An LGBTQ+ man in Chiang Mai who admits that riding his bike naked in the rain makes him sexually aroused was busted after locals raised concerns.
Mae Faek police arrested the man, “B”, 49, after he was spotted on CCTV riding the streets in San Sai district, naked and with sex toys attached to the front of his bike.
B, originally from Lampang province and who identifies as LGBTQ+, said he had been roaming around the village in this unusual fashion, what he called a “personal preference”, for six years.
Residents filmed him on one of his nighttime escapades early on July 1. The clip was posted online, sparking concerns from locals who say they feared for their safety.
Police traced the motorcycle and arrested him in the middle of the street in Phaya Chedi village. A search turned up three large sex toys and three bottles of lubricant hidden inside a backpack.
B said he experiences sexual urges during the rainy season and would go out once a week for about an hour, riding his motorcycle with a sex toy along the back roads of the village, trying to avoid encounters with residents.
He acknowledged his actions were wrong and apologised to the local community, adding he would seek medical help for his condition.
Police charged him with possession of items related to violations of the Customs Act, public indecency, and possessing obscene materials.
