Flight Delay at Phuket Ends in Return to Moscow

A Russian traveler’s abrupt halt in Phuket unfolded into a two-week chapter that ended with a quiet return to Moscow. Reports from Phuket Express recount a 14‑day pause in the life of a man who, for reasons tied to a missing departure, found himself stranded at Phuket International Airport. The sequence began in early September when the unnamed 38-year-old Russian man failed to board a return flight to his home city. The publication notes that he lacked the funds or means to secure another ticket or even obtain temporary lodging on the island, having exhausted his money during the vacation. In a surprising turn, the traveler spent the next fourteen days at the airport, while his mother worked nearby to assemble the resources needed to help her son resume his journey homeward.
