Drunken Russia tourists learn Bangkok lesson in manners

BANGKOK: -- A tale has emerged from Suvarnabhumi Airport of how police had to be called to control two very drunk and over-boisterous Russian passengers last week, after the duo held up the departure of their charter flight.

Tourists Alexander Aznabayev and Renat Nureyev were due to fly on September 11 from Bangkok to Ufa in Siberia by NordWind, which is affiliated with tour operator Pegas Touristik.

But, a source who asked not to be named told The Phuket News, they were aggressive and foul-mouthed and refused to stop smoking on the tarmac in front of the aircraft.

According to an official report, one of the Russians decided to show his opinion of the airline by attempting to urinate on the aircraft.

Unfortunately, he forgot to unbutton his shorts first.

The airliner “was not damaged” by this stunt, the report said straight-faced, though the same could not be said about the Russian’s shorts.

With the duo continuing to refuse to behave, airport staff and flight crew eventually had no choice but to call the police who, without a great deal of difficulty, carted them off to a place where they could rest for a while and reconsider their behaviour – while their flight left without them.

They were on the tarmac in front of the plane?

Smoking? On 9/11? Incredible . . . . .

OH heck ... just some boyish fun.

Sort of getting ready to do the same in Pattaya I suggest ...

Mind you ... glad they weren't sited next to me.

Behind me or in front of me either!

There are some real tools in this world. I believe that a serious attitude adjustment would have been warranted.

Good for them! Their names don't sound too Russians by the way...

If I was leaving Bangkok for Siberia I'd be upset too!

How come I can see the carriers name and logo?

Quality tourists!

If they were as drunk as hinted at will they remember being taught a " Bangkok lesson in manners " ?

Where did the airport authorities find a Bangkokian capable of teaching " manners " anyway ?

I wonder if anyone will think to put them on the Immigration computer as " Not Permitted To Land " for any future visits or will TAT be only too willing to welcome them, after all a tourist is a tourist and they need to keep their arrival numbers up.

Stalin missed their ancestors.......

Good for them! Their names don't sound too Russians by the way...

What's in a name? Traditional Australian names are things like Benjara, Yarrah, Karruah etc but you generally hear of Smith, Ngyuen, Mustafa, Quan etc.

So they were "pissed" in all three ways in which the term can be used.

Yes, there were two Russians.

Ah yes, the quality tourist that Yingluck bleets on about.

when alcohol is involved there is not much you can do ...... I have seen very drunk brits , aussies , french , russians in Thailand ......

Nureyev doesn't sound Russian? Seriously, have you not heard of Rudolf Nureyev?

Where you come from?? Not anywhere near russia obviously!

The airline was not damaged by ghosts and spirits...well...spirit, maybe....

today's most tenuous link to bash Pattaya goes to David48:

''Sort of getting ready to do the same in Pattaya I suggest ...''

suggest away as much as you like but as they were flying OUT of Thailand to Ufa in Siberia it would be a long trip to Pattaya

Another Thailand security breach at the airport. No security issue discussed because Thais don't want to offend those valuable Russian tourists from Siberia.

drunk, standing on the tarmac pissing ya pants smoking a cigarette; happy days !!!!!!!!!

blame it to the spirits! "The Spirit of Vodka"

They weren't 'sited' next to anyone AND they weren't going to Pattaya, THEY WERE going to Siberia
