Hm,..And how can you see the IQ of somebody just like that !?!?

 

Only a low IQ POS would try what the OP outlined. This is the equivalent of trying to force the square peg into the round hole.

The couple became angry at the cashier counter and tried to blame Santanee for stealing the money. The Russian customers maintained their innocence and dared the restaurant to check the security camera. . .

 

After reviewing the security camera footage, it was clear that the accused couple did not pay for their meal. So, the owner sent the video to the couple and summoned them to pay the bill.

This was normal behaviour in Bali where I just left, due to them.They stole from the small mom and pop grocery shops, and they were well known for running off without paying for their bills at restaurants. In fact they had to start making people pay in advance because of them.

Bali has been ruined by mass tourism and the awful Russians behaving like they’ve taken over. They’ve practically ruined Phuket too. Most are cheap Charly’s , they reserve the front rows of the beach chairs in Phuket , seen it myself, pay in advance of course , not that I’d sit there, all my Thai friends there are disgusted by their behavior. Gone are the old days of the friendly farang buying everyone a beer at sunset.

I wonder if the server can press charges. Defamation, perhaps? Is that a crime in Thailand, or just a tort?

Actually, I'm right. As history has shown, most of our world's troubles are centered around hate. Greed, lies, jealousy, misunderstandings all factor in this hate, and it's taught in childhood, by irresponsible, hateful and or abusive parents who do not know any better. How many Russians do you actually personally know? Maybe three or four? And you call all of them thieves because others have told you they are, by the actions of a few, or because you hate Russians because they have hurt you personally? I think you, and many others here, either do not care or don't understand that you yourself are being judged here, by those who aren't prejudiced, hateful, jealous, or ignorant.

I certainly know: dear friend: I worked in russia city Niznevartosk 1992 to 1997 and later 2008 to 2017: and whatever was not cemented or welded sold was up for grabs.... 70 yrs of communisms was a great thieving schooling period which continuous until this day.....!!

Better get them into BKK Hilton.

So they won't end up as the looters in uniform in the neighboring country after they are back home.

My local breakfast restaurant just had a similar occurrence.  A customer left without paying a 150 baht bill.  Then a few days later the knucklehead tried coming back and ordering food.  The waitress requested the money for the last time he stiffed her and also to prepay for the new order.  He put his tail between his legs and departed.

 

There was no need to make a mountain out of a mole hill.  Police not called. No calls to media, as they would likely laugh at the nonnewsworthiness of the story.  No immigration action or calls for blacklisting.

 

Many decades ago I worked as a waiter and every year there were customers dining and dashing.  They were not welcome back.

The same thing was happening a lot in Jomtien a few years ago, but the sad thing was that the restaurantuers logged us all in with the Russians and places I had gone many times and who Inew me very well suddenly demanded payment before placing my order, I was in one when about 20 people came in ordered and ate the food and then slowly left until only one remained who then denied any knowledge of the others only paying for his own food order.

They were able to leave because it was a very busy restaurant and the toilet was in back and led directly to the car park, freeking cheap Charlie’s screwed it for everyone.

True, but they can speak both, or many can, due to a large Russian speaking population.

Again true but this is because the Ukrainians were forced to learn Russian by the soviets but they kept their own language and culture, Singaporn was wrong to state “same language same culture because it was an independent country before the red revolution and therefore had its own language and culture, it was also the bread basket of the Soviet Union because of the quality of the wheat and other food products it can grow, and now much of the world is / was reliant on that wheat.

As I said before on another post, Russians are becoming a problem and the sooner they are booted out & black listed "No Gratis" the better. Never had so much aggro with 1 country than Thailand does now in my 24 years!!
