Wansin Bunklang left a tour group hoping to find work in South Korea, and now his family waits for his body to be returned home. The pledge was given after a 40-year-old man from Buri Ram took his own life on Feb 8 in South Korea where he was working illegally. The couple flew to South Korea as tourists on Dec 11. Ms Om said she and her husband wanted to work in South Korea to save up some money to build a house. The jobseekers were told to buy package tours and they would be picked up by the brokers once they arrived in South Korea.
