East Europeans in Asia

[davet]

I also posted this to the Asia forum, but what's the story with big blond hunky E. European guys posting ads in Asia? I've been watching one big Ukrainian guy who has been stuck in Bangkok for a year. I know of another Czech who moved to S.E. Asia. And when I was last in Bangkok, I saw several very porn-looking Euro boys (one of whom I could swear was Carlo Festa, but he would have been too old) walking through the night market. The Lady-Boys made a hilarious show bowing and kowtowing before these nordic gods.

I don't think these guys are on the usual global circuit. Some seem to have been based in Asia for an extended term. I suppose the cost of living is cheaper for these guys and the client base is presumably appreciative of their "exotic" attributes (turnabout for fair play).

Is there a special door into this scene, other than the usual pimp sites?

Don't forget that young Russian men have been leaving the Motherland to avoid conscription into the forces invading and occupying Ukraine. The occupation has also caused young Ukrainian men to seek "greener" $$ pastures as long as the war and occupation continue.

Well even before the war started, the phenomena of young Russians/Belarusians/ Ukrainians moving into southeast Asia was quite diffuse. The three main destinations were and I think still are Thailand (especially Pattaya), Vietnam (especially Nha Trang) and Indonesia( mostly Bali)Some of them actually moved over there legally and acquire job permits (the easiest is in Vietnam where lots of them end up being, believe it or not, English teachers). Some, just overstay their tourist period. I guess the police doesn't bother them as much as immigrants from the other SE Asian countries. It's true that lots of them, both females and males, end up engaging in prostitution and actually some of them resort to plain begging on the streets.

I think actually the war and the pandemic pushed the more educated and professional kind of people to move to SE Asia. The main factor as you said are weather and the low cost of living. I was in KL last month and was surprised to hear so many people speaking Russian around the city. Even the Airbnb tower I stayed at, was full of them.

Now if you're looking to find some of them engaging in transactional sex while visiting Asia, I would say Hornet is the place to start, as that is actually the most used app in Russian speaking countries, so even when they move, they still use that. Another alternative, if you really want to find them, is asking a local mb if they know any of them. they usually do, especially in those cities I mentioned above.

The Eastern Europeans (Russians/Bealrusians/Ukrainians) who have decided to enjoy the pleasures of Bali now have a pretty bad reputation on the "Island of the Gods."

My friends there recently staged protests of a planned Russian development of traditional village land and ricefields into a new tourist resort just south of Ubud.

And... there's also this article:

... Balinese authorities this week called for the end to Indonesia’s visa-on-arrival policy for citizens of Russia and Ukraine, citing a spate of alleged incidents involving misbehavior and various examples of visitors overstaying their visas and working illegally as hairdressers, unauthorized tour guides and taxi drivers. The move has been met with dismay by many Ukrainians on the island, who say that most of the incidents involve Russians and that they are being unfairly tarred with the same brush.

“Whenever we get reports about a foreigner behaving badly, it’s almost always Russian,” a local police officer in the town of Kuta told CNN, declining to be identified due to sensitivities surrounding the issue....
 

And this article:

... The once-welcoming Balinese people have had enough. Confronted with a barrage of complaints, the governor of Bali, Wayan Koster, announced earlier this month that he asked the Indonesian government to revoke Russia’s and Ukraine’s access to the country’s visa-on-arrival program.

He said many of those who have flocked to Bali to avoid the war have not only violated a number of local laws but have been illegally seeking jobs while on short-term tourist visas. (Obtaining a visa on arrival is usually instantaneous, requiring a $33 fee and no paperwork.)

It is an interesting market for them. Usually the rates for them are higher than Asian ones and they can easily charge what they can charge in most European cities because they are the rare ones in Asia. But the cost of living is really a few times cheaper than European cities and the weather is usually nicer. Plus they can enjoy the white privilege in their daily life so the life quality is better and their profit margin is probably higher as well...

One big hunky Czech boy I follow on social media was in Thailand with his crew of hotties several months ago. He posted lots of content that was really pushing the envelope of things you can do in public. It looked like he had some sort of accident while he was there - maybe he fell off a motorbike or something because he had a pretty bad road rash and spent some time in the hospital.

Details of content?

just a lot of nudity and very-near nudity in public places that could have gotten them into a good bit of trouble if they'd been caught
