Trolleen Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The Russians spend much more than people from western Europe. I'm have been living in Russia before. I know about it. Only problems with Russian that they spend to much money in bar, get drunk and like to box people around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At Jomtien beach I’ve found the Russians to be well behaved and friendly, most are individual families rather than large tour groups. Have had conversations with the odd one who speaks some English, and was even given some fruit once. I’m going to have to revise my Russian for “I’m sorry, I don’t speak Russian”.

But not sure the quality is here, they come in charter (Low cost tickets) probably with an all inclusive reservation (Hotel and breakfeast) and looking at the photo they don't even have the money to buy beach towels (No need to talk about paying 100 bhats for a deck chair and an umbrella) so how much bahts are they going to inject in the local economy? Not so much imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would pack out the traditional massage parlours and spas , certain restaurants but very few in the bars. Late at night you would get a few hunting for girls but often sloshed and as I said , averse to paying bar prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A match made in hell. lol ......do you, even for a minute, stop and think of what you said? If you feel so superior, why did you lower yourself to their 'level' of holidays, or are you actually residing here from your normal privileges?
