Whilst out this evening walking the dog i took a different route from normal and ended up at the bottom of Soi 12 thayappra --- so i walked up the soi to get back to where i was going
wow what an eye opener -- it was thronged with Russian families ,the shop signs are 90% in russian --i had to search for english ones !!!!
Now we all know that the amount of russian visitors to Pattaya has increased in recent years but this soi has to be seen to believed !!!!!

And the vendors are taking a advantage of them also -- i enquired to the price of fresh coconuts at one stall and was quoted 40 baht -- u can get then at Wat chai markets for 20-25 b

At another stall i asked for the price of fresh pineapple (30b also ) and was awnsered by the thai vendor in Russian --and i watched as he then spoke in Russian to another couple in their own language ---

And there was a lot of young sexy hunks strolling up and down the soi --mostly with young sexy russian girls hanging off them --
