Last month I went to see a friend who live in a condo here in Phuket and there was this couple with a load of luggage they looked Russian being the gentleman I am I was holding the doors open for them, with the little bit of Russian I can speak they tell me they are Ukrainians, I think they picked the wrong condo project to stay in it's full of Russians, ok no problem for me, so we get to the lift I let them in first then a Russian guy also walks into the lift they must have known he was Russian as they stood with their backs to him and the Russian was glaring at them, Im stood in the middle of them, Im to old for this <deleted> the lift stopped on the second floor I got out better I wait for the next one, 

I don't see any hostility between Russians and Ukrainians. They speak the same language and seem to get along. Most of the Russians here don't like Putin.

Fun Fact: Every country on earth that has potable tap water is considered an enemy by Russia.

Totally agree..

There are the most rude, loud, ill-mannered. disrespectful, large, hairy bodied, ball-bearing pieces of trash (and only talking about the ladies so far) 

I know 2 Thai chefs who used to have a bit of a dribble in the Chinese people's orders.. now they dribble/spit in the Russian orders...

Russians:- are you taking note?  Clean up your act.. you do not own Thailand.. respect it, and act like the visitor you are...  or be faced with deportation, so you can murder,rape,pillage the poor Ukrainians. Most the world is hoping for 1 stray missile into a Nato country.. that would be lovely to see... (kids will be asking in 10 years time...  "what was Russia?")

Finally:- back to the Russian front for this 1d1ot@

I disagree  we met some nice Russian families in our hotel in Hua Hin 

Over Christmas a few years back

Don't tar the whole Russian people over a few idiots ???? 

Every country has them once filled by alcohol ???? ???? 

 

 

Surprised I haven't seen anyone saying it's the deadly, nasty, super aggressive, bat sh7t crazy ganja he probably smoked.

Plenty here in Phuket

We need to find the Soviet blueprints for how to build a gulag so Thailand can start construction immediately.

Lock him up or send him home to Russia. 

I have friends who know younger Russians. And they say they are kind, friendly and progressive. I have no idea what percentage of the population these younger people represent, nor how representative they are of the Russian population.

 

Personally, I have met very few friendly Russians, anywhere in the world. 

I can only speak from my experience. Having run into alot of Russians both in the US, and on Phuket and Samui, 98% of them seem to be grumpy, unfriendly and gruff. Some of them are downright hostile. Likely a reflection of a very, very rough culture and environment.

 

So, perhaps it is not a coincidence that the world is not standing up to support them and show them kindness? Just an observation. 
 

My same impression exactly - I held a door open for a Russian family a couple of years ago as they were "laden down" and got a scowl in return for my smile! I said "You're welcome" to their backs, and got another scowl back! They seem to think that somehow they are entitled to subservient behaviour! Since then, no more Mr Nice Guy with Russkies!

I do not think it is a sense of entitlement. I think it is a reflection of the current culture. It was destroyed over a century of callous and murderous leadership. Stalin, Lenin, Khruschev, now Putin. They have become somewhat savage and crude. No grace, no finesse, no courtesy. Rather uncivilized. 

I have played tennis with many Russians, all nice guys.

I did the border run to Cambodia, only farang in the van. All young Russians, once again all nice people. 
I think you should all be careful in demonizing all Russians because of one sorry drunken bum. Give him the benefit of doubt as he may well be avoiding Putin’s war and just drank to much. Who amongst us here wants to go off to war fighting people very similar to Russians?

Older Russians grew up in a dark country with very few freedoms and the KGB. They learned not to trust anybody or end up in prison. Understandably they don’t look very happy when away from the nightmare of Putin world.

Lets cut them some slack people.

I don’t see anybody on here when there are other drunk and abusive farang directing them off to a war, any war.

And before the abuse gets aimed at me, look in the mirror first.

I see he is wearing sandals with socks ?

I would tazer him just for that reason!

I think the least Russians could do is to behave. They should be grateful Thailand is welcoming to them. British are rowdy only when they are drunk, Russians are built differently regardless of state. I have come across a handful of good ones, but that's because they just want to sleep with me. ????????‍♀️????????

Were they a handful?

Sounds like they may have beat the crap out of him.  Street justice is a B.

They do seem to expect better treatment than anyone else - the "Do you know who/what I am?" attitude! 

However, it does seem to have mellowed a bit since their leadership has dragged them into a war not of their choosing, and they are here to a certain extent "under sufferance" trying to escape it. They certainly seem to be a bit quieter than they used to be - or maybe my sense of hearing is getting worse!

Just another of the quality tourists that Thailand attracts. We see similar reports several times a week.

Congratulations on the Quality Tourist line, thought it would have been missed for a change.

Dated a Russian woman for 3 years. Drunk Russian is an oxymoron

I have met many Russians over the years and if you take notice in the differences, the younger ones now from Moscow are ok speak good English, it's the older one who remember the old USSR they are difficult to deal with, if you lived in minus 30 degrees you would be miserable

It's not the flying, it's the last six inches and the sudden stop that's the killer!

I love these Russian Berzerkers! I still remember the muzhik who destroyed a 7-11 on walking street in Pattaya a few months ago. He started off by headbutting his motorcycle driver!
