Witnesses included local fishermen and tourists visiting the area at the time. Despite attracting considerable attention, the woman reportedly showed no concern about being observed while continuing the photoshoot.
Additional images showed the same tourist standing nude on a tree branch extending over the rocks. The images quickly spread across social media, prompting widespread discussion online.
Many social media users responded with humorous comments about the unusual scene. Some joked that fishermen nearby were too distracted to finish preparing their fishing lines, while others commented on the photographs themselves or warned jokingly about fishing hooks catching the model. Several comments also linked the distraction to fish refusing to bite.
Amarin reported that the incident comes amid continued attention on tourist behaviour in Phuket, where local authorities and residents have previously raised concerns over conduct viewed as inappropriate in public areas. However, no official statement from police or local authorities had yet been reported.
