Thailand welcomes Russian refugees

March 15, 2023

According to government spokesman Rachada Dhnadirek, the contents of the pact align with extradition agreements Thailand has with other nations, which will strengthen cooperation to combat crime.

Since the extradition agreement has no impact on Thailand's territory, economy, society, or commerce and investment, she argued, Parliament does not need to approve it.

Since the invasion in February of last year, tens of thousands of Russians have traveled to Thailand in an effort to evade conscription and the economic effects of the war with Ukraine, according to Al Jazeera. 

According to data revealing that roughly 40% of condos sold to international buyers in Phuket last year were purchased by Russians, it claims that many people are hoping to relocate permanently to the Kingdom.
