  1. “I would like to see incorporated” the fact that in 2011, at the peak of visits from the UK with an “exaggerated” number of 900K, there were more than 1.1 million visits by Russians without visas. So the words that “a visa is no longer required” in relation to Russian citizens are simply profanity.
  2. "No longer"? Does author knows words "fact checking"? Bilateral agreement btw Russia and Thailand has been signed in 2005...
  3. Just install Bolt or Grab and you will be on safe side of taxi in VN
  4. HCMC (Saigon). Lower. Bar Code bar + around Pub street + sauna in Mens Nothing besides some activity in apps Safe within Yangon border, with caution it is possible to visit Bagan, but nothing to do in meanings of gay activity.
  5. I avoid to buy meat from such stalls, but easy buy pancakes and fruits.
  6. New review on Pete's tours in Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) Pete's profile and more photos are here: https://siamroads.com/pete-tour-guide-saigon-ho-chi-minh/
  7. First time arrival more than 1.4 per year was in 2009. So Thai already 15 years know how it works and got used to this amount for a long time, moreover they are happy to serve such amount. And article itself is just one more attempt to make buzz about presence of Russian citizens in Thailand, which is clearly lower than 10 years ago. Yet.
  8. When the cat has nothing to do, he licks own balls. When Mark has nothing substantive to object to, he gets personal. Keep looking at commas, loser.
  9. No. Historical ties since Rama V times. On January 15, 1896, British Foreign Secretary Lord Salisbury and French Ambassador de Courcelles signed a special declaration on Siam in London, in which the country was divided into French and British zones of influence; France then tried to expand the colonized territory from Vietnam and Cambodia and include Thailand. Rama V then visited both countries to prevent this actual colonization, but did not find understanding, the French government even refused to meet with him. (here we can discuss historical similarity with Ribbentrop, do you want?) After this, he visited Russia and managed to convince the emperor to intervene, because when 15 years early future emperor of Russia was with visit in Thailand he found there a very warm welcome from the king - the father of Rama V. Russian influence prevented the colonization of Thailand by France. On June 27, 1897, the Russian Foreign Ministry received a telegram from the French Foreign Ministry with the consent of the French government to accept the Siamese monarch. The fact of Chulalongkorn's solemn meeting in Paris and his negotiations with French Foreign Minister Ganoto brought Franco-Siamese relations out of a state of crisis. After this, relations between the Thailand and Russia developed very rapidly; one of the king’s sons became the ambassador of Thailand to Russia, and another prince had a Russian wife. In our time, Thailand has become the first country outside the territory of the former USSR, with which the current Russian state signed an agreement on visa-free visits. Russians do not need a visa to Thailand, Thais do not need a visa to Russia. This happened even before Thailand began to develop tourism and citizens of many countries received the opportunity for visa-free entry for their tourists.
  10. This is classic loser behavior: when he has nothing substantive to argue, he starts looking at words and commas. If you have any complaints about the quality of the translation, you can contact support@google.com
  11. policy may be only in govt... unfortunately for you, Thai govt is more than loyal to Russia, and mutual state visits confirm it.
  12. This part is inaccurate. Russian citizens are able to travel to any country and do so. Russia and the EU have mutually banned direct airline flights to/from Russia. Many EU countries, including Germany, Italy, and France continue to issue visas to Russian citizens. Germany, for example, has 5 visa centers in the Russian Federation. The only difference in travel is that now flights take place with transfers in Istanbul, Belgrade, Dubai, Doha and other airports in countries where governments are not subject to anti-Russian hysteria. Well, the article itself is also an example of anti-Russian hysteria, describing the “horrors of the Russian invasion of Thailand”: 1.4 million in 2023 still does not reach the 2.5 million visits of Russian citizens to Thailand in 2019. Now the season has already ended, but an agreement has already been signed for 30% more flights to Thailand from Russian airports for the fall.
  13. Yeah, you just forgot to mention she was German princess, who ruled after her died husband. Princess Sophia Augusta Frederica von Anhalt-Zerbst, known as Ekaterina Great. And you also forgot, what Russians already had election, when the USA did not yet exist - in XII century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novgorod_veche
