If I'm wrong, if you are aware of some wonderful things that the Russian nation is doing for the planet, please let me know. I would love to hear about that. There are a multitude of reasons why very few around the world have sympathy for the Russians. Those reasons are not limited to their serial killing, despot, thieving multi billionaire dictator for life. It is more about their nature, their history as ruthless, homicidal Cossack warriors, and their total lack of manners, and class. Not to mention the dignity, class, decency, civility, and social skills decades of Leninism, Stalinism, and now Putinism has stripped them of. Some observations on why Russians seem to be so grumpy, annoying and unhappy: In one series of studies with Helena Slobodskaya, a psychologist at Novosibirsk State University Research Institute of Physiology and Basic Medicine, we found that mothers in Russia, compared to American caregivers, reported that their infants and toddlers were more likely to demonstrate negative emotions, such as anger or frustration. The Russian mothers also reported that their young children exhibited lower levels of positive emotional expression, including smiling and laughter. https://theconversation.com/why-are-russians-so-stingy-with-their-smiles-98799 Thailand has invited them in freely and without limitations, and they are now paying the price for this kind of foolish rush for quantity over quality. Bolshevism and the 3/4 century of communism that followed destroyed the morale of Russia. It would perhaps not be a dream nation today but it could have evolved into something better than the modern day dictatorship under Putin who is a great admirer and a result of Stalinism, CCCP and KGB. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What?!! Why? "Did you hear about that foreigner being arrested for domestic violence and having a load of illegal guns? I reckon all foreigners beat their wives and have a cache of illegal weapons!" This is crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwilco Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 8 hours ago, webfact said: Picture courtesy of Phuket Express This past Tuesday, a 38-year-old Russian businessman was taken into custody on Koh Samui. Identified only as Mr. Nikhita, he was arrested by the Bophut Police. He is facing severe charges of assault and illegal weapons possession. The raid on his property was prompted by a tip-off from a local. The arrest warrant was initiated due to a complaint lodged by Mr. Nikhita's girlfriend, whose identity has been kept confidential. She alleges that he sexually assaulted her and threatened her using a firearm. While executing their search, the police team unveiled many unlicensed weapons including a commando rifle complete with ammunition and a handgun at the property in the Maret sub-district. Also seized were a luxury BMW sedan, a Ducati motorcycle, and a pickup truck lacking a license plate. Mr. Nikhita, owner of an Italian restaurant nearby the Baan Bang Rak Pier, confessed to owning the firearms, claiming he has a private liking for guns. However, he refused to address his partner's allegations. This incident has triggered concerns about domestic abuse and illegal firearms possession among foreigners living in Thai popular tourist areas. As investigations proceed, Mr. Nikhita will remain in custody at the Bophut Police Station, facing several charges and potential deportation. -- ASEAN NOW 2024-04-25 Get our Daily Newsletter - Click HERE to subscribe "private liking for guns" I think the authorities on SAmui have grossly underestimated the amount of foreigners on Samui who have firearms. In particular they should be looking at ex-military retirees, who settle on military pensions and don't drop their fascination for firearms - many look on it a a "right" I would start by checking gyms for people working without proper documentation. THey just think they can live outside the law. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malibukid Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 1 hour ago, Hakuna Matata said: Absolutely! They don't deserve visa free entry to Thailand. I am myself a Russian national. I have obtained a proper Non O-A Retirement Visa at the Thailand Consulate in Moscow, Russia. Only high quality Russian citizens should be allowed to enter Thailand. Unfortunately, 90% of Russians who have come to Thailand are low quality people. This is the fact I am observing over the past 15 years of my retirement stay in Thailand. require police background checks on all visa applicants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thumbs Posted April 25 Popular Post Share Posted April 25 Trace the serial number of the weapons suspect the original purchaser was either police/army/government employee, nice little business buy the gun and get the great government discount then after 6 months sell it on for a profit and buy another. Its unlicensed so trace it back and arrest all those involved not just the foreigner dumb enough to buy it illegally 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabradelmar Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Deportable offenses for sure... or will they just lock him up for a few years (months). The punishment never seems to fit the crime in Thailand. People get off too easy with simple apologies and a wai. I would be surprised if this Russian's restaurant ownership arrangement and visa are not also sketchy.
