A 44-year-old banker in Udon Thani endured nine months of stalking by a 60-year-old Bangkok woman who arrived demanding marriage, causing chaos, alarming neighbours, prompting police intervention, and drawing nationwide attention to obsessive, dangerous behaviour.
A 44-year-old banker in Thailand faced a terrifying confrontation on Tuesday when a 60-year-old stranger showed up at his doorstep demanding marriage. Police were called as neighbours revealed she had been stalking him since December, repeatedly appearing outside his home. Authorities sent her back to Bangkok, but local police are ready to act if she returns. The case highlights the alarming dangers of obsessive behaviour escalating into real-world threats.
A quiet neighbourhood in Udon Thani erupted into confusion on Tuesday, September 22, 2025, when a 60-year-old woman from Bangkok arrived at a man’s home with a suitcase. The woman, identified as Mei Hua, had travelled more than 560 kilometres to meet a man she had never met. She insisted on proposing marriage and discussing having children, despite his total lack of consent.
According to witnesses, Mei Hua arrived at the house of 44-year-old former bank employee “Ta” in the Khlong Charoen community, demanding entry. However, Ta refused to let her inside, shocked by the stranger’s audacity.
Consequently, the situation escalated into a tense standoff lasting several hours. She grew increasingly frustrated when he ignored her, waving luggage and insisting on her intentions. Police eventually intervened, mediating between the two until Mei Hua departed for Bangkok, suitcase in hand.

By the next morning, the story had gone viral across Thai social media, capturing nationwide attention. Ta described the incident as frightening and surreal, revealing this was not her first visit. In fact, Mei Hua had previously appeared at his home three times, including late 2024 and May 2025. “This was the worst attempt yet,” Ta said, still shaken by her persistence.
He explained that Mei Hua might have found him through his Facebook page, where he sells puppies. Moreover, she reportedly contacted him using various fake names, but he never responded. “I don’t know who she is or where she comes from,” Ta said. “She even mentioned that if she could not marry me, she would settle for sperm donation.”
Neighbours confirmed her repeated and obsessive behaviour. Ms. Cream recalled seeing Mei Hua standing outside in the rain during previous visits. “We told her to stop bothering him, and she agreed,” she said, “but she returned a third time. I believe she will definitely come back.”
Another neighbour, Maem, described the September 22 confrontation as chaotic. “His shirt tore during the struggle,” she said. “We were shocked. Why would she do this?”

The repeated encounters have left Ta genuinely fearful. He reported that he could not sleep the night after her visit, worrying about future confrontations. “Please stop bothering me,” he pleaded through the media. “I have no relationship to offer you. Don’t come back anymore.”
Police in Udon Thani emphasised the seriousness of the situation. Trespassing and harassment carry legal consequences, and officers urged the public to report similar behaviour. Meanwhile, senior officers noted that the standoff, though unusual, required careful mediation to ensure everyone’s safety.
Experts say the incident highlights how online interactions can escalate into real-world confrontations. Social media may allow obsessive individuals to locate and target strangers, sometimes travelling hundreds of kilometres. In this case, long-distance travel, repeated attempts, and direct confrontation alarmed neighbours and police alike.

Furthermore, mental health specialists noted that extreme romantic fixation can lead to impulsive actions, even when obvious risks exist. In this case, the woman’s insistence on marriage, or alternatively sperm donation, suggests possible delusional tendencies. Her repeated trespassing further indicates a serious disregard for personal boundaries.
The incident also raises public debate over privacy and safety in the digital age. Many social media users sympathised with Ta, while others criticised the absence of intervention in prior visits. Observers questioned how neighbours and local police could have prevented the escalation sooner.
While the local police station has not confirmed any ongoing investigation beyond mediation, Ta urged Mei Hua’s family to seek professional help for her. He emphasised repeatedly that he does not wish to have any contact. Neighbours, meanwhile, remain vigilant, fearing the woman may return.
Mental health experts warn obsessive behaviour combined with technology quickly crosses legal lines
Onlookers recalled dramatic details from Tuesday’s confrontation. Mei Hua’s struggle to enter the home caused Ta’s shirt to tear.
Passersby described the scene as shocking and unprecedented, echoing broader societal astonishment. Local residents now worry about the unpredictability of obsessive behaviour in their community.
This extraordinary episode certainly brings home the potential danger of obsessive online attention turning into physical confrontation. Ta’s life has been disrupted, and the psychological impact remains significant.
Udon Thani police continue to remind the public to report suspicious or persistent behaviour to prevent similar incidents.

The bizarre case also illustrates the limits of civility when personal boundaries are repeatedly violated. Despite no physical harm beyond property damage, the emotional strain on Ta is severe. Meanwhile, social media has latched onto this take. The obsessive woman has become a subject of national discussion.
Finally, the Udon Thani incident must be seen as a cautionary tale. The Hollywood blockbuster from 1987, Fatal Attraction, starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close, still reminds Western readers how dangerous this is. Such stories are undeniably based on true events. Indeed, stalking has become a major problem for law enforcement in the Western world since. It is undoubtedly not a joke or a matter to be treated lightly. The local Udon Thani residents on Tuesday grasped this.
Obsession, combined with modern technology, can quickly cross the line from harmless interest to harassment. Ta now remains cautious, neighbours are vigilant, and the story captivates Thai social media, showing the unpredictable consequences of obsessive behaviour and digital exposure.
