  • Thailand: Russian Orthodox Church thrives in a Buddhist country
    2023/12/01

    As the number of Russian visitors in Thailand has soared in recent years, the Russian Orthodox Church has expanded rapidly. RFA’s Luna Pham speaks with priests about practicing in the mostly Buddhist country.


    Russia’s ties with East and Southeast Asia go back decades, and while those connections weakened with the end of the Cold War, they never disappeared. Now, with Russia’s increasing isolation following its invasion of Ukraine, the relationships have taken on greater significance.


    In Bear East, RFA examines, country-by-country, how those links have evolved in terms of the defense trade, as well as government, business and people-to-people ties. Read the complete series at https://en.rfa.org/BearEast.
