Are Russian's "flooding in"? Why use provocative language like that?

What might you suggest that reflects large numbers?

Overrun? Better to avoid 'invade' I guess.

With more than one million licensed growers, it will stay legal.

Getting back to pre-Covid numbers and of course far greater than during Covid. Plenty numbers have been bandied about. A stroll round Jomtien and Wong Amat may confirm it. A pal recently back from Bali commented on their numbers there.

Any incoming party that successfully outlawed it probably wouldn’t last more than one term, having upset swathes of the populace and lost a lot of people a lot of money.

Indians lolling around in groups just lookie loos, or groups of Russians... Which would you prefer to see more of?  Oh add those groups of dozens of Chinese mass tour groups that wander around just clogging the streets.  I long for the days when Pattaya had a low season.  So few crowds.  One could safely cross second road.  Jomtien beach water was actually swimmable
