News Forum - About 7,000 Russians and Ukrainians stranded in Thailand
I stayed in Hua Hin from Wednesday last week until Sunday. There was a night market area on a long street full of restaurants, and most of the customers were Scandinavians and other nationalities, including Brits, I did not see a great presence of Russians. The atmosphere was great, for example, a live group in a pub/bar was playing to a large audience, all nice and pleasant. We went out each night and there was no sign of any problem, the atmosphere was relaxed. I have come across many Russians here in Phuket since November last year, they all seem clean, well-dressed, and polite, they are usually a family group. I saw a long queue outside a very expensive shop in Central Shopping, most of the customers were speaking Russian and did not seem poor as they bought their $1500 handbags, etc. There are lots of noisy Chinese tourists around at the moment in Phuket, in Tesco last night I was about to enter one of the checkout counters, a Chinese guy saw me and ran from ten yards away to get to the till first, I looked at him with a "that was rude expression", but it did not enter his head what he had done. But I did not assume all Chinese were like that, in fact when in Hua Hin last week at a 7/11 a group of Chinese was at the checkout, they saw I only had one item and so in very polite English said to me, "after you sir". -

You have no idea, don't you know that all Russians in Thailand are evil people out to get us? (Sarcasm). I was talking to a German neighbour last night, I had not seen him since the start of the pandemic in 2020. He owns two hotels in the Patong area of Phuket and says business has been fantastic since the lockdowns around the world ended, business is still good even though we are traditionally in the low season now. He did not mention anything about Russians, he did say there was a lot of trouble from the French nationals but then mentioned they were Arab speakers. -

Awful. Of course he denies. Have him watch the video and then see what his story change is. Police failed to act, again.They need some shakeup. -

News Forum - Dutch woman arrested at Phuket Airport for illegally entering Thailand
OK, I try again, because now I am completely confused. She was arrested at airport trying to enter Thailand, yes? If so, she would receive. stamp when she went to immigration. Unless she was already in Thailand. Maybe I am very thick here, but I don't get it. Yes, I understand she needed to have stamp & visa to be in thailand, but I interpreted to mean she was entering country when arrested. -

After the elections and we have a new cabinet in place to approve proposals. According to the Met office, the monsoon season occurs between July and October. They advise the best time to visit is between March and June. https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/travel/holiday-weather/asia/thailand#:~:text=The rainy or 'monsoon' season,lasts from March to June. Not all areas flood, even in the rainy season.
