Russia and Kazakhstan 90 day visa free entry should be cancelled. They should apply for visa before entering Thailand.

This is just down the road from me, very large operation, dozens of quality cars for rent obviously making plenty of money, I pass it everyday. Serves them right.

So Stephan has a work permit, but the other two don't. I would be interested how Mr. S. got his permit to work.

To be fair, this news was published in a main newspaper that cannot be linked, which listed many foreigners found to be on overstay and/or working illegally in Phuket. Part of the increased checks after the Swiss guy incident. In addition to the three russians mentioned here, the list included plenty of other nationalities including Brits and many others. But they are less interesting apparently.
