How about introducing the Rusky to "Thai Rules" and mainly the rules of a stay in a seedy Thai jail, in the ladyboy unit ????

Well, his girlfriend has no price tag on and is left unattended now...

[richard_smith237]

Is it just me or does this excuse seem as equally irrational and illogical of many of the colloquial Thai rules we experience on a regular basis? - the Rusky may well fit in here !... 

 

(Note: not to Thai bash - some of the local colloquialisms are lovely)

[Beggar]

In jail he will not need a watch but perhaps a calendar.

Nonsense off topic post removed.

Does this mean i can go to russia and steal parked  cars because  they do not have price  tags on  them and people hats a pets  extra lol

[BigC]

Anyone fancy going on  a shopping  holiday in Russia???

In mother Russia, everybody get free watch.

[sawadeeken]

I think he (the Ruskie) would have done better to say........ That he wanted to let Prayut's right-hand man - PRAWIT 'Borrow' it for a 'Photo shoot'....... LOL .......

[ballpoint]

I thought Russian rules involved there being six identical watches on the counter, only one of which will get you arrested.

whats a gatoy ? I know a khatoey is a ladyboy but never heard of a gatoy

[natway09]

The Ruskies will try anything !!

[Pilotman]

Remember Putin walking away with Robert Craft's ( Owner and CEO of the Patriots) Super Bowl ring.  Maybe they are just all kleptos when they get the chance, or following the example of their esteemed President.   The Oligarchs also walked away with most of the old USSR's industrial assets, so there is clearly a National pattern of behaviour here.

Silly numb nut. One more pathetic idiot out of Thailand I guess.
