Popular Post internationalism Posted March 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2022 the majority were not just tourists coming for 2 weeks holidays. They expected war and run away. So they planned for funds. If they are digital nomads, traders, freelancers they do have experience how to not rely on only one source of income 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mtls2005 Posted March 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2022 Wonder how many oligarchs are moving yachts, jets, gold to thailand? The russian tourists, assuming they stay past their shelf-life, will end up suffering. The russian ex-pats? Who knows? Some might have local "income"? Others relying on their russian pension might have issues? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 Many of the long stayers will have cashed out their Rubles many months ago, and placed their assets in Gold and Dollars. Its easy for them to open a Bank Account and have transfers made before the Invasion even started. Many even have " Business's " in Thailand For those on a Holiday, they will be "Facilitated " by their fellow Countrymen at high rates of Interest.

Walker88 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 23 hours ago, Pravda said: Wow....it sure does look like these sanctions are working. The sanctions are selective. This movement was caused by a slight relaxation that allowed external russia's FX reserves to be used for a bond payment that came due. A large portion of the reserves are in Western banks, and initially these funds were frozen. That freeze drove the ruble down. When Western govt agreed to allow the external reserves to be used to service russian debt---in payments due to Western institutions---the rubble was suddenly 'backed' again by several hundred billion dollars of hard currency. This morning it's back to about 103 per dollar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henk Langeweg Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Russian mom with her teenage daughter in a Baht-bus at Beach road, Pattaya. Slow traffic and a speedboat pilot ask them "want to go Island? only 600 Baht" Daughter answered "Ok deal! We wanted to go to Phuket anyway". The guy became an instant statue ...

The graph shows strengthening of the Rouble. A week ago, you needed 139 Roubles to buy one dollar. Now you only need 96.5 Roubles to buy a dollar. I think the -29.712% refers to the dollar, not the Rouble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

problemfarang Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 (edited) With all respect and supporting ukraine, I also noticed lot of russian ladies on tiktok or tinder. And they are posting stupid things so you will see their post more often. And it started to be annoying. But i also know they work in bars in pattaya or in sukhimvit area. We all know. So most of them are not runners from the war. They were already here. You cannot imagine how much japan men are paying for russian ladies. Some pays more than 10k just for a night. And believe me russian ladies know better than thais when it comes to suck your blood Edited March 26, 2022 by problemfarang 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
