More than 7,000 Russian tourists are currently stuck in Thailand according to an estimate released March 22, 2022, by the Southeast Asian nation’s tourism authority. Thai officials said many of the Russians are struggling with cancelled flights, payment issues and currency exchange problems related to Western sanctions targeting their homeland over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine. Thailand’s government says it has proposed several alternative ways of getting stranded Russians home, including arranging repatriation flights or using airlines which have not yet suspended service to Russia.
