Trip Hop Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 4 hours ago, Dan O said: issue staff and security guards with tasers. That tends to slow down the aggression when it gets above normal acceptable levels I think the one time that I made the mistake of going to the Bangkok Samui several years ago, the security guard had a gun? Followed me everywhere until the insurance confirmed that they would cover the cost. For that reason alone I went elsewhere for the follow up rabies shots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One loaded precedent... How many languages, how many procedures? Oh yes, the procedure about giving your name at the reception, getting a cue number, and waiting for your turn. All these confusing steps that people of different culture and language seem to understand by intuition.... send them home to Putti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mran66 Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 24 minutes ago, Jonathan Swift said: As a Norwegian with brown skin and thick curly black hair I resent that. Funny how you happened to choose to describe Black people as your example. A Freudian slip? You could have chosen any kind of example. So you don't like Russians, and you don't like Black people. Another run of the mill racist who just can't avoid wearing it on your sleeve, can you? I am absolutely not racist and have nothing against Black people (nor any other skin colours), Norwegians nor birds for that matter, whether able to fly or not. However due to personal experiences unfortunately I can not say the same about Russians, and my grandpa can say even less so. My point was about statistics of well behaving Russians, and as I have quite a few Norwegian neighbors and was just talking with one of them (white hair white skin guy), just took them as example thinking what they as people are and what they are not statistically. I apologize if you understood my point as insulting for Black, that was absolutely not the intention. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soalbundy Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I watched a program about an A&E department in an English hospital recently. The doctors and nurses were extremely kind as were most of the patients but about 10% were rude trouble makers and violent. The hospital had to employ security staff to protect the doctors and nurses. I expect this is typical throughout the world, I find it hard to believe that the average Russian is worse than anybody else although the unaccustomed hot weather, alcohol and a language problem while on holiday could exaggerate their normal behaviour. I haven't met many Russians but those I have met (small families) spoke bad English and almost seemed to expect rejection from a westerner, once that was overcome they seemed reasonable friendly people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All uneducated? I suppose many Russians here got a diploma from University, which I can't day probably about most of Expats here.

Wrwest Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Tongue in cheek ... does that translate into Thai? "Mr. Putin, Russian speakers in Phuket need your protection. The Chinese are working with Thai police to "help" tourists. You need to send such folks to help Russian speakers". Could just cut through the time evolvement and just annex Phuket ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Aleksey75 Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 Unfortunately, the majority of my counterparts are raised to be "chosen and unique", and "that everybody owes them in the world" - that's what Putin's propaganda does there. Moreover, they all still think that Asian countries are developing ones - the 3rd world - so, they (the Russians) know everything better. And nobody dares to learn any English... In my opinion, the more restrictions on those, the better... 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had interesting conversations and I can't agree with your observations in general. I'd say bad behaviour you can find with Ukrainians, Russians, Palestinians, Israelis and all the other citizens from the remaining 192 countries (appr).

John Drake Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 6 hours ago, webfact said: Cultural sensitivity training for staff: Equipping staff with basic knowledge about Russian cultural norms and communication styles could help them better understand patient behavior and de-escalate potentially tense situations. Patient liaisons or interpreters: Having staff members who speak Russian or can act as liaisons can facilitate communication and ensure clear understanding of instructions and expectations.

Popular Post Almer Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 Do not bother asking a Russian for respect, they are arrogant and only live by mafia standards, they expect to take over where ever they pitch there tent, if the authorities let them take hold it will be gang warfare as they expect to take hold, they will thrive in Los because they know there is no legal system and the money talks culture will see uit them, i wonder what there brothers think if them on the front line, to set out my stall the Ukrainians are no different with regard to arrogance, a worning to plod, let them take hold and you will be in there pockets. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazykopite Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The government have to accept some of the blame by handing out free visa’s to all these Russians who arrived in there 1,000s in an attempt to escape conscription in Putins war against Ukraine .

alien365 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Are the Russians really that bad here or are people just venting?
