Siriyapron Nina Sujitra, the poster, recounted seeing the man and woman take various products before store staff intervened at the checkout.
The pair reportedly acknowledged being caught and offered to compensate for their stolen goods. Upon being apprehended, the woman filming the incident suggested the tourists should pay tenfold the merchandise's value and express sincere remorse.
