The body of the young Thai woman killed in the Itaewon crush will be returned to Bangkok on Friday, and her father will take her home to Phetchabun province.
Natthicha Makaew, 27, was one of 156 people who died during the crowd crush in a narrow alley in Itaewon district of Seoul on Saturday night while celebrating Halloween in the South Korean capital.
The South Korean government has declared Itaewon a special disaster area to give authorities full access and give financial support to the families of the victims.
The government will disburse 20 million won (532,000 baht) in compensation to each family and another 15 million (400,000 baht) for transport and other expenses, according to the embassy.
Natthicha's father, Sakhon, would meet the flight in Bangkok and take his daughter back to her home in Lom Sak district, Phetchabun.
Natthicha had been studying the Korean language in Seoul for two months. She earlier graduated from Mahasarakham University.
