Russian Tourism Group Threatens Thailand Boycott

[hangama100]

The Russian Union of Travel Industry (RUTI) has urged the Thai authorities to improve safety for Russian tourists in Thailand or face a boycott from its members. 

 

The Union, which represents more than 5,000 business groups and state agencies related to tourism industry in Russia, has submitted the letter to the Moscow office of Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), said Mr. Narin Tijayung, director of the TAT branch in Moscow.

 

The letter followed the road accident which injured more than 30 Russians in Pattaya on 15 November, four of them in serious condition. 51 Russian tourists were on their double-deck bus when it overturned on the highway, which the police believed was caused by the driver was dosing behind the wheel.

 

There have also been other cases of Russian tourists suffering from accidents or crimes in Thailand. Last month, 1 Russian tourist was killed and more than 30 other Russian passengers were injured when their tour bus flipped over in Kanchanaburi province.

 

Mr. Narin said the letter submitted by RUTI, which is addressed to the Thai Ministry of Tourism and Sports, called for a concise, practical measure to ensure safety for Russian tourists in the kingdom.

 

The letter specifically names road safety in Thailand as the main concern for the RUTI and its members, Mr. Narin added, such as the training of drivers, the condition of vehicles, and traffic regulations which have been lightly enforced.

 

The RUTI also reportedly demanded the Thai government to solve these issues within the end of November, otherwise it will consider responses necessary to maintain the safety of Russian citizens by canceling all scheduled charter flights from Russia throughout the period of December 2013 - March 2014.

 

If the cancellation indeed came to effect, other countries in the region, such as Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam would be picked as destinations instead of Thailand, the letter reportedly warned.

They want to change generations of behavior by the end of the month.

 

Okay.

[leeds]

Thais been told there doing something wrong. Can't see that working.

[cbmgolfer]

Hahahaha.... Perhaps the Russians should look outside and then consult the internet for the weather forecast in Thailand.

 

They would need tanks and bazookas at the airports to keep Russians from coming to Thailand....

[only_me]

Oh no the Russians will stop coming, how will we survive without them

[tony113]

All together now

[Ron Rat]

Good luck behaving like they do in Singapore. Or Malaysia for that matter. I would love to see the look on the face of Boris and Natasha when 2 beers each cost them 160 dollars.

Discussing how certain races behave is interesting and often there is a variety of approaches. The politically correct approach of ignoring racial differences and trying to treat all people the same is just delusional. Your judgement and negativity doesn't help man... particularly on a forum basically devoted to guys who like to come to Thailand to fuck cute slim young submissive sluts, who just wouldn't be as approachable and gf experience if they weren't Thai buddhist girls servicing men and their families financial needs. Why are you here?

[Jamba Man]

It always amazes me when a white man talks about what is and what isn't racist when racism is staring right in front of you.

 

When someone says they're glad that an individual of a certain race gets killed, in most worlds and realities, that's considered racially offensive.

Doesn't sound like anything more than an empty threat, lets see if they go through with it. It's not like Thailand's gonna get safer in a week.

must someone be white to be a racist?  what's your skin color/nationality?

 

Russian isn't a race last time I checked, but maybe I am wrong?

 

certain generalities and stereotypes are used here and elsewhere to describe the "typical" Indian or Russian tourist, they are generalities and stereotypes.   from my 4 trips over the last year to Pattaya,  they are pretty  accurate.  Of course there are many Indians and Russians who don't fit the stereotype...  but many who fit it to a T.  is this politically correct?  of course not.  neither is mongering.

 

being happy someone was injured or killed is an ugly hateful thing, and sometimes racist too.

I don't mind enjoying my trip to thailand with people from other nationalities or ethnicities, but I do absolutely hate it when the Russian mafiosos bring there nasty, fat, ugly, cabbage smelling whores around and try to market it next to Thai girls.  Plus all the other mafia violence and baggage that comes along with it.

 

If the Thai Government would just kick out all the nasty foriegn hookers, particularly the Russians and those nasty Nigerians (last time I was in Bangkok, one tried to grab my arm - Yuck!); I believe both Bangkok and Pattaya would not only be safer but also more prosperous.

 

Also kick out those irritating Indian/Pakistani suit salesmen that try to grab you as you pass by their shops while you are trying to get to the bars.  It's like look dude if your stuff was worth buying, you wouldn't need to try physically yank people off of the street to buy your stuff, they would come in themselves.

I for one would miss perving at the pretty blonde Russians on the beach

the suit salesmen are Thai nationals for the most part, would be hard pressed to kick them out... no pun intended, ha!

 

I just laugh at them, and point at myself and say "me?  a suit?  bwaahahahaha!"

 

if they continue to persist I ignore them.
