This Russian guy is delighted to hear that from tomorrow he can fly directly into Phuket and see his lady????, plus do a bit of diving????.

It's just a bit of fun, so please don't take it seriously.????????????????????

Push PLAY. That is the little triangle.

[ThaiCelt]

Quite funny

Russia actually qualifies both in terms of bilateral visa exception & 'low risk' country so not sure why no flights yet taking off? Russia is always winter in most of the country so should be the right season too ???? Perhaps it's the no alcohol, no bars, high cost minor problem? Hah! Or not enough sputnik vaccines?

The east either freezing cold or f... hot with trillions of mosquitoes.

High for Novosibirsk next week about 32 C (90 F).

 

And why should typical tourists come to Phuket in northern hemisphere summer?

Plenty of near and cheap destinations in Europe, USA e.g.

 

Funny video. What a happy guy.

Well let's wait for the hangover next morning.

Not sure whether I got you right?

But plenty of European countries are on the OK to come list for the sandbox.

Perhaps Russian airlines have calculated that they would make a loss scheduling flights to Phuket, given the low passenger numbers.
