Re: The Russians are Leaving
Several years ago there was many Russians in Pattaya and the Thais quickly learnt how to make signs in the language. Probably today they are non existant.
On Walking Street I’m told there was a girlie Gogo staffed by Russian girls, who were by all accounts adept at collecting customer’s cash. The majority of Russian tourists were in family groups but there was some single hot gay males who were often found in the Sansuk around the pool wearing revealing speedos, but I never came across one in the maze although I would have liked to.

Their usual hang out was Serene Bar in BT.

Russky are as able as Thai to find some pocket baht: more likely is they taught/showed the Thai (most not overly adapt at learning non-ASEAN languages in general) how to write it and what to advertise. From an awful long time ago I even remember being offered a free meal by some Thai if I would write in my language some advertsing sign-way before that google-translate was there. Russky has some special phrasing for some items. No idea about actual situation in Patters.
Having seen the nrs of tourists in the late pandemic situation I was surprised very much in how much % there were Russky among them.
Re: The Russians are Leaving
Back in 2012 in a report on a trip to Pattaya I wrote about a boy bar on Walking Street called Good Guys. The majority of customers were Russian women. (But they catered to gays, too).

And as a sign of the times, one boy was clutching a Thai-Russian phrasebook.
Chinese later took over.

?? Well considering that I was born here and my ancestors have lived here, exactly where I still live for well over 350+ years and probably a lot more than that actually I’m not quite sure of your point. We’re hardly taking over anyplace we already lived for centuries. Perhaps your understanding of Irish history of various clans such as the Cruthin leaving here for Scotland and coming back again etc is somewhat limited so I’ll just have to put your comment down to that I guess.
