My question, is. Why is Thailand offering free visas to anyone if Thailand are a neutral country?

  TAT? Care to answer?

A reciprocal agreement may be one reason. 

They want to be neutral, which means open for business with all. 

Somebody has got the big idea of flooding Phuket and Pattaya with Russians over the winter. So much for the effectiveness of sanctions.

Okay we know the Thai tourist board is going out of its way to encourage more Russian tourists IE  the 90 day visa to come to Thailand same Chinese

Tourists 

And lately in  Phuket and Pattaya the locals not happy with the Russians now causing problems jobs businesses Russian taking jobs over 🤑

It's going to get worse 

You Reap what you Sow  😱

 

 

Well the new Thai leader (Shrep) is embracing the Russians and their fine upstanding leader like the previous government did with the Chinese. With an influx of these suggested "quality" tourists other tourists will start looking for destinations elsewhere. 

Bi polar.A scary illness.

Might be that such a country gives Thai citizens free visas also, such things are often reciprocal.

Yaba is crystal (meth)

Actually a mixture of methamphetamine and caffeine.

Abuse of booze, stimulants or drugs by far to many westerners in Thailand, makes us all farangs look really bad in the eyes of the locals.

Send him back to Russia, they need more soldiers on the frontline.
