Air Conditioning Technician Arrested for Indecent Exposure in Front of Former Miss Universe While She Jogged
A 31-year-old air conditioning technician was arrested in Nonthaburi after exposing himself to a former Miss Universe Thailand while she jogged on May 4, confessing to the indecent act and admitting to similar previous offenses.
On May 14, 2025, Rattanadhiloset Police Station officers arrested 31-year-old air conditioning technician Surasit for committing an indecent act by exposing himself on a motorcycle in public. He was apprehended at a grocery store on Rattanadhiloset Soi 22 in Bangkok Noi District, Nonthaburi Province.
The case began when 49-year-old Warinthon Phadungvithee, a former Miss Universe Thailand, filed a report on May 6, 2025, stating that on May 4 at approximately 7:30-7:50 a.m., while jogging with her boyfriend on Nonthaburi Soi 46, a Thai man wearing a black sleeveless shirt and patterned shorts on a black Honda Scoopy motorcycle pulled up beside her and exposed himself. When she turned away and informed her companion, the suspect fled.
Police reviewed CCTV footage and identified the suspect as Surasit. Upon interrogation, he confessed that he acted on impulse after seeing the woman because his wife is seven months pregnant. He admitted to committing similar offenses two to three times previously in Nakhon Sawan Province.
Police discovered Surasit had a prior indecent exposure conviction from March 21, 2022, at Suwannaram Park in Nakhon Sawan, and a separate home invasion case in 2016. He was charged with indecent exposure in public and fined 10,000 baht before being released.
