What are the requirements for self-transfer passengers in Bangkok if they have a layover with separate tickets?

I don't think this group is for travel tips/advice. But here is a bit of tip.

First of all, you need to check BOTH airlines to see if you can do 'through-check-in" for your whole itinerary. Many airlines do provide those services, even your tickets are separately purchased and both airlines are NOT in the same alliance. If you can do through-check-in, talk with the airlines again to see if you need to pick up your luggage at BKK or not. The best is you check both airlines through the support channel, AND check both about your luggage pickup with Bangkok contacts of both airlines. (Because the worldwide support doesn't always know about detailed operations at each airport).

If you still need to go through passport control at BKK, you don't need a visa but you definitely need Thailand Pass. And you may need to book ASQ/SHA+. Since Russia is not among the countries eligible for the Test&Go program, to see how long you need to expect before you can back to the departure area (or if and how you can just go back to the check-in counter immediately), you need to contact Thaipass contact or other Thai government channels.

This is as much information as we can give you here. You have to seek further information by yourself if you need more.

...what is your thoughts on this subject? My concern is without a Thailand Pass he will not be able to check in for his flights. I think he will need a transit visa and Thailand Pass along with other requirements.
