"I try to relax. I try and relax, so shut up!"
After she talked back to him, the man chased her down as she ran away with the camera. After losing him, the streamer told her audience that what had just happened was not normal.

"This is not normal, this is f*cking weird."

Why was IRL Streamer Justketh chased by a man in a resort?
Since IRL streaming has gained popularity in recent times, travel vlogging and livestreaming have become quite commonplace on Twitch. Justketh is such an IRL streamer from Thailand who loves to travel. This is not the first time that she had trouble while streaming either. Back in July, she was harassed by a Frenchman who thought she was deliberately filming him.
The latest incident where she was chased occurred in a resort on her 60-hour Pattaya stream. While the viral clip of the man chasing her showed his aggression, it didn't explain why he went up to her in the first place. Going back a few minutes in the VOD showed the stranger making some indecent gestures when the streamer first appeared on the poolside.
Justketh could clearly be heard shouting "no" from her side of the pool as she refused to go sit with him. She then explained what had just happened off-camera:
"Okay, first of all, he f*cking sit like that. And then I look at him and smile, because I'm thinking like, "Is he gonna have a problem with me streaming?' And then you know what he do? He do this... he does this like a gesture towards his d*ck or something. Yeah, and now he wants me to sit with him."
In another clip, the man could be seen throwing her stuff to the ground as she explained the story to the hotel staff.
Redditors react to Justketh being harassed on stream

In a string of tweets, Justketh revealed that after her report, the police wanted to fine him for harassment. But the man apparently claimed that he had "no access to cash," so he was taken to the station and was kept in jail for a night. Additionally, a fine of 300€ was also levied on him according to the tweet.
