Most of hoes are from other countries - call them *stans.

Russian mafia is here for almost a decade and a half, lets say - few very big venues in Pattaya, skyscrapers in Bkk, golf court in Hua Hin and huge m/f/ plots of land in Phuket.

The concept of russian mafia is heavily over rated by Omerical mass media and movies.

In the mean time, this agreement was made not for russians but for thais - to ease them developing new markets while the economy is sinking - I think I saw 100s of thai passports in Embassy waithing for entry visa. From now on it would be easier for thais enter and commit their deals -

" FINALY, DARLIN' HAS COME TO MOSCOW !"

[midas]

Will this mean Russians can enter Thailand for as long as they want

and will they also be exempt from work permit requirements ?

Is the latter because of the former?

[dsfbrit]

I think this is a good thing for the Thais and my family in particular.

Having jumped thrpugh the proverbial hoop to visit the UK, I decided I would only visit countries with my Thai wife where I didn't have to mess about getting visas.

We can now visit somewhere in Europe - great.

No, they will be just like other 41 nations in the list of VOA or what the h**l is it called.

But if you interesting - I can introduce to some very illegal workers, if you know what I mean

Western Russia is in Europe, but it ain't Europe.

[pap]

Whose kidding who, the first Thai to step off a plane in Russia will immediatly fly back to Thailand and tell everyone how bad the food is and how cold it is.

I expect to see lots more Russians in Thailand than vice versa. They aren't fond of the cold either.

[Little Black Duck]

Wow!!! does this mean we will be getting good quality Vodka at cheap prices ???

And vice versa my friend!

the first thought to spring into my mind was, "I'm going ot change my name to Kayovski and go through the one time hassle of becoming a russian...

... in order to spend the rest of my days visa free in LOS
