Popular Post NamKangMan Posted April 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2014 Another quality expat, sexpat or tourist on Phuket. Terrible for the family, probably including young children, to witness this assault. I'm sure the family will chose a different holiday destination next year. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lee b Posted April 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2014 Not defending the Russians ( especailly this guy ) But there is alot of Russian bashing on here. 90% of tourists in Phuket are animals. Go and see for yourself. I know Russians commit alot of crimes but they are not the only ones.

Popular Post WoopyDoo Posted April 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2014 Prison, deportation and blacklisting is all this <deleted> deserves. I would also attach a massive compensation award for his victim, and keep him in prison until it is paid in full.... Also charge him 500 baht a day for all the time they have to hold him till payment arrives. Send out a clear message to all stupid and violent idiots that it won't be tolerated in a family holiday resort. Pity it wasn't a Thai he attacked, he would likely be in hospital now. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post technologybytes Posted April 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 26, 2014 Ok, I know that saying this won't make me popular... but. It kind of depends on what it is that the Australian man shouted at the Russian man. Not that I condone violence under any circumstances. But there is such a thing as provocation and it would seem that in fairness we should know if the man was provoked, 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me an indication there is more to it, and that 'more' I would guess is a general a tiredness with Russians here in Thailand. There have been protests already, next time will probably be stronger. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he will "pay" is a few baht to the police, to make it go away. I had a friend of a friend try that on a drug charge. They took his money alright. And they "tried". He got two years. It's been seventeen months now and my friend says he looks like he has been in there ten years. He always was rather skinny but now he is really skinny, dirty, smelly, and missing a front tooth because someone tried to steal his shirt. This jerk in the article is probably broke. I think they should put him in shackes and to work in the rice fields. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Australian had of kept his mouth shut it wouldn't of happened. Seen too many people shoot their mouth only for it to bite them on the ass when it comes on top. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moe666 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 The usual nonsense post, knew a guy in Chiang mai and his anger cost him dearly. He hit another customer in a bar and fractured his eye socket well he had to pay the guys hospital bills and a 20,000baht fine, they do not all walk away with 500baht fine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me an indication there is more to it, and that 'more' I would guess is a general a tiredness with Russians here in Thailand. There have been protests already, next time will probably be stronger. It's just plain racist to say that. This is one individual who happens to be Russian (and we don't even know that for sure). The Russians that I have met in Thailand have all been very polite and well behaved.. I judge people as I find them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
