With it being stated officially that this bust was tipped to them by the US, it's entirely possible that she was greencarded to transit through there with tacit compliance from the Malay authorities

Came across this : The Little-Known Bolivia-Asia Drug Route.

InSight Crime Analysis
The recent seizure of Thailand-bound cocaine on a Bolivian plane suggests drug organizations are have returned to smuggling via commercial airlines after travel restrictions disrupted operations in 2020. It is also another indication that harsh drug policies and the threat of capital punishment do not seem to discourage drug trafficking to Asia, which has emerged as a booming market.

Latin American drug traffickers have been expanding into Asian markets for years. The Bolivia to Asia trajectory has thus far been considered a secondary cocaine trafficking route. But traffic patterns may be changing as organized crime syndicates continue to set their sights on South East Asia, where there is a rising demand for cocaine among the upper class. A 2016 United Nations report found cocaine seizures in Asia tripled over the last decade.

Notably, many of the arrests and drug seizures coming out of Bolivia destined for Asia have been bound for Thailand. While Thailand was declared "free of illicit crops" in 2002, neither its crop substitution programs nor its country’s zero-tolerance drug policies have eliminated illicit drugs. And the country has remained an important transit point for drugs headed to Asian markets.

Possibly but cocaine is popular among young well-heeled Cambodians and Thais.

Where does that assumption come from ?
