Phichit man reports sexual assault by women and transwomen during Songkran
A man filed a police complaint after a group of women and transwomen sexually assaulted him during Songkran celebrations in Phichit province, leaving a hickey on his neck.
The victim, identified only as Chitsanupong, shared photos of marks on his neck on Facebook yesterday, April 15. Based on the tagged location in the post, the sexual assault took place at the Songkran Festival on Khao Tang Road.
Chitsanupong said a group of three to four women and transwomen approached him and applied powder to him, as is common during Songkran.
He alleged that members of the group groped him and ignored his repeated pleas to stop. When he attempted to shield himself, he claimed the group caused bruising to his neck, leaving the marks visible in the provided photographs.
According to his account, the individuals encouraged one another to continue the assault throughout the encounter.
At the end of his post, Chitsanupong asked netizens whether he could take legal action against the group. Many commenters who said they had experienced similar incidents stated that the actions were against the law and urged him to report the matter to the police.
Chitsanupong later updated the post to say he had already filed a complaint with officers at Mueang Phichit Police Station and would share further developments with the online community.
The post went viral on social media, drawing more than 1,000 comments and 8,400 shares. Many men also used the comment section to describe similar experiences, saying they were unable to defend themselves because the attackers acted in groups.
Another sexual assault case during Songkran was reported on Rama IV Road in Bangkok, where a man allegedly groped a female journalist. The woman reportedly screamed for help, leading to the suspect’s immediate arrest.
In Phuket, locals and foreign tourists also criticised a group of foreigners for their aggressive Songkran behaviour. The group was accused of harassing women and passing motorists, blocking a public road, demanding money, and forcing open a van before splashing water inside.
