and it will certainly help Cambodia to be more indebted and more colonized by Chinese after those two mega airport projects.
I still marvel at fact that new Siem Reap airport did not have any sign in Khmer, just English and Chinese like Chonquing or Harbin airports.
On merit, I think railway would better idea and less disruptive to environment than canal able presumably to carry ocean bound vessels.
Expected cost of 1.7 bn will for sure be twice as much if not more when completed as all big infrastructure projects are.

However, after a few exchanges, my gut feeling told me to proceed with caution.
I hope curiosity prevails and you will venture there as so far we never had reports from that shop.
On another hand from experience I can confirm that gut feeling , whether about the places or particular boys quite often is remarkably accurate predictor of things to come.
But at end of day if we don't try, we don't know.

And you STILL don't understand that sentence. You incorrectly think it compares the current Thai government to Hitler's government.
correct, I just wanted to point the fact that in politics at times high level visits are made to and received from unfriendly nations. We can mention Adenauer's visit in Moscow in 1955 or Obama's in Cuba few years ago.
Ribbentrop's visit gave Germany free hand in attacking Poland and USSR free hand in swallowing Baltics and big chunk of Eastern Poland and created real fake peace between two countries.

that is not nice either, there are many of us here who may not comprehend sophistry of English but still consider themselves citizens of this forum with full rights

gladly and I'm well prepared but not on this forum for fear of derailing it's main theme
16 hours ago, Moses said: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.
As I said anywhere else in this forum I don't mind mingling with Russian tourists in Thailand and in matter of fact everywhere else. Easier for me as I can converse in Russian.
Happy they finally started to travel and get used to foreign countries and foreigners after few generations being basically locked inside their country.
Perhaps they had option of travelling visa free to Thailand for long time but their arrival en masse is fairly recent occurrence, good for both countries. What Russians and Chinese need is to learn to mingle with other tourists and nationalities instead of sticking only to their folks .

Well good on him.
He is enjoying life 😁
You'd think though , he would invite me & Vinapu to the dinner parties !!!😮
I know who you talking about but I doubt he knows about my existence as I'm extremely rare visitor in Sunee and never was. On another hand I never saw him in Boyztown.

Kata is definitely very Russian now, not necessarily a bad thing but can see how it could be overwhelming for locals when such a mass of people with a different culture arrive at once.
fact that local at Kata should generally be accustomed to avalanche of foreigners should be mitigating factor, specially if they spend and don't haggle much

Siam Paragon, Icon Siam and Central World are all great malls but my favorite has become Samyan Mitrtown. Just one stop away from Silom MRT station.
and across the street from Wat Hualampong if one needs spritual lift or just sightseeing site

come on Moses, it's not loyalty, even less love , just an interest.
Certain very important Thai figure still prefers to spent most of his time in Germany, not Sochi
As for visits , fact that Ribbentrop visited Moscow at end of Aug 1939 at end of day did not do any good for neither USSR nor Germany.

no need to be hysterical about an article as there's nothing hysterical there.
There's nothing anti Russian there in respect of their tourists in Thailand, fact that they feature prominently in Phuket landscape is visible fact and nowhere there it suggests it's bad sign.
That some locals don't like them being in such masse is not unique to Russians , nor Phuket but happens in may places in the world where locals feel overwhelmed by influx of arrivals be it Cracow in Poland and British or Djerba in Tunisia and Germans not to even mention Pattaya and Chinese bus tours.
Certainly to be more liked tourists need to learn how to blend in local culture and tip generously. I never had slightest problems with Russian tourists everywhere but certainly and visibly they like to keep to themselves. I understand that for society with ingrained mistrust of strangers it may take longer to learn that type of social skills.
