True,  as noted exceptions but in general tend to keep to themselves in the Jomtien area.  Shopping I've never had problems with Drago, they can be a bit pushy but no more than the Chinese or Indians, and then you got the loud and arrogant MiddleEastens.????

Bloody foreigners!!. 555

Now that they are here I hope the Thai vendors that have had a tough economic time the last couple of years benefit from their custom. Sadly no Russian hotties showing up yet poolside in my place.

Polish, Hungarian, Romanian, Czech, Yugoslav would all sound similar.

No, absolutely not.

Hungarian probably wouldn't sound similar like Russian even to you.

What would I, could I do... I don’t know... I suspect if we are 100% honest with ourselves none of us know exactly what we’d do in many such situations until we are faced with that very situation. 

I know what I'd do if I were conscripted and if it was shoot them or them shoot me I'd do the first option and <deleted> the morality.

Run away and get shot for desertion, refuse to obey an order and get shot on the spot. Not many choices for a conscript.

Ban ALL Russians from Thailand! They started the war and only Russians can kick out Putin. Don't allow them to escape their country; they have to stop Putin!
But as we all know, money is No 1 in Thailand and all the rest is just not important.

Why do you even think Thai's care about another European war?

I have no idea why they should or would. It's nothing to do with them.

They have their own problems with a homicidal neighbour, and that conflict seems rather ignored by posters on this forum. Not much outrage on display at all.

Oh, perhaps she was actually with one, who was at the moment among his friends, and, your having watched a lot of porn, your fevered, bigoted imagination imagined a big gang bang! OH YEAH. Or were you in the room as well?

Saw a big expensive Indian wedding at the beach nearby recently. Seen quite a few business conventions at the hotel whose gym I was a member of. Weddings and conventions are a big business TAT: ANF refuses to acknowledge, however, as it contradicts the bigoted narrative and beloved myths.

I think you missed that the point was about Russian's coming to Thailand to avoid conscription in the first place. 

 

Of course, they would now be forced to become perpetual tourists which makes like difficult.

Fair enough, but if they think they can continue to live in LOS once their money runs out I think they are in for disappointment. Can't work, and will the Thai government consider them refugees- IMO not.

I suggest only those who have invaded another country's territory and is also bombarding another country's territory indiscriminately with missiles, killing women and children. It isn't a bloody tango, it is a war. You do an injustice to those murdered in the Ukraine. 

You mean like Afghanistan Libya Iraq Syria Belgrade Somalia and the rest. Oh do we not mention that

Why?

I was living in Pattaya when they were there in large numbers and they didn't cause any problems that I was aware of.

Were they bombing and killing innocent people at the time? They are now, doesn't that bother you?

They speak Russian. They also hang around in small groups in the burbs and aren't apparently going to the bars or with "girlfriends". The clues are out there.

As do most Ukrainians just sayin’!

It is the Russian government at war with Ukraine the Russian people are pretty much all against it but too afraid to speak out for fear of imprisonment,I have met Russians in Malta and The Algarve,Portugal and they are generally nice and friendly people.

I have trained in Martial Arts with a Russian boy and girl in Malta at the Malta Aikido Federation,they were both very nice people although the girl was a little strange!

On a side note the Maltese were so polite they had to be banned by the Egyptian-American Sensei,from saying sorry every time they executed a throw in the Dojo! ????

NO!

The Russian people are nowhere near close to "all" against. That's absurd. Yes, they've been propagandized but please stop spreading obviously false blatant misinformation.

How do you know what airline are the Ukrainians coming with? There are few millions in Europe. And when you read a bit the news from there the local people are not so happy to see the refugee who possess a special status, getting everything free, even pocket money - nothing what the local needy (old) people could dream of - however, they see them driving in not so cheap SUV's, travelling back home and back to their hosts again, enabled to do good business, etc. 

 

And there are also few millions (the Russians say 4 - 5) also in Russia, perhaps some coming with the holiday flights...

I'd hazard a guess that a lot more Ukrainians are at home fighting the Russians than vice versa.

While I agree there are many Russians who don't want to become poorly trained cannon fodder, I am interested in how you know these young males are Russian.

They are wearing Ukrainian national team jerseys?

Sanctions are unfair, glad that we don't impose them here. 

If banning Russians, only fair to Ukrainians too, it takes two to tango. 

 

This has got to be the most stupidest post in the history of TV.     I hope it gets tagged as such.  Fair to Ukraine too?  How?  Then again you are a Thai.  Many of the Thai people I have met supported that criminal murderer, slayer of innocent women and children Putin.  , do you fall into this camp?  Just remember Putin invaded Ukraine for no good reason.  No tango here.

 

Now he bombs Kherson which the Ukraine won back.  What’s Putins response, bomb the sh!t out of it.  If I can’t have it neither can you.  Look it up if you dare.  All over the news.  Then again you are in denial mode, can’t read or see anything which goes against your belief.

 

Putin is a war criminal and should be treated as such.  Time Thais realized this.  Thailand should be ashamed of giving Russian jets permission to enter Thai airspace let alone land.

 

Time you changed your tune.  All is well and good defending your country.  Defending Russians and in particular Putin is your disgrace and everyone here knows it.

 

How would you like it if China invaded Thailand and started bombing critical infrastructure and murdering innocent people including women and children?  Then again you are  intimate buddies with China.  They have already taken over here.  You are just too stupid to see it.

 

Not even your two F35s, if you ever get them or your engineless sub will save you.

Exactly. They keep themselves to themselves.
