'Furious masturbators' flash Phuket expat motorist in midday moment of madness

Phuket Gazette

Keep an eye out for the recently sighted 'furious masturbators' of the jungle. If you get the urge, call the police.

PHUKET: -- An American expat has told of her shock at witnessing two men furiously masturbating by the side of the road in the Patong-Karon hills.

Long-term expat Amy Bensema, 36, was driving her motorbike home on August 19 when she spotted two naked “Asian-looking men” masturbating and shouting obscenities at passing cars and motorbikes.

The incident happened just after 4pm, a few meters before the corner where the Secret Cliff Resort is located. Ms Bensema had just finished work in Bang Tao and was en route home to Nai Harn.

She said there were lots of cars and motorbikes passing the men at the time and that at least 10 people must have witnessed the “shocking scene”.

“It was crazy. The men walked out of the jungle on the right-hand side of the road. They were naked and both were masturbating. As I got closer, I saw they were going at it furiously [sic] and one used his free hand to throw cans at cars,” she said.

As Ms Bensema got closer the men both shouted for her to “Come here”.

“They were wagging their tongues and making horrible faces at me,” she said.

“At that point I turned away, accelerated and didn't look back.”

Ms Bensema stopped at a construction site on the other side of the hill and told a security guard what had happened.

“He laughed, but then quickly apologized when he saw how upset I was. He told me to go to the police station to report the incident,” she said.

Ms Bensema stopped at a police box in Karon and then at Chalong Police Station to report the incident.

Chalong Police Sub-Inspector Sutham Sriprasom confirmed the incident was recorded and that a verbal complaint had been made. He urged members of the public to call the police if anyone witnesses a similar act.

“We are not looking for these people since it is not a big crime, but if we do catch these men then they will be charged with public obscenity and fined between 500 and 1,000 baht,” he said.

Ms Bensema, who has lived and worked on the island for more than five years, said she hoped the police could catch the men.

“It’s not safe to have people like that running around. I really hope that no one was walking up there, who knows what would have happened,” she said.

This is not the first time Ms Bensema has been the victim of “flashing” on Phuket.

“A similar incident happened to me in Nai Harn a few years ago. It’s crazy that people would do that in public. I think people should know that these things happen so they can stay safe and be careful when driving alone.”

If you witnessed the incident on August 19, or witness a similar crime, officers at Chalong Police Station can be contacted directly at 076-381247 or 191 for emergencies.

Wasn't me, I am rarely furious.

They were asian looking so i was thinking about you. Are you in country ?

I think these two guys were protesting furiously about wanting a general erection.

Wonder if it was the same guy that got caught doing the nasty with a dog under a tree there last year.

2 less than encouraging reactions from people in "authority", the security guard:

He laughed, but then quickly apologized when he saw how upset I was

And the police:

We are not looking for these people since it is not a big crime

Maybe the police are afraid that charges against them wouldn't 'stand up' in a court of law. Perhaps it could be too 'hard' to prove.

I'm sorry for Amy, a valued TV member, especially since none here seem to care.

Obviously drunk or off their heads on yaa baa or both but at least they weren't driving a bus..

Happened to my now ex-gf at Kata Beach last year. Also an Asian guy.

A lot of flag wavers go on to commit more serious sexual crimes.

So why were they furious? What made them so angry they had to masturbate??

Hey give the guys a break. This is not isloated to LOS. When I was working in Hungary a few years ago it was the ladies who stood on the side of the road showing their wares trying to get guys to stop.

thanks for that, stevenl.

it wasn't the worst thing i've ever experienced or seen, but it was pretty disgusting. and yes, you are right ... not too many here, and none on that day, seemed to care.

Amy, clearly you were upset by this encounter and I am not intending to make fun of your ordeal but this incident reminds me of a similar one in outback Queensland:

2 American tourists were driving into a remote town and passed two fellas shagging kangaroos, they found this most disturbing but worse was to come.

Rounding the last bend into town they passed a guy in a wheel chair who was masturbating. This was the final straw for the wife and she insisted her husband go straight to the police station to report these incidents. On giving his report the officer on duty said "I am so sorry you had to see this but please have some understanding, I am sure you would agree that it is unreasonable to expect a guy in a wheel chair to catch a kangaroo"

I'll get my coat

Oh Amy, I'm sorry. Please don't be too 'hard on' us. I guess because you're a long-term expat, we assume that you can take the situation in your own hands and decide what to to about it. However, I've got to say that I think the perpetrators are a couple of pricks.

lol. i'm not offended by anything that anyone has posted on here. i was displeased with the police on that day, though.

Now not even Thailand is a safe haven for "sexually sensitive" American women anymore!!!!

I'd say: time for a crackdown!

Maybe they were having a wank off comp , who was the winner?

A New HUB ...Personally i always did think Phuket had more than its fair share

Is this the same as the ham shank bars in Cowboy but alfresco style.......What a pair of 'W' anchors Love the news in LOS today

The suspects, when caught, should be invited (or forced?) to re-enact their offence.

Reminds me of the time I went into the toilets of a well known Rawai bar, and there was a guy playing with himself in a cubicle, door open.

'What do you think you're doing' says I.

'Playing cards' says the guy.

'You can't play cards like that' says I.

'You can with the hand I've got' says the guy.

'Ms Bensema stopped at a construction site on the other side of the hill and told a security guard what had happened.

“He laughed, but then quickly apologized when he saw how upset I was. He told me to go to the police station to report the incident,” she said.'

i wish someone had video of that conversation. does she know the Thai for jerking off (chack wow by the way) or did she have to mime it? either way, it would have been hilarious.
