A couple months back, my Russian neighbour said many here are Putin supporters I found that a bit shocking, shouldn't be here on the beach and complaining about their tabs at night......... 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus there are online p2p services directly exchanging Russian rubles to Thai baht. It's really not an issue. How do they get Thai Baht from the crypto? All the Thai exchanges require longer term visas and/or work permits to use them as foreigners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at Phuket immigration 2 weeks ago and they were begging for 7 day extensions. It's about to get messy when all these extensions run out and the immigration computer starts flagging dozens, then hundreds, then possibly thousands of overstayers. A big loss of face coming, considering how strict they have been on overstay in the last few years! ???? 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing a home does not mean you cannot go back to your country-and fight for it. Do you think many got on a plane to come here just because their flat got bombed? I dont blame any of them for getting away from it, but they are by no means 'stranded' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter if they have money for a border bounce, they won't be allowed to do do 'visa runs' perennially, and their luck will run out eventually. Refused to enter at a land border will be a real possibility. The Halcyon days of visa running to stay in Thailand indefinitely are long gone.

Popular Post Hanaguma Posted March 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2023 I have been staying in Chonburi for a while now. Each time I go to the beach it is overrun with incredibly unhealthy and rude Russians- grossly obese men wearing banana hammocks (budgie smugglers to my Aussie friends), aged babushkas with their leathery skin flowing out of too-tight bikinis, nasty. Plus not even bothering to throw on a t-shirt if they go to a restaurant or shopping center. Grunting away in their primitive tongue, barging the cues and frightening the children. And littering the place up with cigarette butts. From what I hear, Bali is rescinding the visa free entry for them- Thailand should do the same. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted March 30, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2023 17 minutes ago, Patjqm said: that s happening in Ukraine Yes The Russian forces fighting in the Ukraine in the front are being backstopped by blocking forces to keep their own Russian troops from retreating or giving up. https://www.yahoo.com/news/russian-soldiers-were-sent-battle-104629151.html Russian soldiers made a dramatic video plea, complaining they were sent into combat with other units specifically tasked with preventing them from running away. The footage, addressed directly to Vladimir Putin and circulating on Russian Telegram channels, was posted by members of Russia's so-called Storm unit, who said they had suffered huge casualties. Describing their recent efforts around the village of Vodanye, they said that so-called "blocking" units were sent in behind them to give them no escape from combat. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
