A flight attendant popular on Instagram was caught inserting herself into stolen photos

Stealing other people's photos and pretending they're your own is always a bad idea, especially when doing it online. After all, sooner or later someone will call you to account for this. This is exactly what happened to Thai flight attendant Louktarn Tichey, who had to delete her popular Instagram account along with 150 thousand subscribers after people noticed that she photoshopped herself into stolen other people's photos without indicating the authorship of the original pictures.

Tichy's deception was revealed when other users of the social network began to post her pictures next to the original photos found on the Internet. One of the images used by the Thai pseudo-stewardess actually belongs to the Finnish landscape photographer Tiina Termenen. The Finnish Embassy in Bangkok could not resist making a joke about this topic on its official Facebook page. "The Northern Lights in Finland are so beautiful that many people dream of seeing it firsthand..." they wrote, adding a link about Tichi's antics. Ticha responded by deleting the stolen images, and since then her Instagram account has sunk into oblivion.
