Thai woman exposes employer’s lewd advances, explicit messages
A Thai woman took to social media to expose her employer, a restaurant owner in the Isaan province of Khon Kaen, for sexually harassing her by sending lewd messages and pictures, including an image of his penis.
The 30 year old victim, Nat, resigned from the restaurant and filed a complaint against the owner at Mueang Khon Kaen Police Station. She later shared her story in a Facebook group for Khon Kaen residents to warn others, especially women, to avoid working at the place.
In an interview with Channel 8, Nat revealed that she heard rumours about her employer’s inappropriate behaviour when she first started working at the restaurant. However, as nothing happened to her at the time, she chose to ignore it and continued working.
Nat worked there for five months before the harassment began. The issue arose after she viewed an explicit picture shared by her employer on social media. The employer noticed her among the viewers of his post and sent her a message.
“Don’t be unrestrained when looking at the pictures I share, OK? But if you’re interested, I can open a whole new world for you.”
The employer then asked Nat for sex and invited her to join him in watching swinging activities at a hotel. Nat refused his advances and firmly stated her lack of interest. She immediately planned to resign and began searching for a new job
Pervert employer
While waiting for new employment, Nat endured continued sexual harassment from her employer, who persisted in sending her lewd messages and invitations for sex. He also sent her explicit pictures of his penis or sex toys daily, boasting about his sexual prowess with messages such as…
“I usually pay 5,000 baht for sex. I’ll double it for you. Is that OK?”
“Everyone wants to have sex with me when they see this (sending a picture of his penis). Don’t you want to try?”
“I know you want to have sex with me too but you are too shy.”
The harassment escalated when the employer sent Nat videos of himself masturbating while drunk and continued to pressure her for sex, even offering her money in exchange.
Although Nat eventually left the restaurant, the harassment did not stop. The employer ordered other staff members to search for her at her accommodation and her boyfriend’s workplace, attempting to bring her back to the restaurant. Feeling unsafe, Nat decided to leave the province altogether.
Nat urged the police to expedite their investigation and take her case more seriously. She expressed concern that the restaurant owner might flee before police acted.
Channel 8 reported that its team attempted to contact the restaurant owner, but he declined to speak with the media.
