Most of them don't even have any money and I mean literally. Can't tell you how many cheap charlie Russians I've met over the years, particularly in Laos. One guy I picked up on my drive from Pakse to Bangkok at the border (I was being nice) argued with a Lao border official over a 40 Baht overtime fee. I probably shouldn't have been so kind as to give him a ride, when I saw him at the border, but I was heading in that direction anyway. At a gas (petrol) station rest stop somewhere around Sri Saket, he was very reluctant to fork out a mere 49 Baht for a plate of fried rice. I personally almost never spend that little on anything; 49 Baht is an absolute bargain for lunch, I consider a cheap meal to be around 200 Baht per person including a soft drink or water. However, in that part of Isarn, there's really nothing; if you stick to the main highway between Chong Mek and Si Khiu in Nakhon Ratchasima (highway 24), you have a handful of PTT stations, most of which only have Cafe Amazons, some basic no name Thai food and not even a Black Canyon. Yes, there are a couple of Lotus's with MK restaurants in places like Nang Rong, Buri Ram, but when I'm on long road trips, I generally don't like to waste time by stopping off at shopping centers as that consumes too much time. 

 

At the Chokchai steakhouse where I stopped for a steak dinner, he said it was "far too expensive" for him, preferring to smoke a few cigarettes while waiting outside for me to finish my meal. He never offered a tip or anything. A bus ticket between either Pakse or Chong Mek and Bangkok, would have cost somewhere around 1000-1200 Baht. He spent 49 Baht on fried rice, I think he got the deal of a lifetime. 

 

On another occasion prior to that near Tha Khaek, a Russian couple were hitchhiking and I picked them up. We saw a few caves together and then I dropped them back off along the highway, after which I continued towards Savannakhet, my destination for the day. Again, they didn't spend even a nickel, though they were very thankful for me taking them around. I understand they tried hitchhiking their way towards Vientiane that evening. 

So if as you say the Russians are so skint, then why the hell does Thailand want them here so bad?

 

It's not for their charming personalities, surely?

You of course would have sorted it out in 30 seconds on your own.

 

It is amazing how smart and clever people can be behind the anonymity of their pc, instead of being in the thick of the action.

Pot calling the kettle black, with your dumb-ass comment.

 

Maybe I should have known in advance, boarded a plane, and been there to take care of it myself

 

Tell me, is what I said not correct?

If they're not on their phones they're running scared like sissies. What a joke.

Just to get your outrage machine going, any cop that capped that loon in the US would be cleared.

 

For those interested in tactics, you see why Police in the USA have gone to .40s and .357 Sigs over 9mm, why you shoot Center of Mass, and why you keep pulling the trigger until he is stopped.

Careful Yagoda, you may hurt BillyD's feelings.

 

Seems he has a soft spot for the BiB.

Belarus?

Is that in another report?

[Dont confuse me]

Yes the Russian was a lump but a truncheon over the head and a swift kick in the gonads would have ended it.

 

It will be a holiday to remember for the family I hope someone presents them with an album of this idiots behaviour.

Phuket is such a lovely place. I have plans to go back and visit. NEVER!

The writer states “such events while rare”…Has this writer been living in a hole which can be easily found in Thailand? These events are commonplace here.

It was mentioned in the first page in this topic.

However many still going with “Putin”, “frontline”, etc.

Maybe after reading word “Russian” in the title some fog covers their eyes.

I also felt that way, too.

That idiot got a similarity with Poo-tin.

Finally came to the island of this kingdom to claim its ownership during holiday trip.

Yelling, "Anywhere inhabited by own people will be deemed our extended territory. And it is subject to annexation.

But  our Spetsnaz were all wasted in Ukraine. So head of the state came to  do it instead..."

[Skeptic7]

"Frussians"❗

"Effin-Russians"...To all with those confused emojis last time...Get it now❗❓🤣

in Gaza they would probably celebrate this case, but in Phuket otherwise. 

I just thought about Kolkata. Hm ....... 🙃

If this nutter is “muscular “ then I’m Mr Universe.

 

What do you think muscular means?  You can tell he works out.  He certainly has visible muscle mass.  He looks more muscular than someone who doesn't work out.

Looks like he is already dressed for jail.
