Popular Post spidermike007 Posted March 30 Popular Post Share Posted March 30 I visited Phuket several months ago after not having been there in about 10 years, and I was astonished at how low the quality of the tourists and expats were. A lot of Russians, a lot of Arabs, a lot of Indians, very, very few Europeans or Westerners. Any place that has about 40% or 50% Russian tourists is going to be a place that is difficult to have a good time. These are not nice people, these are not polite people, these are rough people with a Cossack background, who come from a very uncivilized nation. As far as this guy goes anytime at anyone attacks a policeman he should be locked up. Perhaps there should be a mandatory prison sentence for this kind of ridiculous behavior. 17 1 11 4 3 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wensiensheng Posted March 30 Popular Post Share Posted March 30 The usual punishment for those of Russian nationality appears to be a 500 baht fine, eg the period raged Russian lady who kicked a 7-11 employee. Contrasted with the Swiss idiot who was held up to national humiliation and deported (I believe) for kicking someone. Likely the two Russians referenced in the article will apologize and get a small fine. But I doubt we will ever hear about it 2 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RayOday Posted March 30 Popular Post Share Posted March 30 How stupid do you have to be to evade being drafted and then getting expelled from your safe refuge? I guess the Russians (Turgenev} really did conceive the notion of nihilism. In the land of karma the wheel spins for this raschist. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly the number of west European tourists is very low. Apart from what I see with my own eyes when around and about, I recently flew from London with Ettihad. The London - Abu Dhabi leg was ram packed. The Abu Dhabi - Phuket leg was 10% full, if that. So wherever those people on the Londo flight were going, it certainly wasn’t Phuket. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This kind of thing seems to be getting worse in Thailand. But it is very difficult to convince our readers that Russian society has been conditioned by barbarism for more than a century of repression. The Russians have produced terrific writers - fairly widely read - but the average Russian today prefers knee-jerk chauvinism and reliance on their own tightly controlled media. I feel sure Thailand can expect more of this kind of trouble, especially where Thai cops have little knowledge of Russian history. 4 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post eumenades Posted March 30 Popular Post Share Posted March 30 Unfortunately, Russians share many facial characteristics with other western visitors. This must be a source of constant confusion with most European visitors to Thailand. Culturally, Russians are miles apart from most European visitors and have a chronic history of repression and a violence which reverberates amongst their lesser educated arrivals. I feel sorry for Thai cops who have to work amidst such contrastive cultural backgrounds - we all look so similar, but that is not the case. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vibora99 Posted March 30 Popular Post Share Posted March 30 It bothers me that you generalize about foreigners (that was the typical Russian - either they are deserters or drunks who come to Thailand). I would ask you to talk about RUSSIANS or INDIAN victims (they are always robbed) Thank you for not generalizing 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
