boogiewoogie Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 23 minutes ago, club said: Stop the liberal tears . I know many Russians, been there like 30 times. They love to drink both women and men. If they go to Phuket and most places are closed that's not going to work for them. The single men also like the ladies. If they aren't in Phuket for the guys another turn off for them. Those are facts . Besides that Until Covid has been contained here in Thailand ,once again a major turn off Do i have to drink vodka now? Simply becouse im russian? Well, id rather drink red dry, but if u insist i can take a shot or two. But only if meal is hearthy. But no bars for me. Im married man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russkies love to drink as much as the best of them but it's not a deal breaker. Those in Phuket are usually there not for the booze but for a family vacation to escape winter, enjoy the beach, local cuisine etc. Plebs, drunkards and such you probably have in mind normally go to Pattaya and cheap all-inclusive resorts in Egypt, not to the islands .

Actually, Pattaya was also getting lots of the same Russian families you describe, pre-covid. They were scattered all over Pattaya--in Wong Amat, Jomtien, Pratamnuk, Cosy Beach, etc. Many my partner and I saw were extended families--with grandma and grandpa in tow. They were definitely the most prominent western group when we lived on the beach corridor in Wong Amat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing I liked about the Russians they always book a proper holiday we used to get some great bookings from Nov through to the end Feb always at least 2 weeks, we had a couple recently book for 2 months, Edited August 21, 2021 by ChipButty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating in restaurants - NO . Drinking in bars - NO …. Why on earth would anyone want to travel so far for so little ??when in european summer there is so much open ? Makes no sense…. Just pulling numbers from the air pad thai? 7-11? dual pricing?stimulating conversation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
