Nude sister came to rescue of hit-and-run suspect

A 36-year-old Thai woman stripped naked and climbed on top of her sister’s car to prevent police from arresting her sister for an alleged hit-and-run accident. Sukholtha Khemthong’s nude spectacle at a Central Road, Buriram tied up what traffic was there at around 5 a.m. and drew catcalls from bystanders and embarrassed confusion from male officers who didn’t want to be seen dragging her bare portly figure from the roof of her sister Suthathip Khemthong’s Mazda.



Shouting drunkenly at officers that she shouldn’t be arrested as she a member of the “red shirt” anti-establishment movement that backs the current national government, Sukholtha was finally coaxed into her clothing by female onlookers.

The incident occurred after 45-year-old Johann Mitterpleininger complained to police he was hit while driving his motorbike on Soi Buakow by a hit-and-run driver. Using his description of the car, police located and pulled over Suthathip who, along with her sister, were driving home after a night of drinking and partying in South Pattaya.



Suthathip tried to persuade officers she hadn’t fled the accident scene and had planned to return after dropping off her sister at their hotel. Officers weren’t buying the story and locked up the driver, who apologized for her sister, who she said often acts out when drunk.
