In a surprising turn of events, shoppers at a Phuket market were greeted by an unexpected sight yesterday morning as a naked man casually wandered the bustling streets in the Tha Ruea area. The incident unfolded near a fresh market and the Bangkok Bank branch, sparking discussions among startled onlookers.

 

The man, appearing to be between 25 and 30 years old, walked uninhibited in the direction of the Heroines Monument. Sa, a local vendor, recounted, "He didn’t cause any trouble, just walked as if nothing was amiss." Witnesses noted the man was clean and groomed, though his peculiar behaviour prompted concerns over his mental health or possible intoxication.

 

The village headman, Noppharit Rungruang, along with local security and police from Thalang Station, responded swiftly to the scene. They encountered the man walking against traffic, still nude and incoherent. An officer stated, "He couldn’t tell us his name. We suspect intoxication or mental issues."

 

 

 

Believed to be a middle-aged Myanmar national, his identity remains unconfirmed. Police detained the man without trouble, escorting him to Thalang Police Station for further investigation. Authorities are diligently working to contact his employer and verify his immigration status before proceeding with any legal or medical measures.

 

Local social media buzzed with mixed reactions—concern for the man's health and shock at the public nudity. Police have urged the public to report similar incidents and affirmed they are handling the case with proper care, prioritising the man’s well-being while probing for any additional needs, reported The Thaiger.

Paid in advance when he deposited his clothes for washing.

Glad you insisted on that point.

Might be important later.

Sure glad they are willing to help him If they find out who his employer is. 

odd how much more sympathetic coverage is when it isn't a nekkid white fella

Maybe it's the strict policy of the laundry shop - pay in advance or no service.

Therefore he knows that the shop staff know he has already paid so they don't check for receipts.

 

I have a friend who runs 3 laundry shops in Pattaya, she insists 'pay in advance or no washing'.

 

(Why? Because in the past she's had big piles of completed laundry (not paid in advance) which were never collected, tourist has moved n, forgot to collect laundry etc.)

We have a joker in our area who does the same now and again. I have seen him twice in three years, just strolls beside the highway.

The wife says he has been doing it for years.

He must just stop taking his meds??

Nice to see someone wearing a suit, even if it's his birthday one.

The time is probably coming soon where folks will have an implant which can be used for multi purposes including ID and digital banking.

Then you're not really naked. The shoulder bag could probably be used to cover the jewels if needed.
