Thana was accused of stabbing his long-time foe, Nopparit Maneechote, 35, to death at 11 pm on Augusts 24 2002.
Earlier, police could not trace Thana but he recently posted his photos visiting his mother in Chayaphum, allowing police to plan his arrest.
Pol Maj Thanaprom Thana-arphakorn, an inspector of Metropolitan Police Division 8, said Thana had recently created a Facebook account.
He has recently uploaded his self-portraits on the Facebook wall when he visited his mother for the first time. When he visited his mother again and updated his latest developments on the Facebook wall, police could track him and arrest him on the bus.
