Thailand’s deputy head of immigration, Phanthana Nutchanath, said that despite the massive influx of Russian tourists into the country, the information about the appearance of a “Russian mafia” in the country is exaggerated. She talked about it in an interview. Bangkok Post.
“Despite the influx, there is no indication that Russian criminals have infiltrated the country. “Most of the legal issues with Russian citizens in Thailand are minor offenses like traffic violations,” he said.
He noted that officials in the country’s resort areas did not observe Russians who could pose a threat to Thailand’s national security.
According to him, most Russians who come to the country “prefer wealthy vacationers and coastal provinces.”
