Russian tourism group threatens Thailand boycott

[sateeb]

I wouldn't mind seeing the Ruskies go elsewhere.....

Let me guess....Pattaya is a short taxi ride away seems to be your stock response these days

Lets keep the racism out of this thread please.

It doesn't really matter if you like Russians or not - their number increases each year and they spend more and more each year. Perhaps more then any other nation in Thailand. Well maybe Chinese spend a bit more. So Thailand needs Ruskies.

The Russian are not coming the Russians are not coming!So would any of you be upset if they stopped coming? As I have a bias...One bad moment in Koh Samet I would say I have no problem if they stay away.(just me)

Now now, don't put words in my mouth.
We are all entitled to express our opinions, even you.
Help keep Hua Hin clean.

Is this a bit of the pot calling the kettle black here?
Anybody who has watched some of the Russian dash cams going about on you tube and the like would be horrified at what they see on the roads in Russia.
Yes please keep Hua Hin clean.
I have had two very unpleasant experiences with Russian people and have no wish to associate with them - ever.

According to Wikipedia, the estimated population of Russia in 2013 is 143,600,000...

Yes it's 100% of the Russians you've met
But that still only represents just under 0.0000015% of the population.

I'm sure there's somebody out there who has had 2/2 bad encounters with whatever rationality you are... best kick you out too (and me, and every other member of this forum)



These constant race generalizations from supposedly grown adult on this forum really tick me off. I taught English as a Foreign Language back in England for 5 years and over that time taught hundreds of Russian students and encountered 10s of Russian groups leaders.

Guess what?
Some of the students were disruptive little s****, and some were friendly, good people.
Some of the group leaders were complete a***h***s, and some were friendly, good people.

Shocking eh? Who would have thought it.

[Ropes]

Who said anything about kicking them out?
I said I don't want anything to do with them based on the experiences I have had.
Like a lot of people I chose my friends and will continue to do so.
