, he said that no matter where Russian citizens are he will go the extra mile to help them....

Yes, the typical white man rich brown man poor trope, all too common here and as we see, not in anyway exvlusive to the Thai's.

From a very basic psychologist?

Not at all, an eminent psychologist and anthropologist, Dr Desmond Morris. Taken from his book "The Naked Ape" a global best seller. In it he states that the only reason a man has for existence is to get laid....as many times as possible.

 

I read, marked and inwardly digested his book and have lived my life by it. No regrets.

I don't think any creature on our planet needs to read a book to know that getting laid is what we are here for....It just comes naturally, unless you had doubts of course...????

Yet we frequently see other TV posters demonstrating their empathy for old men who have thrown all their money away to get laid, so why the double standards?  Its all to so with percieved similarity, when they view these two youngsters they only feel jealous as that was not what they were doing at their age, they were working.  While when they see the destitude sexpat, they see themselves in the near future, its  really very basic psychology.

If you want to compare like and like, compare Bangkok with Moscow, which is $1200 per month.

So she is doing 48 hours overtime per month.  Minimum wage is 325 per 8 hour day so 7800 per month if she works 6 days.  The 48 hours are worth another 1950, total should be 9750.

Wot r u going on about bro 

Can't believe people have got so het up over a couple of daft lads who had a 'brilliant' idea to make a few bob so they could stay in Thailand a bit longer- that's probably all it is!

Eye for an eye.

 

The two Russians are simply doing what most Thai do to farang.

 

Ask for money...

who would be stupid enough to give them money in the first place?

 

It's a cultural difference.

Thailand is conservative, Russian is socialist.

Send them to a Thai gulag for a month to earn their ticket back home. If they disagree they should be thrown in jail so people don't give them any money that would be better off given to people really in need.

I find people begging distasteful wherever it happens and whatever nationality they are. I don't know the circumstances of these two, though I am sure they have other options to get home without having to do this.

Totally agree. Let their relatives in Russia help them out first, followed by Russian friends, followed by Russian acquaintances, then the Russian embassy. Total strangers are not even on the official list of people to ask for help when you're young and don't appear to be in any distress. I assume their non immigrant visas and beggars' work permits are in good order.

I prefer Google, anyway. Thailand is not a poor nation anymore. Especially when it comes to Bangkok averages.

If you say so.  

A few years ago  , at certain times in Suk. there was the Aussie  down and out teacher with a cardboard sign which said "need ticket home " . Wonder what happened to that one . !

Maybe the Russian lads slipped him a dose of Novichok.
