Bad idea.

I’m sure this isn’t the first one or the last one, but glad they stopped her. I’m sure since she’s Chinese it’ll be some misunderstanding 🤨

The Chinese government prosecutes people for crimes committed outside the country. Thai immigration may or may not prosecute but China will.

It seems to me the Chinese are the most untrustworthy race in SEA, even more than Thais.

The article doesn't say what nationality passport she was using.  Nor does it say what her travel plans were.  It could have been a "simple" attempt to use someone's passport to enter Thailand for a holiday, or it could have been an attempt to use Phuket/Thailand as a transit point to another country.  If she was attempting to travel on, perhaps to Europe, UK, USA, etc, then she might have presented a passport and, possibly, other documentation that might have gained her entry to that other country.  Chinese impostors, or "look - alikes" often use a passport of countries that don't require an entry visa for maybe the UK - Malaysian, Singaporean, South Korean, etc.  The problem they often have is that many of these impostors don't speak any language other than Chinese, whereas a Malaysian, etc for instance, would normally speak or understand a little English usually.  So  if they are asked questions by immigration, in English, or Malay, or whatever, then they drop themselves in the merde as they can't understand or answer. If that was the case with this lady, then she probably wasn't traveling alone, as she would normally have a "minder" to answer questions.  But, there again, she might just have borrowed a friend's passport to have a lovely holiday in Phuket.

It's where Thai's get it from, 

[NativeBob]

in their Chinese kibbutz there's a bunch of ready-to-go passports. Grab one and fly wherever you fancy. Nobody cares,

It was the second time IO actually applied that recognition technic to those particular tourists and found certain differences.

First years I got the similar problem with Thais.

Probably the fingerprint biometric scan didn't match the ID.

How come she was able to get on the plane in the first place?

That can be fixed too :
 

A Chinese woman managed to enter Japan illegally by having plastic surgery to alter her fingerprints, thus fooling immigration controls, police claim.

xxxxxxxxx, 27, had previously been deported from Japan for overstaying her visa. She was only discovered when she was arrested on separate charges.

Tokyo police said she had paid $15,000 (£9,000) to have the surgery in China.

It is Japan's first case of alleged biometric fraud, but police believe the practice may be widespread.

Japanese police suspect Chinese brokers of taking huge sums to modify fingerprints surgically.

Local media reports said Ms xxxxxxx had undergone surgery to swap the fingerprints from her right and left hands.

Skin patches on her thumbs and index fingers were removed and then re-grafted on to the matching digits of the opposite hand.

Japanese newspapers said police had noticed that Ms xxxxxxx's fingers had unnatural scars when she was arrested last month for allegedly faking a marriage to a Japanese man.

The apparent ability of illegal migration networks to break through hi-tech controls suggests that other countries who fingerprint visitors could be equally vulnerable - not least the United States, according to BBC Asia analyst xxxxxxxxxxxx

Female Imm. Officer in the photo (the boss) was the one who demanded  USDT from border runners via Whatsapp.

Made me buy return ticket to Russia in July on my 1st border run ever, after 1 night in Kuala Lumpur, but allowed to enter the country after seeing the Receipt and waiting 1h.
