Khiew was on his way to deliver food supplies to Chavalit on Wednesday morning when he was arrested.
Chavalit escaped from Nakhon Si Thammarat Hospital in the early hours of October 22 after apparently faking an illness.
He was not due for release until 2043.
Chavalit is also wanted for narcotics trafficking, money laundering and murder but has reportedly evaded these cases thanks to help from a powerful Phatthalung politician.
Police have arrested seven people who allegedly helped Chavalit escape while obtaining arrest warrants for two Nakhon Si Thammarat prison guards suspected of aiding his flight from justice.
Earlier, the Corrections Department offered a 10,000-baht reward for information leading to his recapture.
