Thai ‘con woman’ arrested in Korea, sent back to Bangkok

BANGKOK: A Thai woman accused of swindling more than 50 women out of thousands of baht with promises of well-paid jobs at massage spas overseas was arrested at Suvarnabhumi Airport on Friday night after being deported from South Korea.

Police then received court permission for an initial period of detention.

Methiya Jaenprachakorn, 25, who was wanted under an arrest warrant issued by the Criminal Court, reportedly confessed to police that she and some friends were duped in the same manner in 2012 - so she decided to do the same to others.

Pol Colonel Kornchai Khlaikhlueng, commander of the Anti-Human Trafficking Division, presented Methiya at a press conference yesterday.

She allegedly duped people on social media last year after telling them they would be sent for work - to Canada, Germany, South Korea and elsewhere - and charging them commission fees ranging from Bt10,000 to Bt30,000 per head, depending on the destination.

Once she received the money she disappeared.

Kornchai said police would now search for her accomplices. Methiya was wanted for four similar fraud cases and fled to South Korea, he said.

The authorities contacted their South Korean counterparts and asked them to arrest and deport her.

But something bad in life happens to you and you're mad, do you usually feel compelled to make sure you'd never do the same thing to someone else?

The complete lack of empathy is outstanding. Guess the reasoning that it happened to her is to garner sympathy.

There are now just to many scammers , I hope she gets a long prison sentence

Gullable people are every where , Massage jobs overseas really ! TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE , having the money 10k - 30k to spend up front , when a little 15 baht session on the internet looking at employment rules of the countries offered, so many quotes are applicable to this scam,

"Police then received court permission for an initial period of detention."

No photo, no pointing fingers..... methinks some money is on it's way, and the "suspect" will be released for "lack of evidence.

Ever notice how if the arrested person has no photo or is allowed to cover their face during photo session, that the news dies and we never hear of them again unless it is that they are released?

Agreed, that's what normal people would do, try not to let it happen to any others. However she obviously works under the philosophy that every cloud has a silver lining.

When she was presented to the media was she not ' encouraged ' to apologise for damaging the nation's reputation by having to be arrested in a foreign country and her crimes showing Thais in a bad light ?

Just as likely to be a complete fabrication - to try for a little sympathy . . .

.....such a pathetic excuse...........justifiable in her mind.......that is the problem.........

No worries.

She'll wind up in a re-education camp in Nakhon Nowhere where the family will educate her properly to say "Sick Buffalo, Sick Buffalo,Sick Buffalo,Sick Buffalo,Sick Buffalo,Sick Buffalo", and then be on her merry way to Pattaya or Phuket to continue her trade legally.

A dog that has turned into a fox after 8 large Chang beers.

He'll chew his own arm off instead of taking the chance of removing it from under her head the next morning...Might wake her up!

Yes, there sure are, Los Angeles, California. More Thai massage parlors then Bangkok has(just a guess). Just get a tourist visa and never come back, nobody checks on you, you disappear, home free, find an American gigilo get married and get your green card, what a great country!

Korea is one of the very few places a Thai can travel to without having to apply for a visa in advance.

That's EXACTLY how the chain of bars in the USA, called, "Coyote Ugly's" got it's name,,, Coyotes will chew off a limb caught in a trap,, The term for a girl looking that bad is, she's, "Coyote Ugly".,,, wink.png

That is Thai thinking. If one person does it it must be ok for me to do it too.

Is that how you keep the wife at home--by feeding disinformation like this to her? (Yes, those vacations to Mukdahan are pretty cheap.)

28 countries Thais can travel to without a visa...

Yes, I love the way Thais blame other countries for being too strict and 'looking down on Thai people'.

There's no looking down on Thai people. It all about risk and mutual benefit. You keep putting up with corrupt governments and this is what happens.

But something bad in life happens to you and you're mad, do you usually feel compelled to make sure you'd never do the same thing to someone else?

Actually she was just exhibiting the behavior that she and others have learned from her LOS government.that is to screw the next person in line as has your leaders have been showing you.

I'm confident she's not guily. I mean, no Thai would have the heart to do something like this.
