An elderly Thai man apologised for his disgraceful conduct after proposing to grope a cosmetics store employee in Udon Thani.

 

Security footage captured the unsettling incident where the 72-year-old entered the Kut Chap sub-district shop barefooted and made his inappropriate request. Approaching the cashier, he brazenly asked, “Can I touch your breasts? It will give me energy.” Ignoring her refusal, he attempted to reach out, forcing the woman to defend herself with a feather duster.

 

Despite being chased away, the man persisted, moving behind the counter and pushing the victim to call for backup. He reluctantly retreated only after a colleague threatened police intervention. Before leaving, he taunted them, claiming authorities rarely answered emergency calls.

 

Channel 3 confronted the man, who blamed intoxication for his actions and issued a public apology. However, locals revealed this isn’t his first offence, noting previous incidents of harassment involving food vendors and others, reported The Thaiger.

 

Community members described him as a pleasant individual when sober but a troublesome menace under the influence of alcohol. They urged that government agencies intervene with a mental health evaluation and preventive measures to curb his lewd behaviour.
