From that theNation article:

"More than 10,000 Thais have been arrested and deported from South Korea for overstaying their visa during the first nine months of this year, the Thai labour attache in Seoul has reported.
...
During the meeting, she was informed that up to September, there are 192,163 Thais living in South Korea and up to 128,520 of them were overstaying their visa.

Apart from the 10,337 who had been arrested and deported, 13,297 Thais reported to Korean officials to voluntarily return to Thailand."

That's like more than 65%, amazing numbers. Also amazing the number who want to return. Some might have made enough, but I fear most don't have the money for a ticket.
