I don't have any experience with them here, hence the question, but I lived with some Russians in the UK and they were nice straight talking people. No they are not, I have met many Russians over the years here in Phuket ok some are not but that applies to other nationalities, I had to tell a Russian couple last week, "You Smile" "They Smile" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post IndomitableSpirit Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 Respectful and Russians don't go hand in hand. You see the British, they become rowdy/rude when drunk, but the Russians they don't need alcohol for that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post shackleton Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 As has been mentioned many times the Thai government welcomed the Russian Tourists/ guests with open arms thinking of money first 💸 💰 Giving them 90 day visa's ect Opening up businesses buying property and so Thinking of the short term 🤑 Now people complaining about their Russian guests You reap what you sow 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right, I know a Thai girl who is a pharmacist and speaks fluent Russian, a lot of Russians go to her because of that, I doubt anyone in that hospital can speak Russian, I can tell you I have been in there a few times and English is not that good, infact once a nurse asking me questions in English was so bad I told her to speak Thai, your English is crap, and she was an arrogant piece of <deleted>, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terryofcrete Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 3 hours ago, spidermike007 said: Asking a Russian to be respectful and to not be rude is like asking an indigenous Alaskan to not eat fish. It's a bit like asking a Frenchman to demonstrate affection toward an American, or asking a Thai government official to show warmth and hospitality toward an expat living here. I visited my son in Moscow when he worked there, before I Went over he warned me not to be my usual self. Don't laugh and joke with the immigration , don't hold the door open for anybody, being nice is a sign of weakness ...lol.. I also learned the spasiba/pajalsta/privyet... or whatever . He was there for 4 years , I only went twice ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there is an area of science that believes that very long-term behavioral patterns become part of one's genetics. We're talking about centuries and centuries of misbehavior murder, and pillaging, from the Cossack raiders, all the way through to Lenin, Stalin and Putin. All maniacs. So perhaps it is a combination of both. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This to me was no problem, then a Russian female jumped the line right to the front, I politely said in a loud voice there is a line of people go to the back. I stay, I stay I not move, my only response was in a loud voice you have no respect just like the rest of your people.

Popular Post Expat Tom Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 I hate to say this but, "I told you so". One of the biggest reasons the Russians are in Thailand is the simple fact that other countries don't want them. The Big Bangkok Money only saw money signs when the opened the door for some of the crudest people on the planet. They (The Big Bangkok Money) didn't consider anything else. They will have no negative impact from any misdeeds of their Russian guests since they all live in gated communities. However, ordinary Thai citizens are impacted by Russian crimes and and rudeness. 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the queue at Sav consulate, they were lugging on ciggies, no thought for anyone, stinking the place out. There was a funny ending though, a bunch of 4 left one to keep their place whilst they went to down a few beers, 11am was looming, gateman had his keys ready to lock up. The one bloke was pleading not to lock the gate, still no sign of the p_ss heads. The key bloke said..."Come back tomorrow".....Clunk-click... 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect, once they find out they are being shafted on the medical bills. all backed by the racist dinosaurs in charge of the government, or legal gouging may be the saying, they demand a higher level of service.

connda Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 10 hours ago, webfact said: PHUKET - Vachira Phuket Hospital issued a public statement on Friday, urging all patients, particularly those from Russia, to exhibit respectful behavior towards medical staff. The statement comes after a reported rise in incidents involving rude and aggressive behavior from some Russian patients. Nice to see the Russians giving rude and aggressive Westerners a good name.
