Police arrested an Israeli man accused of the armed robbery of a house in Israel as he was boarding a flight at Koh Samui international airport.
Osher Farhi, 22, was arrested on Sunday. Police did not say where the flight he was boarding was headed.
The Israeli embassy gave information to Thai police on Sept 15 and asked that they track down and arrest a fugitive.
Mr Farhi and two other Israelis allegedly robbed a house in Israel, threatening the owner with guns. They took jewellery, a passport and a laptop from the house, according to the charges. Mr Farhi had a prior criminal record, including selling drugs and violence, police said.
Police tracked a signal from the stolen laptop, which led them to the suspect on Koh Samui.
The suspect had checked in to a hotel at Chaweng beach on Koh Samui, but a police search revealed he was not staying there.
On Oct 27, police learned that Mr Farhi had booked a seat on a flight departing Koh Samui on Sunday, leading to his arrest at the airport.
Police cancelled his visa and he will be deported to Israel for prosecution.
