A group of foreign tourists, believed to be Russian nationals, were filmed allegedly engaging in sexual activity in the sea in Pattaya despite repeated warnings from bystanders, according to a witness who recorded the incident.
The footage circulated online and showed eight foreign tourists, four men and four women, allegedly entering the water together while intoxicated. No source has confirmed the specific beach where the footage was filmed.
In the video, the group was seen in pairs in the sea, allegedly having sex in the water.
Tourists and locals nearby reportedly filmed the incident and shouted objections at the group, but the tourists allegedly ignored the warnings and continued their behaviour.
One pair reportedly left the scene after noticing people recording videos, while the remaining couples stayed in the water.
Siam Chon News reported that at 2.06am today, May 6, reporters visited 44 year old Mon, the witness who posted the video online. He said the incident took place between around 3am and 4am on the day it was filmed.
Mon said he was upset by what happened and said he and others had tried to stop the group but were ignored. He said he recorded the video as evidence in the hope that relevant agencies would investigate the matter.
Mon claimed that similar incidents had previously involved Chinese and other foreign tourists, which he believed damaged the image of Pattaya and Thailand as tourist destinations.
