But please just stay at Phuket and don't move to other parts of Thailand. Thanks. We see lots of Ruskies in our drives here and there but thankfully we don't have them living, and drinking themselves to stupidity with vodka (a national pastime it seems) in our estate. There are lots buying (so one of the higher end agents in Bang Tao tell us) but not at our end of the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In general:- Russians are rude, ungrateful, and arrogant, and think they deserve better treatment than anyone else. Chinese never seem to be in groups of less than half a dozen, and spend nothing, cause pandemonium at help yourself buffets, leave toilets in a disgusting state and do not seem to understand the concept of queuing. Indians seem to expect "2 for the price of 1"deals on everything, and wear lots of gold in public. Africans are scammers, con artists, drug dealers, and pimps. You see, I believe all the negative posts I read on AseaNow, and also every statistic that TAT comes up with - oh and everything that Mr Prayut and Mr Anutin say! Can I go back to my cell now, please? Edited August 12, 2023 by sambum 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about get some facts right and name it the corrupt democrats and their puppet zelinskiy pushing for war, and how zekenskiy murdered his own countrymen. Brainwashed puppets will believe everything pushed their controlled fake news media. Wake up fools Bingo! Unfortunately, heavy anti-russia propaganda and censorship by NATO countries and their controlled MSM makes it very difficult for many people to see full and honest reporting on the conflict.

geisha Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Don’t forget that Russians who have stayed in Phuket/ Pattaya for a longer time will teach the newcomers how to cope. They stick together, buy condos and have relatives / friends etc staying and paying. Lots of Russians have kids , then they can get visas having kids scolarised in Thai schools. I have two friends who have their kids in Phuket private schools for a few years now, so they have visas with no problems. Pattaya also have loads in Jomtien, especially in that huge condo with a big pool on the seafront. They have a few businesses there too. I often take a short cut through there from second rd . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a Russian family regularly in the Spa I go to. 3 daughters at international school is 1.5 million THB a year. So don't get the idea they are all bums on the run. These people are well to do ex pats. From St Petersburg if that means anything to you. The whole family speaks good English. The parents are patently well educated, professional people. Russians have been coming here for many years to escape their bitterly cold winters. It's a lot closer to home for them than it is for Europeans. So really it's a much more natural second home for them. The manageress of the spa is a young multi lingual Russian woman. Speaks Thai fluently, Chinese and Japanese. She's a lot of fun. Has a Thai boyfriend. That's all I have to say. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the article properly, you will see he's still working for the Russian IT company. He's become a digital nomad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
