The Legendary Pigeon Feeder Refuses to Stop: Ignores Court Order, Scales Fence and Destroys Neighbor's Property, Continues Harassment Even After Leaving Police Detention
A 76-year-old woman ignored a court order and continued damaging her neighbor's property in Bang Buathong despite police mediation and compensation agreements, with security cameras capturing her trespassing and vandalizing the fence repeat
On May 26, 2025, a 60-year-old woman filed a complaint at Bang Buathong Police Station against 76-year-old Prapaisri (nicknamed the "Pigeon Feeder" by villagers) for her disruptive behavior of feeding pigeons and stray cats throughout the neighborhood. Despite residents appealing to the Administrative Court, which issued an order prohibiting her from feeding animals in the community, her behavior has escalated.
Most recently, Prapaisri scaled the neighbor's gate fence and vandalized the property. The victim recorded video evidence of the trespassing. Police called Prapaisri in for mediation, and she agreed to compensate 10,990 baht for damages to the water pump and wooden fence.
However, upon returning home from police detention at 6:30 p.m., the victim discovered the fence had been damaged again. Security camera footage showed Prapaisri attempting to climb the fence while the victim was filing another complaint. Neighbors also provided video clips showing Prapaisri continuing to feed pigeons on rooftops, climbing ladders to damage security cameras, and falling from a ladder during one incident.
The victim, Ms. Jarupa, reported that the fence was first damaged on April 25, 2024, resulting in a 2,000 baht fine for the perpetrator on May 13, 2024. A second incident occurred on May 17, 2024, when the perpetrator again trespassed and left the water running. Today's compensation was 10,990 baht for the pump and fence damages.
The victim expressed living in constant fear, waking each morning to check for vehicle damage, garbage, or cat feces. She has installed security cameras and states she will file another complaint if further incidents occur. Despite the court order and municipal directives, Prapaisri continues her daily animal feeding routine, becoming increasingly isolated from neighbors who no longer speak to her.
