The owner of a coffee shop in the central province of Lopburi condemned a pervy Thai man for using the cafe’s free WiFi to watch pornography and harass female customers. He reportedly spent long periods at the cafe without buying anything.

 

The cafe owner shared a video of the man in a Facebook group for Lopburi residents on September 5. The man in the video appeared to be between 50 and 60 years old, dressed entirely in dark blue clothing. In the footage, he was seen watching porn on his mobile phone while inside the cafe.

 

“Warning for everyone! I don’t mean to cause harm but what happened is completely inappropriate. It occurred today (September 5) at around 3pm. This man comes to the cafe every day for the free WiFi and never buys anything.

 

“I hadn’t noticed him until today. He stayed for a very long time and there were many children present. This is a public place and our cafe is also located within a temple area. I have already warned him about his behaviour.”

 

The owner shared another video showing her approaching the man and instructing him not to repeat his actions. She also noted that most of her customers were university students and children.

 

 

 

 

According to the cafe owner, the man claimed that he did not intend to watch pornography in public. He said he scrolled through his social media feed and accidentally came across the video, which he then watched. The owner added that the man bought a drink for the first time on the day he was caught.

 

The owner later revealed to Channel 7 that the man not only watched porn in the cafe but also sexually harassed female customers by staring at them.

 

Many women in the comments section shared that they encountered this man before in other coffee shops in the area, although they did not provide specific details about his behaviour.

 

The owner decided not to take legal action against the man but expressed hope that he would not repeat his actions, either in her cafe or elsewhere.

What is the problem? A bar is free an if they give free internet it is up to them. That the man did not spend anything should be told by the man in charge that consumptions are obliged or leave. But he did not do that. Policy should be changed, but you can't control what people ae doing on their cellphone

Harassed is it? Was he licking his eyebrows while "staring"? Seems LOS is going western full wokeness. He might just think they are pretty, but in the fevered minds of the easily offended he was imagining naughty things. If they didn't like it they should have just complained to the manager, and personally accosting him was dumb, IMO.

Anyway, if he's sitting looking at the vegetation were the females lurking in the undergrowth for him to stare at them? Sounds to me he just looked at them on the way in, as most men will.

 

I don't care what he watched, most on the internet is rubbish anyway, but he's stupid for sitting where people can see what he is looking at.

 

Of course he was wrong for not buying anything- it's a business, not a charity for lonely old men, but that could have easily been dealt with politely by the manager.

Ah, I missed that before. A female owner- explains all.

No

Nobody cares if you watch porn.

The problem is he didn't buy anything.

This story is blown out of proportion for clicks and views and $$$$ ch-ching 

 

Actually, having porn on your device in a public place is not "wokeness". It's rude. Do you want to hear moaning on a cell phone next to you while having a coffee in a coffee shop?

The story was more about the "staring" than the not buying.

How do you know the sound was on? Were you sitting next to him? Phones come with a handy function to not sound loud enough so other people could hear, or perhaps he had an earphone in. My 20 year old mobile has one of those.

Valid point...   

 

There are some messenger 'groups' I'm in, such as LINE Messenger for our football team etc....   and I don't open the posts on the BTS (for example) as one of the lads is bound to have posted something dodgy...

I accept he was probably looking at something to do with women, but was it porn? These silly days even Playboy centerfolds were classified as "porn" by the wokistas.

Porn is actually banned in Thailand, so it could just have been a bit of erotica, and the easily offended assumed it was porn- if he had a pillow on his lap it might help their case, but if not, likely they are talking rubbish.

As isolated behavior perhaps...  but he was also...

.. leering at girls and women, which can be an act of sexual harassment.

.. This was not a one off, he was noticed in 'other cafes' behaving the same. 

 

I suspect the behavior was more an issue than what he was watching, but perhaps the what he was watching was the final straw.

Erm... thats a bit naive, even though porn is officially banned in Thailand, so are many thing, gambling etc... yet porn is as rife and accessible here as it is anywhere else... Even guys in Thai Parliament have been caught watching porn !!!.. 

 

I'm not sure what you are getting at with the pillow.

 

 

---------

 

Perhaps this is a storm in a tea-cup and the cafe owner over-reacted and is rather woke, as you pointed out... Or, this is an issue of concern and young girls in the area are at risk...  

...  Had the news been different and his guy sexually assaults a young student on her way home from the cafe... many would argue that the warning signals were there and why did no one do something about this... 

 

Its kind of a no-win situation - but it seems the cafe owner did the right thing, she wants to protect the other customers and she has every right to, its her own shop.

 

 

 

 

 

As porn is forbidden in Thailand, you can't have access to "youporn" and similar websites.

So it's quite obvious he didn't watch porn.

All rubbish👍

Not buying anything but using up lots of tissues.

Best to download all the porn you can. Judging by the general climate it'll all be made illegal in the not too distant future. England already introduced some age check provision, Denmark and even Holland changed their laws. Feminist in the white house soon maybe, and they all hate porn.

 

I'm not taking any chances, everything's going to hard drive.

So be a manager and ask him to leave.

What legal action can she take anyway? There is no law about looking at a woman? Nor is there any law about using free wifi. 

Change the password !!!

Got a few foreigners in Pattaya doing the same thing.

How do we know that he was actually "leering"- we only have her word for it.

Did he get banned in the other cafes? Were the police called? How many times was he "noticed" in other cafe's? The OP doesn't answer any of those relevant questions.

 

Sounds like LOS is going down the perpetually offended route as already entrenched in western countries, IMO.

555... Why is this even news

Are you a woman? As a woman, have you ever been stared at by a man in a public place? Didn’t think so. I’m not a woman either, therefore I’m willing to listen to a woman if she says she’s been made to feel uncomfortable or threatened, and I’ll take her word for it. Myself not having a clue what it’s like being a woman. Meantime, please take your indignation and faux “male privilege” elsewhere.

Your friends at Project 2025 want to criminalize porn.

what?, he is conducting an illegal act (porn is illegal in thailand duh!) in a public place.    best thing to do is humiliate the guy in public (as they have done)  i dont give a shlt if u watch porn but have the decency to watch at home in private.

Maybe they should do a knock one out charge with a two minute time slot 🤣🤣

watch pornography

I couldn't think of anything worse, how is it possible to sit in a public place and watch porn. 

 

You need to watch porn in the bedroom with a beautiful naked woman. 

 

Too many weirdo, Sick people in the world. 

 

Sounds like modern journalism done by an dumb influencer

 

Oh he is watching porn, wow he is harassing women,

Think of the children
