Shocked villagers find hundreds of women's underwear hanging on clothesline in Thai forest

Shocked villagers found hundreds of pieces of women's underwear hanging on clotheslines in a forest in Thailand.

Residents were alerted to the bizarre sexual shrine after a local, Banlay Sukkrathok, 49, recorded the creepy scene on the outskirts of a village in Nakhon Ratchasima province on July 1.

Footage shows the undergarments hanging from long wooden poles used as makeshift clotheslines at a eucalyptus tree plantation just three kilometres from the nearest community.

Khonburi Police Station officers inspected the area and allegedly found signs that someone had been sleeping on the ground between the clotheslines.

However, they could only warn residents to be vigilant as no one had filed a complaint yet for underwear theft.

Banlay said he found the perverted sanctum from plantation workers who came across it while laying down traps for rats.

He said: 'I went to check if their claims were true, and was shocked to find hundreds of underwear hanging in that condition. I think a pervert might have stolen them and hung them out to dry, to admire, or to do perverted activities.

'Therefore, I recorded a clip to warn the villagers in the area to take good care of their valuables and protect their children. This pervert may commit violent acts or lure children to commit obscenity.'

Village headman Khinna Yodnakornjong said she has also broadcasted a warning through loudspeakers and social media for villagers to be careful.

In February, a prolific underwear thief who had been stealing thousands of pairs of women's underwear was caught in Bangkok after a 20-year crime spree.

Nattawut Songchai, 38, was busted when a female apartment tenant reported him for plucking her bras and panties she had hung out to dry on her balcony.

While in March 2023, yet another Thai pervert was arrested in Kamphaeng Phet province for stealing underwear, which he used to pleasure himself.

Ophas Chuenjit, 27, masturbated while sniffing the undergarments before decorating a bamboo thicket with the soiled items when he was done.
