How farang manage to live there in their little jungle clearing surrounded by noisy nosy neighbours is beyond me. Ok for back to nature types I suppose. I dont think many have a choice and just convince themselves they like it there..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would like them until I started meeting them and having multiple and numerous interactions. Of course there are and always must be exceptions however I’ve yet to find them yet Have had Russian friends and many interactions over the last 20 years and most were pleasant. You will get a good following on this forum with your populist post but that only is a reflection that there are numerous fools here on this forum that love to be liked. What type of person are you that can't interact with Russians? A simpleton is my guess. Growup... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like what areas do they like to live The new Russian communities in Phuket Kata beach was popular with Russians for a good while. I met one massage parlor lady who said her boss was Russian.

Despite the western claims of "referendum at gunpoint" most of Crimeans really support joining the Russian Federation.

There actually has been a historically significant brain drain of Russian technical talent related to the war.. Visa policies are a complex country specific thing. They go to many places and don't necessarily need formal residency visas to.work. Dubai is very popular Many work remotely for Russian companies faking their location. Putin.wants them back. In any case you are promoting a vile and false conspiracy theory that western powers want this war.. Edited May 22, 2023 by Jingthing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
