Authorities revealed that Prasit, a thin-built individual, struggled to communicate clearly during questioning, only stating that his clothes had been stolen. Earlier in the morning, a Chachoengsao City Municipality worker noticed Prasit sitting on a bench outside a women’s toilet. Upon returning, the worker found him undressed and alone, causing concerned park visitors, including children, to distance themselves.

Regular park visitor Chaiyachet, age 51, informed police that he had seen Prasit frequently in the park, usually clothed and calmly walking around. Chaiyachet noted that a local vendor had earlier observed Prasit wearing only a shirt and one shoe, speculating whether Prasit's unusual behavior was due to intoxication or heat. Police have taken Prasit to Mueang Chachoengsao Police Station and are attempting to contact his relatives.

If his relatives cannot be reached, Prasit will undergo a mental health assessment and treatment at Sothon Hospital. This procedure aims to determine any underlying issues or needs for Prasit's welfare and safety, reported The Thaiger.
