We have two Russian couples in our village that this is exactly their situation.  Both of the men are in their early twenties, brought their wives and children.

If they don't purchase an Ed. Visa as my young Russian couple neighbours did, or try to obtain one the legal way  ( now have moved ) should be bound for Moscow sooner than later......

They probably aren't legal. Not everyone has the coin for an elite VISA or met the criteria for the LTR. Many Russians are abusing ED Visa's or Tourist Visa's. It isn't even hush hush. Agencies on Facebook are advertising ED Visa's without the need to attend class. online or in person. Outside of the elite and LTR there are very few options for them. Immigration will be either flat out deporting people or will take bribes and sweep it under the table.

    Give the guy a break. He appears to be an 80 year old American Sexpat based in Pattaya. We shouldn't be surprised he only associates with similar.
