Personally can,t stand them either but I have a list of the most disliked countries I have encountered. Russians #1 Another country with the letter G a very close second.

Joebuzzz Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I gotta say, I know his anger. After carefully instructing a barber in Jomtien that he was to cut my hair all the same length, about 1" to 1 1/2". ALL THE SAME, MY WHOLE HEAD. I specifically said "No Tapers" "No cutting short" AND "Do you understand?". First move? Lifts all my hair above my left ear and literally cuts the whole side to 1/4". I got pissed off immediately. Obviously, won't ever go to that shop again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not about mistakes in cutting hair, but about the rude, impossible behavior of a brutalized gang of Russians who are gradually occupying LOS. no "gang" involved here I think? I think the thread was going just fine. Maybe you can start your own thread about the gangs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are really truly pathetically unfriendly people. Yikes, no thanks, if I never meet another Russian for the rest of my life I'll be happy. Are you American by any chnace? could explain why.. lol 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Phuket , the Russians have been doing this “ sub letting” for quite a while now. It’s become unbearable, wherever you go, rude, hostile people in the shops and restaurants . They also have many “ jobs” apart from the villas/ condos, driving their kind back and fore the airport, shops etc. Travel agencies, massage and probably a hefty online business going not to mention bitcoin where one such Russian was running things in Kata. It is the downfall of Phuket and tourists won’t forget their last holidays there., 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just couldn't help but imagine this overzealous American in the elevator, attempting to break the icy silence with a stone-faced Russian family. – the clash of cultures in a confined space! No offense to Americans BTW, just couldn't resist the mental chuckle it gave me 😂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my early days in LOS whilst still searching for one that did exactly what I said (same as my pic) I decided to only pay half of what he asked for. He threatened me with calling the police. I told him to call them and I'll show them the pic and then the butchery he'd performed. Typical response here of "sorry, sorry"! I eventually found a female who does it perfectly and the bonus is, she has a derriere you can't take your eyes off! I bet the mirrors come in handy then?
