Ubon Ratchathani—
On December 8th, 2023, Muang Ubon Ratchathani police received a complaint from a grocery store owner that a foreigner allegedly made a mess in front of their store by urinating and defecating before driving his pickup truck off in Mueang Ubon Ratchathani.
The shop’s CCTV captured the moment when a pickup truck had stopped in front of a grocery store and one of the unidentified foreigners walked somewhere else with a woman while another foreigner stepped out of the vehicle to urinate and defecate in front of the store.
Ms. Chuenjit Suesatdamrongkit, a 40-year-old grocery store owner, stated her reason for filing a complaint to the police officers was that she wanted the suspect, who allegedly made a mess in front of her store, to be aware of his actions.
Chuenjit voiced her opinion that the suspect might not be highly intoxicated as he looked back and front to see if anyone witnessed him urinate. Chuenjit reportedly would like to warn the foreigner about inappropriateness in Thailand.
Initially, Muang Ubon Ratchathani police officers received the CCTV footage and pledged to investigate further to hold the suspect accountable for the Public Health Act.
