Russian tourists undesirable ?

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Russian tourists undesirable ?

Post by CEOCambodiaNews »

This was posted on social media today. First question, have Russians become the tourists that nobody wants ? Secondly, is this legal ? Imagine if the sign said No Thais.

Koh Chang -
As we were driving through the island we saw this sign.
We stopped to take a picture, thinking it's a joke.
It's not

I have also seen "No Israelis" signs in Thailand and Vietnam. Not sure about the legality but in principle any business has the right to refuse customers.

Russians can be difficult, especially those on the cheaper end. But then that is true for many nationalities.

so far in this thread we have no

Russians
Israelis
Chinese
pikies
blacks
Irish

but I doubt if any one of this group would ultimately be refused entry if they took out $100 bill and slapped it on the table :plus1:

No laws in these these countries regarding this. Probably had a bad experience or two and decided enough was enough.

I took three Indian guys who worked with me for a meal in PP lately.

If I had not been in charge of them, and they not new in the country I would have just walked out and left them there. Two of the three were extraordinarily rude to staff, uncouth, lots of spitting and hacking, and just whinging bastards generally.

If it were my place of business I would have asked them to leave.
