Thanks for the warning.  They're the most annoying tourists I've ever encountered.  I can't imagine them concentrated in one spot.

If you could somehow combine American, British, and Chinese tourists all into one, they'd be Russian tourists.

British tourists recently in Thailand noticed the changes. Michael Shackleton, 39, of Didsbury, Manchester, said: "In Pattaya you can't move for Russian men of fighting age." Colin Shepherd, 52, of Southampton, who was in Phuket with wife Helen, said: "All the menus are now in Russian as well as English. They've taken over."

"Goddamnit, this is our dirt-cheap tropical country to run over and force them to speak our language and cater to our needs.  These farking Russians are ruining everything."

FTFA: In Pattaya, would-be conscript Nikolai, 25, said he had travelled between Thailand, Cambodia and Laos to escape a call-up.
He said: "This is not my war. I have never voted for Vladimir Putin.
"I can't stop the war by being in Russia, but I will do all I can and all my income allows me to never join his troops, and never fight against Ukraine."

Honestly, not sure I can blame him. What could he do - protest? In farking Russia, in the middle of a self-righteous war? Pretty sure the government's response to a 'right to assemble' would be:

So the russians who are wealthy enough to flee are doing so, leaving only the poor to be conscripted. That'll do wonders for the demographics of a country.

There have always been a lot of Russians in Phuket. Despite the opening comments, I've never met a Russian I didn't like. I can't say that about tourists from other countries... Looking at you, China.

Was in Phuket in 2021, right after they started letting tourists back. Saw various warning signs during a jungle tour (don't climb here, don't swim there, etc.), and the biggest lettering was always in Cyrillic. Hmm.

Sure. And the instant they see an opportunity for a bigger and better deal, they will take half your stuff and move on.

Or worse, suddenly babushka.

Or even worser, you she will ask you for money to help her cousin Ivan who has just come to America. And is really not her cousin.

I mean, there are many permutations and combinations on why that's a horrible idea.

This movie franchise warps and transmutes time and space. Don't try to constrain it. For instance, the fictional character, Rocky Balboa, is an *actual* hero in the city of Philadelphia.

They make Americans looks good. I recall hanging out with a Tour Guide for a group of young Russians who were on Playas de Tijuana, and the guy couldn't stand them, crude, disrespectful and just all around pieces of shiat. The guide was really concerned though because these a-holes decided they just had to go to Acapulco (for some murder tourism or something as orcs are want to do), and there was no way he was willing to risk his life to amuse those farkwads, so was hoping to talk them out of it, but was considering quitting and leaving them hanging if it came to that.

They invented the concept of limited liability, aka incorporation, that seems pretty egregious nowadays
