BANGKOK (NNT) - Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) Somboon Homnan extended a warm welcome to Mr. Sergey Cheremin, Minister of the Government of Moscow and Head of the Department for External Economic and International Relations of Moscow, along with his delegation. The visit aims to strengthen relationships and enhance cooperation between Moscow and Bangkok.

 

This initiative builds upon the establishment of relations between Bangkok and Moscow on June 19, 1997. The goal is to exchange information, and experiences, and develop cooperation in various fields such as education, science, culture, environmental protection, tourism, and sports for mutual benefit.

 

Furthermore, both cities signed a memorandum of understanding for cooperation that will last until 2025, focusing on trade and economic cooperation, smart city, innovation, transportation, sustainable development education, sports, culture, and tourism. This collaboration also includes high-level official visits between the two cities to enhance mutual understanding and cooperation.

The Thai government does seem to like and appreciate despot nations, perhaps it's the army influence, but they don't seem to be particularly talented at picking good allies.

I don't think they worry about which country they are from Mike, as long as the dollars or roubles come in big numbers... All is forgiven.

Officials I think the whole population down there 

and that's why the Russians think they can do no wrong, whatever happen there will be no charges, all swept under the rug

 

Rabid Russian assaults police team in Phuket after going berserk at a city centre hotel

 

A Russian tourist is facing criminal charges ... ROFL

Since they are so high on autocratic rulers and craving for any extra baht they can get, one would think that they should look at their border states that went even more strongly towards those autocrats.  Now those countries are shackled to the autocratic countries.  Pretty soon, Thailand willl come even closer to China with that hi-speed railline going in.  Northern  Laos is openly Chinese controlled, the Mekong levels are controlled by the Chinese, Cambodia and Myanmar are both openly in Chinese pockets.  But if they can get another baht, they'll let them pour in my opinion.

Culture??

Since when have Soviets understood culture? 

Anything they've got their hands on since 1917 they've usually decimated or destroyed. 

Thailand really is stooping so low these days  that they'll be schmoozing up to the Afghan government's education, tourism and women's rights ministeries next!!

Come on Felix,  don't knock Monty.... they were/are all very educated individuals. Well maybe not the token American! (Terry Gilliam) 

 

Just joking. You can never have too much of the Flying Circus.  Or any of their movies. 

 

Holy Grail, Life of Brian, Meaning of life, Live at the Hollywood bowl etc

 

Quite a cult following esp. for Life of Brian.  He's a very naughty boy!

To be total honest, I've not watched one episode of LOTR.  Even tho it's a kiwi icon in NZ. 

 

I think I've taken this away from the OP enough for now. 

 

On the Russian front of things, I did meet some great pilots and load masters when working in the Middle East (Afghanistan and Iraq).  There was a bit of a language barrier but we understood enough to get by. 

 

One guy even gave me a damn nice bottle of Russian Vodka as I hopped off his IL76 aircraft in Kandahar.  So there are some good ones about. 

The Thais call themselves a "neutral" nation when appeasing war criminals. So how about a photo of Khun Somboon shaking hands with the head of Kyiv City to prove it?

Tell me again who allowed Poll Pott to stay in Northern Thailand till his Death? You know the guy who murdered men women and children in their millions in Cambodia?

Some indication of whom you are referring to is in order.

 

This news is going to get some posters on here riled up. Imagine the Thais being pals with the Orcs, LOL.

News for the offended, Thailand doesn't give a monkey's for farangs opinions and Russia is no enemy of Thailand.

I don't know where you are from, but assuming it's a western country it's likely from a no culture but greed one.

If you want to add up all the destruction they've done since 1917 and all the destruction that the US has done around the world since then, it'd be hard to pick a winner.

Since the Vietnam war the Thais don't take sides. I wish the US was like that as we'd have been involved in a lot less destruction around the world.
