shouldn't have an issue getting in by air, they could ask you for proof of 10K baht in cash, proof of onward travel in 30 days and proof of lodging

BUT you should be able to exit/re-enter and get a new 30 day stamp

that is not correct, starting on the 1st of May Russianz only get 60 days NOT 90 days like they got before

The cabinet on Tuesday approved a 60-day visa exemption for Russian visitors, to take effect from May 1 to July 31.
