Pattaya —
At 11:00 PM on December 6th, 2024, Pattaya Tourist Police arrested a Chinese man and a Thai woman for public indecency on Jomtien Beach. The pair was caught engaging in sexual activity on the beach and in the sea, ignoring warnings from bystanders for over 30 minutes.
Despite shouts from bystanders to stop, the couple allegedly continued their actions until police arrived. The man was detained immediately, while the woman tried to evade capture by remaining underwater, later requesting assistance to retrieve clothes as she was reportedly naked.
The names of the couple were withheld by the police.
She eventually emerged but protested loudly, questioning her wrongdoing before being escorted to the Pattaya City police station for questioning.
Witnesses stated that the woman had been drinking at a nearby restaurant before meeting the man. The two appeared to argue briefly before heading to the beach.
Tourists initially thought it was a lovers’ quarrel but were shocked as the couple began explicit acts in full view of the public. Authorities were called, and despite multiple warnings, the pair continued until their arrest.
