Overstaying Russian Arrested After Hiding in Koh Phangan Temple

A 30-year-old Russian man, Maksim Abroskin, was arrested on Koh Phangan after overstaying his Thai tourist visa by 194 days. Having lived in Wat Sri Thanu temple for over eight months, Abroskin survived on donations and raised concerns among locals, prompting a report to authorities. Immigration officials confirmed his illegal stay during a raid led by Surat Thani’s governor. Now in custody, Abroskin faces deportation and legal action. The case underscores Thailand’s firm stance on visa compliance, especially in tourist hubs like Koh Phangan, and highlights the role of community cooperation in immigration enforcement.
