The statement comes after a reported rise in incidents involving rude and aggressive behavior from some Russian patients. This appears to have been an issue since 2014 which means the recent surge in Russian tourism in Thailand is nothing new to perceived rudeness.

Popular Post Ironmike Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 Isn't this Thailand and aren't they a guest here???? Why should the hospital have to pay extra expenses for the Russian trash?? If they get sick let them pay for their own translater,, if they get loud throw them out,, if they cause problems like they are then revoke there visas and throw them out,, stop them from coming here Sri Lanka kicked 300,000 of them out because of the same thing,,it's about time Thailand did the same. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazykopite Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The majority of Russian woman not only beautiful but very sweet ,they know what they want in life and will tell you so ! It’s mainly the men who are very hostile and troublesome and if Thai people think it’s bad now it’s only going to get worse as the mob move in to take control ! 1 1 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). I am from that country and I have lived in different regions - not in Moscow or St. Petersburg - they're different from the rest of the territory. And I can see in the local Telegram channels what the people have become there.

(I am 6ft tall and weight best part of 200 lbs.) The Russians need to understand that Thailand is a culture based on 'kreng jai' (politeness) and cooperation.

rexpotter Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) Russian women sweet? They are worse than the men. Apparently there are a lot of sex starved men here who are attracted to their outward beauty. Trust me, and from experience and if you get involved you will regret it. Imagine the daughter of Satan.

Popular Post LivingNThailand Posted April 22 Popular Post Share Posted April 22 (edited) I have only read 1 page of comments, but if anyone has read the story that was in The Phuket News yesterday, last week a Russian man refused to pay for treatment and then came back 2 days later and wanted more free treatment. His girlfriend brought a baseball bat and threatened the staff. Police were called and the hospital filed a formal complaint asking for justice. The Russian wasn't arrested (why not?) and just paid his bill. Vachira is NOT an international hospital, it is a public government hospital, and everyone has to Wait Their Turn to get treatment. It is a good hospital, but a public hospital. Prices are supposed to be reasonable. I go to the international hospitals for convenience, and I personally think the prices are reasonable compared to any hospital in the United States. No one should expect Free treatment and when asked to pay pull out a baseball bat and threaten the staff. In my humble opinion,.

orchidfan Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 As I have previously mentioned, I often travel to and from Hong Kong where my Thai wife and I have permanent residency (no local language skills etc as required here). I mainly go for a change of scene and weather, but also for the excellent (almost free) medical care. Every appointment slip or registration clearly states that these services are primarily provided for HK residents and that other foreign walk ins may be treated in an emergency, BUT AT THE FULL COST of the procedure plus medicines. This is NOT "robbing" the foreigners, and is clearly stated, so no misunderstandings. Last year I was in the waiting room for a regular check up when a nonresident man (foreigner tourist?) started getting agitated and rowdy about the time it was taking to be seen. The staff tried their best to appease him, but with no success after 10 minutes, 2 armed policemen (not security guards) arrived and hauled him away. They don't mess around there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Not just a perception by Thais. "Tuscany, Italy: 'Rude' Russian tourists offered a lesson in manners," By Nick Squires, June 26, 2014 - The Sidney Morning Herald "As the summer tourist season approaches, Italians have a message for their rich Russian visitors - you may have money, but you have no manners." "Teaching uncouth Russians how to behave in a more civil way should not be construed as Italian arrogance, he said, but a way of gently shepherding tourists towards more culturally acceptable behaviour." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobU Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 1 hour ago, mran66 said: 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 a 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. He's a troll winding you up. It's obvious to anyone with a brain cell that you were not being racist but merely pointing out the rarity of black african people in nordic countries, which is a fact.
