raphoedon Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Russians, not only do they contribute little to the Thai economy but now they seem intent on ruining the business of people who do. They would not have tried this stunt in a Russian owned business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn0001 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Bloody Ruskie nutters. Anywhere else in the sane world they would have been charged with affray, or being a public nuisance. Anywhere else in the sane world the proprietor of the restaurant would have demanded action against these idiots for loss of business, and had the right to do so. The fall of the Ruble ? Please hurry. Have you never seen a prank TV show? These things do go on in other parts of the world, and guess what, they do not get charged with affray and they do not get sued, do you know why? It's because most people can see the funny side of comedy. Never mind mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thhMan Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Was the guy in the white shirt blue shorts the only real Thai in the restaurant ? Why did no one else punch the <deleted> out of those idiots. I dont think that works.. I think you have to cut their heads off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cumgranosalum Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 What would Thailand be without such quality tourists? yes - I guess many TV contributors and other tourists take the threat of Zombies very seriously.............and Godzilla?

They would not have tried this stunt in a Russian owned business. Only a couple billion dollars of trade, about 0.5% of the total Thai economy, and that's before the half a million tourists even start spending. How much does your country contribute? Russians would not have tried this stunt in Russia? Now you are just being silly, there are similar Russian pranksters with over 1 billion Youtube hits.

Yann55 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Apparently some Russians have a sense of humor. Who knew? No, your wrong. They are miserable all day and night. Just look at them in the 7/11. Anything like a smile, No way, 10,000 frowns a day, keeps happiness away. Agreed, but frankly the gloomy face syndrom is not specifically Russian around here. I live in a condominium in the heart of Jomtien, with a few Russians (much less than 3/4 years ago) in it, and mostly people from Northern Europe (UK, Germany, Holland and Scandinavia). Well ... with very few exceptions, and no matter whether they're expats or tourists, they never say hello in the elevator, they never smile, they behave like uneducated moujiks, and if they look at you in the eye, it's with a touch of vindictiveness : "what the hell are you doing on my turf ?". The only places where I see them smiling is in bars. Thank you Dr Beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Love it! But the Thai's overactive imagination would think it's for real...... Messed up business for the night. Breach of the peace. Scum! Come on......it's a prank only. If the business owner was smart he could use it as a marketing stunt. Take a few pictures, YouTube visibility and bring in more customers. If life gives you lemons.....make lemonade. You guys are way........too serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil2407 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 1st "Zombie" paid his bill What will the BIB charge them with? Being idiots? Bad tourists? Being zombies? Affecting tourism? Will the restaurant sue them for loss of business? The mind boggles but look forward to the outcome ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackcorbett Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) I've met quite a few Russians lately who do have a sense of humor and who are actually pretty cool. My guess is some of them saw my movie on You Tube, "The Walking Russian Dead of Pattaya", had a sense of humor and ran with it. Look the movie up on You Tube and tell me what you think.

gyrosman Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 What would Thailand be without such quality tourists? Broke and never updating the furniture in the place. But, they paid their bill. But, I still love Thai's during Bruce Lee on tourist with machetes and university problems, local music fest (rival villages), No blood shed, unlike when the Thai's are involved. Oh! yea, sorry prior post police subject tourist to piss test. Here's a novel idea take those 100 police in riot gear and BLOCK all bus stations and in time taxi stands and test them. My country does this on us not TOURIST, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mankondang Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Lucky the Zombies didnt get a spike or a bit of cold steel thru the heart ! Then again mmm In the heart? You're not gonna last very long when world war z happens, newb The owner of the Surf Bakery, a very good friend of mine, has good connections with the Pattaya Mayor and all the local governors, having served on the council previously. He is/was also the coach of the Thai Windsurfing Team based at Jomtien. As such, he has many people he can call upon to find these Russian gangsters and mete out "appropriate" justice. The police, based just a couple hundred metres away, clearly did not want to know! Gangsters? Lol Yes , high ranking officials are usually good friends with foreigners . Now back to real world Agree, But we have some who think the real world entails getting ready for "when World War Z happens". Now these people really do scare me. Think I'll go and watch "Shaun of the Dead" !!??!!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkleMoooose Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Which is the funniest part here, the Russians playing around (should have saved it for April fools day) or the child-like reaction of the Thais who clearly believe in zombies, bogey men, ghosts and spaghetti monsters? That's the level of intellect and mentality you're dealing with here folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robblok Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 It was just a prank.. what a bunch of cranky old guys post on this forum. There are shows with pranks like this on air in many nations.

robblok Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 But Tywais.. why bring reason in a perfectly good excuse for the resident OAP brigade to bash the Russians by showing it happens elsewhere too. Your shattering their grumpy existence by taking away a good reason to bash the Russians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaidream Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Had this been my business- I would have intervened in a way the perpetrators may not have expected and they would never try this stuff again. A crime was committed- people lost belongings and the restaurant lost business. they should have been arrested immediately and ordered to pay compensation. This is not funny in any way as it affects the lives of others directly. Simply a bunch of ignorant and selfish foreigners- no wonder Thais are so suspicious of foreigners.

scorecard Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Love it! But the Thai's overactive imagination would think it's for real...... If you were the restaurant owner would you be concerned or would you think it's just a joke? Would some of your customers leave quickly and never come back and tell their friends to avoid this 'dangerous' restaurant? If you had small kids would you be back quickly? If you were the restaurant owner is that all OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alocacoc Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 google "krokodil" .........................could be the answer ? or you have just been exposed to russian humour .........way more funny than the western cretin that was putting his back pack next to people yelling "ali aka" I found the terrorist prank funnier.

bkkgooner Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 What were they doing in a restaurant? 7-11s all closed?? They overslept and didn't get a chance to raid the breakfast buffet for lunch and dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
English 1 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I do so wish these Russians would stay in their country as they are a complete menace to society. Miserable, Rude, Ill Mannered and Violent especially when Paralytic from Booze which is their normal state of being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza40 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Apparently some Russians have a sense of humor. Who knew? If you watch Thai TV "comedy" shows, it's a bit difficult to work out which sense of humor is more subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
