According to local media outlet Bangkok Post on the 29th (local time), Thai Ambassador to South Korea Tani Sangrat was a passenger on Jeju Air Flight 7C2216 when the accident occurred.
The two women, a 45-year-old Thai woman A and a 22-year-old Thai woman B, were killed in the accident. Ambassador Sangrat said, "I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives or were injured in this unfortunate accident.
According to local media outlet Matichon, Mr. A was a former member of Udon Thani in northeastern Thailand, and moved to South Korea for work about seven years ago.
A married a man and lived in Korea. She visited her hometown once a year, and earlier this month she went to Thailand with her husband, traveled to Chiang Mai and visited her hometown.
After that, her husband returned to Korea on the 14th, and Ms. A traveled to northern Thailand before boarding a plane in the early hours of the same day. Ms. A's father told the media that her daughter, the body, had returned to her hometown.
She cried, saying she wanted to see her daughter's face one last time when she returned. Ms. B was a fourth-year university student in Bangkok who had married a Korean and was reported to have died on the plane that day to visit her mother who lives in Korea.
Meanwhile, on the 30th, the day after the Jeju Air passenger plane crash at Muan International Airport, the identities of 141 of the 179 people killed were confirmed.
Accident response authorities, including the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, "The bodies of all 179 people who died have been moved to a temporary morgue."
"Once the autopsy has been completed by the investigating authorities and preparations for the body to be handed over are complete, we plan to contact the family."
