Russians are one of the main tourists groups now in Pattaya. In high season they have charter flights direct to U-Tapao, completely by-passing BKK. Many are now buying condos here in same way as Brits, and Europeans have for years. With them come the usual Rusian hangers on (remember the 2 working girls who were shot on Jomtien beach last year by Thai mafia who didn,t want any competition?). I've seen more younger Russian guys lately, but yet to be chased by one
