I think the Korean woman was just doing with all the Thai people do when they get to Korea if they rounded up all the Thai people that are staying or working in Korea people would be shocked TIT

The arrest came after Ms. Kim had allegedly stolen a car, bag, and watch worth 5,300,000 baht from her close male friend identified only as Mr. Lee, a South Korean national. Police were made aware of the incident from Mr. Lee while he was also being detained for overstaying, although the exact number of days of his overstay was not released.

 

So she was only caught after being dobbed in by the ex?

Great work immigration.
