  1. https://www.gallup.com/analytics/355787/gallup-rating-world-leaders-report.aspx For to get full report you should fill form. Basic numbers are on that page, including number about Russia (of course).
  2. You should check Gallup report published today: disapproval of Russia and Russians lowered 4% in world in 2023 despite all Western propaganda, while disapproval of US and Americans raised on 3%.
  3. Oh, now I know why Thai govt just extended initial visa-free time for Russians from 30 days to 60 days from May 1st. They just do not like VP hospital. P.S. Novosti Phuketa is just a Russian translation of Phuket News leading by AU men, who moved to Phuket in 2000.
  4. Guys, OP just spoke with AI. There are few AI for Line platform, most known are Neru, Susi and Rev. When AI isn't trained enough, then such "chats" appears.
  5. It is on Kampa, installed more than 20 years ago. It for sure already was there in 2007. The sculptures' penises move up and down. https://www.museumkampa.cz/
  6. Every Thai has at least three names. 1. The sacred name they receive from the monk immediately after birth during the first blessing. Only the parents and the person himself know this name. Thais believe that knowledge of this name can give control over a person, call evil spirits to him, etc. 2. Official first and last name used in documents and identification cards. That's right - any Thai can change his name whenever he wants. One of my Thai friends has done this 3 times already “for good luck”. The process is very simple - visit the state office and submit an application. I don’t remember the exact cost, but it is affordable - something around 1000-3000 baht, takes 3-7 days. 3. Short names for everyday use. It is not a "nickname" because a nickname may be given by the community or friends and the name is chosen by them themselves, usually after consulting an astrologer or monk, and very often they visit the temple and ask the monks for blessings to use it. Parents also use this name to call their children, so it's definitely not a nickname. Parents of small children choose their first short name themselves. Well, besides this, naturally many Thais have nicknames from friends or community.
  7. Are you still following me around the forum and counting commas? Good luck to you in your difficult task. You must be terribly angry that I speak your language much better than you speak mine?
  8. “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.
  9. "No longer"? Does author knows words "fact checking"? Bilateral agreement btw Russia and Thailand has been signed in 2005...
  10. Just install Bolt or Grab and you will be on safe side of taxi in VN
  11. 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.
  12. I avoid to buy meat from such stalls, but easy buy pancakes and fruits.
  13. 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/
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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
  18. You just compared the Thai government to Hitler's.
  19. policy may be only in govt... unfortunately for you, Thai govt is more than loyal to Russia, and mutual state visits confirm it.
  20. 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.
  21. 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
  22. Your "strong society" falling apart on your eyes and you pretend not see it. Such society polarization never been in US since Civil war. So don't pretend you are from "strong society". The storming of the Capitol is hardly a sign of a strong society, and it is certainly not a sign of a cohesive society. By the way: you "society" still owes human civilization for the genocide of the indigenous population of America, for the nuclear bombing of Japanese civilians, for more than half a million victims of the invasion of Iraq... Therefore, your empty pride, inflated with air, about a “strong society” is worth less than the price of the air in it... Deal with your under-candidates for president, one of whom is an old senile, and the other a red-haired neo-Nazi clown, maybe there will be a reason for pride. In the meantime, your "strong society" is more like a herd of sheep, led by a clan gerontocracy behind a clown or a senile person. P.S. How many scions of the Kennedy clan have already warmed their asses in the Senate over the past 70 years? P.P.S. Your “strong society” is still not trusted to even directly vote for its own president.
  23. Why you call it "free"? You monthly pay for that. Yes, it is still affordable in Thailand, but nobody knows how long it will lasts. Minimal hourly rate and average wage in Thailand is going up quite fast.
  24. Today in Thai news (on Thaiger) published news what British pedophile has been arrested after returning to UK. Should I make conclusion "that people from UK are committing an inordinate amount of crime in the Kingdom"?
