Shocking incident at Phu Kradueng: Woman claims man posing as official unzipped tent while she was changing clothes
A man posing as a park official unzipped a woman's tent at Phu Kradueng National Park while she was changing clothes at 1 AM on May 12, prompting authorities to launch an investigation into the alleged assault.
On May 14, a young woman posted a warning in the 'Phu Kradueng Love' Facebook group after a disturbing camping experience at Phu Kradueng National Park. The incident occurred between 1-2 AM on May 12 when a man claiming to be a park official approached her tent with increasingly aggressive behavior. He first told her to turn off lights that weren't on, then claimed she needed to move her tent due to wild gaur activity. When she began changing clothes to pack up, the man reappeared, shining his phone flashlight through the tent's ventilation in her face. As she requested time to put her shirt on, he immediately unzipped the tent. She managed to photograph him before he fled, and she revealed this was the fourth such incident reported.
Phu Kradueng National Park has issued an official statement confirming they received the report on May 12 afternoon. Initial investigation found that the individual falsely claimed to be park staff, approached the tourist at night, pressured her to relocate without proper identification, circled her tent, and used phone light to obscure his identity by shining it in her face through ventilation gaps. The man had a red leather phone case. When the tourist began recording, he quickly fled toward the rear right of the tent. Due to limited evidence and identifying details, park officials cannot yet confirm the perpetrator's identity and continue investigating. They have requested the tourist remain available for further inquiry until her scheduled departure on May 14.
