In the charming city of Saraburi, nestled within Thailand’s central province, a most unusual scandal has erupted, leaving both locals and social media audiences bewildered. It all began with the highly inconvenient—and highly inappropriate—actions of an unidentified man outside a well-regarded diamond store. Owner Thanongsak, a respected 50-year-old entrepreneur, found himself in the middle of a bizarre saga that no jeweler should have to endure.
On what seemed like an ordinary Monday, May 12, Thanongsak arrived at his gem-laden store, only to be greeted by two unsavory piles of human excrement. The shock quickly transformed into a need for action, as Thanongsak took to the digital streets, sharing his ordeal with the local Facebook group aptly named “Saraburi.” His intention was clear—catch the culprit and address an act he deemed a slap in the face of civic decency.
Dodging the morning traffic, the surveillance footage revealed a curious sight. A white SUV casually pulled up on Sud Banthat 13 Road, close to a popular buffet haunt. From the passenger seat emerged a man who, without a moment’s hesitation, dropped trou—and well, you know what happens next. Incredibly, he proceeded to a second location to further his plight, leaving Thanongsak and his pristine pavement in disarray. The bizarre bathroom bandit even had the audacity to clean himself with tissue paper before resuming his passenger duties.
In a conversation with Hone Krasae, a local news program, Thanongsak lamented the mess left behind and explained his fruitless attempts to cover the evidence with tissue, all while praying for Mother Nature’s downpour to cleanse the affront. Adding more layers to this puzzling pie, he pointed out that a petrol station, equipped with functional restrooms, lay a mere 100 meters away. Why, he wondered, would anyone choose a public display over privacy? Some theorists in the ever-so-opinionated online community suggested the act might be a deliberate one, possibly borne from a past vendetta. Yet, when asked, Thanongsak denied any known feuds or conflicts that could justify such an indignity.
Under Thailand’s Cleanliness and Orderliness Maintenance Act, what this mysterious man did could land him a fine of up to 500 baht. But perhaps worse than any monetary penalty is the looming threat of public humiliation, especially since the foolhardy adventurer’s license plate was clearly captured in the video for all to see.
Saraburi isn’t alone in facing these odious outbursts. A similar scene unfolded in Udon Thani in October of the previous year. Like a tale out of a rather strange thriller, an unknown man desecrated a woman’s home front in a strikingly similar manner. Such recurrent incidences leave us pondering the peculiar psyche of public defecators and their knack for causing distress wherever they tread—or rather unload.
For now, Thanongsak remains determined and vigilant, optimistic that social media will triumph in his quest for justice and perhaps provide the town with a much-needed laugh along the way. As for the rogue defecator, may he find solace in cleaner and more private pastures.
Why on earth would someone do this outside a jewel store? It’s disgusting and disrespectful!
Maybe it’s a personal grudge? But that seems like such an extreme act!
I think some people just enjoy causing chaos. Who knows what’s going through their minds.
Personal grudge or not, doing it in public is just nasty. There must be better ways to settle scores.
The idea that someone would deliberately humiliate a business owner like this is just ridiculous.
Right? If you want attention, there are better, less offensive ways to get it.
People always turn to social media for help, but in reality, justice should come from authorities.
I agree, but sometimes social media can pressure authorities to act more swiftly.
True, but the right balance is needed. You can’t rely solely on online platforms for justice.
I’m surprised these incidents are apparently a trend. What’s wrong with people?
It’s probably more about the spectacle and shock value than anything else.
That makes sense, but it’s still hard to fathom why someone would stoop so low.
This incident is both gross and oddly fascinating. Human behavior never ceases to amaze me.
The act might be revolting, but it’s certainly effective for catching everyone’s attention. Not that I’d recommend it!
Just goes to show the lengths people will go to be noticed.
At least they used tissue paper to clean up! That’s the only positive I can see here.
The irony of being ‘considerate’ in such an inconsiderate act!
Maybe they just didn’t want to leave a bigger trace for authorities to track.
Thanongsak deserves better than to clean up somebody’s childish mess.
I don’t get why people are so obsessed with placing blame on society. Sometimes individuals just make stupid choices.
Absolutely, we don’t always need to find some deep societal reasoning. It was a dumb move, plain and simple!
Glad someone else thinks so. People’s actions aren’t always a reflection of broader societal issues.
It’s kind of funny though, picturing the absurdity of it all. Like a scene from a bad comedy film.
I feel bad for the guy having to clean that up. Some people have no shame.
Right? The least they could do was pick somewhere less troublesome. It’s just so ridiculous.
Maybe the fine should be more than 500 baht to really deter this kind of behavior.
Increasing the fine might help, but then again, it just depends on someone weighing the risk.
Sometimes I think people do this sort of stuff for the thrill of it. Like an adrenaline junkie but for bizarre behavior.
Such an act is embarrassing, but what’s even more embarrassing is the need for a public outcry for basic decency.
I can’t help but feel that the mystery pooper might be getting a kick out of all this attention.
Saraburi isn’t even the first place this has happened? That’s almost unbelievable!
By the way, have the authorities finally caught this guy? Surely they can track him down with the license plate.
