Popular Post Jenkins9039 Posted February 6 Popular Post Share Posted February 6 (edited) Remember when the Russians disappeared in 2014 (like without a whisper). Word on the street is that the Russian Mafia has become engrained from Rawai to Kamala in the local operations, with local Thai's now becoming fearful. How long till we see a widespread crackdown on the Russian's now they've been milked.

Popular Post Banana7 Posted February 6 Popular Post Share Posted February 6 No worries or issues as long as they are paying the right people. The Russians learned from their mistakes on the first round and are back to take a second round. This time they'll do it right. Just pay up - simple. 3 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ChipButty Posted February 6 Popular Post Share Posted February 6 They are here to stay there is some serious money being spent down in Rawai, Take a look around Rawai water park there is a moo baan down there, There is a play area down there a couple of months back I took my grand daughter to have a run around when we arrived it was all quiet not realizing what goes on down there, it's quite a good setup with 2 swimming pools and an indoor activity area, come 12 noon all these kids came from nowhere and all Russians they have a school down there and the café is where the kids have their diner, It's a whole Russian community, they even have a language school maybe thats where they all get their ED visa's from, you should take a look one day, I spoke with a Thai woman yesterday and she said she took her son down there once, enough she said, Once that new project is built on the beach front it will certainly be like little Moscow, 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post A1Str8 Posted February 6 Popular Post Share Posted February 6 They never disappeared. They were instructed to blend in more and use less violence as to be able to operate more quietly since that's the Thai away of doing it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geisha Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I was in Bali last April. It was awful ! A beautiful island with beautiful people once, now ruined. The abuse of land/ buildings etc is horrendous. The one big supermarket overrun with pushy Russian ladies and their Balinese staff. Nearly every Russian family I saw there had a Balinese nanny night and day. In one five star hotel there were numerous long stay families with their Balinese staff. They’re not all draft dodgers, a lot are very rich Russians planning a new future and getaway in countries that still accept them. Same is happening in Thailand. Once your kids are in school you’re Visa happy , no matter what your age, which is why we’re seeing more younger families than before. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall a few years ago seeing a number of Russian girls outside a club on Pattaya's walking street, clearly working there. Someone's getting paid off I guess? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integration is not a common thing these days Just to put your racism to rest regarding grooming gangs a quick cut and paste. Oops I guess you will have to tar all white people with the same brush now. Although there have been several high-profile examples of British-Pakistanis involved in grooming gangs, research published by the Home Office in 2020 showed that offenders are “most commonly white” and come from diverse backgrounds 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the next Ukraine? A probably unintentional development but very much welcomed by Putin. I would expect the same thing to be happening in other neighboring countries.
