A female British tourist was found wandering the streets of Bangkok, Thailand, naked on Tuesday afternoon.
The woman, who is in her mid-30s, had been missing for several days before onlookers spotted her walking near the popular tourist spot Khao San Road.
Photos of the incident show several Bangkok police officials helping the woman after finding her wandering through the city. There is no suspicion that the woman was attacked.
When the woman’s parents saw their daughter’s photos online, her mother flew to Bangkok in hope of being reunited with her.
The woman ran away when police first tried to speak with her, but officials later caught her on a nearby bridge and handed her a cloth to cover herself up.
They tried to question her but they could not understand her then they took her to a hospital for examination.
As of now, the woman is believed to be at the Chana Songkhram police station, but officials can’t hold her indefinitely because she hasn’t committed a crime.
The woman’s mother is hoping to reach the police station before she is released.

This is the bizarre moment a blonde female backpacker was found walking NAKED in the street.
Onlookers spotted the woman in her mid-30s without any clothes earlier this afternoon near popular tourist spot Khao San Road, in Bangkok, Thailand.
Police arrived and tried to talk to the woman but she ran away. They radioed colleagues who caught her on a bridge and handed her a sarong to cover herself up.
The woman was taken away to be questioned but police said they could not understand her. She was then taken to hospital for an examination.
Rescue worker Jakchai Banyensakul, who took the pictures and video, said: ëíThe woman was found in Khao San Road. It was very hot, and there are a lot of tourists there. Itís mainly foreign backpackers here so we think she is on a travelling trip.
ëíShe wasnít making any sense. She will not say what happened to her and she refused to answer any questions in English and Thai.í’
The woman was found at around 2.30pm local time. She was taken in a van to the local Chana Songkhram police station.
A police spokesman said: ”The woman was found without any clothes. She was uncooperative and has not said anything.
ë’She has been checked by nurses and there is no suspicion of any attack on her. She not complain about anything. We still donít know who she is and why she was running away from us.
ëíWe will wait for her to settle down. We will have to wait for a couple of days and find out what is wrong with her. But as she has not done anything wrong she could be released shortly.”
