NAKHON RATCHASIMA — 13 March 2026, A naked man was found sitting on the M6 motorway in Nakhon Ratchasima province on Friday morning, prompting highway police and rescue workers to intervene and move him to a safe area. Highway police officers on routine patrol along the Bang Pa-in–Nakhon Ratchasima motorway received reports from motorists that a man was sitting on the road surface while naked between kilometre markers 179 and 180, in the Kham Thale So–Nakhon Ratchasima bypass section near the exit to Mueang Nakhon Ratchasima district. The sight alarmed drivers passing the area, who feared the man could be struck by a vehicle. Police arrived at the scene and coordinated with Hook 31 Nakhon Ratchasima rescue workers to assist. Officers found a man sitting on the roadside without clothes. He had a short buzz cut, tattoos on both arms and was wearing a Buddhist amulet necklace. Authorities estimated he was no older than about 35. Rescue workers attempted to speak with him, but communication proved difficult. They provided him with trousers before police escorted him away from the motorway to a safe location to prevent potential harm to both the man and passing motorists. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the man’s identity, where he is from and how he came to be on the motorway in that condition, in order to provide further assistance.
