Bangkok police have gone viral after sharing a video of a Thai woman filing a bizarre complaint against “Colonel Sanders” and a homeless man, accusing them of attempting to physically assault her.

The clip was shared by a police officer from Bang Khen Police Station on his TikTok account, @tonkhow_copnurse, on Monday, January 5. In the video, the woman is seen speaking to the officer while making a formal complaint. She claimed…

“His name is Phu Phan (meaning Colonel in Thai) and his surname is Sanders. He tried to strangle me outside Zeer Rangsit shopping mall. He followed me from Rangsit to Kasetsart University. He also ordered a homeless man to control me.”

The woman was in a black lace dress and a red hat and was in full makeup, giving the impression that she may have recently attended a party or music festival.

The officer appeared to suspect that the woman was under the influence of alcohol or experiencing mental health issues. Despite this, he calmly played along with the situation and pretended to formally receive her complaint.

When the officer asked to see her identification card, the woman refused, saying she had lost it. Instead, she asked police to check her Facebook account, telling the officer that the account name was “I’m a crazy person, I’m insane.”

The video showed the officer humorously pretending to enter her complaint into a computer system before escorting her out of the police station. At the end of the clip, the woman was seen carrying several paper shopping bags, along with a plastic bag from McDonald’s.

The officer then jokingly asked why she chose McDonald’s over KFC. She replied…

“No, I don’t like KFC. I have an issue with its founder.”

She told the officer she planned to walk home. Before parting ways, the officer complimented her dress and makeup and wished her well.

The video quickly gained traction online, prompting mixed reactions. Some netizens questioned whether the incident was staged for social media content or if it was a genuine encounter at the police station. Others flooded the comments with jokes including…

“She was hired by McDonald’s to slander its rival.”

“Who’s going to run KFC if Sanders gets arrested?”

“Can I report Colonel Sanders because the chicken pieces are smaller than in the ads?”

“I just saw the suspect. He was wearing white and had grey hair!”
