I realize this is low, but look at upside, you finally get the opportunity to drive a car in Pattaya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Why Russians don't (usually) smile! Fascinating.

Y0DA Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 You don't have to go that far...no Russians on the dark side, thankfully. You must have your eyes closed. Or maybe it's just so dark on the darkside that you cant see them even with your eyes open. I see plenty of them there and I only cross Sukumvit once a week for Sunday lunch and to get my car washed. When you look at the dark side, careful you must be. For the dark side looks back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a cultural thing. What we see on the outside (absence of a smile) is not necessarily what is going on in the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anotheruser Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 My feeling is that it has become MORE dreary. The domination of the Russian demographic has effectively KILLED a lot of the diversity that DID exist more in the past. Cheers. Could be worse, it could be jam packed full of elderly gay people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) On the front lines of the Russification front ... Is DA the new KA? In -- DA Out -- KA (for Thai girls) Buying an item today, the saleslady kept saying DA. I said, I am not a DA, not everyone with white skin is Russian. She hears me, looks confused, and then continues to say DA to me about 20 times. More DA than you would expect KA by far! So, now very amused, I speak to her again about it, and ask her why she keeps speaking Russian to me when I told her I don't speak Russian. Her hilarious answer: Not speaking Russian, DA is Thai, same like KA. Did she actually believe that? Edited March 23, 2014 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were taught not to smile during communist times but now its because if you live in Moscow you have nothing to smile about Marcusd.

I reckon there's a few workers down at the Food Court at Central who can speak more Russian than English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 I reckon there's a few workers down at the Food Court at Central who can speak more Russian than English. Definitely. What struck me as funny about the DA girl is that I got the impression she was saying DA to be welcoming to the white people, but didn't have the slightest cue what language she was speaking. My other guess is that was the only Russian word she knew. She really did seem to think all white people in town will be happy to hear DA. She's over half right!

tropo Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Down at Central I seem to hear het (nyeht) more than Da (from the Thai staff). LOL I think the Thai people here handle the Russians rather well in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
