The three told police that they promised to pay Nan Bt3,400 each to drive them back to Myanmar in her pick-up truck.

Thitiwat said the four had sneaked across the border into Chiang Rai&rsquo;s Mae Sai district.

Nan had allegedly sneaked into Thailand on her own and had been helping undocumented Myanmar migrants return to Myanmar, while the other three had allegedly sneaked in three months ago and wanted to return to Myanmar after working for three months, Thitiwat said.
