This is the shocking moment an apparent pervert was caught taking pictures and videos of a woman in a cafe.

Footage shows the customer fiddling with his phone when he catches sight of the young woman posing for pictures behind the cafe's glass entrance in Kamphaeng Phet, Thailand on January 24.

Unbeknownst to the aspiring model, she was also being photographed from behind, with the leering man even zooming in to get a better view of her body.

A cafe patron looking out for the girls showed her the footage, but the voyeur had already left the shop with the video.

The girl who was being secretly recorded spoke publicly about the incident to warn others.

She said: 'I wanted to dress beautifully to take great photos. But whether or not I wear revealing clothes, no one has the right to secretly film me like this. I'm sure it isn't the first time he's done this.'

She added that she did not want to ruin the shop's reputation since both the food and staff were commendable.

The young woman said she will coordinate with the cafe to obtain security footage, which she will submit to the police for a complaint.
