Thailand is getting awfully chummy with Russia, strengthening ties and whatnot. The Thai powers that be probably don’t want to rock that boat and decided to just get rid of them. Out of sight, out of mind, or something to that effect….

That does have a ring of truth to it.

It's quite possible Vladimir told his pals in the Russian embassy to have a diplomatic word with the head of Thai immigration.

This on international news.

A slightly different slant on the same story.

 

"A popular Russian-Belarussian rock band which opposes Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine has flown to Israel after facing threats of deportation in Thailand.

Bi-2 confirmed on their official Facebook page on Thursday they have left the country over fears they could be deported to Russia, where they have fallen out of favour with the regime after criticism of Mr Putin and his war in Ukraine.

“All musicians of the Bi-2 group have safely left Thailand and are heading to Tel Aviv,” read the post on Facebook. No further details were provided."

This looks far more plausible. I thought that when deported you had to be returned to your home nation. I'd guess they agreed to leave the country which was enough for the Immigration Dept (with appropriate donation to charity).

Russians never go in bars,  all cheap Charlies , Russian men with their Russian partners,  and finally take the rest of your Russian comrades back to where you belong,  it certainly isn't Thailand.   Farewell amigos  5555555
