Thai government has no balls.

Allowing ruSSian scum to land and live in Thailand.

ruSSian woman killed two people in Phuket and free as a bird.

Now abducting people for ransom... maybe they think they are in Ukraine and behave like drunk solders. Send them to ruSSian army and off to Ukraine.. in one month the problem will be solved..

Send an urgent anonymous email to the Russian embassy in Moscow,  address it to Vladimi Putin and tell him there are 1000's of draft dodgers in Phuket & Bangkok.  

 

After he reads that he'll have every single Rusky, man, woman, everyone rounded up and sent back in a heartbeat  !

Russians free 90 day stamps on entry where the rest of  Western world countries have to show their money in the bank, health insurance etc, etc.  Flood gates opened Oct. 2021 - short term thoughts of money, now long term effects of a desperate people......maybe Authorities should re-think and get things right again.......   

I'm afraid, the Laughing Cow will never get serious on any serious matters.

Little Moscow  formally known as Phuket  😂 why would you go it's ruined now by them its going to be like  Shinoukville  in Cambodia 🇰🇭 pretty soon 

But one thing you dont do in Phuket or Pattaya is Brag about what you  have, dress poor, act poor and all your wealth is hiding in the Hills not in Patong  if you brag or show off your a target especially now with the Ruskies in town   before a bar girl would fleece you but not now? It's sad really how it can  be ruined so quickly... BKK for me you dont see them that often the fat red, rude, arrogant, criminal pricks.

"US$900,000 or around 30,000 baht."

 

See it was immediately rectified but really, it shouldn't have been there in the first place! Should've gone to Specsavers. or get a new calculator!

Bad guys out , good guys in ... what a joke !

Quite agree - you want try getting a visa extension based on marriage in my Imm Office! 

Before the problems start with the "interview", you have to get photocopies of everything required - TWICE. In my case, almost 150 photocopies were required!
