Mr. Dmytro Piaterikov, an 18-year-old Ukrainian, found with a red Yamaha Xmax motorcycle (license plate 1K 4676 Lopburi). He was also charged with “working in Thailand without a work permit.”

 

OMG, those bad Russians and Ukrainians once again hitting the news headlines in Thailand?

If you want to spot foreigners working illegally, just walk into a gym and check out the personal trainers... You're welcome.

 

OMG, how much do they usually charge their clients?

I live in a fairly large condo complex in Pattaya where there are a good number of Russian tenants. It had been obvious for some time that they are operating a number of operations like this. Car rental (usually of vehicles they themselves have rented) Airport Taxi services (with rented vehicles), Maid services. We have even had children offering daily trash removal services. Some are advertised on notice boards and I had assumed that the rest are via Line and WhatsApp groups.

Just give them a 90-day visa and Wai.  You let them in, so deal with it.

 

 

Ed visa... gotta fund the stay somehow.

I rented a scooter for 2,000bt a month ( gas was all I paid for - maintenance & insurance included ) who would pay 10,000bt a month? Even in tourist areas, renting is not THAT expensive.

 

They might rent out cars, but high-end scooters like the XMAX are quite expensive in tourist hotspots like Phuket and Samui. During the high season, it’s common to see them rented out for well over 10,000 baht per month; finding one for 10,000 would be considered a lucky deal.

My first thought … international cooperation by individuals from warring nations. Curious if family relationship there somehow.
