The last episode of the year does not disappoint with this week’s stories true to the WTF brand: notably allegations of security personnel sticking fingers in festival goers’ bras and grabbing crotches at the recent 808 Festival in Bangkok. Coconuts Bangkok Nicky Tanskul (who was also there at the EDM fest) sheds light on the account of a female attendee who came with receipts.

We also reminisce on the year that was through highlights on the podcast. Tune in!
