Popular Post fusion58 Posted February 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 19, 2023 My most memorable experience with Russians in Thailand was my (one and only) visit to Pattaya in 2014. The Russians I encountered then acted like they owned the place (and, judging from the signage, they probably did!) 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamenRaven Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Russians typically stick to the beach-type tourist traps in Pattaya and Phuket. They don't enjoy going off the beaten path. You almost never find them in the interior north or in Isan. It's typically NW Europeans who go there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Russia invades another country then people are like: How dare they do that. That is illegal. And why do their people don't oppose that war. And when the USA does it, i.e. the unprovoked war in Iraq without the weapons of mass destruction. Then it's called supporting the troops and all that. Same same, not much different.

Germans could have brought some civilization to Russia if they managed to capture Moscow. The Nazis just made a mistake of being so obsessed with exterminating jews and other minorities. I wonder if they would have been a better option than communists taking over half of Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course based on Russia's geography people crave the beach but I think a bigger factor is favoring places where there are lots of other Russians for support and networking reasons.

Danderman123 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I shouldn't complain about the Russians, after all, I first found out about Pattaya while living in Russia. There were 3 places that Rusdians flocked to: Pattaya, Antalya, and Sharm El-Sheik. So, I just followed them. Aeroflot had a great flight from Moscow to Bangkok, leave at 10 pm, arrive in the morning. The problem was the flight back, which was in day time, on an IL-96 over the Himalayas, problematic for that plane. As I have stated before, I expect many Russians to stay in Thailand for the duration of the war. When the money and visas run out, then you will hear about problems with Russians.
