Nonsense. Most of the Russians are here as couples or with families. They spend more in a week than you do in 3 months. Plus they're big buyers of condo, meaning they'll spend more in one day than you do in 20 years. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarraMarra Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 3 hours ago, Mr Meeseeks said: I spoke with some Thais on the Darkside in Pattaya yesterday evening about the influx of Russians. Some interesting takeaways: 1. Entire families are coming on tourist visas here to stay permanently 2. They work illegally and don't care as they need money to achieve No.1 3. Russians will likely use other Russian owned businesses thus no benefit to local community 4. They are on the run from the war This is not my opinion, this was being discussed by Thais. If you told a gullible Thai there will be a Total Eclipse tomorrow at about 10 O'clock they would believe it as they got told. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving visa free entry to the UK will result in a great many Thais staying and working illegally. Look at Singapore and South Korea as the examples. There's a reason it is difficult for them to get visas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well everyone else from around the world is at it so who really cares? They reckon they need more people. Also it's not my problem, they have border force who can sort out the miscreants.

SingAPorn Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 What about the europeans ? Most western european countries all have compulsory health insurance by law covering also abroad for all their citizens. Their retirees have good pensions and spending power also and most own homes in Thailand. Why do they not get at least 6 months visa free stay ? Totally absurd immigration bureaucracy in Thailand that is loosing good money for the country and giving visa free stay to the wrong people. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Zealand gave visa free travel to Thailand many years ago, and was packed full of Thai's who would not go back. For example, if the USA gave free visa travel to Thailand, you would see an exodus in Thailand on mass . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
