[Olmate]

Long or short? 

[ezzra]

Only stupid people will engage in prohibited works, probably they were told not to worry because they have got the authorities issue covered but it seems that they were wrong.

[sammieuk1]

Funds have run out and now need to find an income...

Thailand will be seeing a lot of these people.

Good work TAT for welcoming them in with open arms.

All of them are on long stay ED visas, though never attending the school lessons.

A huge source of income for corrupt immigration officers and visa agents.

It's high time to stop this illegal business.

Illegal manicure and pedicure business was flourishing in Phuket and Pattaya long before Putin's war.

Chern Talay / Laguna is full of Russian residents, working or not. As Thai staff hardly speaks any Russian and Russians hardly speak any Thai... 1 + 1 makes 2.

Now they can build a bridge, at home. Natasha not smart...

They could have easily found a holiday bf…or would that be considered taking jobs from Thais as well?

[ChipButty]

What Else Do You Think they Might of Been ??

[Captain Monday]

I do not believe in borders and think people should be able to live where they want as long as they follow the rules and do not become a public burden. Here the rules are clear.

 

Jail, deportation, and banishment in order here no sympathy at all. I have had my fill of the antics of foreign scofflaws dragging us all down

Whatever country Thai immigration allows them to fly to after they are prosecuted and get the funds required to exit immigration detention. I didn't say borders don't exist. 

 

As long as they do I just think there should be no limitation to human migration and settlement as long as people follow the rules and laws and do not become a public burden.

[cowellandrew]

Nice legs! Oh well off to Vladivostok you go!????????????

[swerve]

Crime of the century, but everyone should know the rules by now.  Probably arises from boredom.

Foreign customers ,or the could be thieving ,given local girls more competition

in the sex trade , go after the low hanging fruit .

 

regards worgeordie

[StayinThailand2much]

I'm sure they could communicate more with their customers than just: "Hello you...", and "How much you give me?"

 

I bet Thais could do this kind of work at a lower price, provided that there are enough these days willing to do it at all.
