Russians in Pattaya accused of not paying their bill at a restaurant

In Thailand's social media, information is spreading about an incident that occurred in Pattaya, where two Russians are accused of not paying a bill at a local establishment. A photo of the two men has appeared, with a warning below it: "Beware of these two Russians. They drink and don't want to pay. They're not afraid of the police. Be careful." According to eyewitnesses, the young men repeatedly ordered beer and snacks. When it was time to pay the bill, one of the men pretended to have left the money in a self-service box, which was later found to be empty. The establishment owners called the police. According to available information, the officers who arrived on the scene left, considering the amount owed to be insignificant. After that, the Russians left the establishment. The outraged Thais began to spread their photos on social media. It's worth noting that an unpaid bill at a cafe or restaurant in Thailand can have serious consequences for foreign citizens. This can include detention, arrest, trial, possible imprisonment or fine, deportation, and being put on a blacklist for a long time, up to 99 years. Even if it's a small amount, allegedly up to 1000 baht for beer, the consequences can be significant for further stay in the country.
