30la Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I remember well when so many Russians came to Thailand, so many hotels had an off limits for them! Then because of the bad economy and the very low currency they didn't come so many, Thailand was crying! Now see some thousands of Russians and, EUREKA welcome the Russians! We will see how many and how long they will come again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joecoolfrog Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 3 hours ago, Gweiloman said: Seems like the only group of tourists that TVF posters approve of are the knuckle dragging, bar stool sitting sexpat in Pattaya. If you care to get off your high horse and ponder the facts , TAT are celebrating a number of visitors who may arrive NEXT YEAR ! That degree of absurdity suggests that the tourist outlook is somewhat more shakey than even the most bitter TV member thinks. After 20 years travelling in Thailand I personally have never set foot in Pattaya up to now , but given your recomendation I shall have a look next month.

Deli Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Prior to the Chinese invasion, Thais where more then unhappy about the Russians as Tourists. Having seen that there is much worse, now they welcome them - or their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swedenlars Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 So I hope TAT has informed all 7/11 shops to stock up Vodka and beer. Not to forget hiring more strong bouncers in the walking street area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jane Dough Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 2 hours ago, legend49 said: The Russians - once scared off foreign travel including Thailand due to the collapse of the rouble - are now back in droves. Rouble has fallen further against the US dollar so this is total bull s%%t media piece. I have been in Russia for the last two years on assignments, first year exchange rate was 55 rouble to $1, last year it got worse to 59 rouble to $1. Currently today is peaking downhill at 64 rouble to $1. Pity the writers dont check their facts before making up stories. The story doesn't say that they are back because the rouble improved, just that they stopped coming for a while when it went down. Rooster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveK Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 It's just more smoke and mirrors - anything to take the attention away from the stupidly inflated baht because any REAL attempts to reign it in will upset the rich (who are in control of everything in Thailand).

Personally i find groups of Russians not only extremely rude and pushy, but loud and arrogant. Pity the locals having to put up with them in large numbers again. The same was said about the Israelis 20 years ago, but now that would be anti semitic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
