A naked Thai man turned himself in at a police station yesterday and confessed to committing an obscene act after walking around naked in the northeastern province of Khon Kaen. The man was reportedly under the influence of drugs.

 

Locals in the Mueang district of Khon Kaen recorded videos of a Thai man walking around the town naked and shared them on social media. He was seen holding an empty bottle of drinking water and walking on the footpath. There were pictures of him climbing onto a large model dinosaur in the public park and sitting on its back.

Many netizens found this action funny as he did not hurt any locals. Many asked what made him take off his clothes and walk in the sun at noon. Others wondered how he climbed the tall dinosaur statue.

 

Channel 3 later reported that the man went straight to Mueang Khon Kaen Police Station and asked them to arrest him. The man appeared in front of the canteen at the police station, causing shock and confusion among police officers and vendors.

I am guessing ecstasy...

Driving into Buriram every day I saw a guy every month or so, stood out in the rice fields (where Robinsons now stands) a guy completely naked sort of rinsing himself down near a stream. This didn't seem to bother anybody. I occasionally still see him, fully clothed, near a 7-11 and give him some money, he just buys water and some food. 

I mean, so what?... concerning the headline here, .... this is Thailand.

You appear to feel a lot of disdain towards many things Thai.

 

Why bother?

There's surely a fundamental difference between a, seems to be, homeless man washing in a stream in a field and a naked drugged up man walking naked down the high street.

You again? Really on my case aren't you? Of course there's a difference, I never said there wasn't. The post just reminded me of this fact. I truly hope that you are still in Leeds, which I know well, you deserve it.

You compared your experience to the topic of this post. I then asked a question. No need for any outburst, especially as you seem to have mistaken me for someone else.

 

I've never been to Leeds.

'Turned himself in'

 

Is this a euphemisn for concealing a part of his anatomy to prevent attracting concerned citizens?

Nah ecstasy doesnt induce this kind of behavior.

 

Its almost certainly meth; yaa baa or ice being my guess.

In this cold weather it won't take much concealing.

I don't know, they haven't shown photos of the fundamental differences.

They were shocked he wasn't a foreigner so they laughed and sent him back home to put his clothes on. 

No harm, no foul!
