Thousands of Russians stuck in Thailand

BANGKOK, 13 March 2022, (TON): The Associated Press reported “6,500 Russians are stuck in four provinces and cities of Thailand as tourists grapple with fewer airline options to head back home and sanctions that have affected their access to financial services.”

Tourism Authority of Thailand governor Yuthasak Supasorn told the newswire that 6,500 Russians were stranded in Pattaya city and the provinces of Surat Thani, Krabi and Phuket.

One thousand Ukrainians are also stuck in Thailand.

One volunteer translator told media “because credit card co-mpanies like Visa and Ma-stercard have blocked Russian banks from their networks, Russians have been unable to pay their bills while abroad.”

Yuthasak told the news outlet that officials were trying to work with Russians to help them find flights back home given restricted travel access to Russia.

“There are some airlines that still fly to Russia, but travelers have to transit in another country. We are trying to coordinate and search the flights for them.”
