Lots of Russian money (maybe mafia money, but not sure) has poured into Thailand in various businesses, condos, and real estate. And many Russians are getting work permits from these businesses. And sometimes, they employ illegal Russians in management roles and Myanmar people in low-skilled labor jobs.

I'm sure he won't mind the change of clothing from casual to camouflage.

There will plenty more like him working illegally 

Maybe the Thai people employing  them should do some jail time as a reminder to others 

But no doubt money talks 🤑
