Maybe the travel agents can help you with a ticket to Russian / East European destinations.

Take out a bunch of life insurance and go to the source, Moscow is the place. There is more action there then you can begin to imagine. When I went levi jeans and American smokes were almost as good as currency, After I stopped in Frankfurt on the way I had a bunch of sausages that were also a big hit. The times are wild and fast, just stay low and figure things out for yourself, taking on a 'guide" is a very bad idea.

Expect to see plenty more around in the next few years!>>>

Following marketing road shows to Russia and Poland showcasing the Andaman coastal provinces tourism products, Phuket Governor Nirund Kalayanamit concluded the road shows as fruitful. He also revealed the result from a trip to Russia’s Moscow, saying that TAT and Thai Airways International will join hands again in promoting the Andaman region. They are inviting 80 travel agents and media members to visit the region during June 10-15 this year. The Vice President of Phuket Tourist Association, Phuris Maswongsa explained that the Russians are a high spending group. He expects that in the next three years Russians will be Phuket’s main market. The tourism businesses also look into the Middle East and Indian markets to fill up rooms in the region’s low season during June – September.

Does this need cross referencing to the thread about LT prices? After all it sounds like they expect them to throw their money around - maybe the BG's had a tip-off & have adopted Russian pricing early

I've seen the Russians in Egypt (Hurghada) some years ago...
Never been there again, they kill the local price system

so I guess it'll be the same in Phuket

Yep Moscow is the place to go. Gawd there is more talent there than you can poke a stick at ( or something else for that matter) The Russian and East European girls you see in LOS are trailer trash compared to their sisters in Moscow.

But you are gonna need a nice fat wallet cause them little Russian dolls aint cheap cheap.

Moscow is the most expensive city in the world and the girls generally have a job and a certain amount of independence.

There are many other smaller cities that are much cheaper and lower standards of living than Moscow where there are plenty of stunners around who are looking for a farang BF or husband.

Rostov to the south is a good example.I saw some real stunners when i was there.

Unfortunately i couldn`t sample any of them as i had my stunner Ukranian GF with me at the time.

Agreed Moscow is expensive. P$P there would also have to be, on average, amongst the most expensive in the world too but the product is, IMHO of course, the best in the world too.

Yep know Rostov. Agree there are heaps of stunners all over the Eastern Bloc who are looking for wealthy or Western Husbands but I aint interested in that career path and the further you get from Moscow or St Petersberg the harder it is to play the P$P game and still come out alive at the end of it.

This trip I am also heading south down into the Caucasus to climb Mt Elbrus so it will interesting to see if there are any little snow bunnies down that way looking for some luving.
