To be fair, Pattaya did just fine financially with that lot for decades.

Yep.  And many Thai ladies were quite content with their drinking then early to bed expat man.  Many would say, the sooner he falls asleep the sooner they can then go out with their friends.

Chinese, Indians and Russians: at least the Russians bring some good-looking women with them.

Well, there are some for sure, but there are also a large amount of battle axes like the large Russian woman a few years back that was not going to be intimidated by the Jet Ski scammers.

I have reading all comments on this article. It looks like people here only complaining about Thailand and feel pity for them selves. Because Thai government to do consider them numbers 1 in Thailand. In my life I met a lot of stupid people from England and USA. They behaved themselves even worse then Russian do. Do not forget that a lot of english who lives in Thailand is from London Getto.

I know many men from England and Germany who stay on tunnfish and bread in Thailand. 

That who is worse Russian tourist or English American Getto man.?

I'm swedish by the way

yeah, similar to the chinese tourist groups.  But how many Thai girls, or I guess guys really want to hook up them and move to Russia? Very small percentage compared to those that would want to go to the USA or the UK or Germany et al.

I am sure that TAT don't give a hoot about foreigners hooking up with local women, or where those women might decide to travel.

I hope they stay in Thailand. So many Thai restaurants in my area plus a few massage places. We had a big influx of Chinese. Even  my Mailman is a China man.

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 US$ to Thai Baht rate is not really relevant, but I agree that the Rouble is not doing all that well against the Baht either.

 

Using the charts on xe.com .....

April 2017 the rate was 1 baht = 1.65 Roubles, today it is 2.12 Roubles to the Baht. That is a 27% cost increase for the Russians since 2017. In the same period the cost for USD went up 14%, 15% for the Pound, or 19% for the Euro. The only important currency (for me at least) that did as badly as the Russians is the Australian dollar which also lost about 27% value since 2017. But what can you expect when you have the current idiots in power in Canberra.

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.

Maybe after the Russians and Indians, Westerners will be welcome again. 55555

I can tell you why Russians do not marry Thai. Most Russian tourist who comes to Thailand meets only Thai prostitutes. In Russia no one marry a prostitute. If someone find out verge one will speak about it. The woman will not be welcome anywhere. If the man has good job , he can lose it.

Not even Chinese or Indian will marry prostitute.

Why western man do? Many comes from Getto and try to live in Thailand. Some are old and do not care much.

 

That the answer for your question.

People on thai forum saying: Chinise no good, Indian no good, Russians no good.

 

Who is good and spend a lot of money?

When I'm in Bangkok I stay in 5 stars hotels for around 3000 bath per night. I see many Chinese.

I see few indians.

I do not like indians my self. Look like jepsy to me.

I wonder if plane loads of Russian hookers will be arriving to reinforce the ones who work as go-go dancers in Pattaya's Walking Street and try to drag punters into their bar to get ripped off.  I never understood how they can work so openly.  Surely this is a job that Thai women/ lady boys can do without the need to import foreign specialists?  I can't believe they all have Thai citizenship.

Because most people do not know the history between Thailand and Russia....Thailand National Anthem was inspired by Russian & the Flag was Inspired by Russia...If you see Russian and Thailand Flag they are very similar..

As early as in the late 1870s King Chulalongkorn of Thailand on numerous occasions expressed his wish to establish permanent diplomatic relations with Russia. Russian naval officers whose ships periodically came to Bangkok carried to the Russian Tsar the first royal letters containing a clear intention of the Siamese government to develop bilateral trade, diplomatic and cultural cooperation with Russia.

do you have some reliable source for yours statements about the flag and the national anthem?

I have read some differents versions about that.

Anyway i strongly doubts that a few old links between the 2 countries explain

and justify the presence of gogo dancers from the east (Not sure at all they are from Russia)

outside of all the immigrations and work permit rules

Dreaming.

 

As long as Tommy, Chuck and Cobber Wayne keep whining and bitching and piddling on other nationalities, you've had your time and the new demographic is taking place. Welcome Xiao Jie, Rashid and Ivan.

 

Even taking this small corner as an example, would you want yourselves as a welcoming committee? The word welcome isn't in the TVF vernacular, and you wonder why the Thais want you gone? Just read what you write. You're poisonous.

 

The only thing you embrace is happy hour.

Rama V’s son graduated from a prestigious military academy in Russia which may be the reason Thai ceremonial military uniforms resemble the Russian ones. A Russian composer wrote the music for the Thai national anthem (it is now the Royal anthem). And Rama V himself visited St. Petersburg.

The colours of the Thai flag are the same as those of the Russian flag. Some people believe that the three colours symbolise the same things in both countries: red = people; white = religion; and blue = monarchy.
