Thai transwoman’s German picnic turns into a viral police encounter (video)
A Thai transwoman recounted an encounter with the police in Germany, sparked by a misunderstanding over loud noise while she and her German boyfriend were enjoying a picnic and livestreaming outside their apartment.
The livestream video of the Thai transwoman, Chananthida “Pinky” Sanonok, went viral on the Thai TikTok app after it captured the moment German police officers approached them during a picnic outside their apartment in the city of Villingen-Schwenningen.
The viral video initially shocked Pinky’s fans, as many thought she had been arrested in Germany for overstaying her visa. The video showed Pinky preparing papaya salad with her German boyfriend outside their home. Two police officers, one male and one female, approached them and initially engaged in conversation in German.
The officers then spoke to Pinky in English and asked to see her documents. She provided all the necessary documentation to the officers before they left.
As many of her fans were curious about the situation, Pinky made another TikTok video to clarify what had happened that day. She explained that the police had been called because a resident suspected they were having an argument and was concerned for Pinky’s safety.
However, the loud noise did not come from Pinky or her boyfriend, but from another resident who had sneezed loudly. The couple reassured the police about their peaceful life and pointed out the loud sneeze, helping the officers understand the situation, after which they left the scene.
Pinky added that she and her boyfriend were fine and had not broken any laws. She also joked that the police officers seemed confused when they saw “Mister” in front of her name. Pinky said the officers stared at her, so she made a joke that her appearance might be different due to some Botox injections.
Several other Thai netizens living in Germany shared in the comments section that they had experienced similar incidents, as quietness and peace are highly valued in German communities. Some mentioned that German neighbours are always vigilant in looking out for strangers in their neighbourhoods.
Other Thai netizens praised the German police for their attention to potential domestic violence, which they contrasted with the priorities of Thai officers.
