From how little he looks next to the car & Thais, I'm guessing he was rolled-up in the spare tire well.

True he said he had come to to study Thai and work as tour guide, nothing to say he actually was, but he was already black listed and entered illegally. 

He needs prison time, not just sent back.

Er, I read it several times, and you could have copied and pasted it. Vietnam doesn't border Thailand. He paid the trafficker where? In Vietnam, or Cambodia? Was he illegally in Cambodia too? Where does it mention that? You've wasted your time.

He could have easily entered Cambodia legally why not?

So why not fly straight there then? And he was unable to provide the police with any documents (passport, ID)? How'd he get into Vietnam? Or out? Or into Cambodia? Or hire a car in Thailand? All this for 20k?

 

This is just another mumbo jumbo story.

Probably they got the most honest, trying to make money by working hard, like a classic rural Chinese.

 

Chinese criminals do quite other things, and I'm sure the Thai authorities are well aware of that.
